Sinossi

Laughter Science explores the science behind laughter, revealing its profound effects on our brains, bodies, and social lives. The book investigates the neurobiology of laughter, highlighting how it triggers the release of endorphins, leading to stress reduction and improved mood. It also delves into humor psychology, examining how our brains process and appreciate different forms of humor. Furthermore, it emphasizes the role of laughter in fostering social connections and enhancing psychological resilience. This interdisciplinary approach integrates findings from neuroscience, psychology, sociology, and anthropology to provide a comprehensive understanding of laughter. The book progresses logically, beginning with the biological mechanisms of laughter, then moving to its psychological benefits, and finally exploring its anthropological and sociological dimensions. By presenting complex concepts in an accessible manner with real-world examples, Laughter Science offers valuable insights into human behavior and social dynamics, making it a compelling read for anyone interested in the science of well-being.

Enemy of the People - How Jacob...

Adriaan Basson, Pieter Du Toit

He swore to serve the people, but Jacob Zuma robbed us blind.
This is the first definitive account of Zuma’s catastrophic misrule, offering eyewitness descriptions and cogent analysis of how South Africa was brought to its knees – and how the people fought back.
When Jacob Zuma took power of the ANC in December 2007, he inherited a country whose economy was growing and a party that had the support of two-thirds of the electorate. Today, South Africa is caught in the grip of state capture, the economy is moribund and a divided ANC is staring down the barrel of defeat at the 2019 elections. How did we get here?
Zuma ruthlessly brought his party to heel, subduing and isolating his political opponents. Then he built a patronage network of family, friends and business associates – powerful, corruptible political tenderpreneurs – who stopped at nothing to take control of state institutions and enterprises. State capture became Zuma’s brand – a maze of corruption so far-reaching that it has replaced many parts of government, causing irreparable damage to institutions, state enterprises, and the ANC itself.
But it hasn’t all gone Zuma’s way. In a new era of activism, former political allies, public-minded civil servants, the media and the people have stepped forward to join the anti-Zuma groundswell. In the courts, too, the pressure has mounted against a bad president, who has become an enemy of the people.
As a deeply divided ANC squares off for the party’s conference in December, journalists Adriaan Basson and Pieter du Toit offer an insightful, up-to-the-minute account of the Zuma era.
