Before 1961, many psychologists believed that watching violence drained aggressive impulses (catharsis). Albert Bandura suspected the opposite. He showed children a video of an adult beating up an inflatable "Bobo doll." When the children were later left alone with the doll, they didnt just playthey mimicked the exact violent assaults they had seen, even using guns and hammers.This book details the experiment that founded Social Learning Theory. It argues that we are not born violent, but we learn it through modeling. In an age of TikTok challenges and media violence, Banduras findings are more relevant than ever. We are the mirrors of our environment.

Em uma era marcada por crises, polarizações e mudanças sociais aceleradas, pensar politicamente tornou-se uma necessidade — e não mais uma opção. Longe das disputas partidárias e dos rótulos que satu

Gear production is undergoing a transformation. As demands for efficiency, flexibility, and sustainability continue to rise, digital technologies such as artificial intelligence, digital twins, and data-driven control systems are coming into sharper focus. But how far has this transformation progressed and where do conventional approaches still set the benchmark? The 2025 Aachen Forum on Gear Production (AFGP), organized by the Laboratory for Machine Tools and Production Engineering (WZL) of RWTH Aachen University in cooperation with the Research Association for Drive Technology (FVA), will address these questions with a special focus on the role of digitalization and AI in gear manufacturing. The program covers a broad spectrum: from AI-assisted gear design and visual analytics for tool wear, to digital process chains, multi-body simulations, and hybrid manufacturing strategies. Experts from industry and academia will present current developments, practical applications, and critical assessments of digital solutions in gear production. Participants will also have the opportunity to experience ongoing research firsthand during a guided tour of the WZL laboratories. An evening networking event will provide further space for in-depth technical exchange. AFGP 2025 offers a unique platform to discuss how digital and conventional technologies can complement each other and how gear production can evolve to meet the challenges of tomorrow.

In 1984, two men crammed eight galaxies into 22 kilobytes of memory. The game was Elite, and it proved that you didnt need to draw every star by handyou just needed the right math."The Infinite Seed" traces the history of Procedural Generation, the invisible artist behind the most expansive experiences in gaming. From the chaotic dungeons of Rogue to the infinite terrain of Minecraft and the quintillion planets of No Mans Sky, this book explores the delicate balance between chaos and order.It is a journey into the minds of developers who play god, setting rules rather than placing assets. How do you ensure a computer-generated world is interesting? How do you prevent an algorithm from building a castle upside down? This book is not just for coders, but for anyone fascinated by the concept of infinity. It reveals how simple rules can create complex beauty, and why the future of entertainment isnt about building bigger studios, but writing smarter seeds.

Before in-game tutorials and wikis, there was the manual. It wasnt just a list of controls; it was a gateway. In the 80s and 90s, when storage space on cartridges was limited, the story didnt fit on the screenit had to be printed on paper."The Paper Tutorial" is a eulogy for the physical companion to digital worlds. It explores how manuals served as copy protection (enter the word on page 7), lore bibles (who is this enemy?), and art galleries. From the thick, novel-like journals of early RPGs to the poster-maps of GTA, these booklets were an integral part of the experience, building hype on the car ride home from the store.This book analyzes the design, the writing, and the eventual death of the instruction manual in the age of digital distribution. It argues that while we gained convenience, we lost the tactile ceremony of initiation that turned a piece of plastic software into a tangible adventure.

The modern economy runs on a single, powerful engine: the feeling that you are almost there, but not quite yet. We are trained to believe that financial anxiety is a number problemthat if we just hit that next net worth milestone, the worry will evaporate."The Finish Line Mirage" exposes the psychological trap of moving goalposts. Through interviews with multimillionaires who still feel poor and middle-class families who feel abundant, it explores the elusive concept of "Enough." It argues that wealth is not a function of income, but a ratio between what you have and what you think you need.This is not a book about how to make more money; it is a book about how to keep the money you make from making you miserable. It offers a framework for defining a "Cap"a financial finish line that, once crossed, signals the shift from accumulation to utilization. Stop running a race that has no end and learn to step off the track while you still have the legs to enjoy the view.

Why do you keep watching a movie even when its bad? Why do clickbait headlines work? Why cant you sleep until you know the answer to a trivia question?The answer lies in the "Information Gap Theory." When our brain perceives a gap between what we know and what we want to know, it produces a feeling of deprivationa mental itch that must be scratched. Curiosity is not a gift; it is a hunger."The Curious Gap" explores how to hack this instinct. For students and teachers, it shows how to open gaps before trying to fill them (dont lecture, ask a mystery first). For marketers, it explains the science of the hook. Learn how to engineer curiosity in yourself and others to make learning addictive and attention automatic.

For a century, the metaphor for success was a ladder. You picked a wall, started at the bottom, and climbed until you hit the ceiling or fell off. But the walls are crumbling. The era of the single-track specialist is ending, replaced by the age of the polymorphic professional."The Career Polygon" argues that security no longer comes from a job title, but from a unique geometry of skills. It advocates for the "Portfolio Career"not just for freelancers, but for anyone who wants to survive the AI revolution. By cultivating three or four distinct, non-overlapping skills (e.g., coding + public speaking + agriculture), you create a professional shape that is impossible to automate and highly adaptable.This book provides the blueprint for constructing your own polygon. It challenges the advice to "niche down" and instead encourages you to "width out." Learn how to monetize the intersection of your interests, how to explain a complex career path to confused HR departments, and why being a "jack of all trades" is no longer an insult, but the ultimate competitive advantage.

A atual crise ambiental e social demanda uma reflexo a respeito do estado vigente do mundo. Nosso atual modelo economico, caracterizado pelo uso indiscriminado de recursos, em um processo constante de extraço, produço, uso e descarte, se mostrou ineficiente, trazendo consequencias diretas a vida no planeta. A sociedade, ao passo que esta interligada a natureza, tem o poder de modifica-la, gerando impactos que podem ser encarados como problemas sociais. Este livro, partindo de uma perspectiva teorica da economia ecologica, buscou discorrer sobre a economia circular, apontando-a como um movimento economico alternativo, que pode contribuir para a reduço dos impactos ambientais e sociais, possibilitando um cenario de mais equidade e bem-estar social.

They flew planes made of canvas and wood. They had no parachutes, no radios, and no radar. Their top speed was slower than a WWI fighter. And yet, the all-female 588th Night Bomber Regiment became the terror of the German eastern front.The Nazis called them "Nachthexen" (Night Witches) because the whooshing noise their planes made when they cut their engines to glide silently over targets sounded like a witchs broomstick. This book tells the incredible true story of young Soviet women, many barely out of their teens, who dropped 23,000 tons of bombs on the invading army.Facing skepticism from their own male comrades and deadly flak from the Germans, they flew up to 18 missions a night, freezing in open cockpits. "The Night Witches" is a story of grit, ingenuity, and the sheer terror of silent warfare in the dark. It explores how these women turned their obsolete equipment into a stealth advantage and carved their names into aviation history.

Long before NFTs and crypto-art, a student named Alex Tew had an idea: sell 1 million pixels on a webpage for $1 each. It sounded stupid. It was stupid. And it made him a millionaire in months."The Million Dollar Pixel" traces the history of digital scarcity. It connects the dots between the "Million Dollar Homepage" of 2005, the insane real-money economy of Second Life, the $600,000 virtual planet sold in Entropia Universe, and the modern craze of CS:GO skins.Why do humans assign value to intangible coordinates on a server? This book explores the economics of status, the psychology of ownership in a post-material world, and the thin line between a digital collectible and a "greater fool" scam. It is a deep dive into the weirdest markets on earth, where a JPEG of a rock can cost more than a house.
