    Have you ever walked into a room filled with strangers and felt awkward? Have you wondered where to stand, or felt unsure about how to start up a conversation, or questioned how to reply if someone spoke to you? Chances are the answers to those questions are yes because we all have felt that way at some point in our lives. No matter what subjects you studied in school, you may never have learned and honed the skills you need to navigate that room full of strangers, whether it was for a business meeting or a more casual social event. You just were not given all the tools you needed to succeed. But that changes now.

    Build your social skills toolbox with Master Your People Skills, an immersive, science-based course to help you understand yourself and those around you in brand-new ways. In 31 captivating lessons, you will learn dozens of specific people skills to increase success in your family, business, and intimate relationships. And yes, you will learn not only where to stand in a room full of people you may not know, but you will also find yourself enjoying the prospect of getting to know them.

    Your professor, Vanessa Van Edwards, founder of research and learning hub Science of People, understands what it means to feel uncomfortable in social situations. In fact, she describes herself as a recovering awkward person who would hide in the bathroom at networking events. That is not what she wants for you and that is certainly not how you will feel after the experience of Master Your People Skills.

    Busting the Myths of People Skills

    When Vanessa realized that she needed some help with people skills when she realized she would not be able to accomplish her social or professional goals without them she turned to books. The books she read made a few good points but never taught her how to apply that information. And so, nothing really changed in her life. That is why Vanessa will not only teach the skills you need to learn, but also how to apply each skill in your daily life.

    Before teaching the specific people skills you need, Vanessa busts three significant myths about the subject

    People skills are not important. Again and again, studies show that those with measurably better people skills are more successful.
    I don t need any help. Studies show that over 95% of people rate their people skills higher than they are when tested. Consequently, there s a good probability that improving your people skills will lead to greater success in important areas of your life.
    Improving my people skills means becoming an extrovert. Improving your people skills means learning more about yourself, your values, motivations, and who you strive to be at the deepest level then developing the ability to learn those things about other people, too. If you re a bubbly extrovert, great; if you have a quieter power, also great.

    The Warm-Ups

    Vanessa begins every lesson with a roadmap describing where the course has taken you up to that point, what her specific goals are for that lesson, and where the course will go after that. In addition, every lesson begins with a warm-up, an exercise to get your juices flowing, as your expert says.

    The warm-ups usually involve a challenge. Warm-ups can range from asking the participant to imagine a specific scene, to come up with specific words to describe yourself or someone else, and sometimes to roleplay an improvised situation. Everyone benefits from what the participants learn in these exercises. Warm-ups include

    Conversation Starters. Vanessa asks everyone in her audience and at home to stand up using the launch stance (a skill she will teach you early on) and to imagine you re standing in a coffee-shop line. Each participant is to say their best conversation-starter aloud. You can hear the suggestions and the professor s real-time response to them.
    Personality Speed-Reading. You will learn the concept of the personality matrix which you will then apply by filling out the matrix (found in the course materials) based on short, recorded interviews. The professor guides participants from her live audience in speed-reading the people they have just met on the videos.
    Power of Persuasion. The purpose of this warm-up is to have each participant identify aspects of their lives in which they would like to be more persuasive. The mic is passed so you can hear the answers and the professor s responses to them.

    Science-Based Skills

    Each skill you will learn in this course is science-based, meaning that it was developed by top researchers at academic or clinical institutions and presented in peer-reviewed journals.

    Chances are you will find some of the skills to be more applicable to your life than others. And that is what you would expect. If you re in an intimate relationship that is not meeting your needs and you don t know how to communicate to your partner what s wrong, you might be looking for a different set of skills than the business manager who is concerned about lagging sales. But both of you will benefit from increasing the vocabulary and power of your people skills.

    Aggregated together, the skills taught in this course will help you become

    Likable without having to be a people-pleaser. With the appropriate people skills, you will learn you don t have to put your own needs aside for people to like you. Instead, you can have mutually beneficial relationships.
    Assertive and direct with your opinions without being aggressive. If you don t know how to express your opinions in a way that encourages others to listen with consideration, it s easy to become frustrated. That frustration can lead to aggression if you feel you have no other way to get people s full attention.
    Influential as opposed to manipulative. When you learn how to increase your impact in an authentic, direct, and honest way, there is no need to feel you must manipulate others to get your point across.
    No matter where you are on your life s journey, Master Your People Skills will help you understand your own life and the lives of those around you better, leading to greater success in your relationships and social situations.

    What Will You Learn?
    Develop techniques for overcoming awkward interactions, avoiding toxic people, and building rewarding relationships

    Gain practical tips so you can be proud of your in-person interactions and also communicate more effectively online via email, text, and social media

    Discover how to command respect and supercharge your first impression

    Learn the art of speed-reading people so you can know exactly what to do to win more deals and attract more clients

    Master your presence to be more persuasive, likable and influential

    Modern physics is filled with ideas that defy common sense, but, nonetheless, have a strong claim to be true. A prime example is Einstein s twin paradox, about identical twins who age at markedly different rates if one takes a trip at near-light speed. Another is Erwin Schr dinger s thought experiment involving a cat that is arguably both dead and alive due to a fundamental feature of quantum mechanics.

    But no theory strains credulity like Many-Worlds, the proposal that we experience only one branch of possibly infinite realities, which sprout like the limbs on a tree, splitting into numberless parallel universes all of which are equally real. Officially called the Many-Worlds Interpretation (MWI) of quantum mechanics, this seemingly absurd idea may be what s really going on in our multiverse.

    In The Many Hidden Worlds of Quantum Mechanics, noted theoretical physicist, philosopher, and popular author, Professor Sean Carroll of Johns Hopkins University makes an eloquent case that Many-Worlds is the framework that best explains quantum mechanics, which is the science of matter and energy at the atomic and subatomic scales. In 24 accessible and fascinating lectures, he guides you through the history, reasoning, and implications of this bold conjecture. Professor Carroll also covers alternate theories to Many-Worlds and unresolved questions in fundamental physics, making this course a fascinating window into the current state of this exciting field.

