Sinopsis

Craving Mechanisms explores the intricate science behind addiction, revealing how the brain's reward system is hijacked by substances or behaviors. It highlights the crucial role of the mesolimbic dopamine system in driving cravings, while also examining the prefrontal cortex's reduced ability to control impulsive actions. Understanding these neurobiological pathways is critical because addiction has a significant global impact. The book traces our understanding of addiction, reframing it from a moral failing to a recognized brain disorder. This book uniquely blends neuroscience and psychology to offer a comprehensive view of addiction.

 
It is structured into three main parts, beginning with the neurobiology of cravings, continuing to the psychological aspects of cravings shaped by environmental cues and learned behaviors, and concluding with evidence-based interventions like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS). The text emphasizes the importance of understanding both neurological and psychological components for effective, long-term recovery.

 
By integrating the latest research, Craving Mechanisms provides practical insights into managing cravings and making informed treatment decisions. The books approach is accessible, translating complex scientific concepts into understandable language for a broad audience, including those in psychology, neuroscience, and medicine, as well as individuals and families affected by addiction.

    Could the Trump family's connections to time travel, esoteric knowledge, and secret societies hold clues to unlocking the mysteries of our past and future?
    
    By the end of this book, you will be able to connect the uncanny parallels between the novels Lockwood penned over a century ago and the Trump family legacy. Additionally, you will be able to solve the mystery to the upcoming 2024 election season.
    
    In the annals of American presidential history, there is no more peculiar tale than the eerie similarities between former President Donald Trump and a series of novels called, The Baron Trump Collection, penned by the obscure yet seemingly prophetic hand of American lawyer and novelist Ingersoll Lockwood in the late 1800s.
    
    The Trump Code delves into the connections between the Baron Trump novels and the enigmatic Trump family legacy, asking whether this nineteenth-century novelist foresaw the future of not only Trump but America and the world. It also uncovers a web of historical events and divine providence.
    
    Drawing from biblical passages about Enoch, Elijah, the Apostle John, the Mount of Transfiguration, and a mysterious verse in Ephesians on how Christ's followers are seated in "heavenly places," along with theories of time travel by Albert Einstein, Nikola Tesla, and others, The Trump Code connects the pieces of this riveting puzzle, posing the question of whether "truth is stranger than fiction," as Mark Twain famously said.
    
    As we peel back the layers of history, The Trump Code confronts questions that defy easy answers:
    Could this fictional novel hold clues to the upcoming 2024 presidential election, with all its division and chaos?
    
    Is there a divine hand guiding the course of human events, as suggested by the parallels in these novels between fiction and reality?
    
    Or are we witnessing the machinations of darker forces, hinted at by the curious numerology surrounding Lockwood's name?

    Before you can do what’s right, you have to see what’s right.When it comes to racial reconciliation, we often ask, “Where do we go from here?” But has it ever occurred to you that the real question is “Why are we still here?” In other words, until we’ve seen the problem of racism correctly—its history, its current effects, and its root causes—we aren’t equipped to head in the right direction. We’ll just keep falling into the same old patterns. The blind will lead the blind, and no one will have the vision to foster real change.But take hope! Restoring our spiritual sight is exactly what Jesus came to achieve.In this book, Josh Clemons and Hazen Stevens—one white, one black, and both brothers in Christ—will invite you to start the journey toward racial reconciliation and justice. Join us as we:Know the story of racism in the West, the church’s complicity in it, and how that story impacts each of usOwn our own contributory roles in the present and historic sin of racismChange the story by getting involved with the laborious—yet glorious!—work of racial reconciliation and justice 
    In Know. Own. Change., the authors set aside the world’s patterns of division and hate. Instead, they set a tone that emerges from spiritual kinship in Christ. Every page seeks to honor Him, pointing believers back to Jesus as the one who is reconciling all things to himself.

