Sinopsis

"Touch and Meaning" presents a comprehensive exploration of physical touch's vital role in human development, relationships, and psychological well-being. Drawing from neuroscience, developmental psychology, and anthropological research, the book reveals how this fundamental sense shapes our mental health and social connections from infancy through adulthood. Through extensive clinical studies and research findings, it demonstrates how tactile experiences influence everything from early childhood development to adult emotional regulation and social bonding.

 


 
The book progresses logically through three key areas: the developmental significance of touch in infant-caregiver relationships, its role in adult relationships and social bonding, and its therapeutic applications in clinical settings. Notable research findings include studies of touch-deprived orphans and measurements of cortisol levels in response to supportive touch, highlighting the biological importance of physical contact. The work particularly emphasizes how modern society's increasing digitalization has created a "touch deficit" with measurable psychological consequences.

 


 
Written in an accessible yet academically rigorous style, the book bridges multiple disciplines while offering practical guidelines for incorporating appropriate touch in various contexts. It addresses contemporary challenges in maintaining healthy touch boundaries and adapting touch-based therapies across different populations and cultural norms. What sets this work apart is its comprehensive integration of scientific research with practical applications, making it valuable for both professionals in mental health and education as well as individuals seeking to understand the science behind human connection.

    Historian Joe A. Mobley recounts events in the Carolinas from prehistory and the first settlement by colonists through North Carolina's emergence as a state in a new, democratic nation. The history of North Carolina began before the first European explorers gazed upon its shores. Its Native inhabitants had long dominated the land and waterways. Before the colonial era ended vast numbers of English, Scottish, Swiss, Germans, French, Welsh and Africans had immigrated to North Carolina, pushing Native Americans to the margins and leaving their mark on the culture of the colony. In some ways, colonial North Carolina was unique in the early American experience. The peculiar configuration of the Outer Banks limited its commercial opportunities, but the colony was very much a part of the Atlantic world.

    Hatred is human and current. It is an intrinsic part of what can happen between people. Personal experiences can lead people to hate someone. In society and even on a global level, hatred is again and again the motor of misunderstanding and often also of violence between people. Sometimes hate smolders almost unconsciously; at other times he is furious and serves as a flag for serious violence. 
     
     
     
    Hatred has many faces and seems omnipresent, that much is clear. The term "Erida complex," after the Greek goddess of hate, symbolizes the common and deeply rooted nature of hatred. After examining the nature of hate, this book focuses a wide-angle lens on its many faces, in individuals and groups as well as peoples. Facing the negativity of hatred, this book presents constructive approaches to fostering relationships between people and peace.

    The Lantern In The Skull -...

    Each of us is a conscious individual living in the world. Very occasionally we have experiences so bizarre we have difficulty understanding what occurred. The Lantern in the Skull explores a selection of these unsettling yet intriguing experiences. 
    A camera previously in perfect working order which inexplicably won’t photograph fetishes in an African village chief’s basement provides the first step on Hugh Major’s engaging survey. Using his own experiences as a springboard, he considers telepathy, psychic perceptions, psychedelic insights, artistic transports, near death experiences and much else. 
    The nature of consciousness itself is a conundrum, and the evidence for marginal experiences remains contentious. Hugh Major provides  timely snapshot of current research into ‘marginal zones of the extraordinary.’ In precise, jargon-free language, he indicates the territory being explored and outlines major directions researchers are travelling. There are many captivating and surprising discoveries along the way. 
    Dean Radin PhD, chief scientist at the Institute of Noetic Sciences in the US, says: 
    “The Lantern in the Skull offers an engaging meditation on consciousness, that clear light that seemingly lives inside your head, stubbornly resisting materialistic explanations. Author Hugh Major provides a clearly written and well-informed study of the increasingly critical need to see beyond a simple clockwork model of reality.”

    Black History is for Everyone

    Black history is under attack from powerful right-wing forces that seek to excise it from classrooms and libraries. Its opponents fail to understand a simple truth: the best education challenges our assumptions and demands we keep at it. It makes us uncomfortable, helps us see larger forces at work, and gives us glimpses of alternate futures. 
     
     
     
    In Black History Is for Everyone, award-winning educator and scholar Brian Jones offers a meditation on the power of Black history, using his own experiences as a life-long learner and classroom teacher to question everything from the meaning of race and nation to the radicalism of the American Revolution. We see that "race" took centuries to get defined; we follow Frederick Douglass as he grapples with how to relate to the United States and, later, to Haiti; we compare the American, French, and Haitian revolutions; and we learn why the study of Black history has always been threatened. 
     
     
     
    In these pages, Jones offers a persuasive case for Black history and a celebration of the rewards of education. With warmth, immersive storytelling, and good cheer, Jones encourages us to delve deeper into our collective history, explores how curiosity about our world is essential—and reminds us that with stakes so high, the effort is worth it.
