Synopsis

Superfan Dedication explores the captivating world of extreme fandom, examining the psychological and social factors that drive individuals to dedicate themselves to a particular passion. This book delves into fan theories, obsessive collecting, and community movements, revealing how these activities fulfill fundamental human needs for connection and self-expression. One intriguing insight is how fan theories, often dismissed as mere speculation, actually represent deep engagement with media and foster vibrant online communities. Another area explored is the psychological reward derived from obsessive collecting, highlighting its impact on social dynamics. Using a blend of social science and psychology, the book analyzes group dynamics, social identity theory, and the impact of media culture to provide a nuanced perspective on the superfan phenomenon. It bridges disciplines like psychology, sociology, and media studies, offering a comprehensive understanding of individual psychological processes and broader social forces. Presenting evidence from sociological surveys, psychological case studies, and ethnographic observations, Superfan Dedication progresses from introducing core concepts to examining psychological drivers, social dimensions, and practical implications of understanding fandom. Ultimately, the book argues that extreme fandom is a normal and beneficial expression of human social and psychological needs, offering valuable insights into identity formation and community building. It aims to move beyond stereotypes, providing a balanced perspective on the motivations and experiences within fan communities, making it relevant to marketers, community organizers, and anyone curious about the superfan phenomenon.

    On the Cannibals

    'I am not sorry we note the barbarous horror of cannibalism, but grieved that, prying so narrowly into their faults, we are so blinded in ours.'
    
    First translated into English in 1603, 'On the Cannibals' is an essay reflecting on a remarkable trip to Brazil which Michel de Montaigne undertook at the end of the sixteenth century.
    
    A study into the customs and practices of indigenous peoples in the Americas, Montaigne delves into the concept of 'civilisation', contrasting the behaviour of so-called 'barbarians' with Western society. He challenges the idea that European values are superior, understanding the practices of the Tupinambá people and arguing that the horrors inflicted by the soldiers of Portugal on their enemies at the time are – in many ways – far worse. It remains a persuasive and compelling argument for cultural relativism. This audiobook edition is expertly narrated by Malk Williams.
    Michael de Montaigne (1533 – 1592) was a French philosopher and writer, and a significant figure in the French Renaissance. He is widely known for popularising the essay, amalgamating anecdotes with memoir and intellect. He has been a huge influence on several Western writers, including William Shakespeare.

    Want to be truly inclusive? It's more than flying a rainbow flag on your church doors. 
     
     
     
    So your church website says you're welcoming, a rainbow flag flies out front, worship uses gender-inclusive language, and you make sure you greet the stranger next to you on Sunday mornings. But is all of that really enough? And what if those welcoming gestures actually keep visitors from returning and exclude dozens of other groups or people in your community? 
     
     
     
    In True Inclusion, public theologian and pastor Brandan Robertson shares how to move your church from mere welcome to radical embrace. Pointing to a clear biblical imperative for radical inclusivity in the sanctuary and in the public square, Robertson presents a paradigm-shifting vision of community, "where nothing is simple, nothing is easy, but everything is beautiful." Learn practical, step-by-step approaches to becoming deeply, robustly, and richly inclusive of all people regardless of race, gender identity, sexual orientation, political affiliation, and socioeconomic status. 
     
     
     
    Written for people and communities at every stage of the journey, True Inclusion will challenge and inspire you to embody a gospel of radical embrace for all.

    "On the Motion of Animals" is a scientific work by Aristotle that explores the principles of motion in living beings. In this treatise, Aristotle observes and analyzes the movements of various animals, from insects to humans, in order to understand the mechanics of motion and the physiological and psychological factors that drive it. Aristotle begins by examining the different types of motion, including natural, violent, and voluntary, and how they relate to the movements of animals. He then delves into the anatomy and physiology of different animals, looking at their skeletal structures, muscular systems, and nervous systems, and how they work together to produce motion. Read in English, unabridged.
