In Fascist Yoga, Stewart Home sweeps away the half-truths to reveal a new origin story of modern postural practice.

Among the many enigmas in the saga of the Kennedy assassination, Lee Harvey Oswald remains among the most enigmatic. The Warren Commission painted a portrait of a lone malcontent, but still could find no motive for his alleged actions. Some conspiracy books attempt to turn Oswald into a deep cover intelligence agent, always on assignment whether defecting to the Soviet Union or distributing pro-Castro pamphlets. Other authors ignore Oswald altogether.

But the photographic innovations more than a century ago that made such things possible were experimental, revelatory, and sometimes dangerous. In Flashes of Brilliance, New York Times photo editor Anika Burgess engagingly blends art, science, and social history to reveal the most dramatic developments in photography from its birth in the 1830s to the early twentieth century.

These lies are as old as time, and yet how readily we still believe them to this day. Believing the lies of Satan leads to a life of defeat and despair. But it doesn’t have to be this way! In The Devil’s Newsroom, Pastor Jeff Schreve tackles Satan’s fake news head on.

" Alors que j’achevais la rédaction de ce livre, la cérémonie d’ouverture des Jeux olympiques est venue raviver le feu de ma plume : la France est la victime d’un mémoricide. Une ablation de sa mémoire. Une spoliation, une péremption de ses souvenirs. L’Esprit français a été immolé. Toute ma vie, je me suis battu. Contre un progressisme en quête incessante des figures nouvelles de l’insolite et du fantasque.

When Richard Charnin saw the film Executive Action in 1973, he was astounded when the narrator disclosed that an actuary engaged by the London Sunday Times calculated a one in 100,000 trillion probability of eighteen material JFK-related witness deaths in the three years following the assassination. As a quantitative analyst with three degrees in applied mathematics, Charnin recognized that the calculation was mathematical proof of a conspiracy.

From WORDLE to SPELLING BEE, we live in a time of word game mania. Crosswords, in particular, gained renewed popularity during the Covid-19 lockdown, when games became another kind of refuge. Today, 36 million Americans solve crosswords once a week or more, and nearly 23 million solve them daily. Yet, as longtime New Yorker crossword contributor Natan Last will tell you, the seemingly apolitical puzzle has never been more controversial.

Over the past twenty-five years, pop culture has suffered from a perplexing lack of reinvention. We’ve entered a cultural “blank space”—an era when reboots, rehashes, and fads flourish, while bold artistic experimentation struggles to gain recognition. Why is risk no longer rewarded, and how did playing it safe become the formula for success? Acclaimed cultural historian W. David Marx sets out to uncover the answers.

Sinn, wo steckst du? – Warum wir über die falschen Dinge zu viel nachdenken. Jede Generation hat ihre eigene Krise.Um die Last des Informationszeitalters zu bewältigen, riskiert unser Verstand so manches Ausweichmanöver: Wir lassen uns von Online-Astrologen in Jobfragen beraten, vergöttern (oder verdammen) Taylor Swift, als sei sie unsere eigene Mutter, klicken uns paranoid durch Insta-Profile und bringen unser Weltbild durch Algorithmen ins Wanken.

Since her death, Sylvia Plath (1932–1963) has become an endless source of fascination for a wide audience ranging from readers of The Bell Jar, her semiautobiographical novel, to her groundbreaking poetry as exemplified by Ariel.

Renowned scholar Henry Jenkins demonstrates that the language that shaped a growing field of advice literature for parents also informed the period's fictions—in film, television, and elsewhere—produced for and consumed by children.

Doch seit Corona, dem Sturm aufs Kapitol, dem Ukraine-Krieg ist Radikalisierung zum Massenphänomen geworden.

L'Apocalisse non è una fantasia distopica, non è una remota possibilità. L'Apocalisse è intorno a noi: è negli aggiornamenti quotidiani sulla pandemia, è nei video YouTube sullo scioglimento dei ghiacciai, è nelle conversazioni quotidiane sul futuro. È sui giornali, sul web e sui social. Ma cosa sta facendo, concretamente, l'umanità per evitare la fine? Mark O'Connell ha intrapreso un viaggio alla ricerca di risposte.