    Not as Bizarre as It Sounds

    How off-the-wall is Many-Worlds? Consider these consequences of the theory

    Multiverse: Innumerable universes exist simultaneously, and the number is growing exponentially. These universes don t have a location in space, but space exists inside each, just as in our own universe.
    No Contact: There is no way to travel to these other universes, nor can any signals pass between them. They are isolated and unknowable yet the simplest version of quantum theory predicts that they exist.
    Duplicates: Countless versions of you exist in these parallel universes. At least, they are you in the sense that each of you shares the same past. However, each version of you is a different person who will experience a unique future.
    These claims may sound like science fiction, but there are good reasons to believe them. The Many Hidden Worlds of Quantum Mechanics takes you step by step through the observations, arguments, and counter arguments that first built quantum theory, and then led a group of thinkers inexorably to the Many-Worlds hypothesis. Many-Worlds is by no means the conventional interpretation of quantum mechanics. But as Professor Carroll shows, the extra worlds almost miraculously emerge from the standard equation whether anyone wants them to or not.

    The Birth of Many-Worlds

    Many-Worlds is a response to the Copenhagen Interpretation of quantum mechanics, named for the city where its principal proponent, Niels Bohr, had his famous research lab in the early 20th century. Designed to account for the strange phenomena observed at the quantum scale, the Copenhagen Interpretation holds that quantum particles or waves exist in multiple states at the same time, as described by the wave function. This wave function is governed by the Schr dinger equation and encompasses all possible quantum states for a system. Upon measurement, the system assumes a definite state, an event that Bohr and his colleagues termed the wave function collapse. According to the Copenhagen Interpretation, these multiple states are real physical possibilities that become definite only at the moment of measurement.

    In the 1950s, physicist Hugh Everett objected that the wave function collapse was an ad hoc addition to the mathematically elegant Schr dinger equation. Instead, he proposed that the collapse is only apparent, and that we should stick to what the equation tells us: that all possible outcomes continue to evolve in parallel, leading to a branching structure of many non-interacting universes.

    Mysteries Solved?

    The beauty of Many-Worlds is that it resolves several long-standing paradoxes that have given quantum mechanics its reputation as a theory that not even physicists fully understand. Among these are

    Spooky Action at a Distance : This was Einstein s term for quantum interactions that appear to take place faster than the speed of light, due to the instantaneous collapse of the wave function.
    Schr dinger s Cat: This thought experiment describes the puzzling state of a cat before the collapse of a wave function that will decide whether it is alive or dead due to the random release of poison.
    The Observer Problem: In the Copenhagen Interpretation, the mere act of observing instantly collapses the wave function, making a macroscopic world of human thought and action a decisive part of a quantum system.
    In each example, Many-Worlds sidesteps these problems by postulating that all possible outcomes take place in separate realities. In the case of spooky action at a distance, the consequences of the quantum interaction appear in different universes; therefore, no signal can pass between them, and no faster-than-light travel is involved. For Schr dinger s cat, it is alive in one universe and deceased in another. And in the observer problem, there is no special role for observers since all outcomes occur.

    Physics Has Surprised Us Before

    Not surprisingly, many scientists are unsettled by the Many-Worlds approach and have come up with rival theories that deal with the problems of the Copenhagen Interpretation without invoking multiple realities. Professor Carroll introduces a number of these proposals, discussing their strengths while noting that none is as mathematically simple as Many-Worlds. They include

    Hidden Variables: Pioneered by French physicist Louis de Broglie and American physicist David Bohm, this class of theories adds new variables in addition to the wave function to make it deterministic and to remove the mystery of the Copenhagen model.
    GRW: Ghirardi Rimini Weber theory (GRW) endorses the reality of the wave function collapse but makes it spontaneous and random rather than due to the act of measurement. It involves modifying the usual equation obeyed by the wave function.
    QBism: Standing for Quantum Bayesianism, this view uses Bayesian reasoning to make probabilistic predictions about quantum experiments. Its proponents criticize other approaches for objectifying the quantum state, which QBism does not.
    And looming over all the lectures is classical physics, the project energized by Isaac Newton in the 17th century, and which reached an unexpected hurdle at the beginning of the 20th century, to be supplanted by quantum theory. The Copenhagen Interpretation then reigned as the most influential view of quantum phenomena for many decades. Its critics have responded with counter proposals, seeking a breakthrough idea to explain the baffling quantum world.

    The Many Hidden Worlds of Quantum Mechanics focuses on one of the most spectacular of these proposals. Professor Carroll is at pains to be open-minded, questioning, and skeptical, while marshalling powerful arguments that Many-Worlds a theory that almost defies belief should be believed. It wouldn t be the first time that physics has surprised us.

    The issues addressed by macroeconomics are all around you, all the time from taxes to inflation to mentions of GDP on the nightly news. By learning the principles of macroeconomics, you ll be able to go beyond simply hearing the terms to better understanding their relationships to each other and how they create the economic environment in which you live. In fact, macroeconomics with its big-picture glasses allows you to better ask and better try to answer the biggest questions of our time, questions that impact the lives of billions of people

    In 24 revealing lectures, Macroeconomics Made Clear will introduce you to the subject that people have been theorizing about and modeling for almost 100 years. With easy-to-understand visuals and examples, Dr. Akila Weerapana of Wellesley College shows you the real-world applications of the key ideas in macroeconomics. Dr. Weerapana shows you how macroeconomics offers a hopeful tool for the future and sheds light on what we observe now. He focuses on the beginning of macroeconomics when the new field tried to explain the causes of the Great Depression, subsequent business cycles, the COVID-19 pandemic with its economic impacts, and several of our greatest global challenges of today.

    The People behind the Math

    When we think about macroeconomics, images of equations, symbols, and models may come to mind. While those do depict the work of macroeconomics, behind all the math are real people trying to figure out something about the world they see around them.

    What happened to cause the Great Depression and how can we prevent such a severe economic collapse from happening again? Why are two countries that are so similar in so many ways even sharing one small island in the case of Haiti and the Dominican Republic so very different in the quality of life experienced by their populations? Are masses of people destined to live in poverty while a few live in luxury or could we develop policies that really make a difference for everyone? These are the questions that drive macroeconomists.

