Synopsis

Thorstein Veblen's "The Engineers and the Price System" presents an incisive critique of the capitalist economic structure, highlighting the conflicting roles of engineers and industrialists. Through a combination of rigorous economic analysis and a unique sociological perspective, Veblen employs a distinctively analytical literary style to explore how the priorities of engineers, who emphasize efficiency and innovation, clash with the profit-driven motives of the market system. This tension reveals broader implications for modern industry and reflects Veblen's concerns regarding the detrimental impact of predatory capitalism on technological advancement and societal welfare. Veblen, a pioneering figure in the field of institutional economics, was profoundly influenced by his observations of industrial society at the turn of the 20th century. His background in sociology and economics allowed him to dissect the intricacies of social behavior and economic practices, providing valuable insights into the motivations that drive both engineers and capitalists. Veblen's earlier works, such as "The Theory of the Leisure Class," set the stage for this profound exploration of the intersections between technology, engineering, and economic systems. This book is highly recommended for readers interested in economic theory, sociology, and the ongoing dialogue surrounding technological progress in a capitalist society. Veblen's thought-provoking arguments urge readers to reconsider the alignment of technological capabilities with market demands, making "The Engineers and the Price System" an essential read for anyone looking to grasp the complexities of modern industrial life.

    In Jojo Moyes's "The Giver of Stars," Alice Van Cleve, a young Englishwoman, finds herself in rural Kentucky after marrying an American. Feeling suffocated by her new life, she joins a group of remarkable women who deliver books to remote mountain communities as part of the Packhorse Library project. Led by the independent and enigmatic Margery O'Hare, these women face challenges from treacherous terrain and social prejudices, all while bringing knowledge and hope to those they serve. As they navigate these hardships, they form a strong bond of sisterhood, challenging societal norms and finding strength in their shared purpose. However, their mission is threatened when Margery is accused of a crime, forcing the community to confront their own biases and uncover the truth.

    Who is this hypnosis for:- If you have difficulty falling asleep- or you wake up frequently over the night- or your sleep is simply not restful enough- or you can sleep only with medication and would like a more natural solution… this hypnosis will help.This hypnosis is an easy, gentle way to prepare for falling asleep. At the same time, it will help you experience a deep, restful, regenerating sleep.How it works:So many of us are affected these days by sleeping troubles.Unfortunately, this is bound to be: our world is fast, overloaded with information and constantly stimulated by screens. Thus, our brains are overly activated and less acquainted with the state of non-activity.This "monkey mind" is what keeps us away from a good sleep. Over the night, our brains keep on being busy solving problems. Moreover, our bodies cannot have a good, regenerative rest either – did you notice how an agitated mind matches and agitated body?Fortunately, methods based on hypnosis are very effective.While in themselves, they are very relaxing (4 time stronger than sleep), when specific suggestions for taking a break from thoughts and slipping into a profound, regenerative sleep are added, our mind and body finally gets the break it needs.This is what this 28 min hypnosis does.Play it after you have already laid down in bed and found a comfortable position so that you can easily fall asleep during it or after it ends.My recommendation is to use it for 3 days in a row and feel if it works for you. If it does, continue. The more you do it, the easier it will become for you to relax and fall asleep.Disclaimer:The products sold here do not replace medical or psychological therapy. Please take your time when listening to the audio downloads and stop doing anything else that might distract you, e.g., don't use them while working or driving a car.ENJOY!Yours Dr. Nidal MoughrabiLife-Coach, MDHypnotherapy, NLP and Meditation Training

    The first edition of the 'small ADHD consultation', published in 2014, was originally created to provide my patients with a quick overview of the broad field of ADHD symptoms in adults as summarised as possible. It was important to me to integrate accompanying disorders and therapeutic options such as medication and coaching strategies. It is not uncommon for the underlying ADHD symptoms to be masked by disorders that develop later (such as obsessive thinking, anxiety, panic attacks and addictions). Only abnormalities in childhood, such as dreaminess or motor restlessness with impulsiveness, allow conclusions to be drawn. Patients and friends were kind enough to embellish this book with their contributions, sketches, pictures and poems. The significantly expanded 3rd edition of the 'Little ADHD Consultation' is due to the increased needs and demands of my patients and the new findings concerning ADHD. New topics such as neurofeedback, medication overview, neurobiological aspects and autistic accompanying phenomena as well as legal aspects and cannabis medication have been included. I wish you many A-HA experiences with this expansion.

    THE FRESH PRINCE OF BEL-AIR 
    THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA AND CURIOUS FACTS COLLECTION 
      
    CREATED BY TRIVIA HUB 
      
    The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air is an American television sitcom created by Andy and Susan Borowitz, airing on NBC from 1990 to 1996. The series stars Will Smith as a fictionalized version of himself, a street-smart teen from West Philadelphia who moves in with his wealthy relatives in Bel-Air. The show humorously explores the clash between Will's working-class background and his relatives' upper-class lifestyle. The sitcom was a top hit for NBC, running for 148 episodes over six seasons, and is considered to be a watershed moment for hip-hop and Black television. The series led to a reunion special and a dramatic reboot titled Bel-Air. 
      
    CURIOUS FACT SAMPLES: 
      
    The show's premise was based on the life of Benny Medina, who grew up poor but then lived with a wealthy family, but the show changed the family to a rich Black family so it could explore black-on-black prejudice and class differences. The series was created by Andy and Susan Borowitz, and they based the cousins on Quincy Jones' daughters.  
      
    Will Smith, who was known as one half of the hip-hop duo DJ Jazzy Jeff & the Fresh Prince, was in debt due to unpaid taxes when he was offered a role in the show. He met Benny Medina by chance and then auditioned for NBC chief Brandon Tartikoff on the spot, securing a contract that night in a limo.  
      
    The pilot episode was written and taped in about three weeks. The show's theme song, "Yo Home to Bel Air," was written and performed by Will Smith under his stage name, with music composed by Quincy Jones.
