Anatomy of a Medically Abusive Childhood - A Memoir

Candace Ahalse

Sinopsis

    Have you ever been in contact with a medical or Munchausen by proxy abuser? Are you sure? Have you ever been in a traffic accident, a school lockdown, an office lockdown, an infrastructure failure, a fire, or a power outage? Have you ever been burglarized, stalked, falsely accused of a crime, falsely accused of a scandal, or catfished? Have you ever had your property vandalized, your car sabotaged, your property stolen, or your pets stolen? Have you ever been conned, swindled, or taken advantage of? Have you ever gotten food poisoning? If the answer to any of these questions is yes, you may have been in contact with a MBP abuser. MBP abusers sometimes engage in a wide range of behaviors that extend far beyond the medical field. Certainly, not all such incidents are evidence of MBP, just like not all illnesses are evidence of MBP, but have you ever sensed that something more was going on in a particular case? Have you ever noticed the same person connected to multiple such incidents?
    In "Anatomy of a Medically Abusive Childhood," Candace Ahalse takes you through one such case - the case of her own childhood.

Confessions of a Marseilles Mob...

Amin Kacem

This document is unique! It was written by the hand of a mob boss, on simple sheets of paper, between 2022 and 2023. For the first time, a Marseilles Tony Montana lifts the veil on the northern neighborhoods, the shootouts at the foot of the towers and the thousands of drug users who flock there every day.
From his Algerian childhood to his run-ins with the law, via his career as a lookout, a drug dealer... and a dad, the man who calls himself Amin Kacem throws us into the world of Scarface. With his vivid, unvarnished pen, the mob boss tells of violence, danger, injustice, greed and the will to live.
More than a story about a man and drugs, for the author, this book is a testament. Above all, it’s a terrible response to those who are surprised that entire neighborhoods are collapsing; it’s a thunderclap that will give pause to young people dreaming of a career as super-dealers; and it’s a merciless challenge to the politicians who, for a long time, could have, and therefore should have, prevented the current tragedies and imminent catastrophe.

Colombia's Economic...

Anya Solace

Colombia's economic transformation has been a complex and dynamic process shaped by historical events, political decisions, and global economic trends. From its early indigenous trade systems to its current standing as one of Latin America's largest economies, Colombia's journey has been marked by periods of growth, crisis, and resilience. Understanding this transformation requires a deep dive into the key factors that have influenced its economy over the centuries.
The foundation of Colombia's economy was laid long before Spanish colonization. Indigenous communities engaged in agriculture, trade, and resource management, establishing early economic structures. However, the arrival of the Spanish in the early 16th century drastically altered the economic landscape. The Spanish introduced a mercantilist system that prioritized resource extraction, particularly gold, and forced indigenous labor into exploitative economic activities. This period also saw the beginnings of agricultural exports, as crops like sugar and tobacco became integral to the colonial economy.
Following independence in 1810, Colombia faced significant economic instability. The transition from colonial rule to a sovereign state disrupted established trade networks and led to political fragmentation. Wars of independence had devastated infrastructure and financial systems, leaving the new republic struggling to establish a stable economy. The 19th century saw slow economic progress, with regional economies developing independently and a reliance on agriculture persisting. Coffee emerged as Colombia's most valuable export by the late 19th century, setting the stage for greater economic integration and growth.

The Court of Last Resort - The...

Erle Stanley Gardner

Edgar Award Winner: True stories of miscarriages of justice, legal battles, and landmark reversals, by the creator of Perry Mason. In 1945, Erle Stanley Gardner, noted attorney and author of the popular Perry Mason mysteries, was contacted by an overwhelmed California public defender who believed his doomed client was innocent. William Marvin Lindley had been convicted of the rape and murder of a young girl along the banks of the Yuba River, and was awaiting execution at San Quentin. After reviewing the case, Gardner agreed to help—it seemed the fate of the “Red-Headed Killer” hinged on the testimony of a colorblind witness. Gardner’s intervention sparked the Court of Last Resort. The Innocence Project of its day, this ambitious and ultimately successful undertaking was devoted to investigating, reviewing, and reversing wrongful convictions owing to poor legal representation, prosecutorial abuses, biased police activity, bench corruption, unreliable witnesses, and careless forensic-evidence testimony. The crimes: rape, murder, kidnapping, and manslaughter. The prisoners: underprivileged and vulnerable men wrongly convicted and condemned to life sentences or death row with only one hope—the devotion of Erle Stanley Gardner and the Court of Last Resort. Featuring Gardner’s most damning cases of injustice from across the country, The Court of Last Resort won the Edgar Award for Best Fact Crime. Originating as a monthly column in Argosy magazine, it was produced as a dramatized court TV show for NBC.

The Padre - The True Story of...

Jennifer O'Leary

Today, Tipperary-born priest Patrick Ryan cuts a modest but strong figure, to the layperson. A man of God who has been entrusted with the confessions of hundreds of earnest parishioners. But in fact his story is dark, dramatic, and pivotal to Irish history, on both sides of the border. 
 
In The Padre, award-winning investigative journalist Jennifer O’Leary exposes the paramilitary exploits of notorious former Catholic priest and active IRA supporter Patrick Ryan – exposing details which have, outside of his very guarded circles, been unknown until now. 
 
Drawing on highly sensitive information, divulged by Ryan during exclusive secret meetings with the author, The Padre lifts the lid on the true extent of the priest’s involvement with the IRA: from being the link between the organisation and the Gaddafi regime, to Ryan’s connection to the failed assassination attempt on Margaret Thatcher and her cabinet. 
 
The Padre tells the truly remarkably story of this man of the cloth, and his lifelong struggle with what he, in his heart, believes to be right and wrong.
