Three Contributions to the Theory of Sex

Sigmund Freud

Sinopse

In "Three Contributions to the Theory of Sex," Sigmund Freud presents a groundbreaking exploration of human sexuality, which he deftly weaves into his broader psychoanalytic theories. This seminal work delves into the complexities of sexual identity, desire, and the developmental stages of human sexuality, challenging prevailing notions of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Freud's literary style is both rigorous and provocative, employing a combination of clinical case studies, theoretical discourse, and philosophical musings, all while grounding his arguments in the emerging field of psychoanalysis. The book stands as a pivotal moment in the literary context of sexual discourse and the psychology of the human mind, reshaping societal views on sexuality and its implications for mental health. Sigmund Freud, the father of psychoanalysis, was profoundly influenced by the cultural and intellectual milieu of his time, marked by rapid advances in science, philosophy, and the arts. His clinical practice, coupled with his own introspective examinations, prompted a re-evaluation of the role of sex in human behavior and identity. Struggling against societal taboos, Freud's inquiry into sexuality reveals the intricate interplay between the unconscious mind and social norms, driving his desire to shed light on the often-ignored aspects of human experience. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in the foundations of psychoanalytic thought and the evolution of sexual theory. Freud's insights remain relevant today, offering profound understandings that resonate within contemporary debates on sexuality, identity, and mental health. Readers will find themselves challenged and enriched as they engage with Freud's compelling arguments and pioneering perspective.

Bigfoot Mysteries & Some Answers

Martin K. Ettington

There are thousands of reports of Bigfoot in North America and other sites around the world. These sightings include videos, pictures, and the stories of witnesses. 
I’ve researched and written about many types of cryptids and the reports of Bigfoot sightings are orders of magnitudes greater than any other cryptid sightings. These witnesses definitely saw something which is not human but bipedal. 
The questions to me which need answering are ones like: 
·        How could so many Bigfoots exist in North America but the sightings are still pretty rare? 
·        Why haven’t any Bigfoot skeletons been discovered? 
·        Where do they live at and what do they eat? 
·        Do they have any supranormal abilities? 
·        Is Bigfoot an interdimensional being? 
 We will try to answer some of the questions in this book and propose some out of the box possibilities too. 
 There is a lot of Bigfoot information in this book so I hope you enjoy reading this compilation about Bigfoot.

Gender Explained - A New...

PhD Diane Ehrensaft, PsyD...

A Finalist for the 2025 Lambda Literary Award for LGBTQ+ Nonfiction 
 
Gender is everywhere. Politicians argue over it, educational systems struggle to define it, and our friends, neighbors, and children explore it. More than ever before, young people are questioning their gender identities and redefining the role of gender in their lives. How should our society―and we as individuals (parents, teachers, friends)―respond? 
 
In Gender Explained, Diane Ehrensaft, PhD, and Michelle Jurkiewicz, PsyD, separate medical fact from fear-mongering falsehoods and answer these questions: What should parents do when their child starts experiencing gender dysphoria? Which sports teams should transgender youth play on? How should schools teach young people about gender? And most important: What is gender-affirming care, and when should an individual have access to it? 
 
With clear, expert guidance, this book is a safeguard against political vitriol, and it offers urgent protection for those among us who are transgender and/or nonbinary. Far more than an introduction to gender creativity, it is an invitation to develop compassion for everyone along the gender continuum.
