With unprecedented access to former  Aum members, Lifton has produced a path-breaking study of the inner life of a millennial cult.  He shows how Aum's guru created a religion from a global stew of new age thinking, ancient rituals, and science fiction, then recruited scientists to produce weapons of mass destruction.

It also advises on more mundane matters - such as male pregnancy and the joys of a detachable penis. At once entertaining and wise, Dr. Tatiana (a.k.a. Olivia Judson) fuses natural history with advice to the lovelorn, blends wit and rigor, and reassures her anxious correspondents that although the acts they describe might sound appalling and unnatural, they are all perfectly normal - so long as you are not a human. In the process, she explains the science behind it all, from Darwin's theory of sexual selection to why sexual reproduction exists at all. By applying human standards to the natural world, in the end she reveals the wonders of both.","brand":"Owl Publishing Company","offers":[{"title":"Bargain","offer_id":42823068024912,"sku":"9780805063325B","price":11.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0592\/8173\/5760\/files\/9780805063325-l.jpg?v=1785890729"},{"product_id":"crafty-screenwriting-9780805069921b","title":"Crafty Screenwriting","description":"Crafty Screenwriting is the first book not only to offer a successful screenwriter's tricks of the trade, but to explain what development executives really mean when they complain that the \"dialogue is flat,\" or \"the hero isn't likeable.\" Fresh, provocative, and funny, Alex Epstein diagnoses problems that other screenwriting books barely address, and answers questions they rarely ask, like \"Why is it sometimes dangerous to know your characters too well before you start writing,\" or \"Why does your script have to be so much better than the awful pictures that get made every day?\" As a development executive who has accepted and rejected countless screenplays, and a produced screenwriter himself, Epstein can take you into the heart of the most important question of all: \"Is this a movie?\" A crucial book for anyone who has ever wondered what it takes to get their movie made.","brand":"Owl Publishing Company","offers":[{"title":"Bargain","offer_id":42823345143888,"sku":"9780805069921B","price":11.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0592\/8173\/5760\/files\/9780805069921-l.jpg?v=1785891896"},{"product_id":"there-was-an-old-lady-who-swallowed-a-trout-9780805069006b","title":"There Was An Old Lady Who Swallowed A Trout","description":"A bright, energetic retelling of a beloved children's rhyme, with a Pacific Northwest twist.

Drawing on a wealth of history and anthropology, Barbara Ehrenreich uncovers the origins of communal celebration in human biology and culture.  From the earliest orgiastic Near Eastern rites to the medieval practice of Christianity as a \"danced religion\" and the transgressive freedoms of carnival, she demonstrates that mass festivities have long been central to the Western tradition.  In recent centuries, this tradition has been repressed, cruelly and often bloodily.  But as Ehrenreich argues in this original, exhilarating, and ultimately optimistic book, the celebratory impulse is too deeply ingrained in human nature ever to be completely extinguished.","brand":"Owl Publishing Company","offers":[{"title":"Bargain","offer_id":42825983885392,"sku":"9780805057249B","price":13.49,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0592\/8173\/5760\/files\/9780805057249-l.jpg?v=1785903528"},{"product_id":"in-the-shadows-of-war-9780805057539b","title":"In the Shadows of War","description":"In a small village in France during the fateful summer of 1944, three disparate lives converged in an unlikely secret alliance. Just after D-Day, Colette Florin hid downed American bomber pilot Roy Allen in her rooms above the tiny girls' school where she taught. While concealing him, she was drawn deeper into the clandestine world of the regional underground. There she met the local leader of the Resistance: Pierre Mulsant, a young Frenchman trained by the British secret service who had parachuted into France in the spring of 1944. Drawn from extensive interviews, letters, and archival documents in Britain, France, Germany, and the United States, In the Shadows of War follows the fateful twists and turns of Allen's journey from rural France to Paris, capture by the Gestapo, imprisonment in a Nazi concentration camp and then a POW camp, and eventual liberation. It is an unforgettable, profoundly moving human drama of love and courage and sacrifice.","brand":"Owl Publishing Company","offers":[{"title":"Bargain","offer_id":42826009673808,"sku":"9780805057539B","price":11.49,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0592\/8173\/5760\/files\/9780805057539-l.jpg?v=1785903663"},{"product_id":"the-poetry-of-robert-frost-9780805069860b","title":"The Poetry of Robert Frost","description":"No poet is more emblematically American than Robert Frost.

Waste and Want examines an essential but neglected part of that culture - the trash it produces - and finds in it an unexpected wealth of meaning.  Before the twentieth century, trash was nearly nonexistent.  Strasser paints a vivid picture of an America where everything possible was reused: scavenger pigs roamed the streets, \"swill children\" collected kitchen garbage, and peddlers traded manufactured goods for rags and bones.  Over the last hundred years, however, Americans have become hooked on disposability, fashion, and constant technological change, and the rise of mass consumption has led to waste on a previously unimaginable scale.  Lively and colorful, Waste and Want recaptures a hidden part of our social history, vividly illustrating that what we throw away defines us as much as what we keep.","brand":"Owl Publishing Company","offers":[{"title":"Bargain","offer_id":42826475831376,"sku":"9780805065121B","price":10.49,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0592\/8173\/5760\/files\/9780805065121-l.jpg?v=1785906004"},{"product_id":"the-new-turing-omnibus-9780805071665b","title":"The New Turing Omnibus","description":"Updated and expanded, The New Turing Omnibus offers 66 concise, brilliantly written articles on the major points of interest in computer science theory, technology, and applications.

More than fifty years later, this classic wartime memoir is just as gripping as it was then. Desperate to see action but rejected by both the marines and paratroopers because he was too short, Murphy eventually found a home with the infantry. He fought through campaigns in Sicily, Italy, France, and Germany. Although still under twenty-one years old on V-E Day, he was credited with having killed, captured, or wounded 240 Germans. He emerged from the war as America's most decorated soldier, having received twenty-one medals, including our highest military decoration, the Congressional Medal of Honor. To Hell and Back is a powerfully real portrayal of American GI's at war.","brand":"Owl Publishing Company","offers":[{"title":"Bargain","offer_id":42826967941200,"sku":"9780805070866B","price":11.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0592\/8173\/5760\/files\/9780805070866-l.jpg?v=1785908268"},{"product_id":"the-tristan-chord-wagner-and-philosophy","title":"The Tristan Chord: Wagner and Philosophy","description":"Richard Wagner's devotees have ranged from the subtlest minds (Proust) to the most brutal (Hitler).  The enduring fascination of his works arises not only from his singular fusion of musical innovation and theatrical daring, but also from his largely overlooked engagement with the boldest investigations of modern philosophy.  Now, in this radically clarifying book, Bryan Magee traces Wagner's intellectual quests, from his youthful embrace of revolutionary socialism to the near-Buddhist resignation of his final years.  Magee shows how abstract thought can permeate music and stimulate creations of great power and beauty.  And he unflinchingly confronts the Wagner whose paranoia, egocentricity, and anti-Semitism are as repugnant as his achievements are glorious.","brand":"Owl Publishing Company","offers":[{"title":"Bargain","offer_id":42888236007504,"sku":"9780805071894B","price":9.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0592\/8173\/5760\/files\/9780805071894-l.jpg?v=1788278291"},{"product_id":"hungry-ghosts-maos-secret-famine","title":"Hungry Ghosts: Mao's Secret Famine","description":"Jasper Becker, an accomplished journalist working in Asia, details the horrible experience of Mao's famine in his gripping study Hungry Ghosts: Mao's Secret Famine.
