This book delves into the fascinating relationship between myth, mind, and the screen, exploring how myths are reflected and reinterpreted in contemporary media, particularly in films and television shows.

Myths are not simply stories of old; they are living narratives that carry deep psychological and cultural meanings. They shape our understanding of ourselves, others, and the world around us.

This book examines how these timeless narratives are adapted and reimagined for the screen, offering fresh perspectives and insights into the human experience.

Moreover, the book explores the psychological impact of myths on our minds. It investigates how myths can shape our beliefs, values, and behaviors, and how they can be used to create powerful emotional connections with audiences. By understanding the power of myths, we can gain a deeper understanding of ourselves and the world around us.

This book is an invitation to journey into the realm of myth, mind, and the screen. By exploring the relationship between these three elements, we can gain a richer understanding of the stories we tell, the images we consume, and the impact they have on our lives.

Inside Qatar - Hidden Stories...

John McManus

An intimate portrait of life in the world’s richest nation ahead of the FIFA 2022 World Cup. 
 
Just 70 years ago, the Gulf nation of Qatar was a backwater, reliant on pearl diving. Today it is a gas-laden parvenu with seemingly limitless wealth and ambition. Skyscrapers, museums and futuristic football stadiums rise out of the desert and Ferraris race through the streets. But in the shadows, migrant workers toil in the heat for risible amounts. 
 
INSIDE QATAR reveals how real people live in this surreal place, a land of both great opportunity and great iniquity. Ahead of Qatar’s time in the limelight as host of the 2022 FIFA World Cup, anthropologist John McManus lifts a lid on the hidden worlds of its gilded princes, manual labourers and domestic workers, its teachers and policemen, culture vultures and thrill seekers. 
 
“A stunning exposé... A social anthropologist by trade, McManus's focus is not on the secretive intrigues of Qatar's ruling family, but on the lives of ordinary people... McManus is an engaging writer, who can bring even anonymous interviewees to life.” TELEGRAPH
