  • The Language of Climate Politics - Fossil-Fuel Propaganda and How to Fight It - cover

    The Language of Climate Politics...

    In an illuminating analysis, Dr. Genevieve Guenther shows that the climate debate is not, in fact, neatly polarized, with Republicans obstructing climate action and Democrats advancing climate solutions. Partisans on the right and the left often repeat the same fossil-fuel talking points, and this repetition produces a centrist consensus upholding the status quo, even as global heating accelerates. 
     
     
     
    Weaving this analysis through fascinating critical histories of the terms that dominate the language of climate politics—the words we, alarmist, cost, growth, "India and China," innovation, and resilience—Dr. Guenther shows how this consensus is established. Fossil-fuel interests weaponize the discourses of science, economics, and activism, co-opting and twisting climate language to help greenwash their plans for ongoing extraction. But all too often climate scientists, economists, and even advocates will unwittingly echo the false and dangerous assumptions of their supposed political opponents. This apparent agreement between foes, filtered through the news media, not only influences our commonsense yet mistaken views about the climate crisis but also enables powerful decisionmakers to justify the corporate and policy actions that threaten us all. Revealing this dynamic, Guenther shows how to transform it.

    Dark Psychology - The Dark Side...

    Gender does influence persuasion, largely due to the emotional and intellectual differences between men and women. It is often believed that the direct, straightforward approach typically associated with men is more effective in persuasion than the emotionally nuanced methods often attributed to women. 
      
    One of the key differences between men and women is that men are primarily visually stimulated. This trait, while sometimes criticized as shallow, is rooted in our DNA and evolution. Historically, men were driven to seek healthy partners for reproduction, as visual cues were the primary way to assess health before the advent of modern medicine. In the days of early human society, a woman of child-bearing age who appeared healthy was naturally attractive to men, as it signaled good prospects for offspring. 
      
    While men are often said to be led by their physical desires, this viewpoint oversimplifies the situation. Men are indeed influenced by what they see, but this is due to their evolutionary programming. Consequently, many men may prioritize physical appearance over other traits such as intelligence or personality, even when these traits might contribute more to a lasting relationship.

    Egyptian Mythology - Legends...

    Egyptian mythology forms the foundation of one of the most influential and enduring civilizations in human history. Rich with symbolism, these myths provided a framework through which the ancient Egyptians understood the universe, nature, and the spiritual world. Unlike other mythologies that may have developed primarily through folklore, Egyptian mythology was closely tied to religious practices and rituals that were integral to the culture. Its stories feature a pantheon of gods and goddesses, each with specific roles, attributes, and symbolic meanings, governing aspects of life, death, nature, and the cosmos. These divine beings were more than just mythological figures; they were living forces present in the daily lives of Egyptians, influencing their actions, decisions, and the very fabric of their society. 
      
    The mythological narratives of Egypt often revolved around cosmic battles between order and chaos, cycles of death and rebirth, and the journey of the soul. These stories were not only entertainment but also served as explanations for natural phenomena, like the yearly flooding of the Nile, the movement of the stars, or the transitions between day and night. Mythology also justified the divine right of the pharaohs, who were considered to be the living embodiments of gods on Earth, specifically the god Horus. By linking mythology with the ruling class, ancient Egyptians reinforced the authority of their leaders and established a divine connection that was essential to their social and political structure. Through sacred texts, temple inscriptions, and monumental architecture, these myths have been preserved, allowing us to glimpse into a world where gods and mortals coexisted in a harmonious balance.

    How to Become Famous - Lost...

    It's hard to imagine our world without its stars and celebrity geniuses—they become a part of our culture and history, seeming permanent and preordained. But as Cass Sunstein shows in this startling book, that is far from the case. Focusing on both famous and forgotten (or simply overlooked) artists and luminaries in music, literature, business, science, politics, and other fields, he explores why some individuals become famous and others don't and offers a new understanding of the role of greatness, luck, and contingency in the achievement of fame. 
     
     
     
    First, Sunstein examines recent research—on informational cascades, power laws, network effects, and group polarization—to probe the question of how people become famous. He explores what ends up in the history books, in the great religious texts, and in the literary canon—and how that changes radically over time. He delves into the rich and entertaining stories of a diverse cast of famous characters, from John Keats, William Blake, and Jane Austen to Bob Dylan, Ayn Rand, and Stan Lee—as well as John, Paul, George, and Ringo. 
     
     
     
    How to Become Famous takes you on a fun, captivating, and at times profound journey that will forever change your perspective on the latest celebrity's "fifteen minutes," the nature of memory, success and failure in business, and our enduring fascination with fame.
