  'A celebration of human idiosyncrasy and of our talent for building shared meaning and solidarity out of the strangest material' – TLSFans takes the reader on a journey through a constellation of fandoms, and along the way demonstrates some fundamental truths about the human condition.Fascinating and thought-provoking, Fans is a story of communities, of what happens to us when we interact with people who share our passions. The human brain is wired to reach out, and while our groupish tendencies can bring much strife (religious intolerance, racism, war, etc.), they are also the source of some of our greatest satisfactions.Fandoms offer much of the pleasure of tribalism with little of the harm: a feeling of belonging and of shared culture, a sense of meaning and purpose, improved mental well-being, reassurance that our most outlandish convictions will be taken seriously, and the freedom to try to emulate (and dress like) our hero.But Bond shows that despite these benefits, the world of fandoms is not without its dark underside, from the “copycat effect” fuelling mass shootings to the delusions that can accompany the parasocial relationships that fans feel they have with their heroes.In Fans, Michael Bond draws on the work of social psychologists and anthropologists to understand how people behave in groups and why such groups have such a profound effect on human culture.

  Whether you are for Trump or against him, Too Much and Never Enough by Mary L.Trump dumps an entire load of skeletons from Trump closets at your feet for perusal. Mary claims Trump is an unlovable, bullying, cruel, crass, racist, sociopathic fraud with delusions of grandeur. Rather than working for the American people who voted for him, Mary suggests he is only out for Trump and his children, for the empire, for more power, riches, and fame. He wants to be the "greatest" and the "best" American President in history. The American people are but tools to reach their personal goals. He would never associate with the type of people who voted for him-- middle-class Bible Belt Republicans. 
    
  Mary discusses her interaction with journalists from the New York Times and even cites one of their articles as her primary source of financial background information on Trump after giving them some critical documents from her grandfather's estate. 
    
  In one section, Mary recalls witnessing her father pointing a rifle at their mother's head and other childhood memories. In another, she becomes a sophisticated political analyst ripping apart Trump, reminiscent of a Democrat New York Times columnist. Is Mary, as a psychologist, qualified to make statements like Hillary, well known for "Pay to Play" corruption, was the most qualified candidate ever to run for President? 
    
  WARNING!: If you are a Democrat, don't read the summary for Live Free or Die by Sean Hannity. The facts about your party, now led by radical socialists, are embarrassingly despicable. If you are a Conservative or Independent and want to survive, this book and Sean Hannity's are must-reads. Be aware that your family will always live under constant attack by socialists. Know why. 
    
  By publishing his first book in a decade which is guaranteed to be a top bestseller--it already appeared as #1 or #2 in Amazon rankings--Sean Hannity continues to battle the radical socialists and the Left who would love to eliminate our long tradition of freedom framed by the Founding Fathers. 
    
    
    
  Hannity warns us of a victory in November of 2020 for the Democrats. We can count on even more socialism and its accompanying plans for economic dysfunction and alienating our populations. The result? A nation nearly unrecognizable from the America that most of us grew up in-- the freest and most prosperous country in history. 
    
  There could not be a more timely and essential book.
