Summary

“Permanent record by Edward Snowden is his memoir of the dilemma he faced when he came across a violation of privacy at the hands of NSA while working as a CIA officer. The book was The Sunday Times Top Ten Bestseller.
Snowden had leaked several confidential documents to the press back in 2013, and an international debate had ensued regarding protecting and respecting the privacy of the citizens. He again made headlines in September 2019 with the release of his memoir, where he describes the back-story of the event that led him to finally take the bold step and risk everything to ensure the injustice at the hands of those tasked with prevailing justice, came to light.”

    Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, has been gaining ground in popular self-help literature. A quick online search brings up several titles. Jason Satterfield's book Cognitive Behavioral Therapy: Techniques for Retraining Your Brain is a comprehensive course study of the therapy. It is a part of the Great Courses series of books and audiobooks. Over the span of twenty-four lectures, the author covers a range of topics, including the history of CBT, how CBT compares to other forms of therapy, and how CBT can be used for growth and improvement in different areas of life. The central question of the book asks what can we change and what can we not change. Once we have determined that, we can respond to circumstances in a way that improves our quality of life. The author's stated goals for the course are to present the science of how we change and then give the reader a toolbox of strategies we can apply to our own lives. He believes that we can become our own therapist by using cognitive behavioral therapy or CBT.

    Embezzlement and High Treason...

    A look at life in the court of King Louis XIV, the politics of the time, and the trial of a man who knew too much for his own good. 
     
    From 1661 to 1664, France was mesmerized by the arrest and trial of Nicolas Fouquet, the country’s superintendent of finance. Prosecuted on trumped-up charges of embezzlement, mismanagement of funds, and high treason, Fouquet managed to exonerate himself from all the major charges over the course of three long years, in the process embarrassing and infuriating Louis XIV. The young king overturned the court’s decision and sentenced Fouquet to lifelong imprisonment in a remote fortress in the Alps. 
     
    A dramatic critique of absolute monarchy in pre-revolutionary France, Embezzlement and High Treason in Louis XIV’s France tells the gripping tale of an overly ambitious man who rose rapidly in the state hierarchy—then overreached. Vincent J. Pitts uses the trial as a lens through which to explore the inner workings of the court of Louis XIV, who rightly feared that Fouquet would expose the tawdry financial dealings of the king’s late mentor and prime minister, Cardinal Mazarin. 
     
    “A compelling account of a political drama in mid-seventeenth century France, but it is also a window into the process by which rule of law gradually became established . . . [and] I thoroughly enjoyed reading it.” —EH.Net 
     
    “Pitts’s book examines the show trial of Fouquet, and…the political process that created such an unfair outcome for a man who is often seen as one of the most well-known scapegoats in French history. Pitts has succeeded masterfully in weaving a powerful narrative that exposes convoluted corruption and mismanagement of ancient régime France.” —Renaissance Quarterly

    “An animated introduction to the neuroscience of sensory perception” informed by the latest research on topics from music to brain injuries to synesthesia (Kirkus Reviews). 
     
    In recent years neuroscience has uncovered a wealth of new information about our senses and how they serve as our gateway to the world. This splendidly accessible book explores the most intriguing findings of this research. With infectious enthusiasm, Rob DeSalle illuminates not only how we see, hear, smell, touch, taste, maintain balance, feel pain, and rely on other less familiar senses, but also how these senses shape our perception of the world aesthetically, artistically, and musically. 
     
    DeSalle first examines the question of how perception and consciousness are formed in the brain, setting human senses in an evolutionary context. He then investigates such varied themes as supersenses and diminished senses, synesthesia and other cross-sensory phenomena, hemispheric specialization, diseases, anomalies induced by brain injuries, and hallucinations. Focusing on what is revealed about our senses through the extraordinary, he provides unparalleled insights into the unique wonders of the human brain. 
     
    “In the laboratory sensory science is serious business. But in the capable hands of Rob DeSalle it becomes fun and compelling for the general reader, and is made all the more accessible by Patricia Wynne’s delightful illustrations.” —Ian Tattersall, author of The Strange Case of the Rickety Cossack and Other Cautionary Tales from Human Evolution
