Uncertainty is interwoven into human existence. It is a powerful incentive in the search for knowledge and an inherent component of scientific research. We have developed many ways of coping with uncertainty. We make promises, manage risks and make predictions to try to clear the mists and predict ahead. But the future is inherently uncertain - and the mist that shrouds our path an inherent part of our journey. The burning question is whether our societies can face up to uncertainty, learn to embrace it and whether we can open up to a constantly evolving future. In this new book, Helga Nowotny shows how research can thrive at the cusp of uncertainty. Science, she argues, can eventually transform uncertainty into certainty, but into certainty which remains always provisional. Uncertainty is never completely static. It is constantly evolving. It encompasses geological time scales and, at the level of human experience, split-second changes as cells divide. Life and death decisions are taken in the blink of the eye, while human interactions with the natural environment may reveal their impact over millennia. Uncertainty is cunning. It appears at unexpected moments, it shuns the straight line, takes the oblique route and sometimes the unexpected short-cut. As we acknowledge the cunning of uncertainty, its threats retreat. We accept that any scientific inquiry must produce results that are provisional and uncertain. This message is vital for politicians and policy-makers: do not be tempted by small, short-term, controllable gains to the exclusion of uncertain, high-gain opportunities. Wide-ranging in its use of examples and enriched by the author’s experience as President of the European Research Council, one of the world’s leading funding organisations for fundamental research. The Cunning of Uncertainty is a must-read for students and scholars of all disciplines, politicians, policy-makers and anyone concerned with the fundamental role of knowledge and science in our societies today.

A practical manual of Traditional non-Wiccan Witchcraft. While there are a lot of texts that cover advanced and academic subjects of interest to traditional Crafters, all of the introductory books tend to focus on Wicca... until now. In this Book Peter Paddon - Magister of Briar Rose and host of the popular Crooked Path podcast - covers his particular path of Witchcraft from scratch. He goes over the basics of his personal Path, along with examples of alternatives from other traditions, covering philosophy, lore and practical techniques. The Crooked Path is a way of Crafting based on experiencing the Mysteries of Ancestors and the Sacred Landscape first-hand, and Peter guides the seeker through the basics with competence and humor.

Witchcraft and magic in America is an inherently multicultural experience and the folklore of our ancestors from every country converges here at a crossroads. It’s a complicated history; one of uncertainty and fear, displacement and enslavement, merging and migration. Our ancestors may not have agreed on how they saw the world or the magic that inhabits the world, but they shared a very real fear of Witches. Hags, Devils, charms and spells; witchery is rooted in our deepest superstitions and folklore. The traditions of people and their cultures stretch and intersect across the country and this is where the unique traditions of American witchcraft and magic are born. As practitioners seek to revive and reconstruct the paths of our ancestors, we’ve begun to trace the interconnected roots of witchcraft folklore as it emerged in the Americas, from the blending of people and their faiths. For multiracial practitioners, this is part of our identity as Americans and as witches of this country. Folkloric American Witchcraft and the Multicultural Experience is an exploration of the folklore, magic and witchcraft that was forged in the New World.

I'm walking into the middle of a story that's thousands of years old, and I'm the new girl on the block who doesn't have a clue how this world even works. My only guides happen to be the most lethal of the bunch.They decide who lives or dies. They decide who gets stabbed or tortured.Yeah...I've gone and drawn attention to myself, and the ones paying attention are the ones everyone else seems to fear.How do these things always happen to me?**Reverse Harem**Language warning**Sexual content**Dark Humor

Eula Mae Dunning was our family matriarch, bootlegger, and speakeasy madame in one of the most notorious and violent establishments in Nortonville, Kentucky during the late 1940s. To put it simply, Eula was captivating. She had a way of drawing people in like moths to a flame. That does not mean she had a charmed life or that it was always easy for her. In fact, I think it was just the opposite. Eula's charisma was forged from the hardships of her life. Her "Moxie" that drew people to her was her greatest shield against the things that hurt her most. It's what kept her humor up when life had dragged her so far down that most people wouldn't know how to tie their own shoes. One hundred and twenty eight years after her birth, people are still talking about her. Her stories are still being told and passed down from generation to generation. It's almost as if Eula worked her roots and weaved her own form of magic and immortality in our family's stories about her. When I first learned of the Nortonville speakeasy, I had romantic images of Eula serving up her homemade hooch, keeping the gamblers in line, raising her children and staying one step ahead of the law. But the truth was not so romantic. I had to ask myself, what did I really know about Eula to start with? I knew she lived through the women's suffrage movement, prohibition, two world wars and the Great Depression. Neither of her two marriages were ideal or even very happy ones. Both of Eula's husbands had long criminal histories with alleged ties to Chicago's dark seedy underbelly. Both marriages were abusive in one way or another. I knew there was much more to Eula's story and much more to the woman herself than what was seen on the surface. I began to wonder what story Eula would now tell if she were able to tell her own story without being penalized by the people and prejudices of her time. What story would she tell if she had no repercussions to fear from either of her two husbands? The more I dug into the Eula's history and the Nortonville murder I realized I had more questions than I started with. What would make a good woman who loved her children and grandchildren so deeply remain silent and complacent when there was not just one, but two sexual predators in their midst? What did Eula's marriages and choices reveal about the women and circumstances who forged her? And perhaps even just as important, what does it reveal about the woman I am and the woman my daughter will become?
