Summary

Cursed Objects Explained explores the captivating realm of artifacts believed to carry negative energy. It delves into the history, legends, and potential explanations behind these objects' sinister reputations. The book examines how historical events, psychological suggestibility (like the nocebo effect), and cultural narratives intertwine to instill objects with a reputation for misfortune. Did you know that the belief in animism, where spirits inhabit objects, has significantly shaped our perception of cursed items throughout history?

 
The book begins by defining cursed objects and exploring the psychology of belief. It then presents case studies of objects like ill-fated paintings and jewelry associated with bad luck, dissecting their histories and potential rational explanations. A key chapter examines cultural rituals that contribute to curse perceptions.

 
Ultimately, it discusses how our belief in cursed objects reflects our anxieties and influences our understanding of causality. This approach offers a multidisciplinary lens, combining historical analysis, psychological insights, and cultural perspectives to provide a comprehensive understanding of these phenomena.

    Holy Wars - 3000 Years of...

    Holy Wars describes three thousand years of war in the Holy Land with the unique approach of focusing on pivotal battles or campaigns, beginning with the Israelites' capture of Jericho and ending with Israel's last full-fledged assault against Lebanon. Its chapters stop along the way to examine key battles fought by the Philistines, Assyrians, Greeks, Romans, Arabs, Crusaders, and Mamluks—the latter clash, at Ayn Jalut, comprising the first time the Mongols suffered a decisive defeat. 
     
     
      
    The modern era saw the rise of the Ottomans and an incursion by Napoleon, who only found bloody stalemate outside the walls of Akko. The Holy Land became a battlefield again in World War I when the British fought the Turks. The nation of Israel was forged in conflict during its 1948 War of Independence, and subsequently found itself in desperate combat, often against great odds, in 1956 and 1967, and again in 1973, when it was surprised by a massive two-pronged assault. 
     
     
      
    By focusing on the climax of each conflict, while carefully setting each stage, Holy Wars examines an extraordinary breadth of military history—spanning in one volume the evolution of warfare over the centuries, as well as the enduring status of the Holy Land as a battleground.

    With a storyteller's warmth and a dollop of self-deprecating humor, Steve Vogel invites listeners along on his extraordinary journey from humble farm boy to accomplished journalist, broadcaster, and corporate communicator. 
    Broadcast Live is more than just a personal memoir. It's a vivid snapshot of American life, media, and the ever-changing cultural landscape. From rural roots and small-town traditions to the fast-paced worlds of broadcasting and Fortune 25 communications, Vogel's reflections are as entertaining as they are insightful and authentic. He calls some of his stories "celebrity-adjacent." Critics are raving: 
    Publishers Weekly's BookLife says Vogel "writes with a practiced hand, delivering smooth, concise prose that trims a lifetime of memories into dynamic vignettes. Broadcast Live balances the lighthearted with the profound, springing from prosaic childhood experiences to perceptive adult reflections that touch on social justice, cultural constructs, and a deep contemplation of what the future holds."IndieReader calls Vogel's writing "impeccable," adding, "His journalistic instincts ensure that each story is appropriately concise, with every word earning its keep."
