  The celebrated National Book Award–winning writer's intimate exploration of how fact is transformed into fiction. 
   
   
   
  In this thoughtful collection of essays, Andrea Barrett draws from her experiences writing some of the most acclaimed historical fiction of our time to explore the mysteries and delights of the genre. Inspiration found in the past, she argues, can illuminate fiction, just as dust scatters light and makes the unseen visible. Delving into some of the largest questions in the genre—How does a writer find meaningful subject matter beyond the confines of their life? How are scraps of history transformed into a fully formed narrative?—Barrett explores how she came to create some of her beloved works and explores lessons gleaned from the work of such masters of historical fiction as Toni Morrison, Leo Tolstoy, Hilary Mantel, and Colm Tóibín. Candid and elegant, Dust and Light is the perfect book for anyone who loves reading fiction set in the past, as well as for anyone aspiring to write it.

  Persuasion - The Act of...

  Persuasion is an integral part of human interaction, deeply embedded in how we communicate and influence others in various aspects of life. It involves the art of convincing someone to change their beliefs, attitudes, or behaviors, often through reasoning, emotional appeal, or both. Whether it’s a political leader attempting to sway voters, a marketer aiming to sell a product, or an individual trying to resolve a conflict, persuasion is a tool that enables individuals to shape others’ thoughts and actions. Understanding persuasion is essential not only to comprehend how others influence us but also to understand how we can use it ethically to influence others in return. 
  At its core, persuasion is about changing the way people think or act without forcing them into compliance. It is often misunderstood as a form of manipulation, but while both involve influencing others, manipulation typically involves deceit or coercion, whereas persuasion focuses on genuine reasoning and voluntary agreement. The ethical boundaries between persuasion and manipulation are significant, and understanding where persuasion becomes harmful is an important distinction in the study of this process. 
  One of the most significant aspects of persuasion is its psychological foundation. Persuasion works through the understanding of human cognition, emotions, and behavior. People are naturally influenced by their emotions, biases, and the social context in which they find themselves. Cognitive biases such as the bandwagon effect, anchoring, and authority bias can make individuals more susceptible to persuasive messages. This means that the context, presentation, and emotional appeal can have a profound impact on how persuasive an argument or idea is.