    In this course, you ll meet many of the most influential people behind the equations, economists who have changed our understanding of the way the world works. These economists include

    John Maynard Keynes. Known as the father of macroeconomics, Keynes was one of the most influential economists to examine the causes of the Great Depression. He proposed occasional short-term government intervention in economies as opposed to always letting free-market forces reign.
    Robert Solow. Solow studied the growth of economies what makes them grow and at what rate and created one of the most popular models of growth. His work revealed technology to be the key engine of economic growth.
    Paul Romer. While Solow identified the role technology plays in an economy, it was Romer s work that explored how those technologies are created, also identifying specific policies that could encourage their development.
    As you meet these and other influential economists, you will also see how there is no singular model for economic success There are different theories and varied solutions to the challenges facing modern economies.

    Models

    Macroeconomists do not have the option of running their experiments in the real world; no country s central bank is going to change their monetary policy to help a university professor test out a new theory. Instead, macroeconomists create mathematical models. Just like maps, these models preserve the main structures to be considered, while omitting the thousands of smaller features that exist in the real world. Macroeconomic models test what happens when one variable changes against another over time, when an altogether new variable is added into the mix, when government regulations change the value of a constant, and more.

    In Macroeconomics Made Clear, Dr. Weerapana introduces you to the most significant macroeconomic modeling concepts in order to help you visualize the most interesting what if questions in economics. These models include

    Solow Model. In its simplest form, the Solow Model describes how inputs to production (capital, labor, education, resources) are translated into output. The model reveals that in the absence of technological change, the long-run natural tendency of an economy is to not grow at all.
    Aggregate Demand-Inflation Adjustment Model. This model is a more sophisticated version of a framework Keynes developed to understand the Great Depression. In this course, you ll use the model to examine economic fluctuations, like the 2020 COVID-19 recession and others, and to explore when and how policymakers should respond to various economic shocks.
    Current Challenges

    Macroeconomic models are excellent tools for explaining past economic crises or putting forth policy ideas about how to address a current recession. But even more important, they can help us address some of the defining economic challenges of our time, such as

    Income Inequality. Increased economic inequality puts power in the hands of a wealthy minority and results in reduced upward mobility for wide swaths of the population. While economic growth is positive, if that growth becomes increasingly unequal across a population, negative political and economic changes can result.
    Migration. Most economists agree that the average US citizen would be better off if many foreign workers were legally allowed to immigrate to the United States each year whether high- or low-skilled workers. But immigration remains the issue on which the gulf between what an economist would support and what the political process can deliver has remained the widest.
    Climate Change. Changes in global climate will have a staggering impact on global income inequality and will pose a general global constraint on economic growth. The effects are expected to fall most heavily on hundreds of millions of the poorest people in the world s poorest countries.
    Dr. Weerapana makes it clear that even macroeconomists who have spent decades studying the economy are not likely to find easy agreement on solutions to these three challenges; the problems are complicated and the solutions seemingly politically intractable. But in the conclusion of the course, he considers ways to address the most pressing issue: climate change. He discusses a potential carbon tax on either emitters or energy users, what the dollar amount of that tax should be, and the ways in which a carbon tax could spur technological innovation and subsequent economic growth.

    In addition, Dr. Weerapana encourages you to take the principles that you learn in Macroeconomics Made Clear and begin to view the world around you through those lenses. He suggests that doing so can be a small, but important, step toward creating a global economy in the coming decades which will transform the lives of people in an equitable manner, for the better.

    It s easy to imagine the first modern humans staring up at the heavens in wonder, their eyes and minds dazzled by a beautiful band of light splashed across the night sky, the ever-changing moon so large and bright, and pinpoints of light in every direction. For a few hundred thousand years, our eyes were our primary astronomical tool, and we used them well. We catalogued and analyzed what we saw, filled in the gaps with powerful stories, applied what we knew of mathematics, and then invented complex tools of stone, metal, and glass to expand our knowledge. Everything we knew about the universe was based on light, that small part of the electromagnetic spectrum detectable by human eyes.

    Then one day in the 1930s, a young engineer named Karl Jansky was assigned a task at Bell Labs: What were the sources of radio static that could interrupt transatlantic radio communications? After several years of work, he identified one source as radio waves coming from thunderstorms near and far and another, from something at the center of the Milky Way. For the very first time, we had detected radiation below the visible part of the spectrum emanating from an astronomical object. For years, astronomers had been frustrated by interstellar dust that blocked their view and limited their

    Radio Astronomy: Observing the Invisible Universe takes you on a thrilling journey through the universe with stunning visuals and animations to explain the science of radio astronomy and its astounding discoveries. Your guide is Felix J. Lockman, Ph.D., of the Green Bank Observatory, an active radio astronomer whose great passion for his work is absolutely contagious. As Dr. Lockman explains, radio astronomy is not simply a conglomeration of theories with no practical application to our lives today. While radio astronomy has the potential to one day answer the question of extraterrestrial intelligence, it also allows us to more accurately tell time right here on Earth, study terrestrial plate tectonics, and even get smartphone directions to that great new restaurant.

    All about That Hydrogen

    Some of radio astronomy s myriad discoveries can be traced to the structure of the hydrogen atom. In hydrogen, one electron is essentially in orbit around one proton and both have a property called spin, either up or down. The parallel spin wants to decay into antiparallel spin much like two magnets wanting to be aligned north to south, or antiparallel. In jumping position from parallel to antiparallel, a photon of radiation is emitted.

    This process is certainly not unique to hydrogen. What is unique is that at the dawn of radio astronomy, a scientist predicted hydrogen would emit this radiation at detectable radio wavelengths, and this prediction offered astronomers a new tool for studying the universe. Three teams of scientists from around the world worked to discover the signal, and there it was, exactly as predicted: with a frequency of 1420 MHz, a wavelength of 21 cm.

    For more than a decade, hydrogen at 21 cm wavelength remained the only spectral line which radio astronomers could use for their research. Later, signals from other elements and even molecules were identified. Over time, as both theory and technology improved, radio astronomers made discoveries that completely changed our understanding of the universe. Just a very few of these discoveries include

    Jupiter s radiation belts;

    Galactic non-thermal radiation, now called synchrotron emission;

    The birth rate of stars in the Milky Way and the galaxy s rotational speed;

    Sagittarius A, the black hole at the center of the Milky Way;

    Dark matter;

    Neutron stars, pulsars, and binary pulsar systems;

    Gravitational radiation, as predicted by Einstein;

    Cosmic background radiation, confirming the big bang theory;

    Radio galaxies, quasars, and active galactic nuclei;

    Giant molecular clouds, the birthplaces of stars and planets; and

    Complex organic molecules in interstellar space.

