Is luck just fate, or can you change it? A groundbreaking new scientific study of the phenomenon of luck—and the ways we can bring good luck into our lives. What is luck? A psychic gift or a question of intelligence? And what is it that lucky people have that unlucky people lack? Psychologist Dr. Richard Wiseman put luck under a scientific microscope for the very first time, examining the different ways in which lucky and unlucky people think and behave. After three years of intensive interviews and experiments with over 400 volunteers, Wiseman arrived at an astonishing conclusion: Luck

Laboratory tests of extrasensory perception have been going on for over 50 years, attracting international interest within the scientific community. Some scientists believe that these studies are well-conducted, and that positive results obtained support the existence of ESP. In contrast, critics have argued that there are serious methodological errors in such experiemnts and that their results should be ignored. However, both sides agree that there are many ways in which errors may arise in ESP studies and that anyone involved in conducting or assessing such experiments should be aware of the

Experience anew the miracle of Christmas-and one special baby A young girl, a decidedly unplanned pregnancy, and one miraculous little baby-it’s an amazing story, one that sometimes gets buried under the tinsel of Christmas. That is, until something causes us to pause and reconsider the true magic of the holiday season. A Baby Changes Everything celebrates that baby in the manger in a fresh new way. Lyrics to Faith Hill’s song "A Baby Changes Everything" are joined by reflective stanzas on the wonder of God’s love and the Christmas season, how a baby can change our lives in

Clio is Muse of history, her cosmetics the adornments of rhetoric. Wiseman’s influential book, first published in 1979 and now for the first time in paperback, concerns the writing of history during the first century BCE, when Rome was rapidly becoming the centre of the Greek, as much as her own, literary world. Historians, trained in the schools of rhetoric, prized elegant plausibility above the empirical objectivity we expect of them today. Legend and history intermingled; history and poetry overlapped. The book divides into three distinct parts. The first treats the problems that aris

This book is the first attempt to read the poems of Gaius Valerius Catullus in his own context; to look at the poet and his works against the cultural realities of the first century BC as recent advances in historical research allow us to understand them. Catullus’ own social background, the circumstances of the literary life of his time, the true extent of his works and the variety of audiences he addressed - these and other questions are explored by Professor Wiseman with new and startling results. Contemporary high society and politics are illustrated through Clodia and Caelius Rufus,
