Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What you are about to read is dark and confronting. It represents a period, long gone, when my life collapsed, and I had no answers. Lack of purpose and immense grief pushed me into a marginal existence where life itself became irrelevant and at times I imagined death as offering the only release from pain. This is not uncommon; many people will have been through similar circumstances. Most survive and I am one of them. When I gave my draft to a good friend of mine for advice and comment she suggested that I write an introduction that showed that I had come through these events and that I had prospered. I have. At the time I saw no way through, I didn’t care to find a way through. Psychoanalysis and associated drugs, and support from friends, allowed a thinning of clouds over time. I do not believe my mind would have allowed me to rest without the release of medication and I do not believe medication would have been an option without professional help. When in a situation such as that depicted here, drugs offer a small clearance of light in a world of shadows. Yet, at the same time, I believe that trauma has a function. It slaps you in the face with a realignment of values that sometimes leads to growth. A growth partnered by change at a time when all your focus is on keeping things together; batting down the hatches to allow you to weather the storm. When the storm passes you find a new you. The first thing to suffer was business. Not only did I not care about it, but I held it partly responsible for some of the damage to my family. I was very fortunate to have some people who continued to grind away at their job, who offered support in the best way they knew how, by doing their job. It somehow survived though substantially diminished. I have never again really worked at it. The new me did not have the capacity for prolonged effort and I became a person of “projects”. Most were purely indulgent, others for gain. Enough have succeeded so that I do not have an empty box awaiting a tick. I have done OK

Nothing to follow, expect a steady stream of truisms until WHAM! you are hit with a brick of wisdom to pontificate on for the rest of your day. Examples are: I made up a test to see if you prefer cold or hot weather. The test is, would you prefer getting slapped in 20-degree weather or 100-hundred degree weather? Or fear is being so focused on the tiger that's in the corner that you miss the bear coming up behind you. Ok, that’s not funny, more of a pontification one.

This book was released on 2016-04-01 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One day in my favorite quiet coffee shop, a man showed up and told me he had chosen me to be his scribe for the answers to the questions of the Universe. Intrigued, I opened my note pad, turned on my recorder and spent the next four-and-a-half hours listening as the universe unfolded around me. When he finished talking, I was left stunned and bewildered with a new understanding of things which left me confused, enlightened and a little afraid. As the scribe for what had happened, I created this transcription of the conversation. It is a wonderful, confusing and amazing journey from the normalcy of reality into a glimpse of the universal events surrounding us and defining our lives in unimaginable ways. He used breadcrumbs found in history to rewrite it in ways that finally make sense. You experience a deep, deep love story that has made strong men weep. There was an examination of humanity from the nature of our physical selves to clues of our design and needs. It is a spiritual journey which tosses away faith for faith sake alone and replaces it with science and logic which reaffirms the reasons for the system. Finally he combined all that had gone on before in the entire conversation into cohesive presentation of the reason and nature of, well, everything! This journey has been different for every person who has previewed this book. I asked those who have read it for a way to describe it every person stumbled: "Science-fiction that isn't science-fiction" said one. "A deep, sad love story that isn't," said a second. Finally, a woman who is a Person of Talent said it best: "It is a song. There is a rhythm, a beat, a melody and each person reacts to it in ways individual to themselves." I then realized what this book is: This book is Zen. You cannot describe Zen. Zen must be experienced. The reason so many have such difficulty describing this book is because it speaks to each person differently. It Is Zen. Something Very Important: You cannot skim this book. You cannot jump to an interesting chapter title and read it without reading all the chapters before it. This conversation I was privileged to be a part of built to the conclusion based upon small blocks, characters and concepts introduced all along this journey. I will also warn you that there are words and ideas in here some may find offensive. This is the nature of free-range conversation. There are dissections of history and religions that may leave some upset. If you feel you cannot handle thoughts not given to you from an approved list of allowable thinking, you probably won't be able to handle this book. But if you are of the type that can consider each point without immediately passing judgment, this book may cause you to find strange and different views entering your thought processes. The only thing my previewers agreed on was: "You MUST publish this!" You also need to know there are two versions of this book; one for women, one for men. Both are almost exactly the same but there is a section in each which, when you read it, you'll see why the other gender need not know what is said. Read the version for your gender. It's not important enough to wonder about what the other version says. So I offer this book, this manuscript, this interview for your pleasure and your consideration. For those who can go through each doorway as they are presented, this can be a journey to Zen. It is a way to reach a point where you look around and you suddenly see the influences of the unseen upon everything around you. It becomes a way to discover a bit about the painted background that makes up our existences. For those of you who do not achieve the Zen state, my apologies. You'll probably toss this book on the pile of WTH books you've encountered from time to time. But for those who do reach the end and achieve Zen, if the end leaves you opened mouthed, I can only say: Wow! -- Right?

