The Fear Knot (Hardcover)
Language: English
Published by Globe Pequot Press, Old Saybrook, 2025
ISBN 10: 149308559X ISBN 13: 9781493085590
Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Why do we fear Halloween candy but not vending machines? Why do "witch hunts" recur so often in history? How dangerous are serial killers, really? The Fear Knot examines our most common deeply held fears, unpacking which are valid and which are misguided, explaining the history of how our irrational fears developed, and how we can unlearn them. We live in a world seemingly rife with danger, a villainous stranger or new deadly bacteria lurking around every corner. So how do we sort through these fears, determining which are well-founded and which have been manufactured? How can our biases and psychology allow these fears to overtake us, and how can we learn to think logically in a world driven by sensationalism? In this lively and timely tour, psychologist Natashia Swalve and journalism professor Ruth DeFoster lead readers through the history and psychology behind our most visible and sensational cultural fears, beginning with the most personal--fear within our bodies--and moving outward to the home, our country, and finally to our broadest society-level fears. From micro fears, like how our fear of vaccines has led to measles epidemics, to the broad existential dread associated with climate change and gun violence, The Fear Knot examines the toll our fears take on us, on an individual and societal level. Exploring how shared culture, media consumption, and even our own brain can help drive incorrect beliefs about risk, Swalve and DeFoster help readers to make informed, evidence-based decisions about fear and risk-- and along the way, to learn how to think critically, examine your own beliefs, and become confident consumers of media and popular culture. Combining psychology and journalism in short, light-hearted chapters, The Fear Knot gives readers a fresh look at Americans' perceptions of risk and danger, with an emphasis on how to recognize misinformation or biases, updated to include the most recent fears that Americans face in the 21st century-- and the real dangers that we may be ignoring. "In this lively and timely tour, neuroscientist Ruth DeFoster and mass communication professor Natashia Swalve lead readers through the history and psychology behind widespread cultural fears of innocuous things, beginning with the most personal fears within our own bodies and moving outward to the home, our country, and finally to culture at its largest level"-- Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
