The Fear Knot - Natashia Swalve, Ruth DeFoster

Why do we fear Halloween candy but not vending machines? Why do “witch hunts” recur so often in history? How dangerous are serial killers, really?The Fear Knot examines our most common deeply held fears, unpacking which are valid and which are misguided, explaining the history of how our irrational fears developed, and how we can unlearn them. We live in a world seemingly rife with danger, a villainous stranger or new deadly bacteria lurking around every corner. So how do we sort through these fears, determining which are well-founded and which have been manufactured? How can our biases and psychology allow these fears to overtake us, and how can we learn to think logically in a world driven by sensationalism? In this lively and timely tour, neuroscientist Natashia Swalve and journalism professor Ruth DeFoster lead readers through the history and psychology behind our most visible and sensational cultural fears, beginning with the most personal—fear within our bodies—and moving outward to the home, our country, and finally to our broadest society-level fears. From micro fears, like how our fear of vaccines has led to measles epidemics, to the broad existential dread associated with climate change and gun violence, The Fear Knot ...

The Fear of the Feminine - Neumann Erich

An insightful exploration of the unconscious fear of the feminine by a pioneering Jungian psychologistErich Neumann was one of C. G. Jung’s most brilliant students and a renowned practitioner of analytical psychology in his own right. This landmark book brings together five of his most illuminating essays on feminine psychology. Neumann discusses the psychological stages of woman’s development, the moon and matriarchal consciousness, Mozart’s Magic Flute, the meaning of the earth archetype for modern times, and the fear of the feminine. He sees in Mozart’s fantastical realm a clash and true coming to terms of the matriarchal and patriarchal worlds. Reflecting a timely concern about the one-sidedness of patriarchal Western civilization, The Fear of the Feminine explains why a synthesis of the feminine and the masculine in the psychic reality of both the individual and the collective is one of the fundamental tasks of contemporary society.

By the turn of the nineteenth century there were some seventy stations within a 15-mile radius of Preston, with approximately half of these still in use in 2022. The variety of motive power to be seen at Preston over the years would rival any station in the entire UK railway network.Mike Rhodes has recorded the railway scene in the locality for over sixty-five years and has been active with a camera since just before the curtain came down on BR steam in 1968, with nearby Lostock Hall MPD being the last functioning steam shed on BR.

The Fear of Too Much Justice - James Kwak, Stephen B. Bright

The book John Grisham calls “a clear and poignant indictment of criminal injustice in America” Called “passionate and eye-opening” by Booklist, The Fear of Too Much Justice, by the legendary death penalty attorney Stephen B. Bright and legal scholar James Kwak, offers a heart-wrenching overview of how the criminal legal system fails to live up to the values of equality and justice. The book ranges from people convicted of crimes and condemned to death because of their race and poverty to poor people squeezed for cash by private probation companies because of trivial violations. Bright and Kwak also offer examples from places around the country that are making progress toward justice.With a foreword by Bryan Stevenson, and now in an accessible paperback format, this “urgent call to action . . . is an invaluable resource” (Publishers Weekly).

Relikvie - Douglas Preston, Lincoln Child - audiokniha

Audiokniha: Anotace: Rituální vražda, nebo zásah nadpřirozena? Expedice doktora Whittleseyho měla v září 1987 za úkol pátrat po ztraceném kmeni Kothogů. Místo nich však její účastníci nalezli v džungli Amazonie zkázu, a tak po celé výpravě zbylo jen pár beden artefaktů určených k archivaci. O sedm let později připravuje newyorské Muzeum dějin přírody slavnostní otevření nejvelkolepější expozice kultury přírodních národů, jakou kdy obor zaznamenal. V sázce je příliš mnoho, a proto vedení instituce nemíní připustit, aby se do hledáčků televizních reportérů dostal brutální osud dvou mladíků, kteří v budově po zavírací době našli smrt. Poručík Vincent D'Agosta ostatně věří, že vrah se nadále skrývá kdesi v suterénu muzea. Brzy se však na scéně objeví výstřední agent FBI Aloysius Pendergast a předloží vyšetřovatelům vlastní teorii. Teorii, jež se vymyká běžnému chápání – a která by se ke smůle všech zúčastněných mohla ukázat coby správná… Úspěšná série o neohroženém agentu Pendergastovi slaví v Česku už 21 vydaných dílů. Roku 1997 byl podle tohoto úvodního svazku série natočen stejnojmenný horor v režii Petera Hyamse. „Než jsme napsali Relikvii, provedli jsme rozsáhlý vědecký výzkum celosvětového problému mozkožravých příšer, které zamořují muzea. Co víc si přát?“ – Douglas Preston „Úžasně zábavné. Milovníci napětí si nemohli ... Unknown localization key: "more"
