  The American Judicial System - A...

  At some point, everyone living in the US has some type of interaction with the American judicial system. For most, this contact is relatively minor: contesting a traffic ticket, suing or being sued in civil court, being a witness in a civil or criminal trial, or serving on a jury. Others are caught up in the criminal justice system—as defendants, as victims, as witnesses, as jurors, or as relatives of a victim or a defendant. For still others, contact comes via an important policy issue affecting their lives in the hands of judges and justices sitting in judgment in marble temples to the law. Yet whatever the level of contact, the American judicial system affects peoples' lives. What courts and judges do matters. 
   
   
   
  This book provides a very short, but complete introduction to the institutions and people, the rules and processes, that make up the American judicial system. This Very Short Introduction explains the 'where,' 'when,' and 'who' of American courts. It also makes clear the 'how' and 'why' behind the law as it affects everyday people. It is, in a word, a starting place to understanding the third branch of American government at both the state and federal levels; a guide to those wishing to know the basics of the American judicial system; and a cogent synthesis of how the various elements that make up the law and legal institutions fit together.

  Foolproof - Why Misinformation...

  From fake news to conspiracy theories, from inflammatory memes to misleading headlines, misinformation has swiftly become the defining problem of our era. The crisis threatens the integrity of our democracies, our ability to cultivate trusting relationships, even our physical and psychological well-being—yet most attempts to combat it have proven insufficient. 
   
   
   
  With remarkable clarity, Sander van der Linden explains why our brains are so vulnerable to misinformation. Like a virus, misinformation infects our minds, exploiting shortcuts in how we see and process information to alter our beliefs, modify our memories, and replicate at astonishing rates. Once the virus takes hold, it's very hard to cure. 
   
   
   
  But we aren't helpless. As van der Linden shows based on award-winning original research, we can cultivate immunity through the innovative science of "prebunking": inoculating people against false information by preemptively exposing them to a weakened dose, thus empowering them to identify and fend off its manipulative tactics. Deconstructing the characteristic techniques of conspiracies and misinformation, van der Linden gives listeners practical tools to defend themselves and others against nefarious persuasion—whether at scale or around their own dinner table.

  Genghis Khan by Hitori-Nakamoto 
  In the expansive landscape of human history, few figures loom as large as Genghis Khan. His name conjures up deeply polarized images - brutal warrior, visionary leader, ruthless conqueror, and inspired empire-builder. By charting his early life and improbable rise to power, this book aims to provide insight into the experiences that forged this polarizing, larger-than-life figure.  
    
  Rising from obscurity on the harsh Mongolian steppe, Genghis Khan would establish the largest contiguous land empire the world had ever seen. At its peak, this empire stretched from Eastern Europe to the Sea of Japan, encompassing illustrious cities like Beijing, Kabul and Baghdad within its realm. His vision of empire, his mastery of cavalry warfare, and his skill at uniting fractious nomads under his banner transformed medieval Eurasia forever. 
    
  To comprehend the genesis of this world-changing figure, we must explore his early life and the tribulations that steeled his unyielding ambition. Born as Temüjin around 1162 CE into an atmosphere of tribal warfare, betrayal and blood feuds, his childhood was dramatically reshaped by the poisoning death of his father, leaving his family abandoned and destitute. As explored in Chapter 1, these experiences of loss and humiliation fostered in Temüjin a dream of uniting the perpetually warring Mongols into a single people.

  Dark Psychology - Exploring...

  Dark Psychology: Exploring Manipulation, Persuasion, and Influence Tactics provides a deep dive into the often-hidden world of psychological manipulation. In our everyday lives, we encounter numerous forces attempting to shape our thoughts, decisions, and behaviors—sometimes without even realizing it. Whether it’s the subtle pressures of advertising, the persuasive tactics used in politics, or the manipulative behaviors in personal relationships, we are constantly influenced by those who seek to control or sway us. 
    
  At the core of dark psychology lies the study of these influence tactics. It is the exploration of how individuals or groups can manipulate others, often for their own gain, by exploiting the psychological vulnerabilities that we all possess. From the most subtle forms of persuasion to more overt methods of coercion, dark psychology encompasses the tools, strategies, and personalities behind these manipulative behaviors. 
    
  The term "dark psychology" refers to a set of techniques designed to influence or manipulate others, often for selfish or harmful purposes. These methods can be seen in many contexts—whether used by con artists, politicians, marketers, or individuals within personal relationships. Understanding dark psychology is not about becoming a manipulator; rather, it’s about equipping oneself with the knowledge to recognize when others are attempting to manipulate or persuade us in ways that may not be in our best interests. It’s about gaining awareness and taking control of how we are influenced by others.
