The Devil's Best Trick - Randall Sullivan - Bog - Atlantic Books - Plusbog.dk

The Devil's Best Trick - Randall Sullivan - Bog - Atlantic Books - Plusbog.dk

How we explain the evils of the world - and the darkest parts of ourselves - has preoccupied humans throughout history.In The Devil''s Best Trick , Randall Sullivan investigates historical, religious and cultural conceptions of evil, from Biblical times to European witch hunts to the devil-worshipping ''Black Mass'' ceremony. He travels to Mexico to participate in the ''Hour of the Witches'' - an annual ceremony in which hundreds of people congregate in the jungle south of Vera Cruz to negotiate terms with El Diablo. He takes us through the most famous exorcism in American history. And he delivers original reporting on the shocking story of a small town in Texas that, in 1988, unravelled into paranoia and panic after a seventeen-year-old boy was found hanging from a tree and rumours about Satanic worship and cults flourished.Nimble and expertly researched, The Devil''s Best Trick brilliantly melds cultural and historical commentary with a suspenseful true-crime narrative. Randall Sullivan, whose reportage and narrative skill has been called ''extraordinary'' and ''enthralling'' by Rolling Stone, takes on a bold task in this book that is both biography of the Devil and a look at how evil manifests in the world.

I pack my bags, talk to the survivors, write my stories, then go home to wait for the next catastrophe. I don''t wait very long. Journalist Patricia Evangelista came of age in the aftermath of a street revolution that forged a new future for the Philippines. Three decades later, in the face of mounting inequality, the nation discovered the fragility of its democratic institutions under the regime of strongman Rodrigo Duterte. Some People Need Killing is Evangelista''s meticulously reported and deeply human chronicle of the Philippines'' drug war. For six years, Evangelista chronicled the killings carried out by police and vigilantes in the name of Duterte''s war on drugs - a war that has led to the slaughter of thousands - immersing herself in the world of killers and survivors and capturing the atmosphere of fear created when an elected president decides that some lives are worth less than others.The book takes its title from a vigilante whose words seemed to reflect the psychological accommodation that most of the country had made: ''I''m really not a bad guy,'' he said. ''I''m not all bad. Some people need killing.''A profound act of witness and a tour de force of literary journalism, Some People Need Killing is also a brilliant dissection of the grammar of violence and an important investigation of the human impulses to dominate and resist.

Beginners - Tom Vanderbilt - Bog - Atlantic Books - Plusbog.dk

''Beginners belongs on the list of books that have changed the way I understand my own limitations.'' Malcolm Gladwell For many of us, the last time we learned a new skill was during childhood. We live in an age which reveres expertise but looks down on the beginner. Upon entering adulthood and middle age, we begin to shy away from trying new things, instead preferring to stay nestled firmly in our comfort zones. Beginners asks the question: why are children the only ones allowed to experience the inherent fun of facing daily challenges? And could we benefit from embracing new skills, even if we''re initially hopeless? Bestselling author Tom Vanderbilt sets out to find the answer, tasking himself with acquiring several new skills under the tutelage of professionals, including drawing, juggling, surfing and much more. Witty and often surprisingly profound, Beginners is an uplifting exploration of the science of brain plasticity and how we can learn how to learn anew.
