Paperback. Zustand: Good. While we live in a technologically and scientifically advanced age, superstition is as widespread as ever. Not limited to just athletes and actors, superstitious beliefs are common among people of all occupations, educational backgrounds, and income levels. In this fully updated edition of Believing in Magic, renowned superstition expert Stuart Vyse investigates our tendency towards these irrational beliefs. Superstitions, he writes, are the natural result of several psychological processes, including our human sensitivity to coincidence, a penchant for developing rituals to fill time (to battle nerves, impatience, or both), our efforts to cope with uncertainty, the need for control, and more. In a new Introduction, Vyse discusses important developments and the latest research on jinxes, paranormal beliefs, and luck. He also distinguishes superstition from paranormal and religious beliefs and identifies the potential benefits of superstition for believers. He examines the research to demonstrate how we can better understand complex human behavior. Although superstition is a normal part of our culture, Vyse argues that we must provide alternative methods of coping with life's uncertainties by teaching decision analysis, promoting science education, and challenging ourselves to critically evaluate the sources of our beliefs.…

Tapa dura. Zustand: New. ¿Por qué hay gente que toca madera después de expresar un deseo o se siente incómodo ante determinados números (generalmente el trece) o palabras? ¿O por qué se sienten más tranquilos si se saben acompañados de determinada piedra u objeto, o visten una prenda de un color? El mundo actual se rige por la ciencia, pero pese a ello las creencias supersticiosas, tanto antiguas como nuevas, siguen estando presentes en él. ¿De dónde proceden estas creencias y por qué persisten aún hoy? En este libro Stuart Vyse, uno de los más prestigiosos especialistas en este tema, aborda su naturaleza y traza una breve historia del mismo desde la Antigüedad a nuestros días. Desde los gatos negros a las monedas de la suerte, el autor examina tanto las supersticiones profanas como las religiosas y también las razones psicológicas que subyacen a su permanente existencia.…
