Mental Radio (Annotated) - Enriched Edition Does it Work and How?

Upton Sinclair, Albert Einstein

Sinopsis

Situated at the crossroads of modern science, speculative inquiry, and literary testimony, Mental Radio examines telepathy through a sequence of controlled domestic experiments, reflective commentary, and documentary-style presentation. The volume ranges from observational record to philosophical speculation, making it a distinctive work in the history of psychical research. Its significance lies not merely in its claims, but in its careful staging of evidence, doubt, and interpretation within a culture fascinated by invisible communication. Upton Sinclair, best known for his social realism and reformist prose, brings to the subject a journalist's appetite for verification and a novelist's sensitivity to human experience. Albert Einstein's contribution lends the book a notable intellectual frame, situating its questions within broader debates about perception, causality, and the limits of contemporary knowledge. Together, their voices reflect an early twentieth-century moment when scientific modernity and occult possibility were not always sharply separated. Readers interested in literary modernism, the history of science, psychology, or paranormal inquiry will find Mental Radio a provocative and unusual volume. It offers a rare opportunity to consider experimental narrative, intellectual skepticism, and metaphysical curiosity in dialogue, inviting reflection on how evidence is shaped, narrated, and believed.

Defending Europe - Transatlantic...

Antonio Missiroli

After four tense decades of the Cold War and a subsequent period of relative stability across much of Europe, is the continent once again under threat? And are Europeans prepared to face the growing risks and strategic challenges of the second quarter of the 21st century? This ISPI Report, crafted for both expert readers and a broader audience, traces the evolution of Europe's defense architecture on two parallel tracks: the defense of Europe, fundamentally underpinned by NATO and shaped through its continual adaptation; and the pursuit of a distinctly European defense identity, increasingly advanced through the European Union. It examines the intersections, overlaps, tensions, and pivotal turning points in this dual process, exploring institutional and organizational frameworks, strategies and doctrines, missions and operations, as well as military and industrial capabilities. The storyline leads to 2025, a symbolic crossroads that may mark the end of one era and the beginning of another: a moment when Europeans will be called upon to assume full responsibility for their own security and defense. Will they rise to the challenge?

Good and Evil: 12 Philosophers...

Andrew Irwin

*Introduced by Rory Stewart* 
What makes a person good? What does it mean to be evil? And what does it tell us about being human? 
Philosophers have been grappling with these questions for thousands of years, and they remain as vital as ever in our present moment. Here, in a selection of essays each written by a different world expert, we explore the ideas of twelve strikingly different philosophers. From Hannah Arendt’s 'banality of evil' to Nietzsche’s embrace of suffering, from John Stuart Mill’s ethics of happiness to the ruthless realism of Machiavelli, there is an approach for readers of all persuasions. This is the book for anyone trying to understand how humans can sometimes behave so badly, and how we can all be better. 
Dive into the GOOD AND EVIL, the latest literary masterpiece edited by Andrew Irwin, as it delves into the moral themes of philosophy. This non-fiction book, a top pick among individual readers, is a must-have for anyone seeking to understand the subjects of good and evil.

The Radical Imagination of Black...

Pearl K. Ford Dowe

Including interviews with Black women holding political office at the national, state, and local levels, as well as focus group data, The Radical Imagination of Black Women challenges political science's current approach to political ambition by exploring how Black women decide to seek political office. Pearl K. Ford Dowe argues that ambition for Black women cannot be measured only by political candidacies and ascents of the political chain of power. Black women are uniquely positioned within their communities to influence politics and public policy, which stems from unique variables of socialization, gender and racial identity, and marginalization that shape the political attitudes of Black women. Thus, Dowe asserts that Black women's political ambition often manifests outside formal politics, in activism and community building, a process that is linked to a wider radical vision for a full democracy. This is ambition that occurs in a specific context of marginalization, and both motivation and the conditions surrounding such motivation are critical to understanding the full range of Black women's political work. By focusing on Black women's experiences in elite politics, The Radical Imagination of Black Women is a much-needed intervention in the literature on electoral ambition, women in politics, and candidates and elections.

Tanya Frank

One night in 2009, Tanya Frank finds her nineteen-year-old son, Zach—gentle and full of promise—in the grip of what the psychiatrists would label a psychotic break. Suddenly and inexplicably, Tanya is thrown into a parallel universe: Zach's world, where the phones are bugged, his friends have joined the Mafia, and helicopters are spying on his family. 
 
 
 
In the years following Zach's shifting psychiatric diagnoses, Tanya goes to war for her son, desperate to find the right answer, the right drug, the right doctor to bring him back to reality. Meanwhile, the boy she raised—the chatty, precocious dog-lover, the teenager who spent summers surfing with his big brother, the UCLA student—suffers the effects of multiple hospitalizations, powerful drugs that blunt his emotions, therapies that don't work, and torturous nights on the streets. Holding on to startling moments of hope and seeking solace in nature and community, Tanya learns how to abandon her fears for the future and accept the mysteries of her son’s altered states. 
 
 
 
With tenderness, lyricism, and generous candor, this compelling story conveys the power of a mother's love. Zig-Zag Boy is both a moving lamentation for things lost and a brave testament to the people we become in difficult circumstances.
