Ann Rule
A Rose for Her Grave and Other True Stories

2007 y.
Publisher: Sphere
Description: The first volume of Ann Rule`s bestselling Crime Files anthologies. `A Rose for Her Grave` - the principal story in this collection - vividly recreates the cautionary tale of Randy Roth, a misogynistic sociopath from the Pacific North-West whose rage was directed primarily at women and children. Addicted to his own greed, Roth exercised a powerful aura of control over his victims, using his ability to charm and boyish good looks to lower their defences. By the time they saw the reality of the madness in his eyes, it was usually too late. This, along with five other chilling cases, bears the stamp of classic Ann Rule - informed, comprehensive, and eerily evocative of the inhumanity mankind is capable of. Формат: 11 см х 17,5 см.

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book Description?Here was a siren who had depth, strength, dignity, and humour who could inspire great trust, suggest deep intellect and whose misty languorous eyes melted your heart away!? remarked co-star Christopher Plummer. In the darkest days of World War II, Greer Garson was Hollywood?s most inspiring icon of strength and courage. Her work in Mrs. Miniver was rewarded with an Academy Award in 1941. Garson earned a total of seven Academy Award nominations for Best Actress. Fourteen of her films premiered at Radio City Music Hall, playing for a total of eighty-four weeks?a record never equaled by any other actress. She worked with such legendary performers as Clark Gable, Marlon Brando, Elizabeth Taylor, Errol Flynn, Joan Crawford, Robert Mitchum, Debbie Reynolds, and Walter Pidgeon. Garson?s memories of them, and their comments about her, provide an incomparable view of Hollywood at its most influential and creative peak. Michael Troyan… [detailed...]

A Rosicrucian Soul

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: `In the course of every human life, moments come?--?often so quietly as to be almost unrecognized?--?that are so subtle and unobtrusive, they pass without one being fully aware of them. These moments are like the gentle tones of birds singing in their sleep, the faint sound of a bell ringing far away, or the gentle touch of an invisible hand. `Nevertheless, all these moments, perceived or unperceived, are manifestations of destiny in each human life, `the evidence of things not seen.` They express the secret language of the heart and invite one to begin a journey. They involve taking important steps on a life path, which one senses instinctively will ultimately lead to the light of one`s own higher self and into the world of spiritual reality, the `land` where the real foundations of life purposes are to be found. Thus, one sets out on a path that can lead to the unfolding of the unique mystery of each individual life story. Such is the substance of the journey described in these… [detailed...]

Yet, Pre`s legacy always inspired him. John earned a running scholarship to Stradford University, one of the elite Division I cross country schools. There, he would be teammates with the runner every major sports media called `the next Pre.` More importantly, it gave John the chance to put behind a troubled past and start a new life.

Ciaran O`Driscoll
A Runner Among Falling Leaves : A Story of Childhood

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book Description A photograph of poet Ciaran O`Driscoll taken when he was eight or nine by his father shows a radiantly smiling child, seemingly at home with his family and the world. But that photo is an anomaly, the boy`s face was far more often darkened by a pensive, distant frown. The sources of O`Driscoll`s adolescent melancholy--and its lingering traces in his adult life--are the subject of his evocative memoir, A Runner Among Falling Leaves . Born in Kilkenny, Ireland in 1943, Ciaran O`Driscoll grew up in a home shadowed by the bullying and abuse of his father. The violence O`Driscoll suffered at the hands of his father in his home was traumatic, but in many respects it paled in comparison to the public humiliation his father meted out to the boy at school, where he served as O`Driscoll`s teacher. The dual role his father played left the child no place of refuge, no escape from the constant mental cruelty and physical pain, and the scars of that upbringing… [detailed...]

Nader Baydoun, Stephanie Good
A Rush to Injustice: How Power, Prejudice, Racism, and Political Correctness Overshadowed Truth and Justice in the Duke Lacrosse Rape Case

2007 y.
Publisher: Thomas Nelson
Description: A rowdy party, booze, boys, and a stripper-and after a wild night of living it up, charges of assault and rape were leveled at certain members of the Duke lacrosse team. When the district attorney brought charges, it seemed like an easy verdict. Few suspected then that this national blockbuster of a news story was all based on lies. Seasoned trial attorney Nader Baydoun deconstructs the case and reveals the egregious misconduct that led to a rush to judgment and a gross injustice. By presenting the evidence with a trained eye for detail, Baydoun exposes the political pandering of the district attorney, his neglect of crucial evidence, the way in which he stacked the case against the innocent suspects, and how he tenaciously believed unreliable victim testimony-all to ensure his reelection. Baydoun also takes the university leadership to task for its failure to support the students in the case. In this gripping tale of injustice, Baydoun sets the record straight and points… [detailed...]

Elsewhere she meets traumatised and dangerous veterans of the Chechen wars and a notorious Chechen warlord in his heavily fortified lair.

Description: On October 26, 2004, Dominique Green, thirty, was executed by lethal injection in Huntsville, Texas. Arrested at the age of eighteen in the fatal shooting of a man during a robbery outside a Houston convenience store, Green may have taken part in the robbery but always insisted that he did not pull the trigger. The jury, which had no African Americans on it, sentenced him to death. Despite obvious errors in the legal procedures and the protests of the victim’s family, he spent the last twelve years of his life on Death Row. When Cahill found himself in Texas in December 2003, he visited Dominique at the request of Judge Sheila Murphy, who was working on the appeal of the case. In Dominique, he encountered a level of goodness, peace, and enlightenment that few human beings ever attain. Cahill joined the fierce fight for Dominique’s life, even enlisting Dominique’s hero, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, to make an historic visit to Dominique and to plead publicly for mercy. Cahill was so… [detailed...]

Caustically funny, eerily accurate in its depiction of junkies, scam artists, and the walking brain-dead, Philip K. Dick`s industrial-grade stress test of identity is as unnerving as it is enthralling. [detailed...]
