Sinopse

Precolonial Diplomacy explores the sophisticated political systems of Indigenous nations in the Americas before European contact. Challenging Eurocentric views, the book reveals intricate methods of alliance-building, from kinship-based pacts to formal treaties, and diverse mechanisms for conflict resolution, such as mediation and ritualized warfare. Understanding these pre-Columbian civilizations provides a more accurate depiction of history, highlighting their capacity for governance. The book argues that Indigenous nations possessed adaptable and resilient political systems rooted in a deep understanding of human relationships. For instance, precolonial diplomacy involved complex negotiations and strategies that maintained peace and order across vast territories. Precolonial Diplomacy progresses by first introducing core concepts and terminology, then delving into case studies of specific Indigenous nations in North, Central, and South America, and concludes with a comparative analysis and a discussion of the legacy of precolonial diplomacy.

    Demographic Dividend: Turning Population Growth into Economic Gold offers a comprehensive exploration of one of the most pivotal forces shaping the global economy today—demographic change. This insightful and timely book delves into the concept of the demographic dividend, a period of accelerated economic growth driven by shifts in population structure, particularly when the working-age population outnumbers dependents. Through a blend of theory, real-world case studies, and policy analysis, the book reveals how nations can harness their demographic potential to spur sustainable economic development. 
    Drawing on historical examples and contemporary trends, the book uncovers how demographic transitions—such as the shift from youthful to aging populations—can either be a boon or a burden for economies. It explores key drivers of economic success, such as human capital investment, healthcare improvements, and job creation, while also addressing the challenges posed by aging populations, dependency ratios, and unemployment. 
    This book also explores the regional perspectives of Asia, Africa, and Latin America, highlighting diverse strategies for leveraging demographic changes in different contexts. It emphasizes the role of education, healthcare, and economic policies in unlocking the full potential of a growing or transitioning population. With a forward-thinking approach, it concludes with actionable insights and a call to action for policymakers, economists, and citizens to turn demographic challenges into lasting economic opportunities. 
    Whether you are a policymaker, economist, academic, or simply an engaged citizen, Demographic Dividend: Turning Population Growth into Economic Gold provides the essential tools and knowledge to understand and navigate the complexities of demographic transitions and their transformative impact on economic development.

    Dark Psychology - Mental...

    Why does understanding a psychological risk lead to physical reactions? The answer lies in human anatomy, specifically in the mechanisms behind real pain. Is mental pain comparable to physical pain? How does intense pain manifest? When it comes to physical pain, the process is straightforward. We rarely consider the basic motor reflexes controlled by the spine. 
      
    During physical sensation, a nervous impulse is transmitted through the nerves to the corresponding part of the brain, which then sends a response impulse to an organ. But how does mental pain occur? Our bodies possess a self-regulation function for all physiological processes. In essence, the brain responds to changes in the body's chemical processes. 
      
    It’s likely that emotions cause some form of change in the body, such as in the blood’s composition. This change is then transmitted to the brain, which sends a response impulse to an organ, resulting in real pain. This phenomenon is known as the psychological cause of real pain. 
      
    For example, if you’re afraid of the dark, you might experience discomfort or a choking sensation in your throat. It feels as if something is obstructing your breathing. The fear isn’t of the darkness itself but of what might be lurking within it. This fear is based on information you've gathered throughout your life. A child, for instance, doesn’t fear the dark until they’re told what might be in it. This is what we call conscious fear.

    The sight of suffering does one good, the infliction of suffering does one more good - this is a hard maxim, but none the less a fundamental maxim, old, powerful, and "human, all-too-human".
     
    In this daring and insightful work, Nietzsche lays bare the hypocrisies at the foundations of our ideas of morality. Considering ideas of good and evil, guilt and conscience, and law and violence along the way, On the Genealogy of Morals takes the reader on a journey through the history of value systems in three masterful essays.
     
    His insights are sometimes uncomfortable, sometimes provocative, but always demonstrate the workings of an exceptional mind. Together, this collection of essays makes up one of the most powerful works of modern philosophy that seeks to do nothing less than unravel the mysteries of human nature.

    Though people frequently use mobile technologies for news consumption, evidence from several fields shows that smaller screens and slower connection speeds pose major limitations for meaningful reading. In News and Democratic Citizens in the Mobile Era, Johanna Dunaway and Kathleen Searles demonstrate the effects of mobile devices on news attention, engagement, and recall, and identify a key cognitive mechanism underlying these effects: cognitive effort. They advance a theory that is both old and new: the costs of information-seeking curb participatory behaviors unless the benefits outweigh them. For news consumers in the mobile era, for example, mobile devices increase the time, economic, and cognitive costs associated with information-seeking. Only for a small few do the benefits of attending to the news on mobile devices outweigh the costs. 
     
     
     
    Dunaway and Searles argue that attention, engagement, and recall suffer when people consume news on mobile devices. They then investigate the implications of these effects for the news industry and for an informed democratic citizenry. Drawing on both laboratory and real-world studies, Dunaway and Searles bring the psychophysiology of news consumption to bear on the question of what we could lose in an information environment characterized by a dramatic shift in reliance on mobile devices.
