Sinopsis

"Gothic Horror" explores the lasting impact of gothic literature, revealing how it shaped our understanding of fear, death, and the supernatural. Delving into psychological terror and the unsettling presence of the past, the book uncovers the cultural anxieties reflected in gothic themes. 

 
Did you know the genre emerged in the late 18th century amid societal upheaval, offering a counter-narrative to the Enlightenment's rationalism? These elements continue to resonate in modern storytelling, influencing our perception of the human condition. 

 
The book examines the evolution of the gothic novel, beginning with foundational works like Horace Walpole's "The Castle of Otranto" to the psychological horror found in Edgar Allan Poe, with an academic approach, offering in-depth analysis and critical interpretation of gothic literature. 

 
By tracing the shifting representations of death and the supernatural, the book highlights the genre's development and its reflection of cultural anxieties. 

 
The chapters progress from establishing the historical context to analyzing key texts and demonstrating the enduring legacy of gothic themes in contemporary media.

    The book is an abridged story of life that we see now and the life forms that 
    existed in the past. Readers can flip through pages of the planet's 
    history and explore the secrets hidden in the fossils scattered across forgotten landscapes. 
    The species we see today are only a tiny fraction of all those that 
    have ever lived on Earth. Most of the species have vanished throughout the Earth's history. 
    The author intersected at five major extinction episodes and narrated 
    selected stories of the lost world while highlighting life's journey on our plants —from tiny 
    microorganisms to massive dinosaurs, mammoths and mastodons, ultimately leading up to humans. 
    Unfortunately, we're now facing a critical moment when Earth’s biodiversity is at risk of being wiped out entirely, 
    and our planet may stop breathing one day. This prompts readers to reflect on what we have done to bring life's 
    diversity to such a vulnerable state. The author concludes the book with future perspectives on how we all can stop the next mass extinction.

    The lessons included in this book are written by an Asiatic for the English-speaking peoples of the world, and suffer from the fact that the mother tongue of the writer is not English nor Sanskrit and that his metaphysic is oriental. Much of the teaching that 1s given here has been given out privately in the Yogic schools of the select, though not in the practical form herein presented. The excuse for the book is the need of arrangement before doubting, enquiring minds prepared to question every argument and assertion; of facts and theories so that they fit in with the composite scheme presented by the Yogi philosophy.

    Today every American is taught about watershed moments in the history of minorities’ struggles for civil rights over the course of American history: the Civil War, Brown v. Board of Education, Rosa Parks’ refusal to give up her seat, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech, and the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Indeed, the use of the phrase “Civil Rights Movement” in America today almost invariably refers to the period of time from 1954-1964. 
    	However, the Civil Rights Movement actually came into existence long before it is presumed to have done so. The movement's primary work was slow, evolving, gradual and long-term. Its more glamorous moments, such as the Montgomery Bus Boycott (1955–1956), the Selma to Montgomery March (1965), and the March on Washington (1963), mainly were supplemental to the all-important grassroots work already going on in communities, churches, legislatures, and courts. The nascent stages of the movement actually began far earlier, among abolitionists and the writings and activism of Frederick Douglass and others.  
    	Beginning in the summer of 1962, King and the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) began to express interest in targeting one of the South's most brutally segregated cities. Nicknamed “Bombingham,” the city had witnessed the bombing of over a dozen black homes and churches in the previous five years. A victory in Birmingham was a goal that would embolden the Civil Rights Movement like never before.

    Viola MacMillan had it all: success, money, and respect. Influence, even. But in 1964, after three decades in the mining industry, one of the most fascinating women in Canadian business history was the central character in one of the country's most famous stock scandals. 
     
     
     
    MacMillan, who started out as a prospector in the '30s, had developed lucrative mines and put together big deals. But she still wanted "a major discovery." Early in July 1964, shares in Windfall Oil and Mines, a company she and her husband controlled, traded for around 56 cents. Then one day, the stock took off. In the absence of any information from the company about what it had found near Timmins on its claims, rumors and greed pushed the share price to a high of $5.70. MacMillan stayed quiet. Finally, after three weeks, Windfall admitted it had nothing. 
     
     
     
    So many small investors lost money when the stock crashed that the Ontario government appointed a royal commission to examine what had happened, which led to changes at the Ontario Securities Commission and the Toronto Stock Exchange. Although MacMillan spent a few weeks in prison, she later received a pardon and the Order of Canada.
