  ‘Grimly fascinating … engrossing’ Daily Mail  
  NINE HISTORIC CRIMES. ONE FAMILIAR OBSESSION. 
  In early modern England, murder truly was most foul. Trials were gossipy events packed to the rafters with noisome spectators. Executions were public proceedings which promised not only gore, but desperate confessions and the grandest, most righteous human drama. Bookshops saw grisly stories of crime and death sell like hot cakes. 
  This history unfolds the true stories of murder, criminal investigation, early forensic techniques, high court trials and so much more. 
  In thrilling narrative, we follow a fugitive killer through the streets of London, citizen detectives clamouring to help officials close the net. We untangle the mystery of a suspected staged suicide through the newly emerging science of forensic pathology. We see a mother trying to clear her dead daughter’s name while other women faced the accusations – sometimes true and sometimes not – of murdering their own children. 
  These stories are pieced together from original research using coroner’s inquests, court records, parish archives, letters, diaries and the cheap street pamphlets that proliferated to satisfy a voracious public. 
  These intensely personal stories portray the lives of real people as they confronted the extraordinary crises of murder, infanticide, miscarriage and suicide. Many historical laws and attitudes concerning death and murder may strike us as exceptionally cruel, and yet many still remind us that some things never change: we are still fascinated by narratives of murder and true crime, murder trials today continue to be grand public spectacles, female killers are frequently cast as aberrant objects of public hatred and sexual desire, and suicide remains a sin within many religious organisations and was a crime in England until the 1960s. 
  Great and Horrible News! explores the strange history of death and murder in early modern England, yet the stories within may appear shockingly familiar. 
  Great and Horrible News by Blessin Adams is a riveting biography of the most notorious criminals of the Stuart and Elizabethan eras. This latest bestseller offers a new perspective on the period from 1485-1603, making it a top choice for those interested in European history. 
  For fans of Michelle Morgan (The Book of Hope), Kate Summerscale (The Peepshow), Tom Holland (The Rest is History), David Wilson (A History Of British Serial Killing), and Christopher Clark (Kaiser Wilhelm II).

  Oliver's well-researched biography of Mansa Musa echoes the style of an exotic tale of gold, glory, and adventure. During his long reign as Mali's emperor, Mansa Musa led his empire into its Golden Age; presided over a spectacular, 60,000 person, 9,000 mile pilgrimage; founded a university in Timbuktu; and helped revolutionize architecture across the Sudan.Many of the African ancestors of today's African-Americans came from West Africa. From 700 -- 1600 A. D., one after the other, three great, black, commercial empires dominated West Africa. They were powerful, prosperous, complex, stable -- and large. At its height, the Empire of Mali was the size of all of Western Europe.Well-crafted and fast paced, Oliver's book did not only clearly portray Mansa Musa's triumphs and dilemmas, but also the lives of the people of medieval Mali.

  Even though emotional intelligence lacks the volume of quantitative empirical cognitive research that IQ has, the research in the field of cognitive learning has suggested that emotional intelligence is a key fundamental aspect of education. According to a report published by the National Center for Clinical Infant Programs, the level of success that a student has learned new material boils down to their levels of confidence, self-control, curiosity, their ability to communicate, their cooperativeness, their relatedness, and their intentionality. All these traits are aspects of emotional intelligence. More recently, social scientists are beginning to uncover the relationship of emotional intelligence to other organizational psychologies, such as leadership, group performance, individual performance, interpersonal exchange, performance evaluations, and change management. Humans are social beings, and as such, our level of success when dealing with people is intimately linked with our level of emotional intelligence.
