Defying all prevailing military practice—and the laws of physics—the select group believed soldiers could wear invisibility cloaks, pass through walls, and perhaps kill goats just by looking at them. This was the First Earth Battalion. And they weren't kidding.\n To write this narrative, Ronson interviewed the main characters in this curious story and traced the evolution of the bizarre activities that took place within the secret unit over the past three decades. Through connections and associations, the author shows that these practices remain alive in the Department of Homeland Security and in post-war Iraq.","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47159336337660,"sku":"9788501088277","price":64.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/9197\/5420\/files\/37ffb835bce0103d3c81c2055102db91.jpg?v=1778319765"},{"product_id":"o-teste-do-psicopata","title":"The Psychopath Test","description":"NEW BOOK FROM THE AUTHOR OF THE MEN WHO STARED GOATS.

In Humiliated, Jon Ronson explores one of humanity's most devastating, yet underappreciated, forces: humiliation. Drawing on testimonies and experiences gathered worldwide over the past three years, Ronson narrates, with his unique sense of humor, how social media facilitates the judgment of others, resurrecting and intensifying the practice of public humiliation. By addressing multiple dimensions of the virtual sphere, the author demonstrates how the mechanisms of embarrassment work, both from the perspective of those who experience it and those who cause the feeling of shame. Furthermore, he exposes the hypocrisy of the humiliating attitude of those who engage in online bullying—a paradoxical gesture, yet consistent with a civilization that hides its own flaws and seeks to accentuate the shortcomings of others. Therefore, Humiliated is a must-read, which will make the reader rethink how they relate to each other within the hyperconnected society and how they position themselves in mass media. \"Jon Ronson is one of the greatest masters of humor working today.\" — Will Self, Guardian \"Ronson is a dogged and fearless reporter whose sharp sense of humor doesn't diminish the integrity of his journalism.\" — Sunday Times \"Funny and thought-provoking.\" — Financial Times \"Frightening and hilarious. Ronson's trademark lighthearted writing makes for a delightful read.\" — Independent","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47175529038076,"sku":"9788576849490","price":64.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/9197\/5420\/files\/87af475b439c63af5e8ae6fc93b9a440_380d6f6c-d342-4039-8ef6-0583f105c6de.jpg?v=1783699836"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.record.com.br\/en\/collections\/jon-ronson.oembed","provider":"Editora Record","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
