  Trolling Ourselves to Death -...

  Almost forty years ago, Neil Postman argued that television had brought about a fundamental transformation to democracy. By turning entertainment into our supreme ideology, television had recreated public discourse in its image and converted democracy into show business. In Trolling Ourselves to Death, Jason Hannan builds on Postman's classic thesis, arguing that we are now not so much amusing, as trolling ourselves to death. 
   
   
   
  Contrary to the popular view of the troll as an exclusively anonymous online prankster, Hannan asserts that trolls have emerged from the cave, so to speak. Trolls now include politicians, performers, patriots, and protesters. What was once a mysterious phenomenon limited to the darker corners of the Internet has since gone mainstream, eroding our public culture and changing the rules of democratic politics. 
   
   
   
  Synthesizing media ecology with historical materialism, Hannan explores the disturbing rise of political unreason in the form of mass trolling and sheds light on the proliferation of disinformation, conspiracy theory, "cancel culture," and digital violence. Taking inspiration from Robert Brandom's innovative reading of Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, Trolling Ourselves to Death makes a case for building "a spirit of trust" to curb the epidemic of mass distrust that feeds the plague of political trolling.

  The thrilling story of a pioneering conservationist working with dogs to protect wildlife from poachers.
  Conraad de Rosner is one of the first game rangers to focus on working with specially trained dogs to protect wildlife from poachers – both 'bushmeat' poachers, who use cruel snares to trap animals, and criminal syndicates killing for rhinoceros horn and capturing critically endangered pangolins, the most trafficked animal in the world.
  Con's life – constantly at risk from poachers, wildlife and even his own fellow rangers – has been saved on numerous occasions by his devoted canine companions. His first dog, Zingela, a Weimaraner, saved Con from near certain death at the hands of two fellow rangers; on another occasion, Zingela alerted Con to a concealed wounded buffalo, one of Africa's most dangerous animals, about to charge.
  When Zingela was tragically killed, hit by a car while Con was away, the only meagre consolation was that Con had kept Landa, one of the nine puppies sired by Zingela. Landa followed in his father's footsteps as the leader of the canine anti-poaching team that is still operating today. Con's story is an epic of modern-day African wildlife conservation, filled with courage, adventure and romance.

  Science and Health: Knowledge and Medicine in Ancient Rome (3 in 1) explores the intellectual and spiritual forces that shaped Roman civilization, from its groundbreaking scientific ideas to its religious beliefs and the formidable enemies it battled across centuries. 
  In Roman Medicine and Science, uncover the practical and philosophical roots of Roman knowledge—how doctors, engineers, and scholars applied Greek theory, astrology, and firsthand experience to treat the sick, build aqueducts, and study the stars. Roman Religion and Mythology dives into the gods, rituals, and sacred practices that infused daily life with divine meaning and political power. From Jupiter to household spirits, religion in Rome was deeply entwined with science, healing, and war. The Roman Empire and Their Enemies offers a dynamic look at Rome’s greatest rivals—Persians, Carthaginians, Germanic tribes, and more—examining how these conflicts influenced Rome’s scientific developments, medical needs, and mythic self-image. 
  Together, these three books reveal how Romans understood the world—through logic and legend, reason and ritual. Ideal for readers fascinated by ancient science, belief systems, and military history, this volume reveals how Rome's view of knowledge shaped its rise—and echoed through its fall.
