Coulrophobia<\/strong>, dentophobia, acrophobia, necrophobia.
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

Remember those pop-up books from your childhood?\u00a0 This one is infinitely more terrifying if you have a fear of clowns, dentists, heights, or even a fear of death.\u00a0 This clever book, The pop-up book of phobias<\/em>, was created and written by Gary Greenberg who uses pop-ups to bring the reader into the mind of someone who faces these phobias.\u00a0 Each page contains a specific phobia with a brief definition and accompanying pop-up, as if the reader were experiencing the\u00a0<\/em>fear themselves.\u00a0 Watch the pop-ups in action<\/a>!<\/p>\n

Phobias are a type of anxiety disorder.\u00a0 When one is faced with their particular fear they may experience panic, a rapid hearbeat, shortness of breath, trembling, and an acute desire to get away.\u00a0 It is possible to develop a phobia of almost anything.\u00a0 Have you ever heard of Alektorophoiba?\u00a0 It is a fear of chickens.\u00a0 Or Omphalophobia?\u00a0 It is a fear of belly buttons.\u00a0 Pupaphobia?\u00a0 It’s a fear of puppets.\u00a0 Some speculate that certain phobias can be explained through evolution.\u00a0 For instance a fear of spiders or snakes could be a result of a time when man faced these very real mortal dangers out in the wild, and those that were cautious lived longer.\u00a0 Or agoraphobia, fear of wide open spaces, may be the evolutionary result of the danger of being exposed in open spaces and those that avoided them lived to see another day.<\/p>\n

To explore more about these phobias look at The pop-up book of phobias \/ created + written by Gary Greenberg ; illustrated by Balvis Rubess ; pop-ups by Matthew Reinhart ; produced by Melcher Media. RC535 .G74 1999.<\/a><\/p>\n
