Book excerpt: This book is sure to become one of the most influential of modern times. Its primary hypothesis is that, like the apes from which we evolved, homo sapiens sapiens or modern man lived from the outset in tribes, each with its own language, culture and religion passed on by tribal elders to succeeding generations. As with chimpanzees, however, tribes tended to be dominated by alpha males and periodically engage in wars with neighbouring tribes. From the outset, therefore, men developed the art of persuading others to believe their often ridiculous religious notions or to fight misguided wars. The Agricultural Revolution led to larger societies in which people had many different roles, paving the way for the today’s industrialized consumer societyin which we have been reduced to consumer zombies easily persuaded to overindulge in often unnecessary, if not harmful, products. This, of course, has been a disaster which has damaged our environment and ourselves, one result being decreases in our IQ that have been observed throughout the last century. The book’s first chapter gives a brief introduction to the evolution of modern man, the consumer society, and of ‘the persuaders.’ The next three chapters are devoted to discussion of language and learning, conditioning, memory, and attitude formation and measurement, including the contact hypothesis of ethnic conflict.Following chapters discuss several of the most important areas of man’s activities, including religion, war, art and science, industry, education, politics, business, the media, advertising and economics. In each of these it is seen that people are persuaded or ‘brainwashed’ into ‘buying’ some message or product.

Download or read book The Variant Virus written by G. A. Mohr, PhD and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2012-06-28 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book is the fi rst on the adventures of Briti sh secret agent Simon Sinclair who works mainly for Counter Terrorism Intelligence (Operati ons), or CT3, in conjuncti on with MI5, MI6 and the CIA. The book is a ‘future threat’ scenario, the threat in questi on being technologically feasible on grand scale as far back as the mid 1980s when an accident at Vektor, one of Russia’s then 50 Biological Warfare faciliti es, infected Usti nov with Marburg fi lovirus which evolved in the 15 days it took to liquefy all his organs into ‘Marburg Variant U’ which was then put atop SS16 rockets. In this gripping tale a recombinant or ‘dual’ virus is smuggled into England by CABAL, the Confederati on Against Briti sh-American Logisti cs, an internati onal group opposed to Briti sh and American power and infl uence that CABAL sees as hegemony. CABAL gives seven days noti ce of att acks on London. Aft er a CABAL att empt on his life Sinclair follows his att acker to Colombia where he learns the identi ti es of four CABAL ‘money men’ and captures one of them, the money trail left by these fi nanciers leading to the identi ty of CABAL’s operati onal leaders. Sinclair succeeds in thwarti ng four CABAL bomb att acks and stops helicopters heading to London with the virus, but not without fallout which threatens an epidemic. First symptoms of smallpox appear, and then those of a new and highly virulent strain of Marburg fi lovirus which causes haemorrhagic fever and liquefacti on of the organs. Sinclair fi nds a cure for the recombinant virus in Russia and spread throughout London, if not England or internati onally, is avoided. Many CABAL members have been captured or killed and for good measure Sinclair captures two of the three remaining top organizers sti ll at large. Refl ecti ng on a very hecti c three weeks during which England faced the greatest threat in its history, Sinclair realizes that there is a mole in CT3, leaving him a diffi cult future assignment but, at the same ti me, giving him an idea that might, given ti me, help shut down major terrorist organizati ons such as CABAL and Al Qa’ida for good.
Download or read book The War of the Sexes written by G. A. Mohr and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2012-10 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book seeks to restore a little balance to The War of the Sexes that feminists have been waging openly for about two hundred years with increasing success, one regrettable result being 50% divorce rates in the decadent West. Chapter 1 discusses the feminist movement and Chapter 2 discusses how women ¡¥capture¡¦ men. Chapters 3 to 7 discuss the many physical, chemical, and sociological differences between the sexes, ranging from the inborn maternal instinct, to those arising from their different upbringing. In Chapters 8 to 13 the strengths and weaknesses of women in our decadent societies are discussed, including exploitation of women in the consumer society and the growing problem of teen and single mothers. In Chapters 14 to 18 the way in which women are beginning to take over the workforce, management, and politics at the expense of men is discussed, whilst in Chapter 19 the key reasons for the overall moral and financial decay of Western Civilization are discussed. Finally, in Chapters 20 to 25 an attempt is made to make some constructive suggestions to remedy some of the problems posed by moral and financial decline in the West. Thus it is suggested that marital-type relationships should always be a carefully chosen and communicative and constructive partnership between compatible, like-minded people with sound career paths and life goals. The penultimate chapter suggests how those couples that do have children can make them smarter, in turn helping keep the family happier and more successful. The final chapter discusses contact hypothesis and mere exposure research, an understanding of which might be useful in reducing the War of the Sexes and also the many ethnic conflicts that plague the world today.

