Sinopse

Public Misinformation examines the pervasive impact of false information, especially concerning public health, in our digitally driven world. It explores how misinformation spreads online, influencing choices about vaccines and treatments, and eroding trust in science. The book uniquely presents this information in a way that's accessible to a broad audience, even without prior specialized knowledge, making it valuable for healthcare professionals, policymakers, and anyone seeking to understand this complex issue.

 
The book delves into the creation and dissemination of health-related misinformation, along with the psychological and sociological factors that make people susceptible. For example, confirmation bias can lead individuals to readily accept information that aligns with their existing beliefs, regardless of its accuracy. Understanding these dynamics is crucial for combating the harmful effects of misinformation campaigns.

 
The book begins by defining key concepts and then progresses through case studies, analysis of psychological mechanisms, and proposed mitigation strategies. It draws from diverse sources, including empirical studies and social media analytics, to provide a comprehensive understanding of the misinformation ecosystem and offers practical guidance for evaluating sources and promoting media literacy.

    How the Paranormal Affects...

    My career was being trained as and working as an Engineer mostly for Fortune 100 companies. 
    In parallel with that I’ve also been working on spiritual enlightenment and developing my paranormal abilities for the last fifty years. 
    This unusual combination of skills has led me to my passion of writing about the paranormal and many “out of the box” concepts and topics. I’ve actually written twelve books about the paranormal based on my experiences and research into these topics. 
    One topic which has always fascinated me has been how many paranormal experiences are usually interpreted by mental health professionals as delusional and mentally ill behaviors. 
    My thinking is that most people have spiritual and paranormal abilities and these cause experiences which can overwhelm some people to make them fit the diagnosis of them having mental illnesses. 
    Certainly there are a lot of legitimate mental illnesses which cause the need for treatments by mental health professionals. 
    But what happens when persons having these experiences may be normal and stable in their other behaviors but these experiences are so far beyond the norms of society that others think they are “crazy” and therefore treat them as such? 
    I’ve heard and read a number of stories over the years where I wonder if they were real experiences which might have just caused the person who lived them to have a nervous breakdown. 
    This book is my effort to help people understand the interfaces of real paranormal experiences and mental illness and how to tell which is which. 
    Also, what additional therapies can be used to help people who may be overwhelmed by these experiences?

    Mr Horniman's Walrus - Legacies...

    Mr Horniman's Walrus tells the story of the rise and fall of three generations of a remarkable and dysfunctional Victorian family - the Hornimans - exploring the lives and loves behind their extraordinary and varied legacies. 
     
    Family patriarch John Horniman established the tea company that bore his name in 1826, which went on to become one of the best-known brands of nineteenth-century Britain. His son Frederick created the eclectic and wonderful Horniman Museum in London, and his granddaughter Annie was a theatrical impresario responsible for founding Ireland's national theatre, the Abbey. Across more than a century, the family embodied changing middle-class attitudes from patriarchy to the new spirit of modernity; and their progress mirrored the high point of Victorian entrepreneurialism and the changes ushered in by the Edwardian age. 
     
    Drawing on her years of research and unfettered access to the family archive, Clare Paterson has written a riveting tale of trade, collecting, the stage, sex and politics in Victorian Britain. For the first time, Mr Horniman's Walrus unpicks the lives of this fascinating family, including their slips from grace as well as their astounding achievements. It's a story of capital and culture, philanthropy and empire, but also bankruptcy, betrayal, intrigue, lunacy and deep involvement in the esoterica of the occult.

    Following in the footsteps of the highly successful Queer: A Graphic History, illustrator Jules Scheele teams up with Dr Laura Locker in this comic-book introduction to the political history of the Land of Opportunity.
    
    How did
    
    a political outsider like Trump win the 2016 presidential election? Why do some
    
    Americans feel so strongly about gun rights? Is there a role for more than two
    
    political parties in the system?
    
    Politics
    
    isn't something that just occurs in the West Wing or the gleaming Capitol
    
    building – it comes from the interaction between state and society, the
    
    American people living their daily lives. In this unique graphic guide, we
    
    follow modern citizens as they explore everything from the United States'
    
    political culture, the Constitution and the balance of power, to social
    
    movements, the role of the media, and tensions over race, immigration, and LGBT
    
    rights.
    
    Step
    
    right up, and see what lies beneath the pageantry and headlines of this great
    
    nation.
