Beschreibung

In "The Superstitions of Witchcraft," Howard Williams delves into the intricate tapestry of folklore, beliefs, and rituals surrounding witchcraft across diverse cultures. Employing a meticulous blend of historical research and anthropological insights, Williams examines how superstitions play a crucial role in the societal understanding of witchcraft. His analytical yet evocative literary style invites readers to explore the depths of fear, fascination, and the sometimes thin line between superstition and belief that has prevailed through centuries. This work sheds light on the contextual significance of witchcraft in both historical and contemporary societies, exploring how these beliefs inform social dynamics and cultural narratives. Howard Williams, a distinguished scholar with a background in anthropology and cultural studies, has long been fascinated by the interplay of belief systems and societal norms. His extensive research into marginalized traditions and folklore has shaped his understanding of witchcraft's enduring influence on human psychology and societal structure. Williams' passion for uncovering the stories behind various cultural practices reflects his commitment to preserving the voices often overshadowed in mainstream historical discourse. This book is essential reading for anyone interested in the intersections of culture, belief, and history. Williams' profound insights and rigorous scholarship make "The Superstitions of Witchcraft" not only an informative text but also a compelling narrative that will engage scholars, students, and general readers alike. Join Williams on this fascinating journey through the shadowy corridors of superstition and discover the rich, often perilous, world of witchcraft.

    By " assembling" some of the most fascinating figures in world history, Meeting of Minds provided a groundbreaking opportunity for audiences to be exposed to ideas by way of a medium not normally known for its intellectual vigor. Portrayed by actors, panelists engage in stimulating round-table discussions that were conducted like any other talk show but featured prominent influencers from bygone generations— not just philosophers and politicians, but poets, playwrights, and presidents. From activists and artists to international leaders— both famous and infamous— these conversations are unfailingly witty, thought-provoking, and genuinely entertaining.
    An innovative series, Meeting of Minds remains one of the most delightful ways of gaining historical perspective ever devised, and these original soundtrack recordings capture the intellectual and spirited debates of the episodes hosted by Steve Allen. The panelists featured in this volume are English philosopher and Renaissance man Sir Francis Bacon, women' s rights advocate Susan B. Anthony, Mexican revolutionary Emiliano Zapata, and Greek philosopher Socrates.

    Being a parent is probably the most important job many of us will ever have. In this book, clinical psychologist Dr. Edward Christophersen and his colleague, child psychologist Dr. Susan Mortweet, show parents how to raise their child to become the adult we'd all like to be—one who is happy and compassionate, confident but not aggressive, and able to make and keep friends. 
     
     
     
    They point out that from babyhood on through the school years, children learn these qualities by observing and interacting with their parents. In clearly written, easy-to-follow chapters, parents are shown how to model and reward positive behaviors and avoid the need for ineffective, punitive discipline. 
     
     
     
    Two key areas are covered in the book: building one's own skills as a parent, and then building one's child's competencies. Scores of practical examples show parents how to teach their children what is important in life, how to communicate clearly, and how to effectively discipline their child. Special parenting topics such as managing a child's behavior in public, monitoring TV, toys, and games, and handling fallout from divorce are also discussed. Listeners then learn how to build their child's basic skills by teaching him or her how to quickly get over upsets and how to play independently.

    We are witnessing an unprecedented moment in American politics in which impeachments are increasingly common. In today's partisan environment, it is more vital than ever that government officials, scholars, and ordinary citizens understand what an impeachment can reasonably be expected to accomplish. In this incisive and accessible book, Keith Whittington provides needed clarity on the constitutional power of impeachment. 
     
     
     
    Drawing insights from American and British history, congressional practice, and the language of the Constitution itself, Whittington shows how impeachment is a tool for checking abuses of elective office and defending constitutional norms. While we have come to associate impeachment with the presidency, it can be used to remedy gross misconduct by an array of officers of the federal government. Whittington cautions against abusing this immense and consequential power to settle political scores, demonstrating how it undermines the independence of the branches and makes Congress the seat of political power. 
     
     
     
    A must-listen for the informed citizen, The Impeachment Power argues that impeachment is ultimately a political instrument and gives us the perspective we need to recognize when an impeachment might be useful and when we are better served by looking for alternative ways to solve our political problems.

    In The Code Book (1999), Simon Singh traces the history of secret codes and their crucial role in deciding the outcomes of wars and dynasties. He explores the evolution of encryption from simple substitution of letters to a complex cipher system, and shows how the subject of coding is more relevant in the Digital Age than ever before.