Download or read book The Great Persuader written by David Lavender and published by . This book was released on 1970 with total page 482 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Great Persuader is the biography of a robber baron, the greatest railroad mogul of them all—Collis P. Huntington, the Sacramento, California storekeeper who, along with Leland Stanford and Mark Hopkins, parlayed $1,500 into America's first continental railroad. It is an almost unbelievable story of a high dream of fortune realized through highhanded practices—an adventure which left the national treasury poorer by millions of swindled dollars, and America itself richer by a national railroad system which contributed greatly to the country's westward expansion. How did Huntington operate? What were his methods? Was he corrupt? These are questions that were previously unanswered, but, thanks to the cooperation of the Huntington family who supplied Mr. Lavender with material that had never before been made public, Lavender shows just how Collis P. Huntington operated—and it was defintely outside the law, although well inside the prevailing morality of his time. This book shows his complicated dealings with Sanford Hopkins; how he bested such tycoons as Thomas A. Scott, John C. Durrant, Oliver Ames, and Jay Gould; how Huntington accumulated the great fortune which was the legacy to his family; and how his great railroad network was to prove an unparalleled legacy to all Americans. The Great Persuader is a powerful story of a remarkable man whose singleness of purpose and ruthless manipulation of men and money propelled the great enterprise forward against all odds.
Download or read book Automobilities written by Mike Featherstone and published by SAGE. This book was released on 2005-05-19 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mobility - flows, movement and migration in social life - has emerged as a central area of sociological debate, yet one of its most dominant forms, automobility, has remained largely ignored. Edited by three leading social analysts, Automobilities presents one of the first and most wide-ranging examinations of the car and its promise of autonomy and mobility. Drawing on rich empirical detail, from ethnographies of office work on the motorway to the important of the car in French cultural theory, the contributions demonstrate just how significant have been the economic, technological, social and political consequences of a pervasive and accelerating culture of the car. A broad array of theories are put to work to illuminate this vast and yet neglected topic: strategy and tactics, complexity theory, performativity, actor network theory, film theory, material culture, theories of non-places, embodiment, sensuous geography/sociology, ethnomethodology and non-representational theory. This book will firmly establish automobilities as a key topic for theory and research. Automobilities represents a landmark text that will contribute to and provide a significant impetus for the emerging analysis of mobilities in contemporary societies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume focuses on developing a theory of culture that reveals how ideas create and legitimize social inequality, using empirical case studies ranging from automobile design to architecture to compare and critique two of the most influential theories of culture in contemporary sociology. It questions to what extent our culture reflects class inequality, and to what extent our culture masks those inequalities through the sameness of unified mass culture.
Download or read book Numerology of Astrology written by Lynn Buess and published by Light Technology Publishing. This book was released on 2013-12-25 with total page 760 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lynn Buess has done it again! As an innovator in the consciousness and self-awareness field for over forty years, he has now contributed a decidedly unique perspective of the time-honored system of astrology, helping humanity further understand its relationship to the universe. With this latest contribution to self-growth, Lynn offers an original perspective of numerology — this time with the combination of numerological characteristics and astrological influences. He not only writes from an intellectual viewpoint but as someone who has experienced glimpses of cosmic consciousness. Like most of his works, it is his hope that this volume will help seekers better connect to their cosmic memories of being both human and eternal in nature. Experience all the signs of the zodiac in minute detail: Aries • Taurus • Gemini • Cancer • Leo • Virgo • Libra • Scorpio • Sagittarius • Capricorn • Aquarius • Pisces It is my feeling that the sun degree serves a role of pinpointing just where the soul has the opportunity to make significant strides in personal growth or potentially stumble into a setback. A combination of the numerical value of the degree and the sun sign are blended together to offer insight about the nature of that commitment. — Lynn Buess, MA, EdS

Download or read book 71 72 written by Daniel Abrahams and published by eBook Partnership. This book was released on 2021-10-18 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There was a season when the world's greatest footballers were all on show at British grounds. Best, Keegan, Charlton and Moore were joined by Pele, Cruyff, Beckenbauer and Eusebio, while in the dugouts Clough, Shankly, Revie and Allison duked it out in the closest ever championship title race. That season was 1971/72. As Enoch Powell's rhetoric roared and American Pie topped the pop charts, Britain's footballing culture was simpler purer than the one we know today, with the game played for the public, not for TV companies. It was a time when players shared pints with fans, Topps football cards were schoolyard currency, Roy Race ruled the comic world and videprinters saw footy devotees hold their collective breath every weekend. As well as covering the superstars, 71/72 is a treasure trove of tales of lesserknown names who added to that extraordinary season. Read about the Aldo Poy goal that is still celebrated today, Toni Fritsch revolutionising the NFL, cricketing footballers and the OAP ball boy who rowed the River Severn.