    Radio Telescopes, Seeing the Invisible

    While you might have an optical telescope in your backyard, you will likely never have a radio telescope. Radio telescopes are large over 100 meters in diameter and beyond because radio waves contain such a small amount of energy. For example, the signal from your cell phone measured one kilometer away is five million billion times stronger than the radio signals received from a bright quasar! Although each radio telescope is designed for a specific use and often looks very different from others, they are all based on the same physical principles. Each collects, focuses, amplifies, and analyzes radio waves. In Radio Astronomy: Observing the Invisible Universe, Dr. Lockman takes you on an exciting virtual tour of radio telescopes. From the first handmade telescope built by radio astronomy pioneer Grote Reber to those on the drawing board for tomorrow, you re right there with the scientists

    The Green Bank Telescope, West Virginia, where Dr. Lockman does his research. At 17 million pounds and with more than 2,000 surface panels that can be repositioned in real time, this telescope is one of the largest moveable, land-based objects ever built.

    The Very Large Array (VLA), New Mexico. With its 27 radio antennas in a Y-shaped configuration, the data can be multiplied to form interference patterns, giving scientists a deeper and clearer look at galaxies than ever before.

    The Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), Chile. With an array of 66 radio antennas located high above much of the earth s atmosphere, ALMA has revealed new stars and planetary systems in the making.

    The Very-Long-Baseline Array (VLBA), with multiple locations. The VLBA includes telescopes located thousands of miles apart, all functioning together as one single radio telescope the size of the Earth, allowing scientists to peer deep into the centers of galaxies.

    The Biggest Questions

    Perhaps the most astounding of all radio astronomy discoveries is this: The dominant molecular structures in interstellar space are based on carbon. That is not what scientists had expected.

    We have always labeled these molecules organic because life on Earth is carbon based. Now we know that the chemistry of the entire Milky Way is organic, not just our home planet, and it is likely that any extraterrestrial galactic life would be related to us, at least on the molecular level. Will we find other organic lifeforms out there? Radio astronomers don t know. But they re working on it, along with the study of many other objects and processes not yet understood. Dr. Lockman s current research addresses hydrogen clouds in the Andromeda galaxy, the nearest major galaxy to the Milky Way. Other radio astronomers are working to answer myriad questions about dark matter, fast radio bursts, and much more.

    If the history of radio astronomy is any predictor, discoveries in these new research areas will lead to new questions, new technologies, more discoveries, and more questions. As Radio Astronomy: Observing the Invisible Universe shows, the field is on the cutting edge of knowledge itself. Astronomy, by looking outward, leads us to questions that reflect upon ourselves in very deep ways, Dr. Lockman says. Astronomical discoveries have changed the way we think.

    What Will You Learn?
    how understanding the hydrogen atom led to the discovery of dark matter.

    that interstellar space is peppered with organic molecules.

    how radio astronomy contributes to our lives on Earth.

    The written word has amazing power. It can open your eyes to new ideas and allow you to view the world through different perspectives. It can create pathways of communication, pass down cultural knowledge, and connect disparate peoples and beliefs. Some books have even changed the world

    The written word has amazing power. It can open your eyes to new ideas and allow you to view the world through different perspectives. It can create pathways of communication, pass down cultural knowledge, and connect disparate peoples and beliefs. Some books have even changed the world. This power is often why literacy is so strongly centered in cultures across the globe. It is also why some books are seen as a threat that must be contained or eliminated.

    In Banned Books, Burned Books: Forbidden Literary Works, you will consider some of the so-called greatest works of literature ever written in English and some literature that s considered not so great. What all these works have in common is that someone a judge, a vocal parent, a government official, or a powerful librarian or a group of someones like a library board, PTA, or school board thought every one of these works was dangerous enough to challenge, or ban, or even burn.

    Throughout these 24 lectures, author and book critic Professor Maureen Corrigan of Georgetown University will take you on a tour of some of the most challenged and controversial works of literature, from the plays of Shakespeare to 21st-century best-sellers even including the dictionary and classic fairy tales. You will trace the history, in the United States and Great Britain, of the challenges to books, the censoring of books, book bans, and even burnings. You will explore the common reasons books have been and continue to be banned, including profanity, heresy, illicit or sexual content, racism, violence, and more. And you ll consider the shifting trends in why books are challenged.

    Books wouldn t be a target of censorship and banning if they weren t so powerful, right? Ironically, as you ll see throughout these lectures, sometimes the best way to publicize a book, increasing both its audience and securing its legacy, is to attempt to ban it.

    Moral Misgivings and Contested Classics

    Attempts at censorship have existed since the printing press made books and printed materials widely available in the 15th century. While headlines about book banning today are often centered on works within a school system or a local library, some books have been found so troubling or offensive they were put on trial for obscenity or outright banned at the national level. These legal battles and bans often had long-lasting repercussions for the concept of free speech. Some of these works include

    Ulysses by James Joyce was published in book form in 1922. It was promptly banned as obscene throughout most of the English-speaking world, for over a decade, before it was tried (and appealed) in court.
    Lady Chatterley s Lover by D. H. Lawrence was published in 1929. Lawrence s frank depictions of sexuality caused trouble for him throughout his career, but this novel was especially controversial and was heavily censored for decades and finally put on trial in the 1950s.
    Howl by Allen Ginsberg was published with several other poems by Ginsberg in a small booklet in 1956. Later called the poem that would change America, Howl resulted in its publisher being charged with obscenity in 1957, and the trial made Ginsberg into a literary celebrity.
    Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov was first published in 1955 and was banned in numerous countries due to its disturbing subject matter. However, it became an instant best-seller in the United States thanks to the controversy it stirred up. It continues to be one of the most challenged and banned books today.
    Forever by Judy Blume was published in 1975. Though it never went to trial for obscenity, this classic of young adult (YA) literature has been consistently challenged over the years for its frank discussion of sexuality. And, it isn t the only title of Blume s to receive this treatment. She is considered one of the most challenged and banned authors in the United States.
    Many of these works went on to be considered literary classics and are often taught as part of college English classes. A rise in popularity following public attempts at censorship is actually quite common, as you will see in reactions to the Harry Potter book series and Salman Rushdie s novel The Satanic Verses.

