  Presence - The Strange Science...

  Ben Alderson-Day

  A psychologist’s journey to understand one of the most unusual experiences known to humankind: the universal, disturbing feeling that someone is there when we are alone 
   
  These experiences of sensing a “presence” when no one else is there have been given many names—the Third Man, guardian angels, shadow figures, “social” hallucinations—and they have inspired, unsettled, and confounded in equal measure. 
   
  While the contexts in which they occur are diverse, they are united by a distinct and uncanny feeling of visitation. But what does this feeling mean, and where does it come from? When and why do presences emerge? And how can we even begin to understand a phenomenon that can be transformative for those who  
  experience it, and yet so hard to put into words? 
   
  The answers to these questions lie in this tour de force, which takes readers through contemporary psychology, psychiatry, neuroscience, and philosophy.  
   
  Presence follows Ben Alderson-Day’s attempts—as a psychologist and a researcher—to understand how this experience is possible. What is a voice when it isn’t heard, and how otherwise do we know or feel that someone is in our presence? Is it a hallucination, a change in the working of the brain, or something else? 
   
  The journey to understand takes us to meet explorers, mediums, and robots, andallows us to step through real, imagined, and virtual worlds. Presence is the story of who we carry with us, at all times, as parts of ourselves.

  The Sun Also Rises

  Ernest Hemingway

  "You can't get away from yourself by moving from one place to another."
  
  In the wake of World War I, a group of disillusioned American and British expatriates drifts through the cafes of Paris, searching for a purpose that the war stripped away. At the center of this circle are Jake Barnes—a journalist left impotent by a war wound—and the captivating, fiercely independent Lady Brett Ashley. Their journey takes them from the jazz-soaked nights of the Rive Gauche to the raw, sun-drenched intensity of the bullfights in Pamplona.
  
  The Iceberg Theory in Action: Hemingway's revolutionary prose is on full display here. Using his "Iceberg Theory," he conveys deep emotional turmoil through sparse, rhythmic dialogue and direct action. Beneath the surface of every drink ordered and every trout caught lies a profound exploration of masculinity, resilience, and the "lost" nature of a youth that survived the trenches only to find a hollow peace.
  
  The Ritual of the Bullring: The novel reaches its crescendo during the Fiesta de San Fermín. Hemingway contrasts the chaotic, drunken revelry of the expatriates with the "purity" and tragic grace of the bullfight. Through the young matador Pedro Romero, Hemingway explores the "grace under pressure" that becomes the only available virtue in a world where traditional moral structures have collapsed.
  
  Experience the sunlit tragedy of a generation. Purchase "The Sun Also Rises" today and discover the origin of the modern American voice.

  Unmasking the Klansman - The...

  Unmasking the Klansman may read like a work of fiction but is actually a biography of Asa Carter, one of the South's most notorious white supremacists (and secret Klansman). In the early 1960s Carter became a secret adviser to George Wallace and wrote the Alabama governor's infamous 1963 inauguration speech vowing "segregation now, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever." When Carter disappeared from Alabama in 1972, few knew that he had assumed a new identity in Abilene, Texas, masquerading as a Cherokee American novelist. Using the name "Forrest" Carter, he published three successful Western novels, including The Rebel Outlaw, which Clint Eastwood made into a movie. His last book, The Education of Little Tree (a fake biography of his supposed Indian childhood) posthumously became a number one bestseller in 1991. 
   
   
   
  Author Dan T. Carter uncovered "Forrest" Carter's true identity while researching his biography of Georgia Wallace and in a New York Times op-ed he exposed Carter's deception. Although the difficulties of uncovering the full story of the secretive Carter initially led him to abandon the project, in 2018 he gained access to more than two hundred interviews by the late Anniston newsman, Fred Burger. These recordings and his two decades of exhaustive research finally brought Asa Carter's story into focus. Unmasking the Klansman is the result.

  Unlike people with carefree previous lives, I packed away my past. There are some memories labeled 'Look at', and others 'Leave well alone' . . . 
   
   
   
  Emily Smith was held in a prison of fear for ten years. When she was four, her father left and a new man was brought into her life. He loved her, he kept telling her so, but the emotional and physical abuse she suffered at his hands were a daily nightmare. Until one day, after he crept into her bedroom, her life became unbearable. 
   
   
   
  Emily found she was different in another way as her autism became more noticeable and punishments for her 'abnormal' behavior more severe. Astonishingly, she managed to escape her home of hell, where she was abused right in front of her mother. Emily determinedly gained a university place and emerged triumphant with a new life and family in Ireland, desperate to treat her daughter, so similar to her, to a different life. 
   
   
   
  Heartbreakingly true, Silent Child is a testament to Emily's strength as she sheds light on rampant abuse still happening today. Powerful and shocking, sharing her story means she finally has a voice to say: enough. 
   
   
   
  Contains mature themes.
