Beschreibung

"Brainwashed: The Dark Side of Spiritual Movements" is an in-depth exploration of the psychological and social dynamics behind cults. The book delves into the history of cults, dating back to ancient civilizations, and the evolution of these groups throughout history. It also examines the tactics used by cult leaders to manipulate and control their followers, including mind control and the use of charisma and group dynamics. The book highlights ten of the most infamous cults in history, including Peoples Temple and Jim Jones, the Manson Family, and Heaven's Gate, and the devastating consequences of cult involvement on both individuals and communities. The book also covers the challenges faced by those who leave a cult and the recovery process, as well as strategies for prevention and raising awareness. The conclusion reflects on the significance of understanding the dark side of spiritual movements and provides recommendations for further reading.

    Sir Ernest Henry Shackleton (1874 - 1922) was a polar explorer who led three British expeditions to the Antarctic. 
    During the second expedition, from 1907 to 1909, he and three companions established a new record for the “farthest South latitude,” which was 97 miles from the South Pole and the closest in pole exploration history. Members of his team also climbed Mount Erebus, the most active volcano on Antarctica. For these achievements, Shackleton was knighted by King Edward VII on his return home. 
    A few years later, his ship - The Endurance - became trapped in pack ice and was slowly crushed. The crew escaped by camping on the sea ice, then launching their lifeboats to reach the inhabited island of South Georgia, a stormy ocean voyage of 720 nautical miles. It became Shackleton's most famous exploit.

    This is small copy of introduction of the book: Welcome to the captivating journey through the life and legacy of Geoffrey Chaucer, affectionately known as "The Father of English Literature." In the pages that follow, we will embark on an exploration of a remarkable individual whose influence on the English language and literary tradition is immeasurable. 
    Geoffrey Chaucer lived in a time of great upheaval and transformation, where the English language was evolving, and the literary landscape was being reshaped. His life, spanning from the mid-14th century to the turn of the 15th century, was a tapestry woven with experiences that would eventually birth some of the most enduring works of literature in the English language. 
    This biography seeks to not only chronicle the significant events in Chaucer's life but also to provide insights into the historical and cultural backdrop against which he wrote. From his early days in London to his diplomatic missions across Europe, from the tumultuous era of the Hundred Years' War to the haunting specter of the Black Death, Chaucer's life was intimately connected with the trials and triumphs of his age.

    Rotting Man Goes to Town deals with an adult relationship; which is in deep trauma from the outset of the story. Its technique is predominately dual narration, going from him to her vantage points. There are two sides to every story. Some of the language is hard-hitting, with angry scenes or mindsets, including some swearing. Political incorrectness exists in parts. The emotions are raw. It is a compelling and authentic read. It begins badly. How will it end? 
    The initial setting is in America, with flashbacks to Britain, meant to counter the: hurt, sadness and anger, by the use of the device of injecting past comedic episodes. Levity and tragedy are seen in animal antics. Thus, the humorous scenes are meant to bring a balance to the novel overall. 
    With the exception of the animals’ names, which remain true, all human names have been changed.
