Exorcism! by Peter Underwood

About Exorcism! by Peter Underwood :
An investigation into the truths and myths behind an age-old ceremony.
Throughout history, the practice of exorcism has been used for the purpose of driving out evil spirits and demons though to possess human beings and the places they inhabit. But there are more startling instances where exorcism has been used: to cure a trawler that seemed to be cursed; to expel demons from Bram Stoker's black 'vampire' dog' even to rid Loch Ness and the Bermuda Triangle of their evil ambience. Peter Underwood explores this frightening ritual in relation to witches, vampires and animals, while his far-flung researches have unearthed dramatic cases in Morocco, Egypt, South Africa and the United States, as well as the British Isles.
Is the rite an archaic throwback, wrongly employed in cases of mental disturbance which would be better served by psychological counselling, or is evil indeed a living force which can be overcome by the power of good? Exorcism! offers some thought-provoking insights into a mysterious and powerful phenomenon.

The Circus by Jonas Karlsson
epub | 987.65 KB | English | Jonas Karlsson | 2019 | Hogarth | Page: 180
About The Circus by Jonas Karlsson :
A real-life vanishing act leaves one man looking for his missing friend in this Kafkaesque new novel from the author of The Room and The Invoice.
NAMED ONE OF THE MOST ANTICIPATED BOOKS OF 2020 BY The New York Times • BookRiot* • The A.V. Club • Gizmodo
The gentle, off-beat narrator of The Circus is perfectly content with his quiet life. By day he works in a bakery, and by night he obsessively organizes and reorganizes his record collection: it's all just the way he likes it. But when his childhood friend Magnus comes calling out of the blue, the contours of our narrator's familiar world begin to shift. On a visit to the circus together, Magnus volunteers to participate in the magician's disappearing act, and midway through the routine he vanishes. Is this part of the act? What's happened to Magnus? And who is it calling on the phone in the dead of night, breathing into the receiver, but never saying a word?
Smart, sharply unsettling, and with its sleight of hand exquisitely kept, The Circus is a funhouse mirror of a read-one that ingeniously reveals the way we see ourselves and the stories we tell.
Review
"A pithy and sagacious jaunt into an uncanny reality . . . Karlsson's knack for Kafkaesque surrealism and suspense is wonderfully paired with sardonic humor and a deeply sympathetic protagonist. This excellent, clever yarn is Karlsson's best yet." - Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"A book that fully embraces the weirdness of its characters, and Karlsson is a master of that sort of tomfoolery." - Book Riot
About the Author
Jonas Karlsson is the author of The Room and The Invoice. One of Sweden's most prominent actors, Karlsson has performed on Sweden's premier stage and in several acclaimed feature films and television series. In 2005, Karlsson made his debut as a playwright, earning rave revie from audiences and critics alike. Spurred by the joy of writing for the stage, Karlsson began writing fiction.

About Anatomy of Steampunk The Fashion of Victorian Futurism :
From formal outfits to costumes crafted for the stage, from ensembles suited to adventure to casual street styles, steampunk fashion has come to encompass quite a few different looks. But what exactly is steampunk? Originally conceived as a literary genre, the term 'steampunk' described stories set in a steam-powered, science fiction-infused, Victorian London. Today steampunk has grown to become an aesthetic that fuels many varied art forms. Steampunk has also widened its cultural scope. Many steampunk practitioners, rather than confining their vision to one European city, imagine steam-driven societies all over the world.Today the vibrance of steampunk inspires a wide range of individuals, including designers of high fashion, home sewers, crafters, and ordinary folks who just want to have fun. Steampunk fashion is not only entertaining, dynamic, and irreverent; it can also be colorful, sexy, and provocative. Most of all, steampunk fashion is accessible to everyone. Illustrated throughout, with color photographs of the dazzling creations of numerous steampunk fashion designers, Anatomy of Steampunk is an inspirational sourcebook. In addition to presenting the looks and stories of these creative fashion artists, the book also details ten steampunk projects for the reader to try at home. Allow steam to power your imagination!

Overkill When Modern Medicine Goes Too Far by Paul A Offit
epub | 1.56 MB | English | Paul A. Offit, M.D. | 2020 | HarperCollins | Page: 293
About Overkill When Modern Medicine Goes Too Far by Paul A Offit :
An acclaimed medical expert and patient advocate offers an eye-opening look at many common and widely used medical interventions that have been shown to be far more harmful than helpful. Yet, surprisingly, despite clear evidence to the contrary, most doctors continue to recommend them.
Modern medicine has significantly advanced in the last few decades as more informed practices, thorough research, and incredible breakthroughs have made it possible to successfully treat and even eradicate many serious ailments. Illnesses that once were a death sentence, such as HIV and certain forms of cancer, can now be managed, allowing those affected to live longer, healthier lives. Because of these advances, we now live 30 years longer than we did 100 years ago.
But while we have learned much in the preceding decades that has changed our outlook and practices, we still rely on medical interventions that are vastly out of date and can adversely affect our health. We...

About Becoming Wild by Carl Safina :
New York Times bestselling author Carl Safina brings readers close to three non-human cultures-what they do, why they do it, and how life is for them.
Some people insist that culture is strictly a human feat. What are they afraid of? This book looks into three cultures of other-than-human beings in some of Earth's remaining wild places. It sho how if you're a sperm whale, a scarlet macaw, or a chimpanzee, you too experience your life with the understanding that you are an individual in a particular community. You too are who you are not by genes alone; your culture is a second form of inheritance. You receive it from thousands of individuals, from pools of knowledge passing through generations like an eternal torch. You too may raise young, know beauty, or struggle to negotiate a peace. And your culture, too, changes and evolves. The light of knowledge needs adjusting as situations change, so a capacity for learning, especially...