    While you will meet many authors who took a stand against censorship, such as Thomas Morton the author of America s first banned book and a symbol of early American resistance to the religious and political status quo you will also be introduced to a number of authors and creators who have altered or destroyed their own work. In some cases, as Maureen highlights, this desire to make their own work disappear comes out of a sense of shame or frustration, but sometimes these texts are destroyed by concerned friends and family after an author s death.

    Protecting the Children?

    One of the primary reasons given for censoring literature is, in the words of 19th-century purity crusader Anthony Comstock, to protect the youth. So, it should come as little surprise that books written for children and young adults are some of the most challenged, censored, and banned books in the United States and Great Britain.

    Common wisdom indeed, common sense holds that malleable young minds should be protected from material that s age inappropriate sexually or otherwise. But the question of which narratives and images fall into that category of inappropriate has been the focus of fierce controversy, as well as more than a few moments of absurdity. To cover even a little of the rich and complex history of challenging children s literature, Maureen focuses three lectures exclusively on kid s stories and touches on many time periods and genres, from classic fairy tales to surrealist Victorian adventures to graphic novels featuring an underwear-clad superhero.

    Along the way, you will also see how books that have been widely accepted as part of school English literature programs works like The Catcher in the Rye, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, and To Kill a Mockingbird, among others continue to also find their way onto lists of challenged and banned books. Likewise, you will see how the battles over the great American novel are part of a larger conflict over what is representative of the nation and its pluralistic roots.

    What s Old Is New Again

    The challenging, censorship, and even destruction of works found to be offensive or threatening to the status quo is not new, but the nature of 21st-century communication and politics has certainly influenced the way books are evaluated and judged today. The rise of social media has blurred the line between an author s work and their private life, while it has also given readers and would-be critics a platform to make their voices heard. And social justice movements have brought race, sexual identity, and other issues to the forefront of the consideration of literature and its influence on culture.

    These new elements certainly influence how we approach censorship now, and yet many of the complaints brought against books today are not so different from the criticism of a century (or several) earlier. And the taboo and forbidden nature of banned books has its own special appeal for the human psyche as well, making literary censorship an especially complicated and fascinating subject. As you consider the broader history of book censorship, you will hopefully find yourself thinking more rigorously about your own views on intellectual freedom and the right to read.

    At its height, the Roman Empire spanned nearly two million square miles, extending over three continents, and including a large fraction of the ancient world s population. From Spain to the Middle East, from the Sahara to the Balkans, Roman civilization flourished, enhanced almost everywhere by architectural and artistic wonders

    At its height, the Roman Empire spanned nearly two million square miles, extending over three continents, and including a large fraction of the ancient world s population. From Spain to the Middle East, from the Sahara to the Balkans, Roman civilization flourished, enhanced almost everywhere by architectural and artistic wonders. Two thousand years later, it s still possible to experience many of these marvels, including

    The Roman Forum: Relics of the empire turn up everywhere in Rome. Some of the most magnificent are in the Forum, the center of Roman civic life, with temples, triumphal arches, commemorative columns, and other monuments evoking imperial glory.
    M rida: This Spanish city was one of the most important in the empire and has many surviving structures, including a remarkable theater complex and a stone arched bridge extending nearly half a mile the longest extant span from Roman times.
    Petra: Hidden in the Jordanian desert, this ancient Nabataean city shows how Roman culture blended with even older traditions. After taking control, the Romans added their usual civic improvements alongside mysterious local structures.
    Taking you on a video tour of these and other sights and adventures, archaeologist Darius Arya brings the ancient world to life in Traveling the Roman Empire. Shot on location in Rome, Spain, Morocco, the Balkans, and elsewhere, the eight half-hour episodes are ideal for previewing possible destinations for your own travels, or you can simply sit back and bask in the glories of antiquity from the comforts of home.

    Much more than a guide to must-see attractions, this series introduces you to Roman history and the societies that coexisted with Rome or replaced it after the disintegration of the empire. You discover how modern cities such as Seville and Belgrade, not to mention Rome itself, are a rich mix of cultures built on Classical, Christian, Islamic, or other civilizations. Further, Darius interviews current inhabitants who are still adhering to ancient practices.

    An Expert Tour Guide

    With a first name tracing to ancient Persian kings, Darius is an archaeologist in the T. E. Lawrence and Indiana Jones mold, immersing himself in the languages, religions, technologies, economies, and customs of the lands of the Roman Empire. His engaging expertise has been widely featured in television documentaries and online seminars. One common passion of archaeologists is to embrace the daily life of the countries where they do their research. In this spirit, Darius has much to say about the local cuisine, street life, and scenery of the sites he visits. He also demonstrates the athletic opportunities, riding horseback in Spain; rowing on the Tiber in Rome; rock climbing in Jordan; and swimming, boating, and diving in the Adriatic Sea all in pursuit of authentic ancient experiences.

    Throughout Traveling the Roman Empire Darius puts the ruins he tours in context. Often the encounter with an archaeological site can be confusing, and it takes a leap of the imagination to see the place as it once was. Darius provides that creative spark, enlivening locations such as these

    Diocletian s Palace: After bringing renewed stability to the empire in the 3rd century, the Emperor Diocletian built a coastal fortress retirement home in his native Dalmatia. Today, it is a vivid, immersive experience in the life of a Roman potentate.
    Volubilis: This well-preserved Roman frontier town in Morocco has the remains of sprawling villas, each with a mythology-themed floor mosaic. Darius translates some of the city s abundant inscriptions, where long-vanished individuals speak across the millennia.
    Jerash: Some 2,500 miles east of Volubilis, Jerash is another time-capsule of multicultural civilization. Situated in Jordan, here the arena of ancient civic life is on full display, with plazas, temples, public baths, theaters, a porticoed market, and a hippodrome.
    An Incomparable Grand Tour

    Aside from famous attractions in Rome, such as the Colosseum, Trajan s Column, and the Arch of Constantine, some of the settings in the series may look eerily familiar. That s because Star Wars, Dune, and other science fiction films were shot on location in Wadi-Rum. This alien-looking region is also called the Valley of the Moon and includes the renowned rock formation The Seven Pillars of Wisdom. In another d j -vu experience, visit Diocletian s Palace, which was the backdrop for scenes in the television series Game of Thrones.

