  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.

  The Navalny case Conspiration to...

  Was Navalny deliberately poisoned? Does the evidence we have justify sanctions against Russia? Was the recording with the KGB agent a set-up? Is Navalny really the "main opponent of Vladimir Putin"? Does his film about "Putin's Palace" reflect reality? This book is the first investigation of the Navalny case. It is based on official American, British, Russian, French and German documents. Written by an ex-agent of the Swiss secret service who fought for ten years against the Soviet Union, this account highlights a new way of practicing foreign policy: passionate, disordered, without hindsight or constructive purpose. The immediate application of sanctions while the facts remain unclear removes all space for diplomacy. The Western unison around this affair and the censorship against dissenting voices reveal a disturbing evolution of society and its growing vulnerability to manipulation. We create realities out of our prejudices: this is the definition of conspiracy, which has become the main weapon of Western countries. We do what we reproach the autocrats for. Jacques Baud, a colonel in the Swiss army, is an expert in chemical and nuclear weapons, and trained in counter-terrorism and counter-guerrilla warfare. In the service of the United Nations, he was head of doctrine for peacekeeping operations in New York, and engaged in Africa. At NATO, he led the fight against the proliferation of small arms. 
  This audiobook is read by a synthesized voice.

  How to Make People Do What You...

  Do you want to learn how to appeal to people, be happier, healthier, and free? How to Make People Do What You Want will get you started on that wonderful path. 
  Modern life distracts us from what's really important, causing us to forget who we really are. 
  None of us were born with fears, depression, or nervousness. Something in our lives along the line pushes us into a downward spiral, careening into problems left and right. The solutions to these problems may be staring us straight in the face, but unless we try, we'll never figure it out and reach our full potential. For some, dealing with people can be very stressful, but it doesn't have to be! 
  The hangups and baggage that weigh us down need to be set aside, we need to become free. Many kind, caring, and intelligent people repel potential friends, employers, and even future spouses because they're not socially perceptive, they don't understand how to attract friends, and they don't understand what impression their words, actions, and behaviors may give to others. 
  This skill is vital to learn because not one of us is an island, we can try to live by ourselves, but we make life so much more rich, easy, joyous, simple, and relaxed when we work together with friends to reach a common goal. 
  Life doesn't have to be so difficult, the repetitive, boring, stressful, and unpleasant life you probably live is not a necessity—it's up to you, it's your choice. Choose wisely. Doing and learning new things will inherently require us to make changes, big changes, and this will feel uncomfortable. Our "comfort zones" lock us into a cage, a self-made prison that limits us and keeps us away from the unknown. Adventure and pure joy start when we step out of our comfort zones, we embrace the great unknown, and we follow our deepest dreams. 
  You won't want to do this alone.

  Napoleon’s Worst Defeats: The...

  Editors Charles River

  Over the course of its history, England has engaged in an uncountable number of battles, but a select few have been celebrated like the Battle of Trafalgar, one of the most important naval battles in history. Before the battle, Napoleon still harbored dreams of sailing an invasion force across the English Channel and subduing England, but that would be dashed on October 21, 1805 by a British fleet that was outnumbered and outgunned.  
  	Napoleon's Russian adventure gutted his veteran army, depriving him of the majority of his finest and most loyal soldiers. Those who remained formed the hard core of his new armies, but the Russian fiasco damaged their health and embittered their previously unquestioning loyalty. Napoleon raised vast new armies, but circumstances compelled him to fill the ranks with raw recruits, whose fighting skills did not equal their undoubted bravery and whose dedication to the Napoleonic cause was shaky, and in many cases due solely to coercion. The tough, experienced, faithful veteran found himself outnumbered by unwilling, sketchily trained amateurs. 
  These factors set the stage for the second setback, which essentially sealed the fate of Napoleon's empire. The four-day Battle of Leipzig in October 1813, romantically but accurately dubbed the "Battle of the Nations," proved the decisive encounter of the War of the Sixth Coalition and essentially determined the course the Napoleonic Wars took from that moment forward.  
  	Waterloo is the most famous battle in modern history if not all of history, and appropriately so. Gathering an army of 100,000 men, Napoleon marched into what is now Belgium, intent on driving his force between the advancing British army under the Duke of Wellington and the Prussian forces under Marshal Blucher. It was the kind of daring strategy that only Napoleon could pull off, as he had at places like Jena and Austerlitz.
