Sinopsis

Social Boost: How Relationships and Shared Experiences Shape Well-Being reveals how human connections serve as the bedrock of mental and emotional health, challenging modern myths of self-reliance. Blending neuroscience, psychology, and public health research, the book argues that social bonds aren’t optional—they’re biological imperatives. Our brains, wired through evolution for interdependence, release stress-reducing hormones during positive interactions, while loneliness triggers physical pain-like responses. One striking study highlights that midlife relationship quality predicts longevity better than cholesterol levels or genetics, underscoring ties between social health and lifespan.

 
The book’s three-part structure first dismantles cultural glorification of individualism, showing how emotional support systems buffer against stress. It then explores how shared activities—from team sports to community art—boost well-being by fostering belonging. For instance, group fitness participants report better mood and motivation than solo exercisers. Interdisciplinary insights reveal why digital interactions often fail to match face-to-face connections, lacking the neural rewards of real-world engagement.

 
What sets Social Boost apart is its balance of personal and societal solutions. It guides readers in nurturing relationships while advocating policy changes, like designing communal urban spaces. Written in clear, jargon-free prose, the book bridges academic rigor and everyday relevance, offering actionable strategies alongside critiques of toxic relationships. By framing social health as a skill rather than luck, it empowers readers to transform both their lives and communities through intentional connection.

    Black Elk of the Sioux has been recognized as one of the truly remarkable men of his time in the matter of religious belief and practice. 
     
     
     
    Black Elk was the only qualified priest of the older Oglala Sioux still living when The Sacred Pipe was written. This is his book: he gave it orally to Joseph Epes Brown during the latter's eight month's residence on the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota, where Black Elk lived. Beginning with the story of White Buffalo Cow Woman's first visit to the Sioux to give them the sacred pip, Black Elk describes and discusses the details and meanings of the seven rites, which were disclosed, one by one, to the Sioux through visions. He takes the listener through the sun dance, the purification rite, the "keeping of the soul," and other rites 
     
     
     
    The wakan Mysteries of the Siouan peoples have been a subject of interest and study by explorers and scholars from the period of earliest contact between whites and Indians in North America, but Black Elk's account is without doubt the most highly developed on this religion and cosmography. The Sacred Pipe, published as volume thirty-six in the Civilization of the American Indian Series, will be greeted enthusiastically by students of comparative religion, ethnologists, historians, philosophers, and everyone interested in American Indian life.

    Jewish history is a rich tapestry woven over millennia, shaped by the development of a people, their religion, and their culture as they interacted with various civilizations, faiths, and cultures. The earliest reference to Israel can be found on the Merneptah Stele, dated to between 1213–1203 BCE, marking the first historical mention of the ancient Israelite people. However, the religious and cultural narrative of the Jews stretches far earlier. Jewish tradition traces its origins to at least 1500 BCE, with religious texts such as the Torah recounting the story of the Israelites, beginning with the patriarchs Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. This historical foundation laid the groundwork for the development of Judaism, which began to emerge as a distinct religion during the Hellenistic period, particularly around 323–31 BCE, as Greek scholars began documenting Jewish practices and beliefs. 
    The trajectory of Jewish history has been marked by a series of dispersals and captivities, with the first significant one being the Assyrian exile of the ten northern tribes in 722 BCE. This event set the stage for a larger dispersion that was solidified with the Babylonian captivity in 586 BCE, when the Jewish elite were taken into exile. Following the Babylonian conquest, Jews began to settle throughout the ancient Near East, which would later become a defining characteristic of Jewish existence. The Jewish people continued to spread across the Mediterranean world, particularly within the vast expanse of the Roman Empire, where they maintained distinct cultural and religious practices even as they interacted with surrounding civilizations. This trend persisted throughout Byzantine rule in the eastern Mediterranean, although the influence of Jewish communities diminished in these regions after the Byzantine Empire lost control of the Levant to the Arab Islamic Empire in 638 CE.

    What do you do when you lose more than you can afford, when the stable bridge you’ve been crossing suddenly gives way and you find yourself plummeting into a chasm of fear and self-doubt? 
    After losing a dear friend and fellow firefighter to suicide, Steve is left shaken and leaves the fire service forever – or so he thinks. While trying to decide what his future holds, Steve takes us through his past. From Firefighter to Assistant Chief, a winning lottery ticket to a twist of fate, a series of strange health problems and devastating injury, Steve pulls us along the dizzying journey with him. And just when we think it can’t possibly get any worse for him, he leads us to the edge. And then the healing begins. 
    Although a sequel to his first book, The Unbroken, Extinguished is a story of its own, stranger than fiction, and another incredible example of Steve’s willingness to lay everything on the line to help anyone suffering from mental illness. At the same time, this isn’t a book just for them, or just for first responders. It is powerfully human and will resonate with everyone who reads it.

    Space is a contested domain for its very nature and today it is evidently becoming an increasingly important enabler of economic and military power. An increasing number of actors, infrastructures and technologies deployed in space also raises concerns for safety and security, especially in cyberspace. Many countries are striving to achieve space capabilities and autonomous access to space, and this is
    having a tremendous geopolitical impact, especially since space is emerging as an increasingly critical military and strategic domain. The development of the new space economy, which is increasingly involving the private sector and many industrial actors and services, will also be a game changer for the international economy. The space race likewise implies disruptive technologies that could contribute massively to the energy and digital transitions, accelerating solutions that could benefit humanity. A new international governance system for space is therefore needed urgently, considering that the current rules are no longer able to respond to a sector evolving at such a rapid pace. Which actors are leading the race? Which economic sectors could benefit the most and what could the new space economy mean for the world? How is space emerging as a military domain against a backdrop of increasing international tensions? What would a new system of global governance for space look like?
