Pathways for New Nuclear Development

Proceedings of a Workshop

From nutritionist and health coach Marina Wright, FDNP, a powerful guide to restoring body-mind health with holistic tools to heal our bodies through nervous system work, blood sugar regulation, and nutrient-dense foods.In this accessible guide, packed with simple day-to-day solutions, Functional nutrition practitioner and health coach Marina Wright (@marinawrightwellness) draws on her experience helping thousands of clients and followers combat weight gain, brain fog, anxiety, insomnia, fatigue, aches and pains, by tackling the underlying culprit: chronic stress.Our body’s natural stress response triggers the release of the hormone cortisol to help us handle immediate challenges. However, when this response becomes chronic instead of short-term, it can lead to adverse health effects. With Marina’s five-step nutrition and lifestyle program, we can build self-awareness, rebalance our hormones, regulate our circadian rhythms, and discover the long-term path to holistic health. In The Cortisol Reset Plan, you’ll find:<ul><li>customizable questionnaires to assess your symptoms</li><li>key information to understand how and where stress shows up in your body</li><li>stress-reducing recipes and comprehensive nutritional guidance</li><li>a selection of easy-to-implement daily habits to calm, nourish, and balance your body</li><li>and so much more.</li></ul>With Marina’s expert guidance, you will create new habits and prevent chronic stress from taking hold again. Now, you will be able to return to and remain in good health and vitality—whatever life throws your way.

The Cortisol Reset Plan

Rock Fracture: Theories, Modeling Methods, and Engineering Applications explores the principles and advanced techniques used to understand and predict rock fracture behavior. Sections discuss the theoretical framework of fracture mechanics, examining how factors like T-stress influence brittle rock failure under various loading conditions, including compression and tension. It then discusses various modeling approaches for crack propagation, such as fracture mechanics criteria, localized stress models, and their applications to different rock specimens and fault configurations. Hydraulic fracturing theories, including numerical models for fracture initiation and propagation around boreholes, along with the effects of end friction and jointed rock mass failure are also addressed. Finally, the book investigates the progressive failure of rock slopes, emphasizing the importance of numerical simulations to anticipate failure modes like toppling and shear failure. This comprehensive treatment underscores the importance of combining theoretical understanding with modeling techniques to optimize engineering practices. Ultimately, this book offers valuable insights for researchers and engineers committed to safer and more efficient rock engineering solutions.

Historische Geschlechterforschung

Wie werden Gender- und Queer-History-Projekte im lokalen Kontext und im kleinstädtischen Raum umgesetzt? Die Beiträger*innen widmen sich anhand des Fallbeispiels Südtirol der Frauen-, Geschlechter- und Queer-Geschichte in Minderheitengebieten. Südtirol repräsentiert einen Kontext intersektionaler Diversität, in dem verschiedene Arten von Minderheiten (z.B. hinsichtlich ihrer sexuellen Orientierung, ihrer Geschlechtsidentität oder ihres Migrationshintergrundes) aufeinandertreffen. Aus den Forschungsergebnissen lassen sich nicht nur neue theoretische Aspekte für die Gender Studies gewinnen, sondern auch praktische Implikationen für das Leben in einer Gesellschaft, die von multipler Diversität geprägt ist.

Frauen-, Geschlechter- und Queer-Geschichte

Shortlisted for the 2026 Unwin Award Longlisted for the 2026 Jhalak Prize Polls show that over fifty per cent of us don't believe racism exists. In a world made for White people, The Science of Racism uses clear scientific research to expose what we know about racism, exactly how we know it, and what we can do about it. 'Charismatic and funny' - The Guardian 'Illuminating, surprising, unnerving, moving' - Sathnam Sanghera 'Short circuits the brain' - The Independent * British police are nine times more likely to use their tasers on Black people. * An item being advertised on eBay will sell for approximately twenty per cent less if a dark-skinned hand is shown in the photos. * Black Caribbean applicants have to apply for around fifty per cent more jobs in order to receive a positive response. Professor Keon West cuts through the divisive anecdotes and rhetoric with decades' worth of science - the data that reveals truths about racism that are shocking and tragic, but also (somehow) funny and entertaining. Whatever you've read before, this book will ensure that you never see racism in the same way again.

