"Jovan Byford's account as to why conspiracy theories are persistent, proliferating and popular offers a welcome, pertinent and well-constructed survey. [It is a] clear, accessible, illustrated, indexed and erudite text…" - Equinox: Journal for Research into Freemasonry and Fraternalism , Vol 3, No 1 (2012), (http://www.equinoxpub.com/journals/index.php/JRFF/article/view/15294/pdf) "In this book, Jovan Byford has managed to pull off a neat little trick. He has produced a book that not only provides an excellent introduction to the psychology of belief in conspiracy theories for the beginner but also provides food for thought for those already working in the area." - Chris French, Goldsmiths, UK "In this book Jovan Byford provides a clear, concise and compelling guide to conspiracy theories. He explains where they come from, why people believe in them, and what the political consequences are. Given the vast increase in talk of conspiracy in the age of the internet, there is a real need for an accessible yet critical introduction to the topic, and this book provides it."

Synopsis
Through a series of specific questions that cut to the core of conspiracism as a global social and cultural phenomenon this book, now in paperback, deconstructs the logic and rhetoric of conspiracy theories and analyses the broader social and psychological factors that contribute to their persistence in modern society., "In this book Jovan Byford provides a clear, concise and compelling guide to conspiracy theories.

Through a series of specific questions that cut to the core of conspiracism as a global social and cultural phenomenon, the book deconstructs the logic and rhetoric of conspiracy theories and analyses the broader social and psychological factors that contribute to their persistence in modern society.'_¢ What are the defining characteristics of conspiracy theories and how do they differ from legitimate inquiries into actual conspiracies?'_¢ How long have conspiracy theories been around and to what extent are contemporary versions similar to those of yesteryear?'_¢ Why do conspiracy theories all sound alike and what ensures their persistence in modern society?'_¢ What psychological benefits do conspiracy theories bring to those who subscribe to them? '_¢ Why are conspiracy theories so often mobilized by political forces whose agenda is antithetical to democratic politics?, Through a series of specific questions that cut to the core of conspiracism as a global social and cultural phenomenon this book deconstructs the logic and rhetoric of conspiracy theories and analyses the broader social and psychological factors that contribute to their persistence in modern society.

- e***u (283)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzter MonatBestätigter KaufThe listing was for a hardcover version of this book; however, I received a paperback. The Seller replied quickly to my question about this issue and issued a full refund - and let me keep the book. So, a diligent Seller for sure - and well packaged and reasonable timing on shipping. Thank you for the refund, and as you suggested, I'll likely donate this volume and seek the hardcover.
- e***n (392)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzte 6 MonateBestätigter KaufGreat transaction, exactly as described, packed well, and promptly shipped on August 6th. Unfortunately the U.S. Postal Service took 23 calendar days to deliver the book. It was shipped from Pennsylvania, to Atlanta, past Alabama to Texas, enjoyed several days in Texas, then to Minneapolis, Jacksonville, Florida, back to Atlanta, finally to Birmingham, and Huntsville. The seller was very responsive and I decided it was interesting to see if/how the book would arrive. Thanks, Joe
