THOUGHT AS PASSION (First Edition)

Robert Jay Lifton

Looking great, almost like new despite being a used book.

Aum Shinrikyo, Apocalyptic Violence, and the New Global Terrorism

National Book Award winner and renowned psychiatrist Robert Jay Lifton reveals a world at risk from millennial cults intent on ending it all.

Since the earliest moments of recorded history, prophets and gurus have foretold the world's end, but only in the nuclear age has it been possible for a megalomaniac guru with a world-ending vision to bring his prophecy to pass. Now Robert Jay Lifton offers a vivid and disturbing case in point in this chilling exploration of Aum Shinrikyo, the Japanese cult that released sarin nerve gas in the Tokyo subways.

With unprecedented access to former Aum members, Lifton has produced a pathbreaking study of the inner life of a modern millennial cult. He shows how Aum's guru Shoko Asahara (charismatic spiritual leader, con man, madman) created a religion from a global stew of New Age thinking, ancient rituals, and apocalyptic science fiction, then recruited scientists as disciples and set them to producing weapons of mass destruction. Taking stock as well of Charles Manson, Heaven's Gate, and the Oklahoma City bombers, Lifton confronts the frightening possibility of a twenty-first century in which cults and terrorists may be able to bring about their own holocausts.
Bold and compelling, Destroying the World to Save It charts the emergence of a new global threat of urgent concern to us all.

Carl Anderson

Light Hardcover (1 lb or less)

What Every Catholic Can Do to Transform the World

Carl Anderson, Supreme Knight of the Knights of Columbus, surveys the exciting and history-changing ideas of Pope John Paul II in A Civilization of Love. By popularizing not only John Paul's vision but also that of his successor, Benedict XVI, Anderson hopes to inspire Christians to work toward creating a civilization of love. In such a civilization every person is a child of God. We are all intrinsically valuable. The battle today is between the culture of death (where people are judged by their social or economic value) and the culture of life. Anderson pushes aside religious differences in order to spread a message of hope to those who are weary of the constant turmoil of modern society. While he does specifically challenge Christians to take an active role in their faith, you do not have to be a Christian to participate in the movement toward a civilization of love. By embracing the culture of life and standing with those most marginalized and deemed "useless" or a "burden" on modern society, Christians can change the tone and direction of our culture. Anderson demonstrates that regardless of our differences, we can come together on the centrality of loving and caring for others. He brings a message of inclusion and hope in the midst of a clash of civilizations and provides a road map for helping Christians understand their role in the world.

Tina Brown

Inside the House of Windsor--The Truth and the Turmoil

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * The "addictively readable" (The Washington Post) inside story of the British royal family's battle to overcome the dramas of the Diana years--only to confront new, twenty-first-century crises
 
"Brown is a deft and wily royal chronicler, marshaling a heavy arsenal of details into a wickedly edible narrative."--Los Angeles Times

"Never again" became Queen Elizabeth II's mantra shortly after Princess Diana's tragic death. More specif­ically, there could never be "another Diana"--a mem­ber of the family whose global popularity upstaged, outshone, and posed an existential threat to the Brit­ish monarchy.

Picking up where Tina Brown's masterful The Diana Chronicles left off, The Palace Papers reveals how the royal family reinvented itself after the trau­matic years when Diana's blazing celebrity ripped through the House of Windsor like a comet.

Brown takes readers on a tour de force journey through the scandals, love affairs, power plays, and betrayals that have buffeted the monarchy over the last twenty-five years. We see the Queen's stoic re­solve after the passing of Princess Margaret, the Queen Mother, and Prince Philip, her partner for seven decades, and how she triumphs in her Jubilee years even as family troubles rage around her. Brown explores Prince Charles's determination to make Camilla Parker Bowles his wife, the tension between William and Harry on "different paths," the ascend­ance of Kate Middleton, the downfall of Prince An­drew, and Harry and Meghan's stunning decision to step back as senior royals. Despite the fragile monar­chy's best efforts, "never again" seems fast approaching.

Tina Brown has been observing and chronicling the British monarchy for three decades, and her sweeping account is full of powerful revelations, newly reported details, and searing insight gleaned from remarkable access to royal insiders. Stylish, witty, and erudite, The Palace Papers will irrevoca­bly change how the world perceives and under­stands the royal family.

Matthew Tyler Giobbi

In this text Dr. Giobbi moves far past the standard cause and effect thinking that is sometimes associated with media psychology. Much like William James of the early twentieth century, Dr. Giobbi is examining not only the concepts in their own right, but also the relations between such concepts. Dr. Giobbi uses this style to call on a multidiscipline approach to illuminate a detailed understanding. The text touches on concepts ranging from psychology, philosophy, art and neuroscience. This multidiscipline approach creates an all-encompassing approach to media psychology and will expose undergraduate students to a new way of thinking.

Ryuho Okawa

Seeing Through the Past, Present, and Future of the New American President

Donald Trump's victory in the 2016 presidential election surprised almost all major vote forecasters who predicted Hillary Clinton's victory. But 10 months earlier, in January 2016, Ryuho Okawa, Global Visionary, a renowned spiritual leader, and international best-selling author, had already foreseen Trump's victory. This book contains a series of lectures and interviews that unveil the secrets to Trump's victory and makes predictions of what will happen under his presidency. This book predicts the coming of a new America that will go through a great transformation from the "red and blue states" to the United States. Chapter 1 is based on Okawa's lecture given the day after the 2016 presidential election. It forecasts what will happen as a result of Trump's victory, including the end of the Middle East conflict, the U.S. economic strategies against China, Trump's measures against illegal immigrants, his tax policies, and America's future relations with Russia. Chapter 2 is based on Okawa's public talk given in New York in October 2016. This chapter is Okawa's empowering and encouraging message to the people of the United States of America. He calls on Americans to become aware of America's role as the world leader once again so that we can together achieve freedom, justice, and happiness. Chapter 3 is based on an interview session recorded in September 2016. In this interview, George Washington speaks through Okawa, and answers questions on various topics, such as views on the 2016 U.S. presidential election, an evaluation of the eight years of Obama administration, and a vision of America in the 21st century. Chapter 4 unveils Donald Trump's subconscious thoughts, or his honest feelings and intentions, about various issues including Muslim immigration, media's criticisms against him, Chinese expansionism and his plans to "make America great again." Okawa's prediction of Donald Trump's victory in this lecture given on January 5, 2016 came true 10 months later in November 2016.

Milton and Some Contemporaries

The Restoration, which re-established Charles II as king of England in 1660, marked the end of "God’s cause" -- a struggle for liberty and republican freedom. While most accounts of this period concentrate on the court, Christopher Hill focuses on those who mourned the passing of the most radical era in English history. The radical protestant clergy, as well as republican intellectuals and writers generally, had to explain why providence had forsaken the agents of God’s work. In The Experience of Defeat, Christopher Hill explores the writings and lives of the Levellers, the Ranters and the Diggers, as well as the work of George Fox and other important early Quakers. Some of them were pursued by the new regime, forced into hiding or exile; others compelled to recant. In particular Hill examines John Milton’s late work, arguing that it came directly out of a painful reassessment of man and society that impelled him to "justify the ways of God to Man".
