  On the fraught bonds between daughters and their fathers, women, and the patriarchy 
   
   
   
  In this beguiling, incisive book, critically acclaimed writer Katherine Angel examines the place of fathers in contemporary culture with her characteristic mix of boldness and nuance, asking how the mixture of love and hatred we feel toward our fathers—and patriarchal father figures—can be turned into a relationship that is generative rather than destructive. 
   
   
   
  Moving deftly between psychoanalysis from Freud to Winnicott, cultural visions of fathering from King Lear to Ivanka Trump, and issues from incest to MeToo, Angel probes the fraught bond of daughters and fathers, women and the patriarchal regime. What, she asks, is this discomfiting space of love and hate—and how are we to reckon with both fealty and rebellion? 
   
   
   
  As in her earlier book Tomorrow Sex Will Be Good Again, Angel proves herself to be one of the most perceptive feminist writers at work today.

Through lyrical prose that echoes the quiet moments of psychological struggle, this groundbreaking exploration maps the subtle territories where anxiety infiltrates daily life.

Drawing on rich metaphorical frameworks of weather patterns, architecture, and internal chemistry, it offers readers a revolutionary lens for understanding their own experiences of anxiety. What sets this work apart is its masterful balance of scientific insight and emotional resonance, weaving together the biological underpinnings of anxiety with the deeply personal experience of navigating its presence in contemporary life. The narrative doesn't just describe anxiety; it captures its essence in the spaces between heartbeats, in the pauses between breaths, in the moments between thoughts—making visible what has long remained unseen.

  The Crowd - A Study of the...

  "The Crowd: A Study of the Popular Mind," written by Gustave Le Bon and first published in 1895, is a seminal work in the field of social psychology and the study of mass behavior. Le Bon explores the psychological underpinnings of crowd behavior, arguing that individuals, when part of a crowd, often lose their sense of personal responsibility and individuality. This transformation leads to collective behavior that is fundamentally different from the behavior of the individuals that constitute the crowd.Le Bon identifies several key characteristics of crowds: they are highly suggestible, prone to emotional contagion, and can be easily manipulated by leaders or prevailing ideas. He suggests that crowds operate on a more primitive and instinctual level, where rational thought is often overridden by emotion and a herd mentality. This, he argues, results in behaviors that are often irrational, impulsive, and sometimes violent.The book discusses various types of crowds, including anonymous crowds, organized crowds, and even criminal crowds, examining how their dynamics and psychological profiles differ. Le Bon's work also delves into the historical and social implications of crowd behavior, analyzing how mass movements have shaped political and social landscapes. He uses historical examples to illustrate his points, making connections between his theoretical insights and real-world events."The Crowd" has had a lasting impact on various fields, including sociology, psychology, political science, and even marketing and propaganda. Le Bon's ideas about the power of leaders to influence and control crowds have been both influential and controversial, sparking debates about the nature of mass behavior and the role of individual agency within it. Despite being over a century old, the book's insights remain relevant, offering a profound understanding of the dynamics of group behavior and the psychological mechanisms that drive collective actions.
