Summary

Cursed Lands explores the intriguing intersection of history, culture, and psychology in shaping our perception of supposedly "cursed" locations worldwide. Rather than focusing on sensationalized ghost stories, the book delves into the real-world events, folklore, and psychological factors that contribute to a place's eerie reputation. For example, locations scarred by warfare or natural disasters often carry a palpable sense of historical trauma, influencing local beliefs and perceptions of paranormal activity.

 
The book examines how cultural transmission of legends and historical events, coupled with the psychology of fear, perpetuates the idea of certain places as "haunted." It investigates historical records, anthropological studies, and psychological research to contextualize the evidence, offering a multidisciplinary approach. From battlefields to sites of disease outbreaks and places linked to dark folklore, the book progresses through global case studies.

 
Ultimately, Cursed Lands aims to provide a nuanced understanding of why certain locations resonate with such unsettling energy.

Newcomers - The Story of Anthony...

Alan Mikhail

The exceptional tale of an unorthodox, seventeenth–century married couple whose rags-to-riches story fundamentally rewrites our knowledge of American history at its very beginnings. 
 
A man thought to be Muslim from Morocco and a German barmaid are hardly the image we have of America's founders. In Newcomers, Alan Mikhail upends the traditional story of American beginnings through the tale of Anthony "the Turk" and Grietje Reyniers. Married in Amsterdam, they arrived in 1630s Dutch New Amsterdam, hoping to forge a new life. Always outsiders in the young colony, they battled Dutch authorities, brawled with neighbors, and seized land from Native Americans. In this revisionist portrait of the early American family, we learn of anti-Muslim sentiment through Anthony and of female defiance through Grietje. Eventually banished from Manhattan to Long Island, Anthony and Grietje farmed, prospered, and raised a family whose descendants included the Vanderbilts and President Harding. Promising "to change the way we understand Colonial Gotham's formative first years" (Susanah Shaw Romney), Alan Mikhail's Newcomers provides revelatory insights into the seventeenth-century origins of New York.

A Light in the Tower - A New...

Katie Rose Guest Pryal

With evocative storytelling and incisive research, Katie Rose Guest Pryal brings a new eye to the mental health crisis that higher education has faced for decades. Written from the perspective of a bipolar-autistic professor, A Light in the Tower is both a bracing account of the mental health crisis in higher education and a passionate and informed proposal for how to teach with mental health in mind. 
 
 
 
Pryal contends that higher education's mental health crisis is the result of long-term systemic problems in education that demand nothing short of a revolution. She examines the anxiety that plagues campuses as a result of exploited and overworked contingent faculty and students, the shock events like COVID-19 and campus shootings that traumatize communities, the systemic and institutional burnout that affects higher education at every level, and the market-driven culture of toxic overwork. These are large-scale problems that need large-scale solutions. Addressing the stigma that haunts mental disability on campus, the ableism that hounds our teaching, and the cascade of mental health struggles that far too many faculty and students face, Pryal provides straightforward solutions to these complex challenges.

Our Foundation for Flourishing -...

David Millard Haskell

This book introduces a political philosophy described as “Traditional Conservatism,” defined as the application of Christian moral principles to public governance. It examines patterns of social change in the United States and Canada and presents the argument that the abandonment of historically established moral and civic norms has contributed to societal decline. Drawing on historical sources, including political speeches, court records, and government documents, the text presents the view that Christian principles were widely assumed to guide public institutions in North America until the mid-twentieth century. The book also incorporates contemporary social scientific research intended to demonstrate the relationship between Christian moral norms and measures of social well-being. Through historical analysis and empirical discussion, the work presents foundational arguments supporting the continued influence of Christian principles on law, public policy, and civic life in modern democratic societies.
