Summary

In 1949, a crime reporter looking for a way to fill a column published the nation’s ten worst criminals as classified by the FBI: two accused murderers, four escaped convicts, a bank robber, and three “confidence men.” In addition to the stark black and white photos that accompanied the article, the public was most moved by the idea that law enforcement was asking them for help. Fired up by the gesture of confidence, Americans banded together to wholeheartedly support the motion, leading to tips that helped facilitate the capture of the advertised criminals. Some of those on the list even surrendered voluntarily due to the increased publicity. The rogues’ gallery showcases fugitives such as:• William Raymond Nesbit, first on the list to be captured• James Earl Ray, assassin of Martin Luther King Jr.• Ted Bundy, ruthless serial killer• Ruth Eisemann-Schier, kidnapper and first woman to make the Top Ten• Ramzi Ahmed Yousef, 1993 World Trade Center bomberThis encyclopedia includes criminals’ photographs, crime details, and “interesting fugitive facts” as well as a brief history of the list and what it has accomplished in more than fifty years.

    In 1887, with the perspective on enhancing and finishing specific new tenets which he had simply outlined in Past Great and Fiendishness (see particularly Axiom 260), Nietzsche distributed The Parentage of Ethics. This work is maybe the most un-aphoristic, in structure, of every one of Nietzsche's creations. For scientific influence, all the more particularly in those parts where Nietzsche analyzes the austere ideal, The Lineage of Ethics is unmatched by some other of his works; and, in the light which it tosses upon the mentality of the ecclesiast to the man of disdain and mishap, it is one of the most important commitments to sacerdotal brain science 
Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche was a German rationalist, social pundit and philologist whose work has applied a significant impact on current scholarly history. He started his vocation as a traditional philologist prior to going to theory.

    Ten crucial psychological truths that provide “a clinical framework with concrete ways to tackle standing emotional issues” (Foreword Reviews). 
 
During tens of thousands of hours facilitating psychotherapy, Drs. Christopher Cortman and Harold Shinitzky came to realize that most people are unaware of ten crucial psychological truths—truths imperative to maintaining mental health and well-being. As a result of this lack of awareness, people become anxious, depressed, and generally unhappy; if they learn the ten truths, they are more likely to lead productive, fulfilled lives. Do you know that:Emotions are understandable and contain valuable information?Our behavior has a hidden purpose?We all have an internal saboteur whom we must identify and control?We can change how we act if we change how we think?Time heals nothing? 
 
Your Mind: An Owner’s Manual for a Better Life combines extensive psychological research with decades of clinical practice in a practical, easy-to-digest narrative. Through examples and exercises, Drs. Cortman and Shinitzky present a step-by-step strategy to help you make use of the truths and become a happier, healthier you.

    What does it mean to be a woman? What is the pathway to mature femininity? And what of the masculine components of a woman's personality? Robert A. Johnson explores these questions in this new edition of She, updated to reflect the growth of his thinking on these subjects.Many writers and scholars have long considered that the ancient myth of Amor and Psyche is really the story of a woman's task of becoming whole, complete, and individuated. Here, examining this ancient story in depth and lightening up the details, Johnson has produced an arresting and perceptive exploration of what it means to become a woman. You will not listen to this book without understanding the important women in your life and a good deal more about yourself as a woman.
