People have long been shooting small stones and carefully rounded bullets of clay, glass, steel, and lead from weapons without using gunpowder. And the bow and arrow has been man's choice all over the world and throughout history at times when modern firearms have been unavailable or unsuitable. In America, there is currently an explosion of interest in making primitive archery tackle--wooden bows, flint arrowheads, natural fiber strings. The author has made and shot flint-tipped arrows from many bows of his own making. He first noticed, twenty years ago, that no one has written a book on catapults, and started to keep records of his own experiments in that and other related fields, leading to this book, which explores many of the ways, old and new, in which people have shot bullets by force of their own muscles.

"You earnestly try to make friends but are ignored; You aim to achieve great things but are underestimated; You go to great lengths to connect with others, yet they remain indifferent to you. Others fail to see your value, leaving you feeling unappreciated; Your strengths are not recognized, rendering you ineffective; You feel like an unnoticed shadow, lacking presence in the crowd. If you can't address these issues, you become the problem! Being frequently ignored and feeling invisible in this era of social capital is incredibly daunting. Interpersonal relationships, simply put, involve how you treat others and how they respond to you; handling complex situations: what to say in various scenarios, and what strategies to use in different circumstances. 'A Practical Guide to Social Psychology' explains the strategies and techniques of social interactions."
