Download or read book The Science of Weird Shit written by Chris French and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2024-03-19 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An accessible and gratifying introduction to the world of paranormal beliefs and bizarre experiences. Ghostly encounters, alien abduction, reincarnation, talking to the dead, UFO sightings, inexplicable coincidences, out-of-body and near-death experiences. Are these legitimate phenomena? If not, then how should we go about understanding them? In this fascinating book, Chris French investigates paranormal claims to discover what lurks behind this “weird shit.” French provides authoritative evidence-based explanations for a wide range of superficially mysterious phenomena, and then goes further to draw out lessons with wider applications to many other aspects of modern society where critical thinking is urgently needed. Using academic, comprehensive, logical, and, at times, mathematical approaches, The Science of Weird Shit convincingly debunks ESP, communicating with the dead, and alien abduction claims, among other phenomena. All the while, however, French maintains that our belief in such phenomena is neither ridiculous nor trivial; if anything, such claims can tell us a great deal about the human mind if we pay them the attention they are due. Filled with light-bulb moments and a healthy dose of levity, The Science of Weird Shit is a clever, memorable, and gratifying read you won’t soon forget.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After witnessing the unlikely love story of his older sister, Logan, mama’s-boy-turned-dope boy, Egypt, is doing his best to accept the fact that he won’t be able to run forever. After losing his mother and every sense of belonging that he’d ever had, Egypt has become a lover of the streets and nothing more. Outside of his best friend, Auto, and respected gang leader BB, Egypt has love for nothing and no one. If it wasn’t about his sister, his gang, or his money, Egypt didn’t have time to entertain the joys of life, with women being one of his biggest casualties. He was young and on the come up. The last thing he had time for was falling in love. Unfortunately, hood prostitute, Dream, had other things in mind. She may have been around the block a few times too many, but not even that could deter her from the love she had for Egypt. Sure, they’d hated each other for years, but even he knew that was all a façade to cover up how she made him feel. With a made up mind, and a spitfire attitude, Dream allowed Egypt to do everything in his power to avoid her until one day he finally allowed his truest feelings to be revealed. If there’s ever been a love story that should have never been told, it was theirs. At least that was what they thought until giving their hearts a chance to stitch together in the most imperfect way.

Ezra King is on leave from the state police, but he can’t escape the guilty memories that haunt his dreams. When he sees Lena, he is immediately drawn to her. He aches to touch her—to be touched by her—but is he too burdened by his tragic past to get close? When Ezra hears her story of an unknown woman’s screams, his instincts tell him that Lena’s life is also at risk—and his desire to protect her is as fierce as his need to possess her.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A WW II and Korean War pilot and hero, a patriotic, middle American farmer who’d trusted his government with two sons in Vietnam, and been betrayed in that, after having his farm largely controlled by his government all his life, is in jeopardy of losing his homestead of 150 years. After his death, his sons scramble to hold onto the farm and make sense of all this and each other. A seed that Deke, the middle of three sons, and Barrett, his friend had brought back from Vietnam seventeen years earlier and kept pure, becomes a means of saving the farm, but in the process the hallucinogen from the seed begins to warn them of some imminent catastrophe through raining creatures and Barrett’s visions. The plant the government’s trying to suppress brings them signs and warnings about what their government’s doing, as Barrett begins seeing Vietnamese spirits or “visitors” in the woods and fields when he ingests the stuff. Creature Storms is a rawly told and original work, a grounded human story of three brothers and a blood brother, their love for and struggle with each other, their country, and the sacrifices they make to hold onto their land which they had already risked their lives in war to protect. Politically timely, Creature Storms unfolds on a number of dramatic levels that build into an apocalyptic ending.

Book excerpt: Stephen King’s unforgettable novella—first included in his 1990, award-winning collection Four Past Midnight and made into a highly acclaimed miniseries—about a terrifying plane ride into a most unfriendly sky. On a cross-country, redeye flight from Los Angeles to Boston, ten passengers awaken in Bangor, Maine, to find that the crew and most of their fellow passengers have disappeared. The airport shows no signs of life. Yet they hear “radio static” in the distance. Craig Toomey, an irritable investment banker on the verge of a breakdown, believes it is “The Langoliers,” monsters he was afraid of as a child who attack those who waste time. It’s mystery author Bob Jenkins who first theorizes that they have flown through a time rip. Bob declares they have entered a place that forbids time travelers to observe or interfere with past events. It turns out that Craig is right, in a way. Two creatures, followed by hundreds more, emerge from the forest and head for the plane, consuming everything in their path. Can the survivors manage to fly the plane back to Los Angeles, back to the correct time, before The Langoliers succeed in their deadly mission to destroy the plane and the world? Dinah Bellman, the young blind girl whose aunt did not survive the time rip, has the greatest insight of all. A spine-tingling, propulsive novella, The Langoliers is a brilliant read from the masterful Stephen King.
