Books about Attracted from Amazon.com

Perhaps Nabokov prefigured Attracted to Light in his fictional four-volume set called, "The Butterflies and Moths of the Russian Empire" in "Father's Butterflies": "The illustrations are still more perfect texture, the blurry translucence of various families of moths are rendered so delicately you would be afraid to run your finger across the paper...." A sumptuously oversized and exquisitely produced book, Attracted to Light showcases the Starns' extensive conceptual portrait series of the nocturnal moths' mysterious journey and the seeming gravitational force that light has over them, "captured" in photographs and filmic video footage. "Light necessitates darkness, the shadow created by anything physical. But black is not only the lack of light. The void and reservoir of what we want, what we need; light is power, it is knowledge. When we look into the deep, velvety black eyes of moths we see both emptiness and (the absorption of) light. No one understands why moths are attracted to light. It's neither to mate nor to eat: many moths don't eat at all; some don't even have mouths. Like butterflies, moths are almost as light as air, but they're the poor stupid cousins. Choosing to live their lives at night, flying from nowhere towards the end of their lives orbit a lamp, fly into a flame, or self-immolate like a Buddhist monk.".

In this wide-ranging historical exploration of transformational leadership, Popper examines why followers are influenced by leaders and what psychological dynamics exist between leaders and their subordinates, and, in the process, redefines the phenomenon of leadership. Exploring the emotional connections that bind charismatic leaders and those who support them, he contends that this multifaceted relationship is based on reciprocal need. by focusing on prominant figures throughout histor who have altered the lives of their followers in profound ways, Popper shows how these leaders reinvented and disseminated value systems, for good (e.g., Nelson Mandela) and for ill (e.g., Hitler). Whether the influence of a charismatic leader is destructive and negative or constructive and positively transformative, this intriguing work argues that the reciprocal process that takes place between leader and follower, as we as key formative events in the lives of leaders, are surprisingly similar. Using such famous and infamous leaders as Mahatma Gandhi, Nelson Madela, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Hitler, Charles Manson, and Jim Jones, Popper defines and explores three types of leader-follower relationships:

• Regressive relationships, which are characterized by mutual dependence;
• Symbolic relationships, which are rooted in symbolic meaning;
• Developmental-transformational relationships, which permit positive moral and emotional development.
