Illustrated with 2-color illustrations throughout that both teach and entertain, the book is organized into five chapters that guide readers through our history with apocalypses, how we're evolved to survive them by cooperating with each other, and how tothrive amidst our multi-apocalyptic reality"--

Stop mass hysteria [large print] : America's insanity from the Salem witch trials to the Trump witch hunt / by Savage, Michael,1942-author.(CARDINAL)349920;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 445-469).Since Donald Trump's historic ascendance to the presidency, American politics have reached a boiling point. Social and economic issues, even national security, have become loud, violent flashpoints for political rivals in the government, in the media and on the streets. This collective derangement has a name: mass hysteria. In his new book, Stop Mass Hysteria, #1 New York Times bestselling author Michael Savage not only deconstructs the Left's unhinged response to traditional American values like borders, language, and culture, but takes the reader on an unprecedented journey through mass hysteria's long history in the United States. From Christopher Columbus to the Salem Witch trials to the so-called "Red Scares" of the 1930s and 40s and much more, Dr. Savage recounts the many times collective insanity has gripped the American public - often prompted by sinister politicians with ulterior motives. Dr. Savage provides vital context for the common elements of dozens of outbreaks of mass hysteria in the past, their causes, their short and long-term effects, and the tactics of the puppet masters who duped gullible masses into fearing threats both real and imagined. By shining a light on the true nature and causes of American mass hysteria in the past, Savage provides an insightful look into who and what is causing dangerous unrest in our lives - and why.We've reached a new mass hysteria inflection point -- The history and mechanics of mass hysteria -- Mass hysteria: anarchy's secret weapon -- From Plymouth Rock to City Hall: the seeds and blossoms of mass hysteria -- From Salem to CNN: how hysteria taught us to anesthetize ourselves -- From assassins to generals: mass amnesia and lunacy of marijuana advocacy -- From war to peace: the enemy without becomes the enemy within -- From peace to war: hysteria creates seismic shifts in America -- From regional war to prohibition: hysteria outside the trenches -- From Reds to Fascists: global threats produce greater hysteria -- From Commies to comics: congressional witch hunts destroy lives and careers -- From Catholics to flower power: when everyone had a pulpit -- From gas lines to Reagan: not all hysteria is manufactured -- From consumables to climate change: the nation creates new venues for hysteria -- From treason to tomorrow: mass hysteria on overdrive.Social and economic issues, even national security, have become loud, violent flashpoints for political rivals in the government, in the media and on the streets. Savage not only deconstructs the Left's unhinged response to traditional American values, but takes the reader on an unprecedented journey through mass hysteria's long history in the United States. He recounts the many times collective insanity has gripped the American public, and shows how it was often prompted by sinister politicians with ulterior motives. -- adapted from jacket

Devil's contract : the history of the Faustian bargain / by Simon, Ed(Writer),author.;
Includes bibliographical references."From ancient times to the modern world, the idea of the Faustian bargain--the exchange of one's soul in return for untold riches and power--has exerted a magnetic pull upon our collective imaginations. Scholar Ed Simon takes us on a historical tour of the Faustian bargain, from the Bible to blues, and illustrates how the impulse to sacrifice our principles in exchange for power is present in all kinds of social ills, from colonialism to nuclear warfare, from social media to climate change to AI, and beyond. In doing so, Simon conveys just how much the Faustian bargain shows us about power and evil ... and ourselves."--
