  TV Lobotomy The Scientific Truth...

  Michel Desmurget

  "TV unleashes the imagination and feeds intelligence." • "A child deprived of TV risks social isolation." • "TV dumbs you down." • "TV makes you obese." It seems that everything—and its opposite—has already been said about TV. But what is it really? How can we distinguish between the radical "No TV" of some and the supposedly entertaining virtues touted by others? Michel Desmurget, a doctor in neuroscience, has sifted through and synthesized thousands of research articles published over the last fifty years in the most rigorous international journals. The conclusion is unequivocal—we must stop watching television for good, whatever the program. All content, even that meant to teach, can never come close to any other learning method. The data is clear—television viewing is detrimental to school performance. For a child in elementary school, for example, every hour spent daily watching television increases the likelihood that he or she will one day leave the school system without any qualifications. For specialists, there is no doubt that television has a negative influence, not only on intellectual development but also on behavior. Thus, certain eating disorders (anorexia, bulimia) are related to a frantic consumption of—television programs! In short, watching television has an impact on our life expectancy. However, the harmful impact of this risk is largely underestimated, because of the large sector of the public exposed to television (more than 85% of Western households have at least one television set), and because of a debate on the subject that has become inaudible and confused. Moreover, the results of the research initiated by the big media groups on the subject remain "proprietary," i.e., closed to the general public. Believing that we is facing a real public health problem, Michel Desmurget wants to act as a responsible scientist—with a clear, concise and rigorously referenced book, the message cannot go unnoticed. Michel Desmurget is a doctor of neuropsychology. He attended several major American universities (MIT, Emory, UCSF) and is now a research director at INSERM in cognitive neuroscience. He is particularly interested in the problems of brain organization and plasticity. He is the author of the book TV Lobotomy (Max Milo, 2022), which is based in part on his personal history. Exasperated by having to constantly justify the choice not to have television at home—and to prevent his children from having access to it—and not to be seen as a sociopath in the eyes of those around him, he has done a massive job to argue his point. 
  This audiobook is read by a synthesized voice.

  Can the faith in God that most Americans share help us out of the political mess we're in? 
   
   
   
  As both a religiously observant person and a veteran of forty years in elective office, Senator Joe Lieberman is uniquely prepared to answer this question. In fact, he is the first person with political experience to pose and answer such a question in response to the current crisis of political division and governmental dysfunction in America. 
   
   
   
  Lieberman breaks down the causes of our political problems—including partisanship, incivility, and refusal to compromise—and then describes what the monotheistic faith that Christians, Jews, and Muslims share calls on us to do to overcome those problems. 
   
   
   
  He directs this appeal to members of Congress and the White House; leaders of the news and entertainment industry, who have such a large influence on our values and political behavior; and members of the clergy, who need to be leaders of a new Religious Awakening in America. 
   
   
   
  This book will provide a totally different way to look at American politics and government. It will open your mind and heart and give you hope for a better, more united future for our country.

  AMBASSADORS THE: Elizabeth I's...

  Simon Courtauld

  In the dangerous world of sixteenth-century Europe, diplomacy was rarely polite — and almost never safe. 
  In The Ambassadors: Elizabeth I’s Spies in Europe, historian and writer Simon Courtauld tells the remarkable story of the men who represented England abroad during the reign of Elizabeth I. Operating in the great courts of France, Spain and beyond, these diplomats were far more than messengers between monarchs. They were intelligence gatherers, negotiators, informants and sometimes conspirators — the front line of England’s survival in a continent divided by religion, rivalry and war. 
  Through vivid portraits of figures such as Sir Nicholas Throckmorton, Sir Thomas Smith, Thomas Chaloner and Thomas Randolph, Courtauld reveals the realities of Tudor diplomacy: dangerous journeys across Europe, constant financial hardship, and the delicate art of navigating courts dominated by powerful rulers such as Catherine de Medici, Philip II of Spain and Mary Queen of Scots. Their letters, intrigues and negotiations formed the intelligence network that allowed Elizabeth and her advisers — notably William Cecil and Francis Walsingham — to understand and outmanoeuvre their enemies. 
  Rich in anecdote and grounded in contemporary sources, The Ambassadors brings to life a world in which information was power and a single diplomatic misstep could alter the balance of Europe. 
  Simon Courtauld is the author of several previous books including Footprints in Spain, To Convey Intelligence, and Lady of Spain: A Life of Jane Dormer, Duchess of Feria, as well as works on travel, culture and history. A former legal correspondent of The Times and deputy editor of The Spectator, he writes with the insight of a historian and the narrative skill of a seasoned journalist. (quartetbooks.co.uk) 
  In this compelling study, Courtauld turns his attention to the shadowy world of Elizabethan diplomacy — revealing the spies in ambassadors’ clothing who helped shape the fate of England.
