Beschreibung

'Candy Candy' delves into the fascinating intersection of human biology, psychology, and our enduring attraction to sweet foods, offering a comprehensive exploration of why we struggle with sugar cravings in the modern world. The book masterfully weaves together evolutionary biology, neuroscience, and behavioral psychology to explain how our ancient survival mechanisms continue to influence our relationship with sugary treats today.

 
Through three main sections, the book first examines our body's biochemical responses to sugar, including detailed insights into glucose metabolism and insulin dynamics. The narrative then progresses into the psychological realm, revealing how dopamine reward systems, originally designed to ensure survival, now operate in an environment of unprecedented sugar availability. Particularly intriguing is the book's examination of how our foraging ancestors' reliance on sweet tastes as indicators of safe, calorie-dense foods continues to influence our modern eating behaviors.

 
The final section offers practical strategies for managing sugar consumption while acknowledging our biological predispositions. What sets this book apart is its interdisciplinary approach, combining findings from endocrinology, neuroscience, and behavioral psychology with accessible explanations and relevant case studies. For readers interested in understanding their complex relationship with sweet foods, the book provides both scientific insight and practical applications, all while maintaining a balanced, evidence-based perspective that avoids sensationalism.

The Athenian Constitution

Aristotle

In the work, Aristotle examines the historical development of the Athenian government, the functions of its various institutions, and the role of its citizens in the decision-making process. Aristotle divides the Athenian government into three main types: monarchy, aristocracy, and democracy. He argues that the Athenian government evolved from a monarchy to an aristocracy, and eventually to a democracy, which he believes to be the best form of government. Read in English, unabridged.

How to Have Antiracist...

PhD Roxy Manning, Kit Miller

Utilizing Dr. Martin Luther King's Beloved Community framework, activists will be empowered to create change and equity through fierce yet compassionate dialogue against racism and systematic white supremacy.

Can a person be both fierce and compassionate at once? Directly challenge racist speech or actions without seeking to humiliate the other person? Interrupt hateful or habitual forms of discrimination in new ways that foster deeper change? Dr. Roxy Manning believes it's possible-and you can learn how.

In this book, Dr. Manning provides a new way to conceive of antiracist conversations, along with the practical tools and frameworks that make them possible. Her work is grounded in the idea of Beloved Community, as articulated by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., as a goal to aspire to and even experience now, in the present, when we refuse to give up on the possibility of human connection within ourselves, with potential allies, and with those whose words and actions create harm. This book fuels courage and provides tools to confront everyday forms of racism. It walks the reader through an effective, efficient model of dialogue that utilizes concepts of nonviolent communication and helps normalize talking about racism instead of treating it like a "third rail," strictly avoided or touched at one's peril.

Readers will
- Be empowered to identify what kind of antiracist conversation they want to have-for example, do they only want to be heard, or do they want to negotiate a change in policy?
- Learn how to engage in antiracist conversations whether they are the Actor (person who says or does something racist), the Receiver (the target of racism), or the Bystander.
- Learn how to notice the underlying needs and values that motivate all human actions and how those values can open up pathways to transformation.

Examples of antiracist conversations highlight different ways to initiate dialogue, raise awareness, speak one's truth, and make clear, doable requests or demands for change.

Drawing on her experience as a clinical psychologist, a nonviolent communication practitioner, and an Afro-Caribbean immigrant, Dr. Manning provides a model of antiracist dialogue with practical applications for individuals and organizations.
