The Dark Side of Social Media: Psychological, Managerial, and Societal Perspectives examines how social media can negatively affect our lives. The book tackles issues related to social media such as emotional and mental health, shortened attention spans, selective self-presentation and narcissism, the declining quality of interpersonal relationships, privacy and security, cyberstalking, cyberbullying, misinformation and online deception, and negative peer effects. It goes on to discuss social media and companies (loss of power, challenging control mechanisms) and societies as a whole (fake news, chatbots, changes in the workplace). The Dark Side of Social Media: Psychological, Managerial, and Societal Perspectives empowers readers to have a more holistic understanding of the consequences of utilizing social media. It does not necessarily argue that social media is a bad development, but rather serves to complement the numerous empirical findings on the "bright side" of social media with a cautionary view on the negative developments.

"Yet again Dr. Pavica Sheldon (this time with coauthors James Honeycutt and Phillipp Rauschnabel) has succeeded in making the peer-reviewed scientific literature on social media accessible to the mainstream. The Dark Side of Social Media is a compelling read rooted deeply in decades of science, and fine tuned for audiences that may be less familiar with the peer-reviewed literature, but completely familiar with the role of social media in their everyday lives. Anyone who reads this book has certainly experienced at least one if not more, or even all of the issues that it addresses. From mental and physical health to cyberstalking and bullying, to surveillance and brand attacks, to privacy concerns, to lies, rumors, and misinformation, this comprehensive work is a must-have for anyone involved in or simply interested in the various fields of communication." -- T. Phillip Madison, Ph.D., University of Louisiana - Lafayette
"The impact of social media on the wellbeing of individuals and society is a hotly debated topic. The Dark Side of Social Media, by Sheldon, Rauschnabel, and Honeycutt, provides a concise, readable, insightful overview of the vast array of research on this topic. As such, it is an invaluable resource for anyone looking to cut through the mountains of speculative opinion on these issues and find evidence based perspectives." -- Aaron Ahuvia, Department of Management Studies, University of Michigan-Dearborn College of Business
"The Dark Side of Social Media alerts us to the risks associated with individual or corporate presence on social networking sites. While acknowledging the extensive research that has found positive effects of social media, such as increased social support and social connectedness, the authors of this book review a wealth of studies that show how, in certain quantities or contexts, social media use can negatively impact our quality of life. Readers (be it students, scholars, or members of the general public) can learn about the detrimental effects of social media on their mental and physical health, self-love, privacy, romantic and friendship relationships, or reputation and brand. What makes this text particularly useful is that, in addition to pointing out problems, it also provides solutions for navigating these pitfalls and leveraging the affordabilities of social networking sites." -- Raluca Cozma, Ph.D., Associate Professor, Associate Director of Graduate Studies and Research, Kansas State University

Louise Viljoen is ’n vryskutresensent, taalpraktisyn en sommer alles wat met woorde te doen het. Haar geloof, omgee vir mense en haar sagtheid het uiting gevind in haar boek, Gesinstyd met God, wat in 2022 deur Luca gepubliseer is. Ek het met groot verwagting uitgesien na haar eerste roman, en wel in die geestelike fiksie genre. Niks kon my egter voorberei op die hou-in-maag-inpak van Toevlug nie.
In die Kongolese reënwoud word die sendingstasie waar Evert en Petro Mentz arbei, deur ekstremiste onder leiding van die wrede kolonel Ahadi Idi Nyoma, bekend as La Hyène, Die Hiëna, aangeval. Die terreur word nie versag nie, ook nie die ontsettende ontbering wat wag op Petro, wat wonderbaarlik die aanval oorleef nie. Wanneer sy uiteindelik ’n holte vir haar voet vind op Toevlug, noem sy haarself Mara, vanweë die bitterheid wat sy voel jeens die Here wat haar versaak het.
Die skrywer konfronteer haar lesers met die krisis waarmee baie mense worstel: waarom laat die Here toe dat slegte dinge met mense, selfs goeie, godsdienstige, mense, gebeur? “Op die einde gaan dit oor goed en sleg… Soms wen die slegtes en dan wen die goeies weer… Daar hoef nie redes te wees nie…” (p. 205) Mara se wroeging bring haar nie uit by ’n antwoord nie, net by die kwelvraag: “Maar wat as die Here werklik bestaan? Wat as Hy werklik is?” (p.205).
Verder word ook die kwessie aangeraak van huwelike tussen gelowiges en dié wat nie die Here volg nie. Die aanverwante storielyn van Ida en Gary lig hierdie saak uit, terwyl Ida ook haar geloof verloor het, weliswaar onder ander omstandighede.
Die storie boei enduit, maar dit is veral die gebede wat woordeliks opgeteken word, wat my telkens aan die hart geruk het. Dit is Woordgefundeer en spreek van opstandige verset en soeke na sin aan die een kant, en ernstig intree vir die redding en genesing van trauma aan die ander kant.
Die aanbieding is sinvol verdeel vanuit die oogpunte van Petro, Mara, Riaan en Ida, wat die vernaamste rolspelers is. ’n Verskeidenheid randfigure, elkeen met ’n lewensverhaal van val en oorwinning, vul die storielyn aan en maak daarvan ’n besondere leeservaring.
Toevlug, deur Louise Viljoen, is weereens ’n publikasie van Luca, die geestelike druknaam van Lapa Uitgewers.
Spannende jeugroman, naaswenner van Lapa se jeugromankompetisie
Die 2023 Lapa Jeugromankompetisiewenners se boeke is nou almal op die rakke. Die derde van die naaswenners, almal ewe boeiend, het nou in my hande beland. Annerle Barnard se inskrywing, Sterstof, is gepubliseer onder die titel, Donkerster, en is beslis een wat ek kan aanbeveel. Dit is nou as jy verby die ontstellende eerste hoofstuk kan kom.
Die skrywer deins nie terug van uitdagende onderwerpe nie. Sy hanteer onder andere kwessies soos die jag van geblikte diere, wildstroping en die algemene uitdagings van wildbewaring. Met die insig van iemand wat tieners verstaan, skryf sy oor boeliegedrag, haatpos en die isolering van tieners wat anders is as die gewilde norm. Carli Kirstein is briljant en het ’n passie vir wildbewaring. “Mamma, die enigste kere wat klasmaats my geselskap opsoek, is as hulle my vra om Wiskunde te verduidelik.” (p.31) Haar enigste vriende is haar Duitse, geek-vriendin, Hilda, en Sam, ’n albino. Die marginalisering van mense met albinisme is ’n onderwerp wat nie algemeen in romans voorkom nie en dit raak mens aan die hart. “Eintlik het elke mens ’n storie, en dis wanneer ’n mens iemand se storie hoor, dat jy besef dat jy saggies moet trap.” (p.102)
Benewens die spanning wat sommer gou-gou oploop met stropers wat al hoe nader beweeg aan Wild Cat Sanctuary, waar Carli en haar ouers betrokke is, is daar ook volatiele hartsake betrokke. Carli het byvoorbeeld gedink Wouter is haar sterstof, maar hy blyk toksies te wees. Die student, Werner, loop aanvanklik haar argwaan op die hals, en Stef, die ryk “ouer” man met die Porsche, se optrede hou mens aan die wonder.
Oor die dramatiese afloop van die krisis by Wild Cat Sanctuary gaan ek niks verklap nie. Kry gerus die boek, uitgegee deur Lapa Uitgewers, en beleef dit self.
