Sinopse

"Time Myths" explores the fascinating connection between how we track time today and the ancient myths that continue to shape our understanding of cosmic cycles. It argues that our current scientific and historical views on time are deeply rooted in cultural narratives, challenging the notion of time as solely objective. For instance, many ancient calendars, such as the Mayan or Egyptian, weren't just about marking days; they were tangible expressions of mythological beliefs. The book progresses by first introducing fundamental concepts of time and mythology, then analyzing specific calendars to reveal embedded narratives. It supports its claims with archaeological findings, ancient texts, and astronomical data. By comparing ancient myths with modern scientific practices, "Time Myths" reveals hidden cultural biases in our understanding of time. This approach offers readers fresh insights into modern interpretations of time and its impact on society, highlighting how our perception of time is a cultural construct. Ultimately, recognizing the cultural relativity of time, as "Time Myths" advocates, can deepen our understanding of diverse societies and worldviews. This recognition is crucial for cross-cultural communication and education. The book provides a unique perspective on the cultural construction of time, valuable for anyone interested in history, science, or mythology.

    In Israel and the Cyber Threat, Charles D. ("Chuck") Freilich, Matthew S. Cohen, and Gabi Siboni provide a detailed and comprehensive study of Israel's cyber strategy, tracing it from its origins to the present. They analyze Israel's highly advanced civil and military cyber capabilities and organizational structures to offer insights into what other countries can learn from Israel's experience. To achieve this, they explore how and why Israel has been able to build a remarkable cyber ecosystem and turn itself, despite its small size, into a global cyber power. The book further examines the major cyber threats facing Israel, including the most in-depth look at Iranian cyber policies and attacks; Israel's defensive and offensive capabilities and the primary attacks it has conducted; capacity building; international cooperation; and the impact of Israel's strategic culture on its cyber prowess. By placing Israel's actions in the realm of international relations theory, the book sheds light on many of the major questions in the field regarding cyber policies. 
     
     
     
    The most authoritative work to date on Israeli cyber strategy, this book provides a comprehensive look at the major actions Israel has taken in cyberspace. It also places them in the broader context of global cyber developments to help listeners understand state behavior in cyberspace.

    In underserved communities across the United States, violence, food insecurity, unstable housing, lead poisoning, and other factors such as racist redlining policies negatively impact young people's everyday experiences―and their futures. What opportunities are available to young Black people living in these neighborhoods? What are their survival expectations? Who can they look to for support? Lorece V. Edwards offers a thought-provoking and timely account of the day-to-day experience of living in America's neglected neighborhoods. 
     
    Edwards examines the reality of growing up Black in marginalized communities and provides a nuanced perspective of the daily lives of these youths. Many of the practices for which these young people are demonized are survival strategies. Structural violence plays a key role in their opportunities to be successful. Using Baltimore as a case study, Edwards examines the historical roots of how these neighborhoods developed. 
     
    The narrative is enriched through firsthand accounts of youth who live in these neighborhoods. Incorporating the results of longitudinal research projects focused on sexual health, substance use, communicable diseases, and decision-making among minority youth, Edwards provides recommendations for how to address systemic issues and change the trajectory of these children's futures.

    In Freedom For All, Neville points freedom inward: true liberation begins when you stop being ruled by appearances and reclaim your inner authority. He argues that you can change your life by changing the concept you hold of yourself; moving from victim of circumstance to the operant power. It’s a motivational, faith-centred call to awaken, assume higher states, and let inner conviction express as outer release.
    
    Freedom as a change of self-concept
    Refusing appearances as final truth
    Inner authority and personal responsibility
    Faith and assumption as practical tools

    The remarkable wartime diary of nurse Kathleen Johnstone 
    ‘Warm, chatty and endlessly absorbing, this delightful diary brims with intelligence and humour.’ Wendy Moore, author of Endell Street: The Women Who Ran Britain’s Trailblazing Military Hospital 
    The second world war could not have been won without the bravery and selflessness of women on the Home Front. Women like Kathleen Johnstone. 
    This first-hand story of one extraordinary but unheralded member of Britain’s ‘Greatest Generation’ brings home with extraordinary lucidity and compassion the realities of wartime Lancashire. 
    In 1943, Kathleen, then thirty, was a nurse-in-training at the Blackburn Royal Infirmary. For the next three years she kept a meticulous diary of her day-to-day existence, leaving behind a vivid record of the real-time concerns of a busy, thoughtful woman on the frontline of the war at home. 
    Kathleen’s days were never the same. She writes in clear and lively prose about life in the hospital: of her fellow nurses, her patients, about death and dying, and the progress of the war as wounded soldiers returned from Normandy in the summer of 1944. She muses on being working class, wartime austerity, and her anxiety about examinations. Here too are dances, Americans and a POW boyfriend in Germany. Kathleen’s observations are witty, wry and astute – but above all relatable, even today. 
    Poignant and engrossing, Kathleen Johnstone’s tale of trauma, romance and friendship will leave a lasting impression. 
    Kathleen Johnstone's personal memoirs provide a unique perspective on the social history of 20th century Europe. As a top nurse during the war, her experiences with patients and her insights into the medical challenges of the time make this autobiography a must-read. 
    For fans of Grace Dent (Comfort Eating), and Mary Morris (A Very Private Diary).
