Sinopsis

In "Psychology: Briefer Course," William James condenses his groundbreaking ideas from his earlier work, "The Principles of Psychology," offering readers an accessible yet profound exploration of the human mind. This volume represents a crucial synthesis of his thoughts on consciousness, behavior, and emotion, articulating his pragmatist philosophy while employing a clear and engaging literary style. James's reflections on the functional aspects of mental processes reveal the interplay between experience and thought, situating the work within the late 19th-century psychological discourse that bridged empiricism and introspection. William James, often regarded as the father of American psychology, was profoundly influenced by the scientific advances of his time, as well as his philosophical inquiries into the nature of existence. His dual background in philosophy and physiology uniquely shaped his understanding of the mind, allowing him to approach psychology with both a scientific and a humanistic lens. His prior studies and the philosophical environment at Harvard undoubtedly propelled him to distill complex concepts into a more digestible format, appealing to both academic and general audiences. This book is an essential read for anyone interested in the foundations of psychology, offering insights that are as relevant today as they were over a century ago. Readers will gain a valuable perspective on human behavior and thought processes, making it an indispensable resource for students, scholars, and anyone curious about the intricacies of the mind.

    The Showa Era began on December 25, 1926, with the ascension of Emperor Hirohito following the death of his father, Emperor Taisho. This period marked a critical turning point in Japan’s history, as the nation transitioned from the political turbulence of the Taisho democracy to a time of increasing militarism and nationalist sentiment. Although the early years of the Showa Era were characterized by economic struggles and political instability, they also set the stage for Japan’s dramatic expansion and eventual involvement in global conflict. 
    Emperor Hirohito’s rise to the throne was met with both hope and uncertainty. Many saw him as a symbol of continuity and strength, while others were concerned about the growing influence of the military in governmental affairs. Unlike his father, whose reign was defined by a parliamentary democracy, Hirohito’s early years as emperor witnessed the gradual erosion of democratic institutions. The shift toward a more authoritarian government was driven by widespread dissatisfaction with the parliamentary system and the belief that Japan needed strong leadership to navigate domestic and international challenges. 
    One of the most pressing issues Japan faced at the beginning of the Showa Era was economic instability. The global economy had already begun to weaken, and in 1929, the Wall Street Crash sent shockwaves through Japan’s financial system. The economic downturn led to mass unemployment, factory closures, and widespread poverty, exacerbating social tensions. Farmers, who made up a significant portion of Japan’s population, suffered greatly as the price of rice plummeted, leading to rural hardships that fueled growing resentment toward the government. In response, nationalist and ultraconservative factions gained popularity, advocating for territorial expansion as a means to secure resources and economic stability.

    This was the first book, the very first, to issue a warning about the biggest crisis in science and public health. The author began sounding the alarm as a newspaper publisher in the 80s. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. brought the book to the world's attention when he recommended it to his 600,000 followers on his Instagram account in April, 2020. America is now listening. 
    This little book is a chapter from The Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Epidemic Cover-up Volume Two, a book that combines the history of AIDS and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome with a trenchant political analysis of the science and scientists that got everything terribly wrong. 
    In his bestseller, The Real Anthony Fauci, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. called Charles Ortleb, "Dr. Fauci's perennial Boswell." As the publisher and editor-in-chief of New York Native, he was the first person to devote a newspaper to the coverage of AIDS, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, and the careers of Robert Gallo and Anthony Fauci. Randy Shilts praised his newspaper's pioneering AIDS reporting in And the Band Played On. In Rolling Stone, David Black said New York Native deserved a Pulitzer Prize for its coverage of the epidemic. 
    This book is the first book to conceptualize the medical and scientific corruption of the last four decades as a medical and scientific Ponzi scheme. It is a radical new way of looking at medical and scientific fraud that has been promoted and enabled for decades. There are ten elements that the author has identified in a medical and scientific Ponzi scheme that have hidden the Chronic Fatigue Syndrome epidemic.

    A prize-winning memoirist and nature writer turns to the lives of plants entangled in our human world to explore belonging, displacement, identity, and the truths of our shared future 
     
     
     
    A seed slips beyond a garden wall. A tree is planted on a precarious border. A shrub is stolen from its culture and its land. What happens when these plants leave their original homes and put down roots elsewhere? 
     
     
     
    In fourteen essays, Dispersals explores the entanglements of the plant and human worlds: from species considered invasive, like giant hogweed; to those vilified but intimate, like soy; and those like kelp, on which our futures depend. Each of the plants considered in this collection are somehow perceived as being "out of place"—weeds, samples collected through imperial science, crops introduced and transformed by our hand. Combining memoir, history, and scientific research in poetic prose, Jessica J. Lee meditates on the question of how both plants and people come to belong, why both cross borders, and how our futures are more entwined than we might imagine.

    Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects millions of people worldwide. It is characterized by persistent patterns of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity that can interfere with daily functioning. While ADHD is most commonly diagnosed in childhood, it often continues into adolescence and adulthood, affecting individuals across various stages of life. Despite its prevalence, ADHD remains misunderstood by many, leading to misconceptions and challenges for those living with it. 
    The impact of ADHD can be profound, influencing various aspects of life, including education, work, relationships, and overall well-being. Individuals with ADHD may struggle with maintaining focus, staying organized, and controlling impulsive behaviors. These challenges can lead to frustration, low self-esteem, and feelings of inadequacy, especially when their symptoms are not properly managed or understood. However, it is important to note that ADHD is not a reflection of intelligence or capability. With the right strategies and support, individuals with ADHD can thrive and excel in many areas of life.
