Sinopse

Slippery Words explores how language subtly shapes societal decline by influencing our actions and perspectives. It examines how seemingly small changes in terminology can create "slippery slopes," leading to negative outcomes in areas from public policy to individual ethics. The book argues that recognizing the potential for linguistic manipulation is key to reversing these trends.

 
The book delves into three core areas: the manipulation of language in political discourse, the erosion of ethical standards, and the unintended consequences of well-intentioned interventions. For example, the strategic framing of issues by political actors can significantly sway public opinion. Using case studies and historical examples, Slippery Words offers critical analysis of how rhetoric and propaganda impact our world.

 
The book progresses systematically, first introducing the concept of slippery slope arguments, then dedicating sections to each of the core topics. By the conclusion, readers are equipped with strategies for identifying and mitigating the effects of manipulative language in their own lives and communities. This approach blends rhetorical analysis, social scientific research, and historical context to empower readers to think critically and make responsible decisions.

    Kingdom of Wolves clears the path to understanding the unconscious drives that motivate if not govern the behaviours of predators, abusers, bullies, their victims and the underlying issues that draw them to each other. The author demystifies the complexities of human behaviour, merging old concepts with new as she guides you through the emotional and psychological landscapes of the abuser’s and victim’s psyche. She provides a simple but profound insight into the adverse causes and outcomes of early childhood and adolescent development, linking it to present-day adult ways of life. Juliana, once a victim of domestic abuse herself, believes that freedom, reclamation, redemption and wholeness of spirit can only be achieved by taking a journey inward. She hopes through this book to provide a way forward for victims who are trapped by their past experiences or present-day abusive circumstances and concludes that the key to recognition, understanding and prevention of violence and abuse can only be gained through acquiring a deeper awareness of human behaviour.

    The poems in Natalie Ann Holborow's third collection, Little Universe, are an exploration of tumultuous human emotions and nature's ever-present rhythms.
    
    Lives bustle within a busy hospital's walls, humming against the Gower landscape that stretches beyond its windows. The tiny worlds of a wide cast unfold as they deal with their own emergencies, losses, recoveries, hopes and histories.
    
    Medical students stride along the corridors in rubber shoes, scars running the lengths of their lives. A janitor is crying in the Gents, watching the flowers at the hospital entrance shrug themselves back into earth. The biblical Lilith offers knowledge from one woman to the other. And somewhere in the distance, a bunker dissolves into gold upon Pennard's shoulder, dusk folding to sleep on Rhossili.
    
    The characters in this book are all bound by the undying pulse of existence – yet their stories serve as a reminder that despite these stark contrasts, life persists.

    What do nineteenth–century fiction, early twentieth–century popular music, 1930s soccer, 1950s film comedy, 1960s experimental art and 1970s soap operas have in common with one another? Each reveal the deep patterns structuring social and cultural life in Rio de Janeiro. Bringing a fresh perspective to one of the most visited cities in South America, Bryan McCann explores each manifestation in turn, mining their depths and drawing connections between artistic movements and political and economic transitions. The book explores the centrality of slavery to every aspect of life in nineteenth century Rio and its long legacy through to the current day, illuminating both the city's grinding inequality and violence, as well as its triumphant cultural expressions. Rio de Janeiro is a unique and fascinating city, and through ten pivotal moments, McCann reveals its boundless creativity and contradictions, and shows how it has been continually remade by newcomers, strivers, and tricksters.

    Obedience training for a bully… 
    Wade Johnson is the golden boy jock at our school, the star quarterback-- and a total jerk. He started calling me a “queer” back in ninth grade, and he and his football goons have been hassling me every day since. 
    But now I’ve got something to keep Wade in line-- a video that could destroy his social life and end his football playing days for good. 
    You’d think Wade would keep that in mind, and try to stay on my good side. Play nice. Keep the other jocks from messing with me. But Wade’s not that smart. 
    At school, he’s still the same homophobic bully he’s always been. So after school, he has to make it up to me. 
    It’s almost like that guy wants to be punished.