    This audiobook narrated by Katherine Fenton reveals how the new conspiracists are undermining democracy—and explains what can be done about it
    
    Conspiracy theories are as old as politics. But conspiracists today have introduced something new—conspiracy without theory. And the new conspiracism has moved from the fringes to the heart of government with the election of Donald Trump. In A Lot of People Are Saying, Russell Muirhead and Nancy Rosenblum show how the new conspiracism differs from classic conspiracy theory, why so few officials speak truth to conspiracy, and what needs to be done to resist it.
    
    Classic conspiracy theory insists that things are not what they seem and gathers evidence—especially facts ominously withheld by official sources—to tease out secret machinations. The new conspiracism is different. There is no demand for evidence, no dots revealed to form a pattern, no close examination of shadowy plotters. Dispensing with the burden of explanation, the new conspiracism imposes its own reality through repetition (exemplified by the Trump catchphrase "a lot of people are saying") and bare assertion ("rigged!").
    
    The new conspiracism targets democratic foundations—political parties and knowledge-producing institutions. It makes it more difficult to argue, persuade, negotiate, compromise, and even to disagree. Ultimately, it delegitimates democracy.
    
    Filled with vivid examples, A Lot of People Are Saying diagnoses a defining and disorienting feature of today's politics and offers a guide to responding to the threat.

    How a German submarine sank a Canadian military hospital ship during the First World War and sparked outrage. 
     
     
     
    On the evening of June 27, 1918, the Llandovery Castle—an unarmed, clearly marked hospital ship used by the Canadian military—was torpedoed off the Irish Coast by U-Boat 86, a German submarine. 
     
     
     
    Sinking hospital ships violated international law. To conceal his actions, the U-86 commander had the submarine deck guns fire on survivors. One lifeboat escaped with witnesses to the atrocity. Global outrage over the attack ensued. 
     
     
     
    The sinking of the Llandovery Castle was adjudicated at the Leipzig War Crimes Trials, an attempt to establish justice after hostilities ceased. The Llandovery Castle case resulted in a historic legal precedent that guided subsequent war crime prosecutions, including the Nuremberg Trials. 
     
     
     
    Atrocity on the Atlantic explores the Llandovery Castle sinking, the people impacted by the attack, and the reasons why this wartime atrocity was largely forgotten.

    We are all familiar with the fact that man in former days 
    readily believed in the existence of an unseen world, a world 
    of ghosts, demons, nature-spirits which were worshipped as gods, 
    and a host of other supernatural beings. This world lay all about him 
    and in some respects was more real to him than the physical world. 
    It was his belief in it, and in the power of the forces it contained, that 
    gave birth first to primitive magic and later to religion. 
     
    Even today, vast numbers of people all over the world, and not 
    merely among savage tribes or backward peasantry, but in 
    advanced and educated communities, particularly in Asia, still 
    believe in this mysterious realm and in various classes of beings 
    that inhabit it, to an extent that would surprise most Westerners 
    apart from those who have made a study of the subject. To the 
    Asian mind it is equally surprising that Westerners, with the 
    exception of spiritualists, are sceptical regarding it.

    A complete history of naval combat in the Mediterranean and North African campaigns throughout WWII. 
     
    In the early summer of 1940, the Kingdom of Italy joined with Nazi Germany by challenging Britain for dominance in the Mediterranean region. With France on the verge of collapse and Britain facing imminent invasion, the Italians seized upon a rare opportunity to re-establish control. Heavily outnumbered, the British Mediterranean Fleet and its ground and air forces braced for a long and bloody conflict. Blue Water War tells the story of this epic struggle.  
     
    The fighting across the Mediterranean and Middle East was waged at differing times against the combined forces of Italy, Germany and Vichy France over a wide area stretching from the coastal waters of Southern Europe to Madagascar and from Africa’s Atlantic coast to the Persian Gulf.  
     
    Utilizing a variety of weapons including warships, submarines, and aircraft along with sizable merchant fleets, the British and their subsequent American partners maintained vital lines of communication, conducted numerous amphibious landings, interdicted Axis supply activities and eventually eliminated Axis maritime power within the theater. In turn, these actions facilitated multiple Allied victories that helped secure the defeat of the European Axis.
