Sinossi

Brain Forgets Purposefully challenges the conventional view of forgetting as a mere failure of memory, instead presenting it as an active and essential cognitive function. This book explores how the brain intentionally prunes and filters information, optimizing cognitive processes and mental health. Forgetting isn't just the passive decay of memories; it's an active mechanism involving synaptic pruning and memory reconsolidation, allowing us to focus on relevant information and adapt efficiently.

 
The book delves into the neurobiological underpinnings of forgetting, examining brain structures like the prefrontal cortex and their role in eliminating unnecessary data. It highlights how this adaptive forgetting facilitates learning and decision-making by reducing cognitive clutter.

 
Progressing from basic concepts to clinical implications, Brain Forgets Purposefully uses neuroimaging studies and real-world examples to illustrate how disruptions in forgetting mechanisms can contribute to conditions like PTSD, offering new perspectives on therapeutic interventions.

The Buddha's Teachings As...

Mark Siderits

Mark Siderits's The Buddha’s Teachings As Philosophy explores three different systems of thought that arose from core claims of the Buddha. By detailing and critically examining key arguments made by the Buddha and developed by later Buddhist philosophers, Siderits investigates the Buddha's teachings as philosophy: a set of claims—in this case, claims about the nature of the world and our place in it—supported by rational argumentation and, here, developed with a variety of systematic results. The Buddha’s Teachings As Philosophy will be especially useful to students of philosophy, religious studies, and comparative religion—to anyone, in fact, encountering Buddhist philosophy for the first time. Among the issues discussed by Siderits are those regarded as particularly challenging in the 21st century, such as karma and rebirth and the nature of nirvana.

The Art of War

Sun Tzu

"The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting."

Written over two thousand years ago, Sun Tzu's insights remain as sharp and relevant today as they were in ancient China. The Art of War is not merely a book about military maneuvers; it is a profound philosophical study of human nature and the mechanics of conflict. Across thirteen concise chapters, Sun Tzu teaches the importance of intelligence, the value of flexibility, and the necessity of knowing both yourself and your opponent. It is a guide to achieving victory through the path of least resistance, emphasizing that the most successful "warrior" is the one who understands how to outmaneuver the competition before the first blow is even struck.

The Five Essentials for Victory: Sun Tzu identifies five critical factors that determine the outcome of any engagement: The Moral Law (Purpose), Heaven (Timing), Earth (Terrain), Command (Leadership), and Method (Organization). By mastering these variables, a leader can predict the outcome of a conflict with startling accuracy.

Victory Through Deception and Adaptability: "All warfare is based on deception." Sun Tzu argues that a successful strategist must be like water—shapeless, flowing around obstacles, and striking only where the enemy is weak. This focus on psychological warfare and environmental awareness makes the text a masterclass in high-stakes decision-making.

Why It Is a Global Icon: The Art of War has transcended its origins to become a universal manual for survival and success. Whether you are navigating a corporate merger, coaching a sports team, or seeking personal discipline, Sun Tzu's aphorisms provide a framework for clear thinking under pressure. It is the ultimate toolkit for anyone who wishes to turn obstacles into opportunities.

Master the mind of the strategist. Purchase "The Art of War" today.

Means and Ends - The...

Zoe Baker

An expansive and accessible account of anarchism as a theory of practice. 
 
 
 
Means and Ends is a new overview of the revolutionary strategy of anarchism in Europe and the United States between 1868 and 1939. Zoe Baker clearly and accessibly explains the ideas that historical anarchists developed in order to change the world. This includes their views on direct action, revolution, organization, state socialism, reforms, and trade unions. Throughout, she demonstrates that the reasons anarchists gave for supporting or opposing particular strategies were grounded in a theoretical framework—a theory of practice—which maintained that, as people engage in activity, they simultaneously change the world and themselves. This theoretical framework was the foundation for the anarchist commitment to the unity of means and ends: the means that revolutionaries propose to achieve social change have to involve forms of activity which transform people into individuals who are capable of, and driven to, both overthrow capitalism and the state and build a free society. The consistent heart of anarchism was the idea that anarchist ends can only be achieved through anarchist means. Cutting through misconceptions and historical inaccuracies, Baker draws upon a vast assortment of examples to show how this simple premise underpinned anarchist attempts to put theory into action.

Spiritual Criminals - How the...

Michelle M. Nickerson

A surprising look at the 28 Catholic radicals who raided a draft board in 1971—and got away with it. 
 
When the FBI arrested twenty-eight people in connection to a break-in at a Camden, New Jersey, draft board in 1971, the Bureau celebrated. The case should have been an easy victory for the department—the perpetrators had been caught red-handed attempting to destroy conscription documents for draftees into the Vietnam War. But the results of the trial surprised everyone, and in the process shook the foundations of American law, politics, and religion. 
 
In Spiritual Criminals, Michelle M. Nickerson shares a complex portrait of the Camden 28, a passionate group of grassroots religious progressives who resisted both their church and their government as they crusaded against the Vietnam War. Founded by priests, nuns, and devout lay Catholics, members of this coalition accepted the risks of felony convictions as the cost of challenging the nation’s military-industrial complex and exposing the illegal counterintelligence operations of the FBI. By peeling away the layers of political history, theological traditions, and the Camden 28’s personal stories, Nickerson reveals an often-unseen spiritual side of the anti-war movement. At the same time, she probes the fractures within the group, detailing important conflicts over ideology, race, sex, and gender that resonate in the church and on the political Left today.
