Vampire Legends in Contemporary American Culture

What Becomes a Legend Most

By: William Patrick Day

While vampire stories have been part of popular culture since the beginning of the nineteenth century, it has been in recent decades that they have become a central part of American culture. Vampire Legends in Contemporary American Culture looks at how vampire stories—from Bram Stoker's Dracula to Blacula, from Bela Lugosi's films to Love at First Bite—have become part of our ongoing debate about what it means to be human. William Patrick Day looks at how writers and filmmakers as diverse as Anne Rice and Andy Warhol present the vampire as an archetype of human identity, as well as how many post-modern vampire stories reflect our fear and attraction to stories of addiction and violence. He argues that contemporary stories use the character of Dracula to explore modern values, and that stories of vampire slayers, such as the popular television series Buffy the Vampire Slayer, integrate current feminist ideas and the image of the Vietnam veteran into a new heroic version of the vampire story.

A Brotherhood of Liberty

Black Reconstruction and Its Legacies in Baltimore, 1865-1920

By: Dennis Patrick Halpin

In A Brotherhood of Liberty, Dennis Patrick Halpin shifts the focus of the black freedom struggle from the Deep South to argue that Baltimore is key to understanding the trajectory of civil rights in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. In the 1870s and early 1880s, a dynamic group of black political leaders migrated to Baltimore from rural Virginia and Maryland. These activists, mostly former slaves who subsequently trained in the ministry, pushed Baltimore to fulfill Reconstruction's promise of racial equality. In doing so, they were part of a larger effort among African Americans to create new forms of black politics by founding churches, starting businesses, establishing community centers, and creating newspapers. Black Baltimoreans successfully challenged Jim Crow regulations on public transit, in the courts, in the voting booth, and on the streets of residential neighborhoods. They formed some of the nation's earliest civil rights organizations, including the United Mutual Brotherhood of Liberty, to define their own freedom in the period after the Civil War. Halpin shows how black Baltimoreans' successes prompted segregationists to reformulate their tactics. He examines how segregationists countered activists' victories by using Progressive Era concerns over urban order and corruption to criminalize and disenfranchise African Americans. Indeed, he argues the Progressive Era was crucial in establishing the racialized carceral state of the twentieth-century United States. Tracing the civil rights victories scored by black Baltimoreans that inspired activists throughout the nation and subsequent generations, A Brotherhood of Liberty highlights the strategies that can continue to be useful today, as well as the challenges that may be faced.

How to Cure Anxiety in Just Five Therapy Sessions

An Innovative Guide for Clinical Hypnotists and Psychotherapists

By: Patrick McCarthy

The purpose of this book is to carefully explain to therapists, who may have little or no experience with hypnosis, a simple therapeutic solution to anxiety and panic that often cures patients. My method works by addressing the answer to HOW we become anxious (the mechanisms that always exist) and not WHY we become anxious or WHAT makes us anxious. It is different than other methods because it essentially forgoes much if any history taking, which many patients enjoy as it so unexpected and different from any other therapists before. It focuses on the patient feeling understood rather than heard. Using this unorthodox method can transform your practice by quickly curing and relieving anxiety and panic in many patients. The book begins on the opening page with a joke but the joke is a powerful metaphor for my philosophical approach to therapy. The book conveys the cadence and rhythm for delivery and the precise words and meticulous reasons for my words. This book lets you understand the importance of precise language in order to generate hope and expectancy from the very first moments to ensure that the patient returns. WORDS OF PRAISE Dr McCarthy a Scottish New Zealander, a seasoned medical hypnotist has written a very original and easy reading book about treating anxiety based on his extensive experience helping such patients. It’s filled with humour, humility and creativity with original new ways to design metaphors and hypnotic stories within the brief therapy tradition. I enjoyed reading it and found new and interesting applications for my everyday practice. A book for therapists worth reading and above all using. --Dr Gérard Fitoussi, Président-elect, European Society of Hypnosis, Président, Confédération Francophone d’Hypnose et de Thérapies Brèves Dr. Pat is an internationally renowned medical hypnotist. In this book he presents a formula for curing anxiety in five sessions. His approach is step by step and emphasizes the paramount importance of the first session It is full of stunning metaphors and powerful scripts. This book will change and enhance your practice for ever. Don’t just provide temporary anxiety relief--cure it. --Dr. Gayre Christie, President, Australian Society of Hypnosis A collection of metaphors and stories presented with humor and compassion, The McCarthy Methods are a basic, easy to use series of steps to ease overwhelming symptoms of anxiety. It is an accessible text for those interested in a conversational style of clinical hypnosis dotted with gems of wisdom. --Julie Linden, Past President of the International Society of Hypnosis (ISH), the American Society of Clinical Hypnosis (ASCH) and of the Greater Philadelphia Society of Hypnosis (GPSCH). I warmly recommend this book to all hypnotherapists. Dr. Pat McCarthy, an experienced hypnotherapist, proposes a new, creative and empathic approach intertwined with human warmth and humor. --Dr. Shaul Navon, Senior Medical Psychologist and Hypnotherapist, Private Clinic, Tel Aviv, Israel

Flight of the Rondone

High School Dropout VS Big Pharma: The Fight to Save My Son's Life

By: Patrick Girondi

#1 Wall Street Journal bestseller! Flight of the Rondone is a true rags to riches tale the New York Times stated is “meant for television.” The protagonist, a high school dropout, is nicknamed in Italian U Carneveil (Walking Circus) for his entertaining and eccentric nature. Patrick Girondi starts his career shining shoes, stealing car parts, and escaping life-threatening situations while outwitting the Chicago police. He claws up to being a famous success story on the Oprah Show. His fortunes quickly change when his eldest son, Santino, is diagnosed with a fatal blood disease. Girondi hunts for a cure in a drama that has boundless implications in the world of gene therapy. As Girondi writes, “I’d been strangled, shot at, skated more than twenty arrests, made it through 3 FBI witch-hunts and went from the docks to trading and big money. I would see my son cured. How hard could it be?” After decades of struggle, he delivered the world’s first commercial batch of vector with the potential to cure Sickle Cell Disease and Thalassemia. But again, the success of the cure—and the fate of his son—is imperiled, in a world of lab jackets, mysterious deaths, and cut-throat Wall Street banksters. This is a story of love, beating the odds, or as Girondi calls it, pure luck. It is a gritty and realistic tale told with little regard for empire or etiquette.

