The Trickster and the Paranormal
Paranormal and supernatural events have been reported for millennia. They have fostered history’s most important cultural transformations (e.g., via the miracles of Moses, Jesus, Mohammed). Paranormal phenomena are frequently portrayed in the world’s greatest art and literature, as well as in popular TV shows and movies. Most adults in the U.S. believe in them. Yet they have a marginal place in modern culture. No university departments are devoted to studying psychic phenomena. In fact, a panoply of scientists now aggressively denounces them. These facts present a deeply puzzling situation. But they become coherent after pondering the trickster figure, an archaic being found worldwide in mythology and folklore. The trickster governs paradox and the irrational, but his messages are concealed. This book draws upon theories of the trickster from anthropology, folklore, sociology, semiotics, and literary criticism. It examines psychic phenomena and UFOs and explains why they are so problematical for science.

Graphic
Today, almost anyone can upload and disseminate newsworthy content online, which has radically transformed our information ecosystem. Yet this often leaves us exposed to content produced without ethical or professional guidelines. In Graphic, Alexa Koenig and Andrea Lampros examine this dynamic and share best practices for safely navigating our digital world. Drawing on the latest social science research, original interviews, and their experiences running the world's first university-based digital investigations lab, Koenig and Lampros provide practical tips for maximizing the benefits and minimizing the harms of being online. In the wake of the global pandemic, they ask: How are people processing graphic news as they spend more time online? What practices can newsrooms, social media companies, and social justice organizations put in place to protect their employees from vicarious trauma and other harms? Timely and urgent, Graphic helps us navigate the unprecedented psychological implications of the digital age.

The Covid Bounce
Healing from a life-changing crisis can be an incredible struggle, and recovering from a globally traumatic event like the Covid-19 pandemic might seem nearly insurmountable. But in truth, each person holds the power to internalize new life lessons and emerge from the pandemic stronger than before. This book provides the knowledge and tools for looking inward, assessing personal transitions spurred by the coronavirus and paving the way for a brighter post-pandemic life. Written by a behavioral therapist, this book is divided into three sections that address different psychological responses to Covid-19. Sections provide insights on mindfulness, journaling, communication skills, support systems and the importance of rituals and routines. An emphasis is placed on managing both physical and mental health and navigating pitfalls that can impact personal progress. A special section on the pandemic's effect on children and adolescents explores how caregivers can manage their own emotional responses. Finally, the book concludes with a straightforward recovery process that will provide renewal and purpose in the face of life's uncertainties.
