Sinossi

Traditional Rank Systems explores the pervasive nature of social hierarchy throughout history and across diverse cultures. Examining the origins and maintenance of these systems, the book highlights how societies create and perpetuate ranked orders, impacting everything from cultural identity to social justice. Intriguingly, these systems, often presented as natural, are actually complex constructions of power and ideology, shaping social relations and individual opportunities even today.

 
The book progresses through key sections, first dissecting the mechanics of rank and how hierarchies are established via institutions like kinship and religion. It then analyzes the narratives that legitimize these systems, looking at how superiority and inferiority are perpetuated through cultural symbols. Finally, the enduring legacies of rank systems are explored, tracing their influence on contemporary social structures.

 
Drawing on anthropological records and historical accounts, the book offers a comparative analysis, revealing the universal dynamics of social stratification and providing valuable insights applicable to understanding modern social issues.

A Rare Recording of Maxwell Maltz

Maxwell Maltz

Maxwell Maltz (1889-1975) was a plastic surgeon best known for his bestseller, "Psycho-Cybernetics." In the book, Maltz explains a system of ideas that he thought could improve a person’s self-image and would help that person to live a more successful and fulfilling life. His ideas focus on visualizing one's goals. Maltz believed if a person’s self-image was unhealthy or poor, all of his or her efforts would end in failure. This recording is part of a lecture Maltz gave on Psycho-Cybernetics' key principles.

The Myth of Left and Right - How...

Verlan Lewis, Hyrum Lewis

A groundbreaking argument that the political spectrum today is inadequate to twenty-first-century America and a major source of the confusion and hostility that characterize contemporary political discourse. 
 
 
 
As American politics descends into a battle of anger and hostility between two groups called "left" and "right," people increasingly ask: What is the essential difference between these two ideological groups? In The Myth of Left and Right, Hyrum Lewis and Verlan Lewis provide the surprising answer: nothing. As the authors argue, there is no enduring philosophy, disposition, or essence uniting the various positions associated with the liberal and conservative ideologies of today. Far from being an eternal dividing line of American politics, the political spectrum came to the United States in the 1920s and, since then, left and right have evolved in so many unpredictable and even contradictory ways that there is currently nothing other than tribal loyalty holding together the many disparate positions that fly under the banners of "liberal" and "conservative." Cutting against the grain of most scholarship on polarization in America, this book shows why the idea that the political spectrum measures deeply held worldviews is the central political myth of our time and a major cause of the confusion and vitriol that characterize public discourse.

Dr. Chris Chlebowski

There will almost certainly be more pandemics in our future. Yet, during the coronavirus crisis, not a single major public-health official took the simple step of telling Americans what we all need to hear: robust good health?healthy immunity, low inflammation, low toxic burden, and freedom from stealth infection and chronic disease?is our best defense against infectious viral disease. The way our bodies interact with infectious disease is complicated?both a function of the “germ” and the “terrain”?the virus and the host. In The Virus and the Host, Dr. Chlebowski succinctly describes emerging science on the virome and how toxic exposure, chronic inflammation, infections, and chronic diseases interact and predispose us to poor outcomes from acute viral infection. He then clearly outlines the tools needed for better health, including these: -The best nutrients to supercharge your immunity -How to harness the power of botanical medicine -How to detoxify simply and safely at home -Valuable information on simple treatment and recommended diagnostic tests for given conditions As we move forward from the tragedy of COVID-19, it is essential that we come together to learn from our mistakes and work hard?and work together?to prevent a similar crisis in the future. When the next pandemic hits, we need to be better prepared. Now is the time to do something, and it is the best investment we can make so that when the next one hits we can keep our loved ones and ourselves safe and healthy.
