Sinopse

Silly Conspiracy Theories explores the captivating realm of absurd fringe beliefs, dissecting how these theories become cultural touchstones despite their outlandish nature. The book examines the origins, psychology, and societal impact of these ideas, presenting a unique perspective on conspiracy thinking. For instance, the persistent myth of secret moon bases reveals our fascination with the unknown, while claims of celebrity replacements reflect anxieties about authenticity in popular culture. The book progresses from outlining a framework for analyzing conspiracy theories to examining specific cases, such as theories surrounding faked deaths and subterranean civilizations. It then delves into the psychological and sociological underpinnings, drawing from cognitive science and media studies to understand how social anxieties and distrust in authority contribute to these beliefs. Lastly, the role of popular culture in shaping and reflecting these theories is analyzed. This approach provides valuable insights into misinformation and the importance of critical thinking in today's world.

    Terminal lucidity is a relatively common but poorly understood phenomenon. Near the end of life, many people—including those who have suffered brain injuries or strokes, or have been silenced by mental illness or deep dementia—experience what seems a miraculous return. They regain their clarity and energy, are able to talk with families and caregivers, recall their lives and often appear to be aware of their nearing death.In this remarkable audiobook, cognitive scientist and Director of the Viktor Frankl Institute Dr. Alexander Batthyány offers the first major account of terminal lucidity, utilizing hundreds of case studies and his research in the related field of near-death studies to explore the mind, the body, the nature of consciousness, and what the living can learn from those who are crossing the border from life to death.Astonishing, authoritative, and deeply moving, Threshold opens a doorway into one of life's—and death's—most provocative mysteries.A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin’s Press Essentials.

    Following Caesar - From Rome to...

    In 66 BC, young, ambitious Julius Caesar, seeking recognition and authority, became the curator of the Via Appia. He borrowed significant sums to restore the ancient highway. It was a way to curry favor from Roman citizens in villages along the route, built from Rome to Brindisi between 312-191 BC. After achieving greatness in Rome and the far reaches of Gaul, he led armies along this road to battle enemies in Roman civil wars. And then, across the Adriatic Sea, he joined Via Appia's sister road, the Via Egnatia that began in today's Albania. Other armies followed these two roads that eventually connected Rome to Byzantium, today's Istanbul. In the early second century AD, the emperor Trajan charted a new coastal route between Benevento and Brindisi, later called the Via Traiana. 
     
     
     
    Today, short stretches of the original three roads can be seen in the ruins of ancient Roman cities, now preserved as archaeological wonders, and through the countryside near, and sometimes under, modern highways. Following those routes is the purpose of treading along the path that Caesar and so many others took over the early centuries. Modern eyes, seeing through the mists of more than two thousand years of history, lead the traveler along these three roads coursing through six countries between Rome and Istanbul.
