Americans are in the midst of a world-historic drug binge. Opiates, amphetamines, benzodiazepines, marijuana, antidepressants, antipsychotics—across the board, consumption has shot up in the twenty-first century. At the same time, the United States is home to the largest prison system in the world, justified in part by a now zombified "war" on drugs. How did we get here? Quick Fixes is a look at American society through the lens of its pharmacological crutches. Though particularly acute in recent decades, the contradiction between America's passionate love and intense hatred for drugs has been one of its defining characteristics for over a century. Through nine chapters, each devoted to the modern history of a drug or class of drugs, Fong examines Americans' fraught relationship with psychoactive substances. As society changes it produces different forms of stress, isolation, and alienation. These changes, in turn, shape the sorts of drugs society chooses. By laying out the histories, functions, and experiences of our chemical comforts, the hope is to help answer that ever perplexing question: what does it mean to be an American?Mostra libro

We like to believe we're moving closer to equality, riding the wave of technological progress into a brighter, fairer future. But beneath the glossy surface of innovation lies a chilling truth: new technologies are not just failing to solve age-old inequalities—they're deepening them. In The New Age of Sexism, acclaimed author and activist Laura Bates exposes how misogyny is being coded into the very fabric of our future. From the biases embedded in artificial intelligence to the alarming rise of sex robots and the toxic dynamics of the metaverse, Bates takes listeners on a shocking journey into a world where technology is weaponized against women. This isn't a dystopian warning about what might happen. It's a harrowing account of what's happening now and the dangers we face if we don't act. With clarity and urgency, Bates reveals how these advancements are dragging society backward, reinforcing harmful stereotypes, and jeopardizing decades of progress in the fight for gender equality. Eye-opening and empowering, The New Age of Sexism is a rallying cry for awareness and action in a world where the battle for equality has entered a dangerous new frontier.Mostra libro

This bundle of books provides a deep dive into the foundational principles of optical physics, optics, and electromagnetic theory. Optics studies the behavior and properties of light, including reflection, refraction, diffraction, and dispersion. It explores how light interacts with matter, enabling applications in everything from microscopes to lasers. Optical physics also includes the study of various optical devices, including lenses, mirrors, and optical fibers, which play essential roles in communication and imaging technologies. At the core of these studies lies the relationship between light waves and electromagnetic fields, explaining phenomena such as polarization and interference. In addition to optics, this book delves into electromagnetic theory, which describes how electric and magnetic fields interact to propagate energy through space in the form of electromagnetic waves. These waves, including light, radio waves, and X-rays, are essential to technologies like wireless communication, radar, and medical imaging. The integration of optics with electromagnetic theory allows for a deeper understanding of how light and other electromagnetic waves can be manipulated, harnessed, and utilized in cutting-edge applications. This text serves as a comprehensive guide to the behavior of light and fields, addressing both theoretical and practical aspects that shape modern science and technology.Mostra libro
ECPA Top Shelf Book Cover Award A Christian case for natural burial The promises of the Christian gospel are never more precious or more beautiful than in the context of death and burial. And yet current burial practices in Western society are archaic and impersonal. They fail to confront us with the reality of death, and they make it harder to process death or to grieve properly. Kent Burreson and Beth Hoeltke have been teaching a Christian understanding of death and natural burial for many years. They argue that natural burial—laying the body into the earth in a way that allows it to decompose naturally—is not only better for the environment but is also a more accurate picture of Christian hope of the resurrection. Grounded in sound Christian teaching about death and burial, they advocate for natural burial and offer practical instructions for navigating the complex questions around burial practices. Lay Me in God's Good Earth is not only an immensely practical guide to natural burial; it is also an application of the hope of the resurrection to those grieving the loss of their loved ones.Mostra libro
