Set in detailed and fantastic worlds, high fantasy is a genre that captures the imagination and whisks readers to realms beyond their own. This genre usually features a protagonist who has to battle the forces conspiring against them and is usually centered by the theme of good versus evil. This makes it quite different from low fantasy or sword & sorcery fantasy. These stories also usually have the main character fighting against overwhelming odds that they have to overcome to succeed. This feature, coupled with imaginative world-building, makes these books great page-turners that the reader won't be able to put...

Even though feminism in the broadest sense possible encompasses several different ideologies, social movements, and political movements, it's all based on its most important principle: the advocacy of women's rights predicated on the reasoning that the sexes are equal. It also supports the principle that men and women should be equal not only in rights but also in opportunities. We know that exploring feminism can seem like a daunting task with so many different facets of the movement to sort through, as well as a whole lot of misinformation out there, so we've decided to present to our readers...

Because there's such an interest in this subject, we thought that we'd find out which of the books out there are the best serial killer books available. And let us...

Baseball is a sport that goes back to at least the 18th century and seems to have been a variation on English games that were played around the Revolutionary War: cricket and rounders. After the war ended, the game has spread from schools and college campuses all over the young United States, and eventually into the industrializing cities of the 19th century. The game would go on to not only become the national pastime of the U.S. but to be enjoyed by people all over the world. Unfortunately, we can't adequately capture the joy and magic associated with this...

Although day trading is often featured a lot in the media nowadays, not everyone knows just what exactly this practice is. Fortunately, we can answer that question quite easily. Day trading is a trading strategy in which accounts are opened and closed within the same day. While most stock buying involves the trader committing to particular stocks for a long period, day traders tend to profit from the small fluctuations in stock price during a day of trading.
