Synopsis

"Riddle Evolution" explores the fascinating history of riddles, revealing them not just as simple amusements but as vital tools in the development of human intellect and cultural knowledge. This book argues that riddles mirror the evolution of human thought, reflecting increased sophistication in logic, language, and abstract reasoning across millennia. Intriguingly, riddles in ancient civilizations like Egypt and Greece served purposes beyond entertainment, including religious instruction and political maneuvering. The book uniquely bridges history and philosophy, positioning riddles as significant cultural artifacts that illuminate the journey of human intellect.

 
The book progresses by first introducing the fundamental characteristics of riddles in ancient literature. It then delves into key historical periods such as the Middle Ages and the Renaissance to show how riddles evolved with changing social and intellectual landscapes. Later chapters examine the transition of riddles into modern logic puzzles and their role in fields like artificial intelligence and cognitive therapy. This approach provides a comprehensive overview of how these brain teasers have shaped cognitive development and problem-solving abilities.

    Join leading social psychologists Roy Baumeister and Dianne Tice to discover what decades of data reveal about human sexuality. In this compelling audio series, renowned human behavior experts Roy Baumeister and Dianne Tice unravel the mysteries surrounding one of humanity’s most talked about but least understood forms of social interaction: sex. Playing the objective role of alien scientists observing human beings from outer space, they find patterns, puzzles, and paradoxes in how we make sexual decisions. Drawing on social psychology and even economics, they find new insights into age-old questions, such as:Do men really want to have sex more than women?Who is actually having lots of sex, and why?How has the internet changed sexual behavior?Why have so many societies tried to stifle female sexuality? In 19 eye-opening lectures, Drs. Tice and Baumeister delve into fascinating facts and findings to analyze human sexuality as a form of social interaction. While their discussions are strongly based in data about how mostly normal people make sexual decisions, they also explore larger issues about our sexual nature and motivations. This masterful audio course will answer all the questions you were afraid to ask and help you better understand human sexuality from a scientific vantage.This course is part of the Learn25 collection.

    The story of how the American South became the most incarcerated region in the world’s most incarcerated nation.
     
    Sunbelt Capitalism and the Making of the Carceral State examines the evolution of southern criminal punishment from Jim Crow to the dawn of mass incarceration, charting this definitive era of carceral transformation and expansion in the southern United States. The demise of the county chain gang, the professionalization of police, and the construction of large-scale prisons were among the sweeping changes that forever altered the southern landscape and bolstered the region’s capacity to punish. What prompted this southern revolution in criminal punishment?
     
    Kirstine Taylor argues that the crisis in the cotton fields and the arrival of Sunbelt capitalism in the south’s rising metropolises prompted lawmakers to build expansive, modern criminal punishment systems in response to Brown v. Board of Education and the Black freedom movements of the 1960s and ‘70s. Taking us inside industry-hunting expeditions, school desegregation battles, the sit-in movement, prisoners’ labor unions, and policy commissions, Taylor tells the story of how a modernizing south became the most incarcerated region in the globe’s most incarcerated nation.

    This program is read by the author.The empowering, inspiring, patriarchy-smashing first audiobook by podcast star Drew Afualo. With a new afterword from the author!Drew Afualo is best known as the internet’s “Crusader for Women” and is at the head of a new generation of entertainment’s rising stars. Loud is part manual, part manifesto, and part memoir. It makes it clear that behind her fearsome laugh is a mission and a life philosophy, a strategy for self-confidence from the inside out, and a pathway to once and for all remove men from the center of how women and femmes think about themselves.Afualo has amassed more than nine million followers across her social platforms. When she first started creating content in 2020, she realized that men on Instagram, Twitter, TikTok, and other apps were creating sexist content aimed at disparaging women, and also containing rampant fatphobia, racism, and other forms of bigotry, with very real-life consequences. It didn’t take long for her to step into the role of unofficial watchdog for misogyny, and her signature laugh is now recognized as a feminist call to arms, a summoning cry to rid the internet (and our hearts, minds, and lives) of “terrible men” and create a space to fight outdated patriarchal ideals.A Macmillan Audio production from AUWA Books.