    Traveling the Roman Empire is a matchless grand tour covering an astonishing range of landscapes, cultures, and history. Even if you have explored many of these places before, Darius will give you fresh insights and a new appreciation for the remarkable achievements of a single-minded city on the Tiber that had the vision, discipline, and institutions to conquer the known world and make it prosper.

    Mathematics is filled with beautiful theorems that are as breathtaking as the most celebrated works of art, literature, or music

    Mathematics is filled with beautiful theorems that are as breathtaking as the most celebrated works of art, literature, or music. They are the Mona Lisas, Hamlets, and Fifth Symphonys of the field landmark achievements that repay endless study and that are the work of geniuses as fascinating as Leonardo, Shakespeare, and Beethoven. Here is a sample

    Pythagorean theorem: Although he didn't discover the Pythagorean theorem about a remarkable property of right triangles, the Greek mathematician Euclid devised an ingenious proof that is a mathematical masterpiece. Plus, it's beautiful to look at!
    Area of a circle: The formula for the area of a circle, A = r2, was deduced in a marvelous chain of reasoning by the Greek thinker Archimedes. His argument relied on the clever tactic of proof by contradiction not once, but twice.
    Basel problem: The Swiss mathematician Leonhard Euler won his reputation in the early 1700s by evaluating an infinite series that had stumped the best mathematical minds for a generation. The solution was delightfully simple; the path to it, bewilderingly complex.
    Larger infinities: In the late 1800s, the German mathematician Georg Cantor blazed the trail into the "transfinite" by proving that some infinite sets are bigger than others, thereby opening a strange new realm of mathematics.
    You can savor these results and many more in Great Thinkers, Great Theorems, 24 half-hour lectures that conduct you through more than 3,000 years of beautiful mathematics, telling the story of the growth of the field through a carefully chosen selection of its most awe-inspiring theorems.

    Approaching great theorems the way an art course approaches great works of art, the course opens your mind to new levels of math appreciation. And it requires no more than a grasp of high school mathematics, although it will delight mathematicians of all abilities.

    Your guide on this lavishly illustrated tour, which features detailed graphics walking you through every step of every proof, is Professor William Dunham of Muhlenberg College, an award-winning teacher who has developed an artist's eye for conveying the essence of a mathematical idea. Through his enthusiasm for brilliant strategies, novel tactics, and other hallmarks of great theorems, you learn how mathematicians think and what they mean by "beauty" in their work. As added enrichment, the course guidebook has supplementary questions and problems that allow you to go deeper into the ideas behind the theorems.

    An Innovative Approach to Mathematics

    Professor Dunham has been taking this innovative approach to mathematics for over a quarter-century in the classroom and in his popular books. With Great Thinkers, Great Theorems you get to watch him bring this subject to life in stimulating lectures that combine history, biography, and, above all, theorems, presented as a series of intellectual adventures that have built mathematics into the powerful tool of analysis and understanding that it is today.

    In the arts, a great masterpiece can transform a genre; think of Claude Monet's 1872 canvas Impression, Sunrise, which gave the name to the Impressionist movement and revolutionized painting. The same is true in mathematics, with the difference that the revolution is permanent. Once a theorem has been established, it is true forever; it never goes out of style. Therefore the great theorems of the past are as fresh and impressive today as on the day they were first proved.

    What Makes a Theorem Great?

    A theorem is a mathematical proposition backed by a rigorous chain of reasoning, called a proof, that shows it is indisputably true. As for greatness, Professor Dunham believes the defining qualities of a great theorem are elegance and surprise, exemplified by these cases

    Elegance: Euclid has a beautifully simple way of showing that any finite collection of prime numbers can't be complete that there is always at least one prime number left out, proving that the prime numbers are infinite. Dr. Dunham calls this one of the greatest proofs in all of mathematics.
    Surprise: Another Greek, Heron, devised a formula for triangular area that is so odd that it looks like it must be wrong. "It's my favorite result from geometry just because it's so implausible," says Dr. Dunham, who shows how, 16 centuries later, Isaac Newton used algebra in an equally surprising route to the same result.
    Great Thinkers, Great Theorems includes many lectures that are devoted to a single theorem. In these, Professor Dunham breaks the proof into manageable pieces so that you can follow it in detail. When you get to the Q.E.D. the initials traditionally ending a proof, signaling quod erat demonstrandum (Latin for "that which was to be demonstrated") you can step back and take in the masterpiece as a whole, just as you would with a painting in a museum.

    In other lectures, you focus on the biographies of the mathematicians behind these masterpieces geniuses who led eventful, eccentric, and sometimes tragic lives. For example

    Cardano: Perhaps the most bizarre mathematician who ever lived, the 16th-century Italian Gerolamo Cardano was a gambler, astrologer, papal physician, convicted heretic, and the first to publish the solution of cubic and quartic algebraic equations, which he did after a no-holds-barred competition with rival mathematicians.
    Newton and Leibniz: The battle over who invented calculus, the most important mathematical discovery since ancient times, pitted Isaac Newton mathematician, astronomer, alchemist against Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz mathematician, philosopher, diplomat. Each believed the other was trying to steal the credit.
    Euler: The most inspirational story in the history of mathematics belongs to Leonhard Euler, whose astonishing output barely slowed down after he went blind in 1771. Like Beethoven, who composed some of his greatest music after going deaf, Euler was able to practice his art entirely in his head.
    Cantor: While Vincent van Gogh was painting pioneering works of modern art in France in the late 1800s, Georg Cantor was laying the foundations for modern mathematics next door in Germany. Unappreciated at first, the two rebels even looked alike, and both suffered debilitating bouts of depression.
    Describing a common reaction to the theorems produced by these great thinkers, Professor Dunham says his students often want to know where the breakthrough ideas came from: How did the mathematicians do it? The question defies analysis, he says. "It's like asking: Why did Shakespeare put the balcony scene in Romeo and Juliet? What made him think of it?' Well, he was Shakespeare. This is what genius looks like!" And by watching the lectures in Great Thinkers, Great Theorems, you will see what equivalent genius looks like in mathematics.

