Sinopse

"Dark Humor" explores the intriguing intersection of comedy and tragedy, examining why we laugh at subjects that often scare us. Delving into philosophical and psychological underpinnings, the book uncovers how dark humor acts as a lens for processing morbid, taboo, and controversial topics. It sheds light on psychological defense mechanisms like sublimation, which help manage anxiety, and analyzes laughter's philosophical implications when directed at sensitive issues like death or injustice. This interdisciplinary approach uniquely combines insights from psychology and philosophy, moving beyond simplistic notions of good or bad taste.

 
The book argues that dark humor isn't just offensive, but a vital tool for coping and social commentary. Chapters progress from defining dark humor and exploring psychological theories to examining ethical considerations and real-world applications in trauma, political discourse, and difficult conversations.

 
Ultimately, "Dark Humor" challenges traditional views of humor, revealing its potential as a complex form of social commentary and psychological coping mechanism. By understanding its mechanisms, motivations, and societal implications, readers can appreciate dark humor as a multifaceted phenomenon with significant psychological and social value.

    The legend of Atlantis has fascinated historians, philosophers, and adventurers for centuries. First described by the ancient Greek philosopher Plato, Atlantis was said to be a powerful and advanced civilization that mysteriously vanished beneath the sea. Despite being written over 2,000 years ago, Plato’s account continues to inspire countless theories, books, and even modern expeditions in search of this lost world. But was Atlantis ever real, or was it simply a metaphor for human folly? Understanding the origins of this myth is crucial to separating historical possibility from pure fantasy.  
      
    Plato’s dialogues, Timaeus* and *Critias, provide the earliest known description of Atlantis. According to him, the island was a technologically superior and wealthy society that existed around 9,000 years before his time. It was said to be located beyond the "Pillars of Hercules," now known as the Strait of Gibraltar. However, due to the moral corruption of its people, the gods allegedly punished Atlantis by submerging it beneath the waves. This dramatic tale has led to endless speculation about whether Plato based it on real events or simply crafted it as an allegory about the dangers of hubris and imperial overreach.  
      
    Interestingly, Atlantis is not the only story of a lost civilization. Cultures around the world have myths of great lands that disappeared under the ocean. In Hindu mythology, the ancient city of Dwarka was said to have been swallowed by the sea. The biblical tale of the Great Flood and even the legends of Lemuria and Mu suggest a shared human fascination with lost worlds. Some researchers argue that these stories could be echoes of real historical disasters, such as the sudden sinking of landmasses due to earthquakes, tsunamis, or rising sea levels. Could Atlantis be another version of these global flood myths?

    In 1932, Hazel Ying Lee, a nineteen-year-old American daughter of Chinese immigrants, sat in on a friend's flight lesson. It changed her life. In less than a year, a girl with a wicked sense of humor, a newfound love of flying, and a tough can-do attitude earned her pilot's license and headed for China to help against invading Japanese forces. In time, Hazel would become the first Asian American to fly with the Women Airforce Service Pilots. As thrilling as it may have been, it wasn't easy. 
     
     
     
    In America, Hazel felt the oppression and discrimination of the Chinese Exclusion Act. In China's field of male-dominated aviation she was dismissed for being a woman, and for being an American. But in service to her country, Hazel refused to be limited by gender, race, and impossible dreams. Frustrated but undeterred, she forged ahead and gave her all for the cause, achieving more in her short remarkable life than even she imagined possible. 
     
     
     
    American Flygirl is the untold account of a spirted fighter and an indomitable hidden figure in American history. She broke every common belief about women. She challenged every social restriction to endure and to succeed. And against seemingly insurmountable obstacles, Hazel Ying Lee reached for the skies and made her mark as a universal and unsung hero whose time has come.
