Sinopsis

Warren township in the southern portion of Herkimer County has been the scene of more than one gruesome event.  In January 1885, locals reeled in horror when disgruntled wife Roxalana Druse shot her husband and dismembered his corpse to incinerate it in a farm house stove. Her trial and hanging was followed up in May of 1901 with two murders in yet another farm house kitchen. John C. Wallis had allowed his ex-wife Arvilla to return home, one year after running off with hired farm hand Ben Hoyt. Wallis then rehired Hoyt and within months both Ben Hoyt and Arvilla Wallis were dead. Did Ben Hoyt murder Arvilla in cold blood or did John C. Wallis kill both of them?  Author James M. Greiner investigates a mysterious case of marriage, infidelity and multiple murders in turn of the century Herkimer County.

    Mothercare - On Obligation Love...

    Brilliantly original novelist and cultural critic Lynne Tillman became one of nearly 53 million Americans who care for a sick family member when her mother developed an unusual and little understood condition called Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus. 
     
     
     
    Instantly, Tillman's independent and spirited mother went from someone she knew to someone else, a woman entirely dependent on her children—an eleven-year process through which her mother underwent many surgeries and some misdiagnoses, while the family navigated consultations and confrontations with doctors, adjusting to the complexity of her cognitive issues, including memory loss. 
     
     
     
    With her notoriously exquisite writing style and reputation as a "rich noticer of strange things" (Colm Toíbín), Tillman describes, without flinching, the unexpected, heartbreaking, and frustrating years of caring for a sick parent. 
     
     
     
    Mothercare is both a cautionary tale and sympathetic guidance for anyone who suddenly becomes a caregiver, responsible for the life of another—a parent, loved or not, or a friend. This story may be helpful, informative, consoling, or upsetting, but it never fails to underscore how impossible it is to get the job done completely right.

    "An unflinching memoir of a spy during a tumultuous time and unsavory alliances. Dobson recounts her recruitment, training, and espionage with rare self-awareness." —Henry R. Schlesinger, author of Honey Trapped 
     
     
     
    From the snowy Soviet shooting range to the heat and dust of Africa, nothing is what it seems. And neither is Sue Dobson. 
     
     
     
    The image of South Africa in the 1980's as the golden paradise on the tip of the African continent conceals a brutal, racist Apartheid regime. Those who oppose it risk their lives. Beauty and brutality go hand in hand. 
     
     
     
    Sue Dobson, a young white South African woman lives a 'legend'—a life where she pretends to conform, moving easily through the echelons of the racist government in her work as a journalist, whilst concealing her espionage and military training in the Soviet Union, and her intelligence work for the banned African National Congress. 
     
     
     
    Matters come to a head when sinister forces try to derail the Namibian independence process and Sue's cover is blown during a difficult honey trap operation, bringing the Cold War to Africa, and leading to her desperate flight across Southern Africa with the Apartheid security police snapping at her heels.

    Psychology of the Stock Market is a timeless exploration of the human mind’s powerful influence on financial markets. Written by G. C. Selden in the early 20th century, this concise yet insightful work dissects the emotional forces that drive investor behavior—greed, fear, hope, and herd mentality—and how these psychological factors create the speculative cycles that shape markets. 
    Selden goes beyond charts and fundamentals to examine the mindset of traders and the mass psychology of the investing public. With practical examples and philosophical clarity, he reveals how market participants often act irrationally, misinterpret data, and fall victim to emotional extremes. This audiobook is essential listening for anyone seeking to understand the true engine behind market movements: human nature. 
    Whether you're a seasoned investor or just beginning your financial journey, Selden’s reflections remain startlingly relevant in today’s volatile economic landscape. Narrated with clarity and poise, this edition brings a century-old classic to life for modern ears.
