Sick and tired of Halloween? Me too A brief series of rants about Halloween, the most frightening day of the year, or so they say. I don’t get too excited about it and am far from its biggest fan – in Not So Spooky, you’ll discover why. These days, Halloween is a celebration of all things chilling and macabre. It shines the spotlight on people, creatures and beings that instil terror and leave you petrified. Though it sounds thrilling, there are many aspects of it that I’m sick and tired of. Costumes that don’t fit the theme and money-grubbing companies bleeding us dry are just two things I hate about Halloween. After all my venting, there is a final piece in which I speak more positively about the day and what it brings. Do you see no good in Halloween? Is it more of a nightmare than anything? If you’re after a truthful collection of opinions about the day that celebrates horror, you’ll like Not So Spooky. Buy now and read my thoughts on Halloween. You may find some of them surprising, or not.

Weird Universe
Author: David A. J. Seargent
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3319107380
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 286
Book Description
As new discoveries complicate the scientific picture of the universe, the evolving theories about the nature of space and time and the origins and fate of the universe threaten to become overwhelming. Enter David Seargent. Continuing the author's series of books popularizing strange astronomy facts and knowledge, Weird Universe explains the bizarre, complicated terrain of modern cosmology for lay readers. From exploring some of the strange consequences of the theories of special and general relativity, to probing time dilation and the twin and mother-and-baby “paradoxes” and the theory that the universe can be mathematically considered as a hologram, all of the latest findings and conjectures are clearly described in non-technical language. The development of quantum physics and the more recent developments of string and M-theory are looked at, in addition to several hypotheses that have not won wide acceptance from the scientific community, such as modified gravity. Enter the wonderfully weird world of these theories and gain a new appreciation for the latest findings in cosmological research.

Wreaking havoc with a few choice words, allowing our lives to go into meltdown and exercising a frightening amount of power. These are three things governments did in an attempt to protect us from the deadly virus. ‘The Government’ questions and criticises many decisions made by our daring leaders. – ‘The Media’. Inducing terror with overly dramatic headlines, encouraging us all to panic and making us see the harmless as hazardous. These are three things the media did while the virus continued its assault on the world. ‘The Media’ is all about the official reporting of the pandemic and how it affected our approach to it. The pandemic affected us all and changed our lives in breathtaking ways. Everyone has thoughts, opinions and beliefs to do with it. Here are mine. If you’re after a social commentary that gets you thinking about the nightmare pandemic, you’ll enjoy reading Viral.