    The latter half of the 20th century was a turbulent time for Vietnam. This small Southeast Asian country once occupied by France found itself divided after nationalist revolutionaries overthrew the colonial government, splitting the country between the Democratic Republic of Vietnam in the north and the Republic of Vietnam in the south

    The latter half of the 20th century was a turbulent time for Vietnam. This small Southeast Asian country once occupied by France found itself divided after nationalist revolutionaries overthrew the colonial government, splitting the country between the Democratic Republic of Vietnam in the north and the Republic of Vietnam in the south. Worse still, tensions between the two territories gave way to a decades-long civil conflict that would ensnare the likes of China, the USSR and perhaps most notably the United States.

    Dig into this globally significant and politically transformative conflict in The Vietnam War. Join expert John C. McManus as he reconstructs the Vietnam War in stunning detail. In 24 illuminating and comprehensive lectures, you will

    Examine the fall of French Indochina from the Battle of Dien Bien Phu to the Geneva Accords.
    Explore the complicated political dynamics that emerged in both North and South Vietnam after World War II.
    Investigate the details of American involvement from aerial bombing to ground combat. You will weigh the consequences both good and bad of major military operations and political decisions in Vietnam.
    Get to know the personalities and ideologies behind the conflict.
    Survey American domestic opposition to what would become an incredibly unpopular and controversial war.
    And that s not all. You will also focus on the human dimensions of the conflict in Vietnam. How did it affect ordinary people? What did combat soldiers on both sides of the struggle see, feel, do, and think while enmeshed in the throes of battle? How did veterans and refugees fare after the dust of war had settled? To what extent were women impacted by the fighting? And what did regular Americans across the political spectrum not just the politicians and most vocal peace activists really think about the war? In the end, The Vietnam War is not just a history lesson, but also an exploration of war itself and the kind of impact it can have on ordinary hearts, minds, and spirits.

    From French Colony to Socialist Republic

    The conflict in Vietnam was more complicated than popularly assumed. It was more than just a proxy war between communist and Western world powers. It was the result of unique political dynamics within the country, and Southeast Asia more broadly, coupled with the nature of American culture and society of the 1960s and 1970s and US worldwide commitments after World War II, plus individual decisions of major leaders like US President Richard Nixon and Vietnamese revolutionary Ho Chi Minh. Together with expert John C. McManus, you will explore the history of the Vietnam War by focusing on these important questions

    Who? Become acquainted with the major personalities behind the conflict s most consequential decisions and military operations. Determine how states like China, France, the United States, Cambodia, Laos, and the USSR shaped Vietnam s political destiny and military prowess in the 20th century. And understand the roles played by organizations like the Viet Cong, ARVN, and NVA within Vietnam.
    What? See what the war looked like from overall military strategies to the day-to-day routines of regular combat soldiers. Explore the breadth of tools and tech on both sides of the conflict. And determine both the short- and long-term consequences of the war within Vietnam and around the world.
    When? Piece together a blow-by-blow portrait of the conflict from its beginnings shortly after the fall of French Indochina to reunification in the 1990s. Construct a timeline of major political decisions and developments in both the United States and Vietnam. And track the erosion of support for war in the United States.
    Where? Determine where the fighting was fiercest in Vietnam. Discover why the Ho Chi Minh Trail, jungles, and underground tunnels were pivotal to Viet Cong war efforts. And explore how and to what extent the situation in Vietnam affected and even bled into neighboring countries like Laos, Cambodia, and Indonesia.
    Why? Dig deeply into the causes of war in Vietnam. Examine the nature and impact of US involvement, first in the sky and then on the ground. And zoom out to take stock of the regional and global geopolitical realities that shaped the war in the 1960s and 1970s.
    The Vietnam War pieces together a conflict that so many of us have heard of, but so few of us really understand. This course contextualizes and reconstructs the conflict, zooming in and out of a thorny, decades-long struggle with remarkable precision and efficacy. In just 24 lectures, peel back the myths that have sprung up about the war and gain a far more complete portrait of one of the most important armed conflicts of the 20th century.

    Vietnam s Unfortunate Sons

    While most people have some insight into how the war in Vietnam ended, few have reckoned with the full scale and scope of its human impact. That is, how did regular Americans not just famed leaders and starred generals view the war? What did common US combat soldiers and Vietnamese guerilla fighters experience in Vietnam? To what extent did the conflict affect women on both sides? And could veterans transition back into American society after enduring such profound physical and psychological trauma in Southeast Asia? We cannot fully understand the conflict in Vietnam if we ignore the ordinary people soldiers, peace activists, teachers, refugees, children, families bound up in and forever changed by it.

    Experience the Vietnam War from the perspective of the average US soldier and witness their everyday existence in wartime. Step into a pair of military-issued boots to see what daily life was like for a US grunt and average Viet Cong fighter. Listen to individual stories of heroism and tragedy as told by servicemen themselves. Examine the treatment of veterans who came back to America when the war was at its least popular. Look past the hippie movement and SDS to reveal a more complicated picture of domestic opposition to war in Vietnam. And see what life was like for regular Vietnamese people many who became refugees after the war.

    Ultimately, The Vietnam War expands and adds crucial detail to what you may already know about the conflict. It animates major leaders on both sides of the struggle, detailing as well as analyzing the political and military decisions they made. It pieces together a complete timeline of the war from colonial Vietnam onward. It breaks down and details the importance of key events like the Tet Offensive, My Lai Massacre, and Winter Soldier Investigation. It situates the war in its appropriate regional and global contexts. And it clarifies and humanizes a conflict that is too often seen as confused, distant, and impersonal.

    In recent decades, science has revealed that the mind and body are intimately connected in ways we haven't previously realized and this field of knowledge is now changing our understanding of health and disease. While it's easy to see that stress affects health and well-being, or that your blood pressure rises when you're angry, cutting-edge research shows that the mind-body connection goes much further.

    Numerous studies on the brain's interaction with the body demonstrate that health is directly affected by our social environments, socioeconomic status, culture, behaviors, relationships, psychological states, and habits of mind, among many factors.

    Current mind-body science reveals facts such as these

    As few as eight weeks of mindfulness meditation can meaningfully boost your immune system.

    Extreme stress and low social support increase the risk of breast cancer by a factor of 9.

