  The speech "The Strenuous Life" by Theodore Roosevelt, is one of his most famous and enduring speeches. Delivered in Chicago on April 10, 1899, to the Hamilton Club, it served as a call to action for Americans to embrace hard work, duty, and perseverance as the foundation of a prosperous and strong nation. Roosevelt argued against a life of ease and inactivity, believing that such a life led to individual and national decay. Instead, he championed the virtues of hard work, physical strength, and moral integrity as essential to both personal fulfillment and the success of the country.Roosevelt's speech is imbued with the spirit of American exceptionalism and manifest destiny, urging Americans to take up the "strenuous life" of active engagement in domestic and foreign affairs. He saw the challenges of his time—such as the frontier's closing, industrialization, and the United States' emergence as a world power—as opportunities for Americans to demonstrate their resilience and pioneering spirit.The speech also reflects Roosevelt's beliefs in imperialism and American expansionism, which were influential in his advocacy for the United States' role in the Spanish-American War and its aftermath, including the annexation of territories like Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Philippines. Roosevelt argued that the strenuous life was not only about personal achievement but also about national duty and the moral obligation to bring American values and civilization to what he considered less developed parts of the world."The Strenuous Life" speech is emblematic of Roosevelt's larger body of work and philosophy, combining his advocacy for personal virtue with a vision of American global leadership. It remains a touchstone for discussions on American identity, values, and foreign policy.

  On February 15, 2015, Kate Matrosova, an avid mountaineer, set off before sunrise for a traverse of the Northern Presidential Range in New Hampshire's White Mountains. Late the following day, rescuers carried her frozen body out of the mountains amid some of the worst weather ever recorded on these deceptively rugged slopes. 
   
   
   
  At thirty-two, Matrosova was ultra-fit and healthy and had already summited much larger mountains on several continents. Her gear included a rescue beacon and a satellite phone. Yet, despite their best efforts, more than forty expert search and rescue personnel, a New Hampshire Army National Guard Blackhawk helicopter, and a Civil Air Patrol Cessna airplane could not reach her in time to save her. 
   
   
   
  What went wrong? 
   
   
   
  Where You'll Find Me offers possible answers to that question, demonstrating why Matrosova's story—what we know and what we will never know—represents such an intriguing and informative case study in risk analysis and decision-making.

  In December 1832 a farmer found the body of a young, pregnant woman hanging near a haystack outside a New England mill town. When news spread that Methodist preacher Ephraim Avery was accused of murdering Sarah Maria Cornell, a factory worker, the case gave the public everything they found irresistible: sexually charged violence, adultery, the hypocrisy of a church leader, secrecy and mystery, and suspicions of insanity. Murder in a Mill Town tells the story of how a local crime quickly turned into a national scandal that became America's first "trial of the century." 
   
   
   
  After her death, Cornell's choices about work, survival, and personal freedom became enmeshed in stories that Americans told themselves about their new world of industry and women's labor and the power of religion in the early republic. Ordinary people gave testimony that revealed rapidly changing times. As the controversy of Cornell's murder spread beyond the courtroom, the public eagerly devoured narratives of moral deviance, abortion, suicide, mobs, "fake news," and conspiracy politics. Long after the jury's verdict, the nation refused to let the scandal go. 
   
   
   
  A meticulously reconstructed historical whodunit, Murder in a Mill Town exposes the troublesome workings of criminal justice in the young democracy and the rise of a sensational popular culture.

  In the 1930's an entire nation was brainwashed. It was manipulated by masters of propaganda and the arcane arts. The result was the deaths of millions of people. The world was changed in just a few short years. 
   
  The men behind this massive scheme were members of the most evil and vile of political parties ever to have existed. We know them as the Nazis. 
   
  Their purpose was to bring about the rise of a so-called Aryan race. A race that would rule the world for a thousand years. This would be the third reich. 
   
  In-order to see the fulfilment of their grand scheme they needed to eradicate certain races from the globe and subjugate others. In-order to achieve this, they needed millions of people to believe and follow them and only them. And so they created a messiah, a God on Earth. His name was Adolf Hitler and he would become the master of manipulating the hearts and souls of man. 
   
  From mass hypnosis to blatant propaganda, from control of the media to eradicating the opposition. All methods were employed. 
   
  This is the story of how that incredible goal was actually brought to fruition and the methods used to control the minds of men. This is the story of Nazi Propaganda.
