Synopsis

In striking photography and informative text, this volume both celebrates and mourns Eastern European Jewish life of the early- to mid-twentieth century.From Odessa to Budapest, Warsaw, Prague, and Sarajevo, the Jews of Eastern Europe established thriving, traditional communities . And while there are still proud Jews who keep the Kehilla robust in the region, they are a shadow of their former glory. In The Last Jews of Eastern Europe, Yale Strom and photographer Brian Blue record a way of life that largely disappeared through the torment, violence, and upheaval of the twentieth century. Through the USSR, Poland, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Romania, Yugoslavia, and Bulgaria, this volume records the three great blows to Eastern European Jewry: the historical persecution of the Jews who suffered the envy of their neighbors; the slaughter of millions during World War II; and the loss of those who accepted the aliyah to Israel. It also records how the Jews of Eastern Europe laugh, weep, and sing.

    What if your political identity, your core beliefs, and even your taste in snack food weren’t really yours? What if they were built out of language, hijacked by desire, and quietly manipulated by slogans, myths, and a Symbolic Order you didn’t ask to be born into? 
    Welcome to the world of Jacques Lacan, where nothing means what it seems, and everything is your unconscious acting out. 
    Lacan Sucks is your brutally sarcastic, surprisingly accurate guide to Lacan’s theory of language, power, and why you keep voting against your own interests. From signifiers that never shut up to unconscious desires that vote without you, this book breaks down how politics doesn’t just use language—it is language. 
    Through roast-level commentary, existential side-eye, and actual philosophical insight (yes, really), this book unpacks: 
    How language doesn’t reflect reality—it constructs it 
    Why you’re not an individual, you’re a pre-written script with anxiety 
    How politicians weaponize your desires with slogans and symbols 
    What the hell Lacan meant by “the unconscious is structured like a language” 
    And how to fight back using the one weapon they fear: your own damn voice 
    If you’ve ever felt manipulated by political discourse, confused by your own identity, or just wanted to scream into a pillow while reading Écrits, this is the book for you. 
    No degree in psychoanalysis or philosophy required. Just a sense of humor and a lingering suspicion that reality might be rigged.

    If you’re like most people, then you probably don’t know a lot about learning: how people learn, the mechanics of learning, and how to learn most effectively. That’s why Dr. Noah Volz set out to research the topic. After returning to college for his post-grad studies nearly twenty years after his undergrad, he realized how much the classroom had changed with the advent of the Internet. 
    Dr. Volz wasn’t satisfied to just chalk up his difficulties to his age. He just needed to implement strategies to make the most of what he was being taught. Through his research, which included surveying successful colleagues, Dr. Volz identified eight science-backed tactics to help level-up the learning experience and take any student to the top of the class. 
    In this second book, you’ll learn: 
    How you can apply the latest research about learning 
    The key methods for optimizing the learning process 
    How to debunk popular learning myths and pinpoint alternatives that work 
    The secret techniques for acquiring new skills, faster 
    Methods to improve your memorization of anatomy 
    How to train your brain for long-term focus 
    This step-by-step guide will help you live your best life as a student and set you up for lifelong success. 
    This book is for people who have trouble learning and are afraid they may not be able to finish school. You don’t have to be the smartest person in the room to be successful.
