Synopsis

Silly Superstitions explores the fascinating world of superstitions, examining their cultural roots and psychological influences on human behavior. Bridging social science and psychology, the book investigates why these irrational beliefs persist even in modern societies. It reveals how superstitions, such as avoiding the number 13, offer psychological comfort in times of uncertainty and create a sense of control over unpredictable events. The book also points out that many superstitions originated as pre-scientific attempts to explain the world. 

 
The text delves into the historical context of superstitions, tracing their origins across different cultures and time periods. It also explores the psychological factors behind superstitious adherence, including the need for control and confirmation bias. 

 
The book progresses systematically, starting with definitions and historical origins, followed by psychological underpinnings and social impacts. It uses diverse evidence, from historical accounts to psychological experiments, to provide a comprehensive understanding of these pervasive cultural beliefs.

    The Baltic Sea is more than an inland sea – it is a historic geopolitical stage. From maritime travel in the Viking era toa NATO-dominated region, this brackish inland sea has been a lifeline for people and countries in northern Europe. The Baltic Sea has served as a hub for economic and political relations – with the dominance of the Hanseatic League in the Middle Ages, the Great Power Battles between Sweden, Poland-Lithuania and Russia, and the dramatic shifts in the aftermath of the Napoleonic Wars as well as two World Wars and the Cold War. But the Baltic Sea is also a place of cooperation. Since the fall of the Soviet Union, the region has been characterized by integration and growth – a development that once again is being challenged by new geopolitical tensions. How will the future be affected by energy flows, climate change and military strategies? In this comprehensive anthology, leading scholars in history, political science, international relations and other subjects are brought together to examine the driving forces that have formed the Baltic Sea region from the 13th century until today.

    The Law and the Promise pairs Neville’s core “Law” (assumption) with the “Promise” (spiritual awakening), illustrating both through numerous real-life case stories. You see how imaginal scenes, inner conviction, and persistence produce tangible outcomes - jobs, health, relationships, and opportunities - without forcing the outer world. The second thread points beyond results to revelation: a deeper unfolding of being. It’s one of Neville’s most popular, example-rich books.

    'I have been assured by a very knowing American of my acquaintance in London, that a young healthy child well nursed, is, at a year old, a most delicious nourishing and wholesome food, whether stewed, roasted, baked, or boiled; and I make no doubt that it will equally serve in a fricassee, or a ragout.'
    
    One of the most-studied pieces of satire in history, 'A Modest Proposal' is a darkly funny yet scathing critique of British colonialism from an Irish lens.
    
    First published in 1729 to much backlash, Swift goes to great lengths to illustrate a potential solution to poverty and overpopulation in Ireland: parents undergoing economic hardship ought to sell their children as food for the upper classes. A masterclass in irony, Swift delves into the financial benefits of his suggestion, even offering numerous ways to prepare babies for consumption. A powerful and shocking criticism of the dire conditions of Ireland and indifference of the British government at the time, 'A Modest Proposal' remains widely read to this day. This audiobook edition is narrated by the talented Malk Williams.
    Jonathan Swift (1667 – 1745) was an Irish writer and satirist, famed for his deadpan style of writing. He is best remembered for his satirical works 'A Modest Proposal (1729) and Gulliver's Travels (1726). A master in the art of irony, future works of satire in his style of hyperbole have subsequently been classed as 'Swiftian'.
