Sinopse

In "Imperial Germany and the Industrial Revolution," Thorstein Veblen presents a critical analysis of the interplay between industrialization and socio-economic structures in late 19th-century Germany. Veblen's literary style is marked by a keen wit and incisive prose, merging philosophical inquiry with economic theory. He meticulously explores the antecedents of Germany's rapid industrial growth, highlighting the impact of technology and class dynamics. Set within the broader context of the Gilded Age, Veblen's work reflects both historical narratives and forward-looking critiques, illuminating the correlation between industrial development and the cultural ethos of imperialism. Thorstein Veblen, an influential economist and sociologist, emerged from the Progressive Era with a unique perspective shaped by his experiences in both the academic sphere and the socio-economic landscape of his time. His groundbreaking ideas on conspicuous consumption and social stratification inform his critique of the German industrial model. Veblen was particularly interested in how economic frameworks influenced societal behaviors, leading him to dissect the socio-economic implications of industrial advancements. This thought-provoking study is essential for anyone seeking to understand the complexities of industrialization as a force that reshaped society. Veblen's incisive observations challenge readers to consider not merely the economic outcomes of a revolution but also the profound societal changes that accompany such transformations.

    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.

    As King Henry VIII's 2nd marriage partner, Anne Boleyn ruled as Queen of England from 1533 till 1536. Her marriage and execution by beheading for treason and other criminal offenses made her an essential player in the political and religious chaos that identified the start of the English Reformation. Anne was the daughter of Thomas Boleyn, first Earl of Wiltshire, and his marriage partner, Girl Elizabeth Howard. She got her education in Holland and France, mainly as a housemaid of honor to Queen Claude of France. Anne went to England in early 1522, meaning to wed her Irish cousin James Butler, 9th Earl of Ormond; nevertheless, the marriage failed, and she found work as a housemaid of honor to Henry VIII's partner, Catherine of Aragon.Anne was secretly betrothed to Henry Percy, child of Henry Percy, fifth Earl of Northumberland, in early 1523, but their engagement was aborted when the Earl refused to support them. In January 1524, Cardinal Thomas Wolsey opposed the match, and Anne was returned to Hever Castle. Henry VIII started his courtship of Anne in the month of February or March 1526. She withstood his efforts to charm her, declining to follow in her sister Mary's steps and become his girlfriend. Henry quickly focused his exertions on having his marriage to Catherine annulled so that he may wed Anne. Wolsey could not encourage Pope Clement VII to annul Henry's marriage, and Anne played a part in his failure and death in the year 1529-- 30. When it ended up being apparent that Clement wouldn't cancel the marriage, Henry and his therapists, and that includes Thomas Cromwell, started the process of deteriorating the Catholic Church in England by shutting abbeys and nunneries. Henry made Anne the Marquess of Pembroke in the year 1532.There is more, way more, to Anne Boleyn. In this book, we won’t leave you in the dark.
