Book Description
Much of our everyday environment affects us subconsciously and recent research showing how the brain processes information. The difference between the large amount of sensory input that the brain receives and what little our minds perceive is huge. This book deals with various aspects of “The Unconscious Zone ”, which gives an unconscious influence of experiences and non-conscious decision that is often called intuition. In the movie "in the mind of John Malkovich" pressed the main character on the elevator button 7 1/2 and ended up in a completely different world, where he through a hidden door could see into and check John Malkovich's brain. Recent research has shown that magnetic resonance (fMRI) can map the brain's internal functions and create a library that can be interpreted and the person's thoughts can be followed. Using Transcranial Magnetic stimulation (TMS), one with a magnetic field can control the behavior of the different centers of the brain and also get a hand to perform movements or blocking mental functions. A companion piece to this is a journey into the "The Unconscious Zone" as the book conveys.

Author: Bianca de la Garza
Publisher: Post Hill Press
ISBN:
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 182
Book Description
“Bianca de la Garza is a seasoned pro in speaking truth to power as a respected and authentic journalist. She always ‘comes to the game’ prepared and professional. Her new book takes on the bias and dishonesty of what poses as ‘news’ by dissecting how and why today’s mainstream media has become ‘fake news’ by trying to change the story rather than just reporting the story. I always enjoy repartee with Bianca because I know she’ll be fair, but tough. You’ll love her book. You’ll love her.” —Governor Mike Huckabee, Fmr. Presidential Candidate, Arkansas Governor, and Host of Huckabee Cable news TV anchor Bianca De La Garza reports the news every day, twice a day. She’s a journalist and a commentator, a conservative, a Christian, and a mom. The news is ugly, frightening, violent, insane, and relentless. Those in power are corrupt. The corporate media is corrupt. Corporate America is corrupt. Every day there is reason to despair. Yet every day there is also reason to hope. As Bianca reports daily and writes in this book, the foundation of America is stronger than the evil that attacks her every day. Conservative Americans must face this evil head on, and not back down. Conservative Americans hold tight to their families, faith, and values, and know that they have the power to rise from the insane policies and propaganda that have created crime, inflation, indoctrination of American children, and open borders. The right is right, and every day more people are waking up to that truth, and realizing that the radical Left is wrong and must be stopped. Everything we hold dear depends on it. “Bianca is the person the mainstream media fears the most: a competent journalist who reports facts and doesn’t play the role of an activist on air. Her book is an insider account of how the America dream is still alive and well, she’s living proof of that, and I encourage everyone to grab their copy!” —Brilyn Hollyhand, RNC Youth Advisory Council Chair and Author “Bianca de la Garza is one of America’s leading anchors and most successful journalists worldwide. As a truth teller and an avid researcher for the deep end of stories, she is known in US media as an accurate, balanced, and investigative media specialist, not only on set but also as an uber influencer and an opinion maker. Bianca has shown in her powerful career that she is the product of the American dream. I have observed her work for years and consider her the best leader in high level conversations. I strongly recommend her new book to acquire another advanced insight on the mechanisms and values inside the world of American media. Get the book!” —Dr. Walid Phares, Foreign Policy Expert and Author “Bianca de la Garza has long been a dynamic force in broadcasting, and her new book is no exception. Drawing on her extensive experience as a show host and journalist, she brings a unique perspective that is both thought-provoking and deeply relevant. Bianca’s insight into the world of news and current events is as sharp as it is engaging, making this book a must-read for anyone looking to better understand the times we live in. Her ability to connect with audiences shines through every page, delivering a compelling narrative that is both informative and inspiring.” —Matthew Whitaker, Former Acting United States Attorney General; Senior Fellow, American Cornerstone Institute

Finding Feminism
Author: Alison Dahl Crossley
Publisher: NYU Press
ISBN: 147988409X
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 243
Book Description
The contemporary tactics of millennial feminists who are part of an active movement for social change In 2014, after a young man murdered six students at the University of California, Santa Barbara, and then killed himself, the news provoked an eye-opening surge of feminist activism. Fueled by the wide circulation of the killer’s hateful manifesto and his desire to exact “revenge” upon young women, feminists online and offline around the world clamored for a halt to such acts of misogyny. Despite the widespread belief that feminism is out-of-style or dead, this mobilization of young women fighting against gender oppression was overwhelming. In Finding Feminism, Alison Dahl Crossley analyzes feminist activists at three different U.S. colleges, revealing that feminism is alive on campuses, but is complex, nuanced, and context-dependent. Young feminists are carrying the torch of the movement, despite a climate that is not always receptive to their claims. These feminists are engaged in social justice organizing in unexpected contexts and spaces, such as multicultural sororities, student government, and online. Sharing personal stories of their everyday experiences with inequality, the young women in Finding Feminism employ both traditional and innovative feminist tactics. They use the Internet and social media as a tool for their activism—what Alison Dahl Crossley calls ‘Facebook Feminism.’ The university, as an institution, simultaneously aids and constrains their fight for gender equality. Offering a stunning and hopeful portrait of today’s young feminist leaders, Finding Feminism provides insight into the contemporary feminist movement in America.

Encyclopedia of Hair
Author: Victoria Sherrow
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing USA
ISBN:
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 560
Book Description
This popular volume on the culture of hair through human history and around the globe has been updated and revised to include even more entries and current information. How we style our hair has the ability to shape the way others perceive us. For example, in 2017, the singer Macklemore denounced his hipster undercut hairstyle, a style that is associated with Hitler Youth and alt-right men, and in 2015, actress Rose McGowan shaved her head in order to take a stance against the traditional Hollywood sex symbol stereotype. This volume examines how hair-or lack thereof-can be an important symbol of gender, class, and culture around the world and through history. Hairstyles have come to represent cultural heritage and memory, and even political leanings, social beliefs, and identity. This second edition builds upon the original volume, updating all entries that have evolved over the last decade, such as by discussing hipster culture in the entries on beards and mustaches and recent medical breakthroughs in hair loss. New entries have been added that look at specific world regions, hair coverings, political symbolism behind certain styles, and other topics.