A Passion for Justice

How 'Vinegar Jim' McRuer Became Canada's Greatest Law Reformer

By: J. Patrick Boyer

This richly detailed biography illustrates how a determined Canadian seeking justice created an enduring legacy. Through vigorous battles, Jim McRuer’s passion for justice was translated into laws that daily touch and protect the lives of millions today. James Chalmers McRuer was not easy to get along with or even much liked by many lawyers who dubbed him ’Vinegar Jim.’ Yet countless others saw him as heroic, inspirational, a man above and apart from his times. His resolute focus on justice changed the lives of married women with no property rights, children without legal protection, aboriginals caught in the whipsaw of traditional hunting practices and imposed game laws, and prisoners locked away and forgotten. Environmental degradation and those causing it, murderers, stock fraud artists and Cold War spies all came within the ambit of J. C. McRuer’s sharp legal mind and passion for justice. Upon turning 75, McRuer embarked on his most important work of all, becoming Canada’s greatest law reformer and remaining active into his 90s.

Echo Cycle

By: Patrick Edwards

Gladiator meets 1984 in this near-future thriller featuring timeslips, ancient magic and a disturbingly plausible dystopian Britain... 68 CE Fleeing disaster, young Winston Monk wakes to find himself trapped in the past, imprisoned by the mad Emperor Nero. The Roman civilization he idolized is anything but civilized, and his escape from a barbaric home has led him somewhere far more dangerous. 2070 CE As the European Union crumbled, Britain closed its borders, believing they were stronger alone. After decades of hardship, British envoy Lindon Banks joins a diplomatic team to rebuild bridges with the hypermodern European Confederacy. But in Rome, Banks discovers his childhood friend who disappeared without a trace. Monk appears to have spent the last two decades living rough, but he tells a different story: a tale of Caesars, slavery and something altogether more sinister. Monk's mysterious emergence sparks the tinderbox of diplomatic relations between Britain and the Confederacy, controlled by shadowy players with links back to the ancient world itself...

Shepherd’s Warning, Shepherd’s Delight

By: Patrick McLuskie

Shepherd's Warning, Shepherd's Delight is a book of poetry describing Patrick McLuskie's walk from a lost place of belief in the abstract as God, where taking control of one's destiny is a matter of will and application, to a broken and then healed place before the personal God of Christianity. Turmoil became calm, calm became turmoil, backwards and forwards, as the understanding of self and the acceptance of grace, gently and gradually drew him to the feet of God. To the foot of the cross. The realization that the Bible is God's word brings both relief and challenge. It is no neutral document. It demands a choice. It is both our greatest obstacle and our highest desire as we delight in it and weep before it, clinging to the hope that is Jesus, our Shepherd.

Benjamin Jesty, the Grandfather of Vaccination

By: Patrick John Pead

Benjamin Jesty has been described as ‘the man history forgot’. Spanning the late 18th and early 19th centuries, this book tells the story of the ingenious Dorset farmer who used cowpox as a vaccine to protect his family against the dreaded disease of smallpox in 1774. This happened 22 years before Dr Edward Jenner used a similar process. The origins of vaccination have always been clouded in controversy. Probing previous accounts flawed by myth or subjectivity, this text sets the record straight. Man’s early attempts at stimulating immunity are rooted in folk wisdom of the distant past. Vaccination was not a ‘discovery’ or a ‘medical breakthrough’, but a development from variolation, substituting cowpox as an inoculum instead of smallpox. Analysing relevant primary sources with an innovative approach, this book reveals the geographical extent of awareness of Jesty’s endeavour in Georgian England, confirms his priority, and seeks to establish his Intellectual Property for the first use of an empirical vaccine. Jenner brought vaccination to the world. His achievement will always take precedence, but the findings of this new research suggest it is now time to honour Benjamin Jesty with the credit he deserves.

The Swimmer

The Wild Life of Roger Deakin

By: Patrick Barkham

BEST BOOK OF 2023 ACCORDING TO THE NEWSTATESMAN AND OBSERVER 'The Swimmer is a wonderful, original achievement; teeming with stories, glittering with images, and experimental in form and tone' Robert Macfarlane Roger Deakin, author of the immortal Waterlog, was a man of many parts: maverick ad-man, cider-maker, teacher, environmentalist, music promoter and filmmaker. But, above all, he was the restorer of ancient Walnut Tree Farm in Suffolk, the heartland where he wrote about all natural life – with rare attention, intimacy, precision and poetry. Roger Deakin was unique, and so too is this joyful work of creative biography, told primarily in the words of the subject himself, with support from a chorus of friends, family, colleagues and lovers. Delving deep into Deakin’s library of words, Patrick Barkham draws from notebooks, diaries, letters and recordings to conjure his voice back to glorious life in these pages. 'A rich, strange and compelling work of creative memoir that beautifully honours and elevates the life and work of its subject' Alex Preston, Observer
