Описание:

We're all conspiracy theorists. Some of us just hide it better than others.

In Suspicious Minds, Rob Brotherton decodes the psychology, history, and consequences of conspiracism, and delves into the research that offers insights into why so many of us are drawn to implausible, unproven and un-provable conspiracy theories. They resonate with some of our brain's built-in quirks and foibles, and tap into some of our deepest desires, fears, and assumptions about the world.

Conspiracy theorists do not wear tin-foil hats (for the most part). They are not just a few kooks lurking on the paranoid fringes of society with bizarre ideas about shape-shifting reptilian aliens running society in secret. They walk among us. They are us. Everyone loves a good conspiracy. Yet conspiracy theories are not a recent invention. And they are not always a harmless curiosity.

The fascinating and often surprising psychology of conspiracy theories tells us a lot--not just why we are drawn to theories about sinister schemes, but about how our minds are wired and, indeed, why we believe anything at all. Conspiracy theories are not some psychological aberration--they're a predictable product of how brains work. This book will tell you why, and what it means. Of course, just because your brain's biased doesn't always mean you're wrong. Sometimes conspiracies are real. Sometimes, paranoia is prudent.

Описание:

Velda Brotherton uncovers the cancer of one town's deepest secrets in the Twist of Poe Mystery that started it all... The Purloined Skull.

Buried skeletons don't often turn up in sleepy little Cedarton, Arkansas--especially not the headless kind. Reporter Jessie West is assigned the story, but she has some skeletons of her own she's hoping not to unearth. Her journalistic instincts, however, are impossible to ignore, and she's soon hot on the trail of a possible suspect. Her investigation drives her headlong into newly-hired Deputy Sheriff Dallas Starr, a sexy Cherokee lawman with the ability to read the emotional echoes left at the scene of a violent crime. Dal's seen firsthand how nosy reporters are willing to ruin lives and reputations for a big scoop, and he wants nothing to do with Jessie or her amateur detective act. Passions flare inside the bedroom and out as they collide in the midst of the biggest thing to happen in Grace County in decades.

When Jessie receives a series of bizarre threats on her life, she has to decide if she's close to exposing the killer, or if her past has finally caught up with her. Will she and Dal find the answer in time, or will the secret of the purloined skull destroy them all?

Описание: This book takes a critical, interdisciplinary, and transnational look at immigration enforcement. It connects neoliberal governance, global labor markets, and the national obsession with securing borders to recast deportation, detention, and border-control policies in the United States and worldwide in terms of a decades-long "age of punishment."

Описание:

After being convicted of thirteen barbarous murders--including that of his pregnant wife--Eric Adair has been sentenced to spend the remainder of his life alone in a cell at the Institute for the Criminally Insane. The only problem is that Eric hasn't been alone in a very long time.

Eric's soul has been possessed by an ancient demon who has spent years twisting the young man's mind, forcing him into actions that satisfy his own evil whims... urges that have long gone unsated with Eric's incarceration. But now the demon is looking for a new soul to corrupt... and wants Eric's help to do it.

Lenore Maine is a beautiful young woman, haunted by her mother's death. Those around her share Lenore's fear that the madness she believes runs in her family is now coming for her. But her mother's death may not be the only thing haunting her nights. Are her dreams of passion and pain real, or is Lenore plagued by something worse than she ever imagined? And will Lenore succumb to the horrors of possession or does she alone have the strength to bring an end to the demon's long reign of terror?

And what will become of Eric in the process? Will the demon keep his promise to release Eric in exchange for Lenore or will his soul be damned forever?
