Humor Logic

Sinopsis

Humor Logic delves into the science behind what makes us laugh, arguing that humor isn't random but relies on logic, timing, and context. The book explores how jokes often employ logical incongruities or surprising twists to create amusement. It also examines how the effectiveness of humor depends heavily on delivery, with pauses and rhythm playing critical roles.

 
The book progresses by first introducing these core concepts, then dedicating sections to each element individually, and finally integrating them to show how they work together. Understanding these elements can offer insights into human communication, social interactions, and even mental well-being.

 
For instance, the context of a joke—shaped by shared experiences and cultural norms—significantly influences its reception. This exploration builds upon established philosophical and psychological theories, while also incorporating contemporary research from cognitive science and linguistics.

 
By dissecting humor into its fundamental components, Humor Logic provides a unique framework for appreciating and understanding its impact on our lives.

Hell Days

Laura Elizabeth Woollett

When I think of my hell days, I think of crime scenes. Familiar sites, made uncanny with violence. 
 
In the fluorescent tedium of a call centre in 2018, acclaimed novelist Laura Elizabeth Woollett finds herself meticulously plotting her own death. Until her period arrives, and equilibrium with it. After years of dismissing these monthly turns, she’s diagnosed with premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD). Then, at 33, she falls pregnant and experiences a reprieve — but will it last? 
 
Through case studies, interviews, extensive medical research, forays into history, true crime, and algorithmic rabbit-holes, Woollett looks beyond herself to assemble a chorus of PMDD sufferers, along with dedicated scientists and clinicians. Navigating the impossible terrain between a potentially fatal disorder and treatments that can be almost as dangerous, Hell Days is a testament to the precarity and dignity of life as a periodically suicidal person in an often-brutal world.

Hidden History of Newark New Jersey

Helen Lippman

Brick City Past Revealed/ Newark's history is as diverse and powerful as the community that continues to call New Jersey's largest city home. The colonial settlement at Four Corners--the Broad and Market intersection--grew into one of the most heavily traveled thoroughfares in the nation. In the nineteenth century, innovations such as the public use of the electric light bulb in Military Park and the discovery of how to make patent leather established Newark as a flourishing industrial hub. Dramatic events including the battle between Nazi sympathizers and city residents in the 1930s, hearings held by the House Un-American Activities Committee in the 1950s and the event that triggered the infamous 1967 riots, defined a raucous twentieth century in Newark. Today, urban farming can be found in the Ironbound, NBA star Shaquille O'Neal has helped fund the city's first high-rise tower in fifty years and revitalization efforts continue. Author Helen Lippman presents hidden history of Newark, New Jersey.
