Supernatural
Author: Clay Routledge
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0190629428
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 241
Book Description
Humans--even those who consider themselves secular or atheists--are utterly seduced by supernatural beliefs. Clay Routledge, an experimental social psychologist who grew up in a deeply religious environment, argues that belief or trust in forces beyond our understanding is natural and rooted in our fears of death. In Supernatural: Death, Meaning, and the Power of the Invisible World, Routledge argues that supernatural thinking is adaptive, even healthy, and that it should unite and not divide us.

Surviving Sibling Loss: The Invisible Thread that Connects Us Through Life and Death
Author: Dawn DiRaimondo, Psy.D.
Publisher: Outskirts Press
ISBN: 1977228836
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 116
Book Description
In a world that doesn’t understand or want to talk much about grief, losing a sibling changes someone forever. Grieving siblings often feel very alone, as much of the focus and support is geared toward their parents. With limited vocabulary to express grief, people can be left with the feeling that a piece of them has died too.
In 2004, clinical psychologist, Dawn DiRaimondo, suddenly lost her 22-year-old brother, Michael, who was serving as a flight medic in Iraq when his helicopter was shot down. This life-altering event compelled Dr. DiRaimondo to build a practice specializing in helping her clients through the most difficult of losses: children, young parents, siblings, and spouses. Surviving Sibling Loss interweaves both her story of losing her own brother with clinical insights into the impact of significant grief and loss in one’s life. This book will help surviving siblings feel validated and understood, as well as provide a number of ways to both cope, and honor their sibling. Surviving Sibling Loss is powerful, raw and heartfelt. It’s a must-have resource for anyone who has lost a sibling and for the people in their life—partners, friends, parents, even clinicians—who want to better support them.

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 253
Book Description
Two novelettes about madmen who want to conquer the world. The Beetle Horde was the cover story for the initial issue of Astounding Stories in January 1930. The Invisible Death was the cover story for Astounding Stories in the October 1930 issue.

Chapter I – Dodd’s Discovery Chapter II – Beetles and Humans Chapter III – Ten Miles Underground Chapter IV – Bram’s Story Chapter V – Doomed! Chapter VI – Escape! Conclusion Bullets, shrapnel, shell—nothing can stop the trillions of famished, man-sized beetles which, led by a madman, sweep down over the human race. Chapter VII – Through the Inferno Chapter VIII – Recaptured Chapter IX – The Trail of Death Chapter X – At Bay Chapter XI – The World Set Free The Invisible Death (1930) With night-rays and darkness-antidote America strikes back at the terrific and destructive Invisible Empire.

An Unexplained Death
Author: Mikita Brottman
Publisher: Henry Holt and Company
ISBN: 1250169143
Category : True Crime
Languages : en
Pages : 288
Book Description
An Unexplained Death is an obsessive investigation into a mysterious death at the Belvedere—a once-grand hotel—and a poignant, gripping meditation on suicide and voyeurism “The poster is new. I notice it right away, taped to a utility pole. Beneath the word ‘Missing,’ printed in a bold, high-impact font, are two sepia-toned photographs of a man dressed in a bow tie and tux.” Most people would keep walking. Maybe they’d pay a bit closer attention to the local news that evening. Mikita Brottman spent ten years sifting through the details of the missing man’s life and disappearance, and his purported suicide by jumping from the roof of her own apartment building, the Belvedere. As Brottman delves into the murky circumstances surrounding Rey Rivera’s death—which begins to look more and more like a murder—she contemplates the nature of and motives behind suicide, and uncovers a haunting pattern of guests at the Belvedere, when it was still a historic hotel, taking their own lives on the premises. Finally, she fearlessly takes us to the edge of her own morbid curiosity and asks us to consider our own darker impulses and obsessions.
