Summary

"Banned Horror Films" delves into the censorship of horror movies, exploring why certain films are deemed too extreme for public consumption. It examines the history and cultural impact of these outlawed movies, revealing how censorship often mirrors deeper societal anxieties rather than simply protecting public morality. For example, justifications for banning range from explicit content to perceived threats against social order, showcasing the evolving standards of what is deemed acceptable.

 
The book analyzes specific banned horror films, dissecting their content and the arguments for their prohibition. It traces the evolution of censorship practices throughout the 20th and 21st centuries, providing context for understanding each ban. Censorship is not static but a product of its time, reflecting political agendas and cultural clashes.

 
Structured to provide a comprehensive overview, the book begins with the history of film censorship and progresses into detailed analyses of specific films, culminating in a broader discussion of the ethics of censorship and the role of horror in society. By understanding the motivations behind these bans, readers gain a critical perspective on media consumption and the values shaping society.

    How to live wisely and well in the twenty-first century-an introduction to the modern art of emotional intelligence.

Emotional intelligence affects every aspect of the way we live, from romantic to professional relationships, from our inner resilience to our social success. It is arguably the single most important skill for surviving the twenty-first century. But what does it really mean?

One decade ago, Alain de Botton founded The School of Life, an institute dedicated to understanding and improving our emotional intelligence. Now he presents the gathered wisdom of those ten years in a wide-ranging and innovative compendium of emotional intelligence that forms an introduction to The School of Life. Using his trademark mixture of analysis and anecdote, philosophical insight and practical wisdom, he considers how we interact with each other and with ourselves, and how we can do so better. From the beloved expert of popular philosophy, The School of Life: An Emotional Education is an essential look at the skill set that defines our modern lives.

    The Buddha, also known as Siddhārtha Gautama, was a philosopher, mendicant, meditator, spiritual teacher, and religious leader who lived in Ancient India. He is revered as the founder of Buddhism. He taught for around forty five years and built a large following, both monastic and lay. His teaching is based on his insight into suffering and the end of such – the state called Nirvana. 
 
Prince Gautama was born into an aristocratic family but eventually joined the renounced order of life. After several years of mendicancy, meditation, and asceticism, he awakened to understand the workings of the cycle of rebirth and how it can be escaped. The Buddha then traveled widely teaching. He taught the middle way between sensual indulgence and severe asceticism. He taught a training of the mind that included self-restraint, and meditative practices such as mindfulness. The Buddha also critiqued the practices of Brahmin priests, such as animal sacrifice. 
 
Here is the illumined heart of his divine timeless teachings.

    First published in 1925, The City is a trailblazing text in urban history, urban sociology, and urban studies. Its innovative combination of ethnographic observation and social science theory epitomized the Chicago school of sociology. Robert E. Park, Ernest W. Burgess, and their collaborators were among the first to document the interplay between urban individuals and larger social structures and institutions, seeking patterns within the city’s riot of people, events, and influences. As sociologist Robert J. Sampson notes in his new foreword, though much has changed since The City was first published, we can still benefit from its charge to explain where and why individuals and social groups live as they do.
