The Right to Do Wrong
Common morality—in the form of shame, outrage, and stigma—has always been society’s first line of defense against ethical transgressions. Social mores crucially complement the law, Mark Osiel shows, sparing us from oppressive formal regulation. Much of what we could do, we shouldn’t—and we don’t. We have a free-speech right to be offensive, but we know we will face outrage in response. We may declare bankruptcy, but not without stigma. Moral norms constantly demand more of us than the law requires, sustaining promises we can legally break and preventing disrespectful behavior the law allows. Mark Osiel takes up this curious interplay between lenient law and restrictive morality, ...
Paranthropology: Anthropological Approaches to the Paranormal
We are living in a complicated period in relation to our understanding of 'extraordinary' phenomena. Naive materialist approaches are more assertive than ever, in anthropology and in the world more generally. At the same time, the taboos against admitting to the reality of the paranormal are weakening. There is a growing body of writing which takes the paranormal and extraordinary seriously, while bringing to it the same academic standards that any other subject matter would require. This is a valuable and important development, and it helps open the way to new modes of understanding in the sciences and social sciences that will not reject scientific rationality, but expand that rationality so as to include more of the world of human experience. The articles in this Paranthropology reader provide important clues and suggestions, along with rigorous argument, to help us in exploring what is likely to be a major area of anthropological engagement in coming years.

Destined to be Brothers
It is 1948 and two boys are born from different parents, at the exact same moment, in the exact same place. From that time, there is a psychic connection that exists between the two. From birth to death, the two enjoy a bond, as close as any real brothers. At an early age, they share a life changing event, resulting in a promise made between best friends having to be fulfilled. Through life’s hills and valleys, love, birth and death, Ben and Simon face it all together, proving that sometimes the family you find is the family you really need. Destined to be Brothers is a story to make you cry, to make you laugh, and to keep you involved until the emotional ending. It contains a mixture of, true friendship, loyalty, sadness, kindness, unexpected events and touches of humour. It is often uncomplicated but certainly has its share of unexpected events too.
