While Americans looked up to the moon, the Soviets looked down. In the frozen wastes of the Kola Peninsula, they spent 20 years drilling the deepest hole in history. The goal was the mantle. They reached 12,262 meters (7.6 miles) before the laws of physics stopped them.This book documents the engineering marvel of the Kola Superdeep Borehole. It debunks the urban legend that they "heard the screams of hell," but the scientific reality was stranger: At that depth, rock behaves like plastic, and water exists where it shouldnt. It is a story of extreme engineering, Cold War rivalry, and the crushing heat that protects the Earths secrets.

On August 21, 1986, the farmers around Lake Nyos in Cameroon went to sleep in a silent valley. By morning, every living thing1,746 people, 3,500 livestock, even the flieswas dead. There was no fire, no flood, and no violence. The killer was the lake itself.This book investigates the terrifying phenomenon of a limnic eruption, where a lake "burps" a massive cloud of carbon dioxide, displacing oxygen and drowning a valley in invisible gas. It follows the scientific detective story to understand the event, the race to degas the lake before it strikes again, and the geological ticking time bombs hiding in crater lakes around the world. A gripping look at how the earth breathes, and sometimes, holds its breath too long.

You think you know what you like. But do you? In a famous experiment, researchers Petter Johansson and Lars Hall asked people to taste two jams and pick their favorite. Then, using a sleight-of-hand trick, they swapped the jars and asked the subjects to explain why they liked the chosen jam. Shockingly, most people didnt notice they were eating the rejected flavorand happily invented reasons why it was superior.This phenomenon is called "Choice Blindness." This book explores how our brains rationalize decisions after we make them, rather than before. It reveals that we are often strangers to our own preferences, easily manipulated by outcomes we never wanted. A disturbing but necessary look at the illusion of free will in the supermarket and the voting booth.

In 1939, speech pathologist Wendell Johnson believed that stuttering was a learned behavior, not a biological defect. To prove it, he conducted an experiment at an orphanage in Iowa. He took twenty-two children, half of whom spoke perfectly fine, and subjected them to intense negative therapy, telling them they were developing a stutter and must not speak unless they could do so perfectly.Known today as the "Monster Study," this experiment ruined the lives of children who were shamed into silence. This book exposes the dark side of academia, where the pursuit of a hypothesis overrode basic humanity. It tracks the lifelong trauma of the subjects ("The Mary Tudor group") and the decades-long cover-up by a university that knew it had crossed the line.

The Magic Mountain (German: Der Zauberberg) is a novel by Thomas Mann, first published in German in November 1924. It is widely considered to be one of the most influential works of twentieth-century German literature.Mann started writing what was to become The Magic Mountain in 1912. It began as a much shorter narrative which revisited in a comic manner aspects of Death in Venice, a novella that he was preparing for publication. The newer work reflected his experiences and impressions during a period when his wife, who was suffering from a lung complaint, resided at Dr. Friedrich Jessens Waldsanatorium in Davos, Switzerland for several months. In May and June 1912, Mann visited her and became acquainted with the team of doctors and patients in this cosmopolitan institution. According to Mann, in the afterword that was later included in the English translation of his novel, this stay inspired his opening chapter ("Arrival").The outbreak of World War I interrupted his work on the book. The savage conflict and its aftermath led the author to undertake a major re-examination of European bourgeois society. He explored the sources of the destructiveness displayed.

The People That Time Forgot is a fantasy novel by American writer Edgar Rice Burroughs, the second of his Caspak trilogy. The sequence was first published in Blue Book Magazine as a three-part serial in the issues for September, October and November 1918, with The People That Time Forgot forming the second installment. The complete trilogy was later combined for publication in book form under the title of The Land That Time Forgot (properly speaking the title of the first part) in 1924.The People That Time Forgot is a direct sequel to The Land That Time Forgot and continues the lost world saga begun in the earlier story. Burroughs continues the revelation of his lost worlds unique biological system, only hinted at in the previous installment, in which the slow progress of evolution in the world outside is recapitulated as a matter of individual metamorphosis. This system forms a thematic element serving to unite the three otherwise rather loosely linked Caspak stories.The novel begins with the organization of an expedition to rescue Bowen J. Tyler, Lys La Rue, and the other castaways marooned on the large Antarctic island of Caprona.

This exceptional collection of essays explores the persistence of misogyny: how it is woven into the fabric of our culture, our institutions, and our psyches. Building on her first book, Misogyny in Psychoanalysis, Michaela Chamberlain moves on from a conversation to a demand for action. Drawing on her experiences as a psychotherapist, mother, and researcher, she uses psychoanalytic theory to examine what causes misogyny and how misogyny is internalised, enacted, and justified. Revisiting Freuds case of Dora and Winnicotts concept of the "good enough mother", she explores how these foundational psychoanalytic ideas continue to echo in contemporary expectations placed on women - particularly around sexuality, care, and emotional labour. These essays bridge past and present, theory and lived experience, to ask what has really changed and include a much-needed update to Winnicotts list of reasons why a mother hates her baby. From online discussion forums to classical literature, from consulting room dynamics to cultural narratives, Chamberlain investigates how misogyny hides in plain sight, often disguised as common sense, tradition, or even progressive thinking. Her work questions who benefits from patriarchy, who is harmed, and how all of us - regardless of gender - are shaped by its assumptions. Accessible yet deeply informed, On Resisting Women invites readers into a debate about how we think, how we feel, and how we might begin to loosen misogynys grip - not only on our systems, but on our inner worlds.
