Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. For centuries, crowds gathered beneath painted banners, inside travelling tents, outside fairground booths, and along the noisy midways of circuses and dime museums to stare at human beings advertised as wonders, marvels, monsters, curiosities, living miracles, and strange mistakes of nature. Behind the bright posters and theatrical promises stood a darker and far more complicated history: one shaped by poverty, showmanship, exploitation, survival, medicine, disability, racism, public curiosity, and the human need to turn difference into spectacle.The History of the Freak Show examines the rise, popularity, decline, and uneasy legacy of one of the most controversial forms of entertainment in modern history. From early cabinets of curiosities and travelling fairs to Victorian sideshows, American dime museums, circus midways, medical exhibitions, photographic postcards, and early cinema, this book explores how the so-called "freak show" became a powerful commercial industry and a disturbing mirror of the societies that supported it.This is not a book written to mock or sensationalise the people who appeared on those stages. Instead, it looks beyond the poster paint and promotional lies to consider the real individuals behind the banners: performers who were exploited, displayed, misrepresented, managed, controlled, celebrated, pitied, feared, admired, and sometimes able to turn public curiosity into income, independence, travel, and fame. Some were victims of cruel showmen and unforgiving social conditions. Others were skilled professionals who understood the stage, negotiated their identities, and survived in a world that offered them few alternatives.Through detailed historical discussion, the book examines the role of showmen such as P. T. Barnum, the rise of human curiosity exhibitions, the language of old sideshow advertising, the display of disabled bodies, the racial and colonial fantasies built into many acts, the lives of women performers, the use of children in entertainment, the relationship between medicine and spectacle, and the changing moral attitudes that eventually helped bring the traditional freak show into decline.Dark, serious, and deeply human, The History of the Freak Show is a study of far more than circus tents and sideshow stages. It is a history of the public gaze itself. It asks why people paid to look, what they believed they were seeing, who profited from that attention, and what the whole disturbing spectacle reveals about cruelty, fascination, survival, and the uncomfortable boundaries between entertainment and exploitation.This book uncovers a world where the real subject was never only the people on display, but the society that bought the ticket.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Frames is a simple sci-fi story with fictional physics, silly math, donnish puns, and characters who march along to their fates with the inevitability of a Bach fugue.Frames is not fantasy; it's not space opera; there's no magic, no superheros, no politics - just geeks who love their work, love each other, do what's next, and save the world - twice.There are some complications: a fully deterministic 4d+t universe with an allowable form of time travel; aliens who want all of us dead; two different FTL drives that turn out to be the same; and that most fictional of all things imaginable: competent Space Force commanders in the right place at the right time.Frames, in the words of a long dead 60s hippie, 'is messed up, man', but if you know some math (and maybe some physics) it might make sense; if you've been in grad school, it might make sense; and if you've served umm, well, umm: it's fiction, okay (About 65K words).…

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. Most democrats are fine people, people just like you, who are genuinely committed to American values like free speech and equal justice for all, but refuse to see voting fraud, secretly think that Charlie Kirk deserved it, quietly support those who want climate deniers jailed or executed, and absolutely insist on the right to abort children, castrate boys, and submit teenage girls to "top surgery" on demand.The behavior is clinically insane: an indulged compulsion to act directly against the person's own most closely held values. And yet, most of the those afflicted are perfectly normal, likable, people in every other aspect of their lives. So how can this be?The essays in this book offer an explanation - but it's a big subject and we have to go back to Exodus, Malthus, and post WWII social research on Christianity, economics, and cult behavior to understand how the democratic party has come to be run by sociopaths, psychopaths, and criminals; why we're now seeing a resurgence in leftist violence against people like you and me; and, what it might take to save the vast majority of those being swept along because they simply don't know better.
