Sinopsis

"Modern Adjustments" explores the fascinating evolution of global timekeeping, revealing the hidden scientific and historical forces that shape our daily lives. The book examines ongoing adjustments to our calendrical systems, like leap years and leap seconds, which are vital for maintaining astronomical accuracy. Did you know that without these seemingly minor corrections, our calendars would drift significantly over time, eventually misaligning with the seasons? The book also delves into the relatively recent history of time zone standardization and its profound impact on international communication and global commerce. These zones, while appearing straightforward, are the result of complex negotiations and agreements, reflecting the interconnectedness of our modern world. The text progresses through key concepts, the history of calendar reform, and potential future scenarios, offering a comprehensive view of time standardization. This book uniquely emphasizes the dynamic interplay between scientific accuracy, historical context, and practical considerations in global timekeeping. It's not just a technical overview but an exploration of how these factors shape our understanding of time. By drawing upon historical documents, scientific publications, and international data "Modern Adjustments" connects astronomy, history, and economics to provide a rich, accessible narrative for anyone interested in the science and history behind our calendars and clocks.

    Importance of the Book 
    1.        Education has become a determining factor for everyone to scale up the ladder of success. Therefore everyone has an inherent desire to do well or rather excel in studies. Students involved with studies as well as their parents, teachers and other well-wishers will want a student to excel in studies. However, only a few students excel in studies, whereas the majority perform average or even poor. Elders and peers can motivate a student and the teachers can teach the subject content. Still, the mechanics of "How to study" is the gap that most students cannot bridge. The students who understand the mechanics of how to study are the ones who constantly excel in their studies. This book will bring out the finer details about the mechanics of "How to Study". The systematic method to excel in studies advocated in this book will cover all the aspects right from the beginning when the student gets to know that he is affected for a course until the final day of the final examinations. 
     Who should buy this book? 
     2.        This book will be immensely valuable for students with a basic developed understanding capability, i.e. the age group starting twelve years of age. It will serve well even the students enrolling for professional courses or even competitive examinations. The parents of young students who want their kids to excel in studies will also be hugely benefitted from this book. Apart from them, the teachers at various academic institutions would also find this book insightful and quite helpful in training their students in the art of systematic learning methodologies.

    Crystallizing Public Opinion -...

    The Bare-Knuckled Truths of Edward BernaysYou may not know Edward Bernays, but Edward Bernays knows you.  His 1923 classic Crystallizing Public Opinion set down the principles that corporations and government have used to influence and manipulate public attitudes over the past century, and the mass media continues that practice today.This seminal work on how public opinion is created and shaped, offers a glimpse into the world of propaganda and advertising. Bernays, who believes the public behaves like a herd of animals, shows how ideas about what to eat, and how we should look and dress can easily be put into our heads. He outlines how the masses can be controlled in whatever way the influencer chooses.This original and complete edition includes a new Introduction by PEN Award-winning historian, Mitch Horowitz.By adapting the ideas that this pioneering PR strategist, who considered himself part of an intellectual and economic elite entitled to govern public opinion and global policy, governments and advertisers have been able to “regiment the mind.” His work explains the popularity of today’s TV news shout-fests and angry social media posts because, as Bernays observed, crowds love a contest. This crowd-contest dynamic fuels the hostile and sarcastic comment chains that populate Twitter, Facebook, and other social media outlets.We know that beliefs can gain sudden popularity based on the public’s proclivity for seven factors: “flight-fear, repulsion-disgust, curiosity-wonder, pugnacity-anger, self-display-elation, self-abasement-subjection, parental-love-tenderness.”Named as one of the 100 most influential Americans of the 20th Century by Life magazine, Bernays’ clients included the American Tobacco Company, several U.S. presidents and the opponents of the Guatemalan revolution. This Austrian-born nephew of Sigmund Freud made a study of the different ways to use propaganda.  "Crystallizing Public Opinion" was his first major effort to sell himself and his philosophy of public relations.

    "The Problems of Philosophy" is a book written by Bertrand Russell and first published in 1912. The book is a concise introduction to some of the central problems in philosophy, and it aims to explain them in an accessible way to a general audience. 
    Russell begins by outlining the distinction between appearance and reality, arguing that things are not always as they seem. He then moves on to discuss the nature of knowledge and truth, and explores the question of how we can be sure that our beliefs are justified. 
    Another important topic in the book is the nature of existence, and Russell asks whether the external world is real or simply a construct of our minds. He also discusses the relationship between mind and body, and the problem of free will. 
    Russell's writing is clear and straightforward, and he uses examples and analogies to help the reader understand complex philosophical concepts. While the book is not intended to be a comprehensive survey of all philosophical problems, it provides an excellent introduction to some of the most important issues in the field, and is a valuable resource for anyone interested in philosophy.
