Thomas Walker

Casa editrice: Good Press

Sinossi

In "The Depot for Prisoners of War at Norman Cross, Huntingdonshire. 1796 to 1816," Thomas Walker intricately examines the social, political, and humanitarian contexts surrounding one of Britain's most notable wartime institutions. Through a meticulous blend of historical narrative and qualitative analysis, Walker sheds light on the lives of prisoners, the logistical frameworks of the depot, and the evolving attitudes toward captivity and conflict during the Napoleonic Wars. The work is enriched by its extensive use of primary sources, including letters, government documents, and contemporary accounts, presenting not only a scholarly exploration but also a deeply humanized portrayal of war and its aftermath. Thomas Walker, a distinguished historian with a keen interest in military history and social dynamics, draws upon his academic background and personal passion for uncovering lesser-known historical narratives. His extensive research is underscored by his dedication to illuminating the complexities of wartime experiences, particularly how the infrastructure of war affected individuals and communities alike. Walker's previous works have established him as a leading voice in the discourse surrounding historical memory and the impact of conflict on civilian life. This compelling study is highly recommended for historians, students, and general readers alike who seek to understand the nuances of captivity during the Napoleonic era. Walker's work not only engages with the political structures of the time but also encourages reflection on humanity and compassion in the face of adversity. It is an essential addition to the libraries of those intrigued by military history and the rich tapestry of human experience woven through warfare.

The Moral Circle - Who Matters...

Jeff Sebo

Today, human exceptionalism is the norm. Despite occasional nods to animal welfare, we prioritize humanity, often neglecting the welfare of a vast number of beings. As a result, we use hundreds of billions of vertebrates and trillions of invertebrates every year for a variety of purposes, often unnecessarily. We also plan to use animals, AI systems, and other nonhumans at even higher levels in the future. Yet as the dominant species, humanity has a responsibility to ask: Which nonhumans matter, how much do they matter, and what do we owe them in a world reshaped by human activity and technology? 
 
 
 
In The Moral Circle, philosopher Jeff Sebo challenges us to include all potentially significant beings in our moral community, with transformative implications for our lives and societies. 
 
 
 
This book explores provocative case studies such as lawsuits over captive elephants and debates over factory-farmed insects, and compels us to consider future ethical quandaries, such as whether to send microbes to new planets, and whether to create virtual worlds filled with digital minds. Taking an expansive view of human responsibility, Sebo argues that building a positive future requires the shedding of human exceptionalism and radically rethinking our place in the world.

The Gaslighting of America - How...

michael brooks

In the last decade we have witnessed an unprecedented assault on the American people. Having seemingly appeared out of the ether, it has destroyed industry, family values, marriage, family relations, work ethic, morality, education, health care, independent thought, and the very basis of reality itself- language and the definitions of words. Its reach is all encompassing, with no stone left unturned. The American people are lost in a thick, heavy haze, dazed and confused at the completely alien world around them. How did we get to this point? How did nobody see it coming? Who is responsible? 
“The Gaslighting of America” explores how the elite, the authorities, and the mainstream media have conspired to deceive the American people. Through the use of gaslighting, a psychological manipulation technique, they have created a false reality that serves their own interests, while undermining the very foundations of American society.

Kneading Journalism - Essays on...

Tony Ganzer

“Rope. Tree. Journalist. Some assembly required.” 
By the time a photographer spotted these words on a shirt at a campaign rally for Donald Trump in November 2016, it had long been clear that a growing number of Americans had not-so-subtle reservations about journalists. In an age that some demonize the media as an “enemy of the people,” it’s time for a heart-to-heart about what journalism is, and what it could be. And while we break down the news business, let’s also bake some bread. 
In Kneading Journalism, award-winning international journalist Tony Ganzer provides an insider's view of the Fourth Estate through compelling personal narratives and keen insights. Essays transport the reader from a bread riot before the French Revolution, to the inside of Germany’s public media and bread industries, to the streets of post-revolutionary Cairo, all while exploring the who, what, and why of journalism. 
Kneading Journalism provides readers bite-sized thoughts on journalism and society, and basic bread recipes for any level of baker. 
Before we can break bread, we need to bake bread.

Primatology Ethics and Trauma

Robert Ingersoll, Antonina Anna...

It has been fifty years since the first language experiments on chimpanzees. Robert Ingersoll is well known for being one of the main carers and best friend of the chimpanzee, Nim Chimpsky, but there were other chimpanzees in the University of Oklahoma's Institute for Primate Studies, including Washoe, Moja, Kelly, Booee, and Onan, who were taught sign language in the quest to discover whether language is learned or innate in humans. Antonina Anna Scarnà's expertise in language acquisition and neuroscience offers a vehicle for critical evaluation of those studies. 
 
 
 
Ingersoll and Scarnà investigate how this research failed to address the emotional needs of the animals. It is time to consider the research from a different perspective, examining the neglect and cruelty that was inflicted on those animals in the name of psychological science. This book re-examines those cases, addressing directly the suffering and traumatic experiences endured by the captive chimpanzees, in particular the female chimpanzee, Washoe, and her resultant inability to be a competent mother. 
 
 
 
This book discusses the unethical nature of the studies in the context of recent research on trauma and offers a specific and direct psychological message, proposing to finally close the door on the language side of these chimpanzee studies.

Healing Trauma With Emdr

Jim Colajuta

We all have a natural emotional healing process, just as we do a natural physical healing process within us. When we get a wound, our bodies' natural healing process takes care of it. When emotionally painful events occur in our lives, we usually manage to overcome them and move on with our lives. On the other hand, a cut does not always heal until it has been cleaned and an antibiotic has been applied. Similarly, when something emotionally upsetting occurs, the brain's processing system isn't always able to absorb it and put it into the context of our entire lives without assistance. Sometimes we are completely unaware of what is going on.Although the image of the incident may not come to us consciously, we may feel unworthy, sad, afraid, or nauseous. We may be unaware that we are being swamped with dysfunctionally stored material from the past. We may act in ways we later regret and not wholly comprehend why. The EMDR method recognizes that you aren't reacting on purpose; the triggered memories are at the root of your actions that aren't consistent with who you are now. EMDR can assist the brain's processing system repair emotional wounds in the same way that an antibiotic ointment can help cure a cut. It's still your own internal process conducting the healing; EMDR simply "jump starts" it when it's needed and speeds it up.Once the isolated "land mine" of trauma has been reprocessed using EMDR, it is neutralized, meaning it will no longer go off and flood into the present. It's woven into the fabric of your existence, so it appears to be over and cannot derail you from your current state of bliss.The information appears to be stimulated, and the brain can reprocess the situation due to eye movements or other bilateral stimulation. Eye movements are only a tiny part of EMDR. In processing traumatic memories, current concerns, or future fears, integrates imagery, beliefs, emotions, and physical sensations.
