It lasted less than ten seconds, but it changed gaming forever. Evo 2004. Daigo Umehara vs. Justin Wong. One pixel of health left. A super move unleashed. And then, the impossible happened."The Moment 37" is a deep dive into the most iconic highlight in competitive gaming history: The Daigo Parry. It dissects the mechanics, the psychology, and the sheer audacity required to parry 15 consecutive hits with zero margin for error in front of a screaming crowd.But this book is more than just one clip. It is the story of the grassroots fighting game community (FGC), the rivalry between Japan and the USA, and the moment video games transitioned from a pastime to a spectator sport. It captures the electricity of the arcade era and the spirit of competition that drives players to mastery.

"Im not influenced by commercials. I see right through them. But my neighbors? They believe everything they hear." If you have ever thought this, you have fallen for the Third-Person Effect.This psychological phenomenon explains a massive paradox in our society: We believe mass media has a terrifying power over "the masses," while simultaneously believing we are immune to it. This illusion drives censorship (we must ban this to protect them), fuels polarization (how can they be so brainwashed?), and makes us vulnerable to manipulation because we lower our own guards."The Third-Person Illusion" dissects how this bias shapes internet regulation, political discourse, and marketing. It challenges the reader to accept an uncomfortable truth: You are the masses. You are the target. And the advertising you think is "too stupid to work" is working on you precisely because you think you are too smart for it.

A atual crise ambiental e social demanda uma reflexo a respeito do estado vigente do mundo.

The Wreck of the Titan is a haunting maritime tale that blends adventure, fatalism, and prophetic unease. The novel follows John Rowland, a disillusioned former naval officer whose life has unraveled. Fate places him aboard the Titan, the largest and most technologically advanced ship ever builtcelebrated as "unsinkable," a symbol of human arrogance, and a floating empire of luxury for the elite.What begins as a routine voyage becomes an existential descent when the Titan strikes an iceberg in the North Atlantic, plunging passengers and crew into chaos. Amid the catastrophe, Rowland confronts both the physical terror of the sinking and the moral wreckage of his own past. His desperate rescue of a young girl becomes a fragile thread of redemption woven through the icy darkness.Published fourteen years before the Titanic disaster, Robertsons novel is steeped in eerie parallels that continue to fascinate readers. More than a prediction, it is a meditation on hubris, power, and the thin boundary between human brilliance and human downfall. Atmospheric, philosophical, and deeply suspenseful, The Wreck of the Titan remains a cornerstone of speculative maritime fiction.

In 1839, the United States and Great Britain almost went to war over trees. The border between Maine and New Brunswick was undefined, and valuable timberland lay in the disputed zone. When Canadian lumberjacks started chopping down "American" pines, the Governor of Maine sent in the militia.This is the story of the Aroostook War, affectionately known as the "Pork and Beans War" due to the soldiers diet. It involved angry lumberjacks, a massive deployment of troops, and a lot of posturing, but miraculously, zero combat deaths. The only casualties were two soldiers who froze to death and a cow that was shot by mistake."The Pork and Beans War" is a humorous yet fascinating look at how close two allies came to bloodshed over resources. It highlights the power of diplomacy (and a convenient map fraud) in resolving the conflict, ultimately defining the peculiar northeastern border of the USA.

Light Year by Jennifer Wong is a meditation on time. These poems delve into the mind of a poet crossing spaces of deep wounds, love and healing: a constellation of friendships and love as she moves through upheaval, transformation and change.The collection offers glimpses into the journeys of a migrant, a daughter, and a mother; with the passage of years, the poems ask what it might mean to move like light itself, beyond expectations and into new ways of understanding ourselves more profoundly. With sublime precision, Jennifer Wongs poetry brings clarity to the spaces between the stars the time difference between memories and place, between our loved ones, and everything we hold dear in life.A Poetry Book Society Recommendation