    Contact with nature is correlated with numerous positive health outcomes, including improved attention for children, reduced stress, and enhanced work performance.

    Chronic hostility portends calcification of the coronary arteries, even in young people.

    Expressive writing by patients is correlated with improved outcomes for both asthma and rheumatoid arthritis.

    Mind-body medicine working in tandem with traditional medical practice makes use of a large spectrum of psychological, physical, and behavioral treatments, drawn from many disciplines, in an approach to health care that aims to treat the whole person. It provides highly effective resources for preventing and treating a wide range of medical conditions, such as cardiovascular disease, stress, cancer, and depression as well as for fostering the ultimate goals of health care: truly optimal and lasting physical health, and emotional and psychological well-being.

    A knowledge of this exciting field offers you critical understanding of the state of the art of health care and a significant new direction in medicine. But beyond valuable knowledge, a grounding in mind-body medicine gives you numerous practical, empowering tools for your own health care, as well as that of your family tools that can make a profound difference for healthful, vibrant living.

    In Mind-Body Medicine: The New Science of Optimal Health, you'll study this subject in compelling depth, with the expert guidance of Professor Jason M. Satterfield of the University of California, San Francisco. These 36 eye-opening lectures offer you a comprehensive overview of the field, providing rigorous answers to the questions of what makes us sick, what makes us well, and what we can do about it.

    You'll look closely at the anatomical and biological systems through which what is outside in the environment gets inside to affect our minds and bodies. You'll also examine recent research on subjects ranging from the impact our emotions and psychology have on health to the crucial roles that social, cultural, and behavioral factors play. And you'll learn about effective mind-body treatments for numerous common medical conditions and diseases.

    Finally, you'll finish the course with a toolbox of ideas and interventions for your personal wellness goals, empowering you to partner more effectively with your medical providers and maximize your own health.

    A Remarkable New Context for Health Care

    Professor Satterfield, a highly respected professor of clinical medicine and a specialist on the intersection of psychological factors and physical health, brings to the table his deep knowledge of mind-body science and extensive clinical experience in its application.

    In the course's opening, he introduces you to the model of biopsychosocial medicine, which looks at the relationship between biological, psychological, and social factors in health.

    In studying how the biopsychosocial model is applied in modern medicine, you delve into these core subject areas

    Biological pathways:You first investigate the anatomy and physiology of four biological systems through which the outside gets in.

    By reviewing a detailed study of the autonomic nervous system and the neuroendocrine system, discover how the brain activates the body's two stress-response systems, and how these systems crucially affect health and well-being.

    Learn also about the physiology of immune function and the effects of stress on immune response and healing.

    Study the mechanisms of genetics as well as fascinating research indicating that your behavior can alter your genetic material, for better or worse changes that can be passed on to future generations.

    Psychological factors in health: In the course of nine lectures, you look in depth at the critical ways in which psychology affects the body.

    Learn how negative emotional states such as anger and hostility can influence both the onset and progression of disease, and how positive emotions aid substantially in healing and wellness.

    Study how cognition the ways in which we think and process our experiences affects emotional states and behavior. Drawing from cognitive and other behavioral therapies, learn effective techniques for reshaping thinking, emotions, and behavior.

    Review evidence that certain personality types may be predisposed to conditions such as cardiovascular disease and depression, and learn how we can compensate for risk-carrying personality traits by working with cognitions and emotions.

    Investigate the neuroscience of behavior and the important effects of our behaviors on both disease and disease prevention.

    Look at stress as an integration of biological, cognitive, and social factors, and see how we can approach stress response and coping as a developmental skill.

    Social and ecological factors: You also study the important effects on health of factors such as culture, identity, socioeconomic status, social support, communities, and public health policy.

    Examine the studied correlations of income to health, education level to longevity, and ethnicity to susceptibility to disease, and consider how we can use this knowledge to benefit both individual and public health.

    Review research linking social support to health in many medical conditions, such as heart disease, cancer, and pregnancy; and do a detailed assessment to evaluate and strengthen your own social support network.

    Investigate how spiritual affiliations and practices have distinct physical benefits, such as reducing blood pressure, cortisol, and inflammation; improving lipid profiles and cardiovascular health; and extending life expectancy.

    Assess how physical environments affect health, how national and local culture impacts health-related behaviors, and how public initiatives can create healthier behaviors, environments, and communities.

    Tools and Strategies for Optimal Wellness

    Building on the biopsychosocial model, you study mind-body treatments for common conditions such as cardiovascular disease, stress, cancer, obesity, chronic pain, depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder.

    Here, you learn about specific practices and interventions that you can use in your own health care program, such as these.

    Stress management: For both personal and occupational stress, learn about a spectrum of stress management approaches, from cognitive restructuring and perspective shifting to meditation, breathing techniques, relaxation training, and the learnable skill of resilience.

    Strategies for successful behavior change: With reference to concerns such as lifestyle change, weight management, and disease prevention, study the leading models of effective behavior change, as well as specific approaches such as the strategies of motivational interviewing, the four key elements of change, and the internal skills of self-regulation.

    Heart disease prevention and treatment: Survey psychosocial interventions for heart disease, including a range of behavior change approaches, stress and emotion management, somatic quieting, social connection, and dramatic evidence that cardiac disease can be reversed through lifestyle change.

    Treatment of pain: Study mind-body factors in pain experience, and learn about treatments including cognitive and behavior change, acupuncture, mindfulness-based stress reduction, and biofeedback.

    Fatigue, headaches, insomnia: Investigate the variety of medical conditions that show no clear organic cause, such as chronic fatigue, tension headaches, and sleep disorders; and review effective psychological, physical, and behavioral approaches to treatment.

    Professor Satterfield's teaching combines an extraordinary breadth of knowledge, clear and accessible explanations of the science involved, and a highly compassionate approach to patient care. He enriches the lectures with stories and case studies of patients in treatment for stress, heart conditions, insomnia, trauma, and other health challenges, showing you what mind-body medicine looks like in clinical practice and how you can integrate its lessons into your health program and daily life.

    With the knowledge and tools you'll learn in Mind-Body Medicine: The New Science of Optimal Health, you can begin your own biopsychosocial assessment, identify your strengths and challenges in partnership with your medical providers, and take authentic steps toward your fullest physical and mental wellness.