Jean des Cars, Dictionnaire amoureux des monarchies
epub | 1.47 MB | French | Jean Des Cars | 2019 | Plon | Page: 464
About Jean des Cars, Dictionnaire amoureux des monarchies :
En 2019, une vingtaine de pays ont à leur tête un souverain ou une souveraine. D'Europe, d'Asie d'Afrique, héréditaires ou électives, constitutionnelles ou absolues, passées ou présentes, Jean des Cars vous initie aux secrets de dynasties, de familles et de personnages qui ont incarné un pays soit par naissance, soit par la force, voire par hasard...
Alors que l'Union Européenne est souvent hostile à rappeler ses traditions historiques, dix Etats européens conservent, fièrement, un régime politique ancré dans le passé, celui des monarchies héréditaires constitutionnelles ou parlementaires. C'est le point commun entre la Belgique, le Danemark, la Suède, la Norvège, les Pays-Bas, le Luxembourg, le Liechtenstein, Monaco, le Royaume-Uni et l'Espagne. Certains monarques sont déjà entrés dans l'histoire par la longévité de leur règne comme celui d'Elizabeth II, souveraine puis 67 ans.
Des héritières et héritiers, bien préparés à leur fonction, sont prêts à assurer des transitions paisibles dans l'enthousiasme des peuples. Si le principe royal reste encore efficace et soutenu aujourd'hui, c'est probablement par la façon dont une dynastie remplit son mandat. Un royaume, un grand-duché ou une principauté ne sont pas soumis aux élections de chef d'Etat, à la durée d'un mandat ou à une campagne électorale. L'incarnation de l'Etat n'y est pas remise en question. Sauf révolution...
Que son pouvoir soit limité à une pure représentation ou intervenant sur la vie publique, le souverain décède sur le trône ou abdique, ce régime étant plus sévère que d'autres puisque la sanction est sans appel. Si les monarchies de l'ancienne Europe sont un exemple de stabilité, elles ne sont pas les seules.
Les monarchies du Proche et du Moyen-Orient jouent un rôle à part mais d'une importance croissante. Tour à tour décriées ou présentées comme des garantes d'un équilibre fragile, elles puisent souvent leur légitimité dans un contexte international complexe. Le Japon, qui demeure le dernier empire existant au XXIe siècle, démontre que loin d'être une survivance surannée, l'institution impériale reste cruciale. Les Japonais, qui n'oseraient critiquer l'existence même de la maison impériale, sont témoins de l'accession du 126e empereur de la plus vieille dynastie du monde, supposée remonter à 2 600 ans.

About Education, Training and Labour Market Outcomes in Europe :
The contributions collected in this volume take a fresh look at the traditional debate on education, training and labour market outcomes. The quality of education is difficult to measure in the education market and does not always find clear recognition in the labour market. The book provides new empirical evidence on these themes, including data specifically relating to Italy and the UK.

The Last Emperox by John Scalzi
epub | 468 KB | English | Scalzi, John | 2020 | Tom Doherty Associates | Page: 308
About The Last Emperox by John Scalzi :
The Last Emperox is the thrilling conclusion to the award-winning, New York Times and USA Today bestselling Interdependency series, an epic space opera adventure from Hugo Award-winning author John Scalzi.
The collapse of The Flow, the interstellar pathway between the planets of the Interdependency, has accelerated. Entire star systems-and billions of people-are becoming cut off from the rest of human civilization. This collapse was foretold through scientific prediction . . . and yet, even as the evidence is obvious and insurmountable, many still try to rationalize, delay and profit from, these final days of one of the greatest empires humanity has ever known.
Emperox Grayland II has finally wrested control of her empire from those who oppose her and who deny the reality of this collapse. But "control" is a slippery thing, and even as Grayland strives to save as many of her people form impoverished isolation, the forces opposing her rule will make a final, desperate push to topple her from her throne and power, by any means necessary. Grayland and her thinning list of allies must use every tool at their disposal to save themselves, and all of humanity. And yet it may not be enough.
Will Grayland become the savior of her civilization . . . or the last emperox to wear the crown?

Mistresses Sex and Scandal at the Court of Charles II by Linda Porter

About Mistresses Sex and Scandal at the Court of Charles II by Linda Porter :
According to the great diarist, John Evelyn, Charles II was 'addicted to women', and throughout his long reign a great many succumbed to his charms. Clever, urbane and handsome, Charles presided over a hedonistic court, in which licence and licentiousness prevailed.
Mistresses is the story of the women who shared Charles's bed, each of whom wielded influence on both the politics and cultural life of the country. From the young king-in-exile's first mistress and mother to his first child, Lucy Walter, to the promiscuous and ill-tempered courtier, Barbara Villiers. From Frances Teresa Stuart, 'the prettiest girl in the world' to history's most famous orange-seller, 'pretty, witty' Nell Gwynn and to her fellow-actress, Moll Davis, who bore the last of the king's fifteen illegitimate children. From Louise de Kéroualle, the French aristocrat - and spy for Louis XIV - to the sexually ambiguous Hortense Mancini. Here, too, is the forlorn and humiliated Queen Catherine, the Portuguese princess who was Charles's childless queen.
Drawing on a wide variety of original sources, including material in private archives, Linda Porter paints a vivid picture of these women and of Restoration England, an era that was both glamorous and sordid.
