Sinossi

"Five Senses" explores the fascinating world of sensory perception, revealing how sight, sound, touch, taste, and smell shape our understanding of reality. This book delves into the biological mechanisms and psychological processes behind how we perceive the world and how these senses protect us from danger. For instance, our senses aren't just passive receivers of information; they actively interpret stimuli based on past experiences, making us susceptible to sensory illusions. The book traces the evolution of our understanding of the senses, from philosophical inquiries to modern neuroscience, emphasizing the brain's active role in shaping our perceptions.

 
Each sense is explored in detail, starting with an overview of sensory perception and then diving into the anatomy, physiology, and neural pathways of each sense. Sight explores the eye and visual cortex, while sound investigates the mechanics of hearing. Touch delves into pressure, temperature, and pain, and taste and smell reveal how they create flavor and link to memory and emotion. This approach integrates biological and psychological dimensions, highlighting the adaptive functions of our senses and their vulnerability to distortion.

    Are robots taking away our jobs? Those who ask this question have misunderstood digitalisation - it is not an industrial revolution by other means. Sabine Pfeiffer searches for the actual novelties brought about by digitalisation and digital capitalism. In her analysis, she juxtaposes Marx's concept of productive force with the idea of distributive force. From the platform economy to artificial intelligence, Pfeiffer shows that digital capitalism is less about the efficient production of value, but rather about its fast, risk-free, and permanently secured realisation on the markets. The examination of this dynamic and its consequences also leads to the question of how destructive the distributive forces of digital capitalism might be.

    Renowned by law enforcement and clinical mental health experts nationwide, Delete Me: D.S.M. 7 Steps to Social Media Abstinence, was formerly only circulated through DRUGFR33.ORG.  
    Swipe left. It's time to delete the social media disease. There are currently no specialized treatments for social media addiction and anxiety type conditions attributed to social media usage. Whereas most "remedies" for social media abuse call for "vacations", "breaks", and "parental surveillance" from the applications, Delete Me refutes these methods as ineffective. Fortune 500 IT consultant & engineer turned clinical mental health researcher & crisis intervention counselor, J.A. Thomas insists that we’re far better off abstaining from the applications altogether. J.A. Thomas, MSW, who is one of a growing army of industry experts going offline, offers powerful and personal reasons for all of us to abandon these treacherous online platforms. J.A. Thomas left a lucrative career in Big Tech in pursuit of investigating online crime with law enforcement. Now a critical crisis intervention counselor, Thomas hopes to foster transparent public health information surrounding the dangers of social media usage and its links to severe mental health conditions and the illicit online sex & drug trades. The methodologies introduced in D.S.M. 7 insist in total abstinence from all social media applications as key to driving us towards richer and more meaningful ways of living by connecting us back to the world beyond the tiny blue screen. 
    "Educational, engaging and life saving! J.A.Thomas sounds the alarm on the coercive and destructive force that is big social. This book will help you change your life for the better and allow you to proudly proclaim ... I'm offline." 
    -Dr. J. S. Kastendiek | M.D. Clinical Psychiatry 
    "This deserves the attention of all parents."
