Sinopse

Mysterious Missing Objects explores the captivating realm of history's unexplained disappearances, focusing on lost treasures, missing manuscripts, and vanished artifacts. These irretrievable losses reveal intriguing insights into human nature and the fragility of cultural heritage. Consider the Florentine Diamond, a treasure sparking relentless searches, or the lost scrolls of Alexandria, whose absence potentially erased entire chapters of history.

 
The book uniquely blends History with True Crime, appealing to those fascinated by historical investigations and unsolved mysteries.

 
The book progresses methodically, first introducing the concept of "irretrievable loss" and the motivations behind the pursuit of these objects. It then presents detailed case studies, drawing upon historical records and archaeological findings to investigate disappearances like that of the Ark of the Covenant.

 
Finally, it analyzes the broader implications of these losses, considering their impact on historical narratives and ethical considerations surrounding their potential recovery. Through rigorous research and a multi-faceted perspective incorporating forensic science and criminology, Mysterious Missing Objects offers a comprehensive yet accessible overview.

 
It acknowledges the limitations of available information, presenting different viewpoints on controversies surrounding ownership and authenticity. The book invites readers to contemplate the profound impact of what is no longer there, making it valuable for anyone interested in history, archaeology, or the pursuit of missing objects.

    Assassinations That Changed The...

    48 assassinations - from Archduke Franz Ferdinand to Osama Bin Laden - that changed the world. 
    We live in an age of asymmetric warfare. Huge armies no longer face each other on the battlefield. Instead heads of major powers and lone assassins (or martyrs) target each other to pursue their agendas. President Donald Trump felt it necessary to use drones to blow away the Iranian Revolutionary Guard's Qasem Soleimani-a mastermind of terrorism in the Middle East who threatened the lives of US troops-and President Barack Obama felt fully justified in sending in US Navy SEALs to take out Osama bin Laden in Pakistan. This is the nature of modern warfare. And it is only going to get worse.  
    When nineteen-year-old Gavrilo Princip assassinated Archduke Franz Ferdinand, heir to the Austrian throne, in 1914, he triggered the First World War. Few assassinations have had such devastating consequences, but political assassinations have always changed the world – often in ways that the assassins and their cohorts could not have predicted.  
    The murder of John F. Kennedy left Lyndon B. Johnson free to escalate the war in Vietnam. However, the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr. while not derailing the demands for African American civil rights in the US, did lead many to abandoning his commitment to nonviolence and adopting more radical means.  
    In a world globalized by social media, more lone-wolf assassins seek their fifteen minutes of fame by taking out a famous figure, while leaders of world powers have everything to gain by decapitating terrorist organizations, employing the latest surveillance technology to obliterate their leaders.  
    There are forty-eight assassinations that changed the world in this book. Rest assured that in the coming years we will see many more.

    Customers know Brown's Chicken for its crispy buttermilk fried chicken and flaky biscuits. The Illinois-based franchise has a reputation for delicious but simple comfort food. But through no fault of its own, the words "Brown's Chicken" are also synonymous with one fateful night in January of 1993."A Real Hometown" is the trite but apt motto of Palatine, Illinois, a quaint middle-class suburb west of Chicago. On a snowy Friday evening, the staff and owners of the city's local Brown's Chicken franchise were closing up when two final customers arrived just past 9pm. As the night drew on and the employees hadn't returned home, the families of the owners and workers began to worry, prompting police to investigate. When they entered the dark building, police were shocked to find seven bodies stacked in the restaurant's freezer and fridge. The killers, of course, were long gone. In the months that followed, the horrendous story rocked Chicagoland and the case remained unsolved for nine years.The Brown's Chicken massacre is one of the most infamous cases in Illinois history, yet it is often misremembered. In Something Big, Patrick Wohl gives a new account of the story, taking listeners behind the scenes and sharing the perspective of the people who lived it.
