Can Our Civilisation Survive the Changes Generated by New Technology? Analysing Society and Media
Human history is a history of powerful civilisations which collapsed for various reasons, but behind all of those reasons there was the inability of each civilisation to adapt to changes that were introduced by the human race itself or by the external environment. Judging from history we can expect that our civilisation might collapse as well. This book takes a look at the huge changes brought by new technology that was introduced by humans over the past few decades and might have the power to destroy the modern civilisation. It analyses social disadvantages of the new technology and attempts to answer the question of what has to be done to enable society to adapt to the new techology, embrace it and use it for the collective good. It also explains how to recognize fake news, why Orson Welles was a fake news visionary and why Monica Lewinsky was one of the first victims of the modern new technology.
Compulsive Buying
Rooted in research and clinical practice, Compulsive Buying examines the drive that compels people to compulsively purchase and hoard their acquisitions. The authors and contributors cover the entire scope of this behavior and discuss what clinicians need to know in order to better understand and treat their clients. Among the key subjects examined are case reports, correct diagnosis, assessment and instruments, comorbidity, treatment, research, and directions for future research. The book ends with a useful guide for therapists, which includes data and research; and a treatment manual, which includes questionnaires and exercises for clinician and client alike.

Lexikon of the Hispanic Baroque
Over the course of some two centuries following the conquests and consolidations of Spanish rule in the Americas during the late fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries—the period designated as the Baroque—new cultural forms sprang from the cross-fertilization of Spanish, Amerindian, and African traditions. This dynamism of motion, relocation, and mutation changed things not only in Spanish America, but also in Spain, creating a transatlantic Hispanic world with new understandings of personhood, place, foodstuffs, music, animals, ownership, money and objects of value, beauty, human nature, divinity and the sacred, cultural proclivities—a whole lexikon of things in motion, variation, an...