Book excerpt: Since the time of Hippocrates, madness has typically been viewed through the lens of disease, dysfunction, and defect. In Madness, philosopher of science Justin Garson presents a radically different paradigm for conceiving of madness and the forms that it takes. In this paradigm, which he calls madness-as-strategy, madness is neither a disease nor a defect, but a designed feature, like the heart or lungs. The book will be essential reading for philosophers of medicine and psychiatry, historians and sociologists of medicine, and mental health service users, survivors, and activists, for its alternative and liberating vision of what it means to be mad.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Foster Hirsch's Dark Side of the Screen is by far the most thorough and entertaining study of the themes, visual motifs, character types, actors, directors, and films in this genre ever published. From Billy Wilder, Douglas Sirk, Robert Aldrich, and Howard Hawkes to Martin Scorsese, Roman Polanski, and Paul Schrader, the noir themes of dread, paranoia, steamy sex, double-crossing women, and menacing cityscapes have held a fascination. The features that make Burt Lancaster, Joan Crawford, Robert Mitchum, and Humphrey Bogart into noir heroes and heroines are carefully detailed here, as well as those camera angles, lighting effects, and story lines that characterize Fritz Lang, Samuel Fuller, and Orson Welles as noir directors.For the current rediscovery of film noir, this comprehensive history with its list of credits to 112 outstanding films and its many illustrations will be a valuable reference and a source of inspiration for further research.

Book excerpt: “The entire series is simply elegant.”—Lisa Gardner, #1 New York Times bestselling author In this historical mystery from the national bestselling author of Who Slays the Wicked, the abduction and murder of a young boy takes Sebastian St. Cyr from the gritty streets of London to the glittering pleasure haunts of the aristocracy... London, 1813. One of the city's many homeless children, Benji Thatcher was abducted and murdered—and his younger sister is still missing. Few in authority care about a street urchin's fate, but Sebastian St. Cyr, Viscount Devlin, refuses to let this killer go unpunished. Uncovering a disturbing pattern of missing children, Sebastian is drawn into a shadowy, sadistic world. As he follows a grim trail that leads from the writings of the debauched Marquis de Sade to the city's most notorious brothels, he comes to a horrifying realization: Someone from society's upper echelon is preying upon the city's most vulnerable. And though dark, powerful forces are moving against him, Sebastian will risk his reputation and his life to keep more innocents from harm...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Enlightenment – both the phenomenon specific to the eighteenth century and the continuing trend in Western thought – is an attempt to dispel ignorance, achieve mastery of a potentially hostile environment, and contain fear of the unknown by promoting science and rationality. Enlightenment is often accompanied and challenged by countercultures such as German Romanticism, which explored the nature of fear and deployed it as a corrective to the excesses of rationalism. The Aesthetics of Fear in German Romanticism uncovers the formative role this movement played in the development of dark or negative aesthetics. Recovering a missing chapter in the history of the aesthetics of fear, Paola Mayer illustrates that Romanticism was a crucial transitional phase between the eighteenth-century sublime and the early twentieth-century uncanny. Mayer puts literature and philosophy in dialogue, examining how German Romantic literature employed narratives of fear to radicalize and then subvert the status quo in society, culture, and science. She traces the development of this aesthetic from its inception with pre-Romantics such as Jean Paul Richter to its end in Joseph von Eichendorff's critical retrospective, and juxtaposes canonical authors such as E.T.A. Hoffmann – the father of the modern fantastic – with writers who have previously been ignored. Today, when the dark side of science looms in the foreground, The Aesthetics of Fear in German Romanticism points to the power of a literary movement to construct competing currents of thought.
