  "Romantic Demons: Victory Over Incubus and Succubus" leads you to that shadowy world in which this line between myth and reality is blurred, and the fears of the ages come to life. Ever since the first whisper of their names, incubi and succubi have fascinated and terrified, sirenly entrapping their victims into a seductive, deadly embrace. The veil is pulled off in this book, exposing the dark truth about these nocturnal predators. 
  Look into the human mind, where true terror really resides. Analyze how sleep paralysis and suppressed desires result in nightmarish encounters with these demons. It is the depth of the psychology in these myths that makes them all the more real—and horrifying. And in a world infested with these demons, man has retaliated with each available weapon at his disposal. Learn about religious artifacts, charms, and modern practices designed to keep these nightmarish beings at bay. Discover the mix of superstition and practical wisdom developed to reclaim our nights. 
  As the last curtain falls, reflect on the strength these myths still hold. Incubi and succubi are not just relics of those times but living testaments to humanity's darkest fears and desires. Celebrate that resilient, ingenious human spirit, which turned terror into triumph and ancient dread into a testament of survival. 
  "Romantic Demons: Victory Over Incubus and Succubus" is an investigation, an invitation into a world where the ancient crashes into the modern. It isn't a light passage through darkness, with high stakes and profound revelations. Will you dare to uncover the truth?

  Anarchism and Other Essays

  Emma Goldman

  "Goldman was an admirer of Nietzsche and in many ways represents a model of a superior individual who is capable of rising above the herd instincts of the masses and embracing confrontation with danger. She never hesitated to countenance both the ire of public authorities and the scorn of public opinion. As contemporary anarchists have fallen into the mundane habit of politically correct conformity, a full examination of Goldman's thought suggests the need for a new anarchism that reflects the martial spirit of which Goldman was an exemplary.  Emma Goldman is often depicted in current academic discourse, and the "Left" in particular, as a role model for feminists and a champion of the proletariat. Keith Preston however in reviewing each chapter of Goldman's most famous work "Anarchism and Other Essays" reveals that Emma Goldman often expressed ideas which many of her present day admirers will find surprising and unsettling. He highlights the fact that Emma Goldman distrusted the proletariat, wrote disdainfully of the early feminists who were her contemporaries, and expressed scepticism of women's suffrage."

  On Truth in Politics - Why...

  Do any of us really care about truth when it comes to politics? Should we? In a world of big lies, denialism, and conspiracy theories, democracies are experiencing two interlocked crises: a loss of confidence in democracy itself and the growing sense among many that politics is only about power—not truth. In this book, Michael Patrick Lynch argues that truth not only can—but must—matter in politics. He shows why truth is an essential democratic value—a value we need to sustain our democratic way of life—and how it can be strengthened. 
   
   
   
  Despite evidence that people are rarely motivated by truth when it comes to politics, On Truth in Politics argues that this isn't inevitable. Accessibly written and rigorously argued, it draws on the American pragmatist tradition to develop an original theory of the nature and value of truth in the messy world of politics. Contrary to the belief of many, political beliefs can be true or false. But if democracy is to continue to be a space of reason and not just an arena of power, we must build a better infrastructure of knowledge, including stronger schools and media, and renew our commitment to science and history. 
   
   
   
  A vital and timely book, On Truth in Politics makes an original case for why democracy cannot survive without truth.

  Secret Powers and Why We Shouldn't Use Them by Manly P. Hall is a thought-provoking exploration of the hidden abilities within human consciousness and the moral, ethical, and spiritual implications of their misuse. Drawing from esoteric traditions, philosophy, and psychology, Hall delves into the nature of these powers, such as clairvoyance, telepathy, and other psychic phenomena, emphasizing their potential to disrupt personal and universal harmony if wielded irresponsibly. Through a balanced perspective, he advocates for self-discipline, ethical development, and a commitment to spiritual growth as prerequisites for engaging with these latent abilities. The work serves as both a cautionary tale and an invitation to introspection, encouraging readers to align with universal principles of integrity and wisdom before attempting to unlock their hidden potential.

  Start of the Crusades The: The...

  Though it went largely unremarked in the Islamic world at the time, the First Crusade has since become a contentious symbol of European imperialism in the Middle East. Debate over whether the Crusades can truly be perceived as an early example of European colonialism continues in medieval historiography, though the evidence for this is thin. The territory taken by the Franks from the Turks had previously belonged to Eastern Christians and had only recently been seized by the Turks themselves. The Crusader States were relatively small and weak, and they were reconquered centuries before modern European colonialism began. The Crusaders themselves saw it as a holy war of reclamation of previously lost (albeit almost-mythical) territory. To them, the Muslims were the first aggressors, and they were somewhat bolstered in this view by the support that they largely held from local Christians.   
  	The Crusader States were relatively small and weak, and while they tried to be a bulwark of Christianity in the Holy Land, the Crusader States were reconquered centuries before modern European colonialism began. Nonetheless, the Crusades and the Crusader States galvanized the Christians of Western Europe to expand their world. While it remains unclear how much that world expanded in practical terms such as trade, or how it affected later attitudes during the expansion to the New World and other regions, it definitely engaged the European mind in both positive and negative ways. As such, the crusades soon achieved near-mythic status in the European literature and remain among the most important events of the Middle Ages.  
  At the same time, the Crusader States were not one homogenized region but actually several distinct territories that had their own unique histories and interests. In fact, many of them were founded a century apart.