The Night Hag

2026 NAACP IMAGE AWARD WINNER WINNER OF THE LIBBY AWARD FOR BEST SCIENCE FICTIONTHE INSTANT NATIONAL BESTSELLERRecommended by New York Times Book Review • People • NPR • Rolling Stone • Los Angeles Times • Reader's Digest • and more!“This one has it all.” — George R.R. Martin • “As delicious as it is disorienting.” — Zakiya Dalila Harris • “Suspenseful, timely, and heartfelt.” — People • “Mind-bending.” — New York Times Book ReviewIn this exhilarating tale by New York Times bestselling and award-winning author Nnedi Okorafor, a disabled Nigerian American woman pens a wildly successful Sci-Fi novel, but as her fame rises, she loses control of the narrative—a surprisingly cutting, yet heartfelt drama about art and love, identity and connection, and, ultimately, what makes us human. This is a story unlike anything you’ve read before.The future of storytelling is here. Disabled, disinclined to marry, and more interested in writing than a lucrative career in medicine or law, Zelu has always felt like the outcast of her large Nigerian family. Then her life is upended when, in the middle of her sister’s lavish Caribbean wedding, she’s unceremoniously fired from her university job and, to add insult to injury, her novel is rejected by yet another publisher. With her career and dreams crushed in one fell swoop, she decides to write something just for herself. What comes out is nothing like the quiet, literary novels that have so far peppered her unremarkable career. It’s a far-future epic where androids and AI wage war in the grown-over ruins of human civilization. She calls it Rusted Robots.When Zelu finds the courage to share her strange novel, she does not realize she is about to embark on a life-altering journey—one that will catapult her into literary stardom, but also perhaps obliterate everything her book was meant to be. From Chicago to Lagos to the far reaches of space, Zelu’s novel will change the future not only for humanity, but for the robots who come next.A book-within-a-book that blends the line between writing and being written, Death of the Author is a masterpiece of metafiction that manages to combine the razor-sharp commentary of Yellowface with the heartfelt humanity of Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow. Surprisingly funny, deeply poignant, and endlessly discussable, this is at once the tale of a woman on the margins risking everything to be heard and a testament to the power of storytelling to shape the world as we know it.“An ambitious, inventive tribute to the power of storytelling itself.” — Nikki Erlick, New York Times bestselling author of The Measure“A deeply felt dazzle. A blaze. It is true deep to the bones.” — Luis Alberto Urrea, Pulitzer Prize finalist and bestselling author of The House of Broken Angels"There’s more vivid imagination in a page of Nnedi Okorafor’s work than in whole volumes." — Ursula K. Le Guin

Death of the Author

Does the lack of evidence mean that aliens don't exist? Why does an unproven mathematical hypothesis have profound consequences? Are humans capable of grasping the nature of divinity? Is it ethical to give a patient a placebo? Why do people persist in demonstrably false beliefs like flat earth theory? Should someone want to know when they will die? George G. Szpiro examines these questions and many others, offering an engaging and witty tour of what we can learn from ignorance. In a series of fast-paced chapters, he unravels problems ranging across science, mathematics, law, economics, politics, religion, psychology, and philosophy--some esoteric, others drawn from everyday life. Ignorance comes in many forms, Szpiro shows. Some questions are only temporarily unsolved; others are inherently unanswerable. Sometimes authorities keep answers from us, for good or ill. Often our assumptions and biases keep us from overcoming our ignorance, and occasionally we choose to remain ignorant--for surprisingly rational reasons. Ultimately, Szpiro argues, ignorance is not purely negative. It can motivate the pursuit of learning and wisdom--as long as we acknowledge it. Presenting sophisticated topics in an accessible way, this book shows how ignorance sheds light on the nature of knowledge.

This updated bestseller shows leaders how to transform fragmentation into authentic community with new workplace applications and proven strategies for today’s divided world. With increasing violence, widening ideological divides, and growing economic inequality, a deeper sense of community is desperately needed. Yet typical ways of engaging people civically and organizationally remain unchanged. In Community, Peter Block explores how authentic community can emerge from fragmentation and offers practical steps to foster transformation. This updated third edition draws on decades of implementing Block’s ideas and includes the following: <ul><li>New stories and examples demonstrating community building as a more powerful approach to social problems than traditional policies and programs</li><li>Expanded resources and a discussion guide designed for classroom and training program use</li><li>A new closing chapter covering broader implications of the book’s ideas for organizational transformation</li><li>Fresh content exploring the creative economy’s relationship to belonging and social capital’s role in authentic engagement</li><li>Updated examples showing how community principles apply to today’s workplace and virtual world challenges</li></ul> From neighborhood councils transforming local engagement to organizations shifting from competitive to cooperative cultures, Block demonstrates how simple positive change can be once we decide it’s essential. Whether readers are community leaders, organizational consultants, or concerned citizens, this book provides the framework and tools to move from fragmentation to connection, from isolation to belonging.

Community, Third Edition

A fascinating deep dive into the dynamic interplay between culture, economics, institutions, and human prosperity. In Pathway to Change, Naci Mocan investigates the economic origins of current cultural beliefs, attitudes, and behaviors, highlighting the lasting impact of historical agricultural practices and ecological conditions. He shows that cultural traits evolve in response to external shocks—such as exposure to violence, changes in institutional quality, and the laws and law enforcement—and argues that culture and institutions influence each other: culture shapes the functioning of institutions, while institutions also mold cultural norms. As a result, the success of institutional reforms depends heavily on the cultural context in which they are implemented. Drawing on research from various fields—including economics, evolutionary biology, psychology, linguistics, neuroscience, philosophy, anthropology, and political science—the author describes how cultural attributes such as trust, honesty, patience, preference for leisure, morality, individualism, and proclivity for violence shape economic outcomes and individual well-being. The book presents evidence on both intergenerational transmission of culture and horizontal transmission within the members of the same generation. It also describes how culture can be shaped and transformed, emphasizing the roles of media, education, laws and law enforcement, and role models. Finally, the book recommends that undesirable cultural attributes that are detrimental to our well-being, determined by scientific criteria, should be modified, and offers policy tools that can be deployed for cultural change.
