White Rural Rage Is an Utterly Misleading Book

admin

Rage is the subject of a new book by the political scientist Tom Schaller and the journalist Paul Waldman. White Rural Rage, specifically. In 255 pages, the authors chart the racism, homophobia, xenophobia, violent predilections, and vulnerability to authoritarianism that they claim make white rural voters a unique “threat to American democracy.” White Rural Rage is a screed lobbed at a familiar target of elite liberal ire. Despite this, or perhaps because of it, the authors appeared on

It ‘celebrates London council estates in all their diversity, championing the neglected alongside the distinguished’ and honours their ‘immeasurable contribution to the social and architectural fabric of the capital’.

Among its pages are 275 estates across

What your most terrifying nightmares REALLY mean – and how to train yourself to turn them into happy dreams, by a top brain surgeon in a fascinating new book

admin

Novelist Stephen King, the so-called ‘King of Horror’, was asleep on a transatlantic flight to London when he had a nightmare about an insane woman who held captive and mutilated her favourite writer. The result was the bestselling book Misery and later a film that won an Oscar for Kathy Bates for her chilling performance as the mad woman.

The Shining, director Stanley Kubrick’s master­piece with the unforgettably scary Jack Nicholson in the lead role, was similarly inspired. King and

Revealed: What it REALLY means when you cheat on your partner in your dreams (and what you must do the next morning) – by a top neurosurgeon in a fascinating new book

admin

For me, as a neurosurgeon and a research scientist, dreams hold a particular fascination. Having spent my life immersed in the brain, I am not only infatuated by its infinite complexity but captivated to the point of obsession by what remains one of its greatest and most mysterious features — dreaming.

The source of dreams is the same as all mental activity, waves of electricity moving across the brain every moment we’re alive. Dreams are a product of normal brain

admin

Book Soup, West Hollywoods traditionsreiche Buchhandlung, ist die dritte Station auf der Debüt-Buchtour des „Stranger Things“-Schauspielers Brett Gelman, die seinen Auftritt absagt, nachdem sie aus Protest gegen die Veranstaltung Ablehnung und empörte Nachrichten erhalten hat.
