Bloody Crossroads 2020 takes a deep dive into the role that mass-appeal movies, television, videos, and music played in America's political culture in the year of Donald Trump's failed reelection campaign.

Featuring profiles of Machu Picchu, the Nazca Lines, and other archaeological mysteries, Impossible Truths shines a startling new light on the true relationship between alien species and humankind.

The author of the acclaimed Advice for Future Corpses (and Those Who Love Them) brings “her singular sensibility, her genius for language, her love of our deeply imperfect world” (Karen Karbo, author of In Praise of Difficult Women) to this insightful exploration of reality TV and the shifting definitions of truth in America.

As a deafblind woman with partial vision in one eye and bilateral hearing aids, Elsa Sjunneson lives at the crossroads of blindness and sight, hearing and deafness—much to the confusion of the world around her. And she knows how wrong our one-size-fits-all definitions of disability can be. Part memoir, part cultural criticism, part history of the deafblind experience, Being Seen explores how our cultural concept of disability is more myth than fact, and the damage it does to us all.

In Conspiracy U, Shay presents a case study of his alma mater, Northwestern University, in order to challenge the proliferation of anti-Zionist conspiracy theories championed on college campuses by both the far right and far left. Shay tackles the thorny question of how otherwise brilliant minds willingly come to embrace and espouse such patent falsehoods. He explains why Zionism, the movement for Jewish national self-determination, has become the focal point for both far-right and far-left conspiracy theories.

Acht Monate lang tauchte Tobias Ginsburg inkognito in die Szene der "Reichsbürger" und rechten Verschwörungstheoretiker ein. Er baute sich eine Scheinidentität im Netz auf und bewegte sich unter AfD-Politikern, gewaltbereiten Neonazis und friedensbewegten Esoterikern in Braun, Sektierern und Systemumstürzlern. Sein Buch ist ein ebenso erschütternder wie komischer Streifzug durch eine Welt böser Verführer und verführter Irregeleiteter, das zugleich einen neuen, literarischen Ton in die investigative Reportage einführt.

When Moya Bailey first coined the term misogynoir, she defined it as the ways anti-Black and misogynistic representation shape broader ideas about Black women, particularly in visual culture and digital spaces. She had no idea that the term would go viral, touching a cultural nerve and quickly entering into the lexicon. Misogynoir now has its own Wikipedia page and hashtag, and has been featured on Comedy Central’s The Daily Show and CNN’s Cuomo Prime Time.

Operating under the pseudonym A. Mason, without reservation, he reveals all of the masonic signs, grips, passwords, illegal oaths, and the most important portions of the secret ceremonies in general use through the world, given verbatim, including the history of the mysterious Hiram Abiff.

In Abundance, Pablo J. Boczkowski builds upon what we know about the historical and contemporary scholarship to develop a novel framework on the experience of living in a society that has more information available to the public than ever before, focusing on the interpretations, emotions, and practices of dealing with this abundance in everyday life.

The origins of COVID-19 are shrouded in mystery. Scientists and government officials insisted, for a year and a half, that the virus had a natural origin, ridiculing anyone who dared contradict this view. Tech giants swept the internet, censoring and silencing debate in the most extreme fashion. Yet it is undeniable that a secretive facility in Wuhan was immersed in genetically manipulating bat-coronaviruses in perilous experiments. And as soon as the news of an outbreak in Wuhan leaked, the Chinese military took control and gagged all laboratory insiders.

In the 21st century, humanity is reaching new heights of scientific understanding - and at the same time appears to be losing its mind. How can a species that developed vaccines for COVID-19 in less than a year produce so much fake news, medical quackery, and conspiracy theorizing? Pinker rejects the cynical cliché that humans are an irrational species - cavemen out of time saddled with biases, fallacies, and illusions.

Journalists today are inundated with data about which stories attract the most clicks, likes, comments, and shares. These metrics influence what stories are written, how news is promoted, and even which journalists get hired and fired. Do metrics make journalists more accountable to the public? Or are these data tools the contemporary equivalent of a stopwatch wielded by a factory boss, worsening newsroom working conditions and journalism quality?

Der Ton wird schärfer, die Probleme nicht kleiner - in Deutschland wird heftig diskutiert. Die Lager stehen sich zunehmend unversöhnlicher gegenüber. "Alte weiße Männer", denen die Meinungsvorherrschaft abgesprochen wird, auf der einen Seite, junge schwarze Frauen, die, kaum gehört, der Ideologie verdächtigt werden. Dazwischen Wutbürger, Verschwörungserzähler, pöbelnde Klakeure. Vor allem in den sozialen Medien geht es hoch her, niemand will mehr zuhören, alle senden, keiner will empfangen. Zwischen grenzenloser Empörung und großer Empfindlichkeit wabern die Debatten hin und her.

Este es un audiolibro de investigación al que los autores han dedicado cerca de dos años. El resultado es este trabajo polémico compuesto por las biografías de once hombres y una mujer que controlan el 70 por 100 de la información mundial. Los autores nos cuentan como Silvio Berlusconi paso de vender aspiradoras a construir su imperio televisivo; esta es la primera biografía autorizada de Jesús de Polanco, así como los comienzos de El País, diario que en 1996 celebro sus veinte años de existencia.

Der Verschwörungskult um QAnon fabuliert von einer Elite, die das Blut gefolterter Kinder trinke. Selbsternannte Skeptiker wettern gegen vermeintliche Impfkartelle. Andere wähnen sich mitten in Deutschland in einer versteckten Diktatur. Auch wenn sie in immer neuer Gestalt daherkommen, Verschwörungstheorien durchziehen die Geschichte. Dabei verlaufen sie stets nach demselben Muster - das kaum jemand so treffend erkannt und brillant beschrieben hat wie Umberto Eco.

Nearly 20 years ago, on 11 September 2001, four passenger aircraft were hijacked and flown into the World Trade Center in New York, the Pentagon near Washington and a field in Shanksville, Pennsylvania. Nearly 3,000 people were killed. The narrative in the weeks and months that followed seemed straightforward: the attacks had been masterminded by al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden, an embittered terrorist with an abiding hatred of the West. But, as the 20-year anniversary approaches, that neat explanation still fails to answer some important questions surrounding that fateful day.

Investigative journalist Peter Tremblay suggests that COVID-19 is essentially a weapon of mass destruction (WMD) unleashed against humanity because of ideological goals. COVID-19 was spawned from the minds of evil men who seek to depopulate our planet Earth and pursue unlimited control over the remainder of a population that will no longer be the "humans" we are presently.
