Even as his power should have been waning–when he was in jail awaiting trial for multiple charges, including rape–he was able to manipulate and control Rachel and the members of her family.Īs Rachel grew up, eventually becoming a mother to five children, she began to realize that the practices of the FLDS made her children unsafe. He dictated what she and the other members of the FLDS could wear, what they could read, what they could eat: he controlled them in every way. Based on the principles of their faith, he determined who she would marry–a man she didn’t know, when she was just eighteen–and he named all of her children. He doted on her publicly and abused her privately, often making her feel responsible for the abuse. As a child, Jeffs was her father’s obsession. There were years of mental and emotional abuse as well, abuse that took Jeffs years to understand and, finally, to escape. The abuse Rachel Jeffs suffered at the hands of her father, Warren, the self-proclaimed prophet of the Fundamentalist Latter Day Saints (FLDS), wasn’t solely sexual. In Breaking Free, Jeffs honestly and directly recounts her story, from a sheltered but sometimes happy childhood with her parents and siblings to the horrors of living in squalor as her father ran from the law. A little girl should never have to fear her father or feel that God has commanded she be abused, but that is exactly what happened to Rachel Jeffs.

Joe Hill’s The Heart-Shaped Box (2007) being a horror novel, the ghost turns out to be real. Jude’s extensive collection of “the grotesque and the bizarre,” much of it sent by his fans, ranges from the confession of a burned witch and a cookbook for cannibals to Aleister Crowley’s childhood chessboard and a “diseased” snuff film, but lacks a ghost, so he can’t resist buying one-without really believing in it.

Fifty-four-year-old dark rock star Judas “Jude” Coyne (real name Justin Cowzynski) hasn’t toured in three years and is on his umpteenth young Goth girlfriend he nicknames after their home states (the current one being a 23-year-old he calls Georgia) when he buys a ghost from a private online auction.

The second book of “The Shinning series” by Stephen King takes the protagonist to the next level as he battles to save the life of a twelve-year-old from the deadly fangs of a tribe that possesses powers beyond imaginations. As a result, the Forest Service adopted a policy of absolute fire suppression, which included putting a stop to the ‘light-burning’ of brush and forest floor detritus. Many people were killed, small towns were burned to the ground, and billions of feet of profitable timber went up in smoke. More than three million acres were destroyed as conflagrations raged across Idaho, Montana, Washington and Oregon in what became known as the Big Blowup or Big Burn. In August 1910, forest fires tore through the American North-West. Leopold worked for the United States Forest Service between 19, so he knew what he was talking about when he described the lumber trade of the early 20th century as ‘land-pillage’. For Leopold, conservation was about creating a respectful and productive system of co-operation, and he was a vocal critic of irresponsible exploitation, especially of the destruction caused by logging companies. People needed to ‘quit thinking about decent land-use as solely an economic problem’ he wanted to transform our vision of humankind’s place in the natural world from ‘conqueror of the land-community to plain member and citizen of it’. ‘A s a land-user thinketh, so is he,’ the American conservationist Aldo Leopold wrote in his essay ‘The Land Ethic’ in 1948. If predators were introduced to a pond of goldfish, they’d eat up the population until there weren’t enough left for them to survive on. A pendulum would swing back and forth in regular patterns. He believed that if you remove all outside influences, a system would settle into its natural state. These basic laws made him believe that everything happens for a reason and as a result, events are predictable in nature. For example, Newton stated that if an object is moving it will continue to move unless something stops it and that every action has an equal and opposite reaction. The book described the basic principles of classical mechanics, which govern the activity of physical objects. Sir Isaac Newton wrote a book called the Principia Mathematica in 1687. However, the concept of causality has been challenged by a new force that scientists have had to consider. This assumption formed the bedrock for an age of enlightenment that changed how humans understand themselves and their world. Humans can observe events and make sense of them because they possess the ability to discern cause and effect relationships in nature. For centuries, scientists have assumed that the natural world is governed by basic principles of causality.
