  The Appeal to Authority Fallacy...

  Authority plays a significant role in shaping our understanding of the world, influencing decisions, and providing guidance in countless areas of life. It’s embedded in every facet of society, from the classroom to the courtroom, from the boardroom to the laboratory. At its core, authority is the power or right to give orders, make decisions, and enforce obedience. However, the nature of authority is multifaceted and often taken for granted, especially in a world where expertise is increasingly revered. 
  The concept of authority is deeply ingrained in human culture and history. From the earliest civilizations to modern-day societies, humans have sought structure and order, often relying on individuals or institutions with perceived knowledge and expertise to guide them. These figures, whether they are religious leaders, scientists, political figures, or educators, are often seen as trusted sources of truth. This trust is not just a reflection of their knowledge or expertise but also a product of social conditioning. In many cultures, authority is linked to the idea of legitimacy, with authority figures perceived as credible due to their position, reputation, or experience. 
  Yet, this reliance on authority can also be a double-edged sword. While authority figures often provide valuable insights and direction, they are not infallible. The human tendency to defer to authority can sometimes lead us to accept claims or decisions without questioning their validity. This uncritical acceptance, while often harmless, can lead to significant errors, as seen in the history of science, medicine, politics, and more. Blind trust in authority can stifle innovation, suppress dissent, and allow misinformation to spread unchecked.

  Can educators continue to teach troubling but worthwhile texts? 
   
   
   
  Our current "culture wars" have reshaped the politics of secondary literature instruction. Due to a variety of challenges from both the left and the right—to language or subject matter, to potentially triggering content, or to authors who have been canceled—school reading lists are rapidly shrinking. For many teachers, choosing which books to include in their curriculum has become an agonizing task with political, professional, and ethical dimensions. 
   
   
   
  In Literature and the New Culture Wars, Deborah Appleman calls for a reacknowledgment of the intellectual and affective work that literature can do, and offers ways to continue to teach troubling texts without doing harm. Rather than banishing challenged texts from our classrooms, she writes, we should be confronting and teaching the controversies they invoke. Her book is a timely and eloquent argument for a reasoned approach to determining what literature still deserves to be read and taught and discussed.

  Efficient and excellent writing relies on one crucial pillar: note-taking. This skill is often underdeveloped or totally missing in writers, whether they are professionals or students. In How to Take Smart Notes (2017), Sönke Ahrens details the slip-box note-taking method known as the Zettelkasten. This technique, adapted to both written and digital notes, shifts the focus from memorization and searching for notes to developing ideas through the note-taking and writing process, which becomes part of the thought process. The slip-box system allows writers to easily store and retrieve relevant notes while enhancing their creativity in finding topics to tackle.

  CANNABIS: Street drug home...

  What is cannabis for you: a street drug, a home remedy, or medicine? Maybe you can have a clear answer after hearing this audiobook. 
  At the beginning of the 20th century, multiple factors and interests converged to stigmatize the use of cannabis through a series of state and local laws. This illegality resulted in the dissemination of false information that strengthens the taboo towards the cannabis plant, despite its natural origin and outstanding benefits. 
  However, the interest in its therapeutic use increased in 1964 after the discovery of the human endocannabinoid system and the main one responsible for the psychoactive properties of THC, which the researcher Raphael Mechoulam isolated. Studies revealed that this system is involved in multiple physiological processes, homeostasis, and the maintenance of a stable internal environment despite fluctuations in the external environment. It also revealed its relationship with various types of pathologies. Right now, it is used to treat chronic and neuropathic pain, diabetes, cancer, and neurodegenerative pathologies, such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease. 
  In this audiobook, you will learn about the history of cannabis, the origin of its illegalization, the discovery of the endocannabinoid system, its receptors, and all the homeostatic-physiological functions. You will also learn about its therapeutic uses, alternatives of cannabis as a home remedy, Rick Simpson's Oil (RSO) and its benefits, the apothecaries, and the pharmacology of the active principles of the plant. 
  If you are interested in learning more about the fascinating medical cannabis, we invite you to enjoy this audiobook that Pharmacology University brings you.
