This is Austen at the height of her powers: the ironic narration, hilariously drawn supporting characters, and romantic suspense make this her most enduringly popular novel.

  These 12 books are included in this combo, into the following categories: 
  Category 1: Personality disorders can be challenging. I personally know people who have some kind of disorder. It’s different when you interact with them. Not every moment, but the difference is in the details. 
  Category 2: Many people try to get a grasp of what goes on in the mind of a serial killer. Today, we can at least show you a limited perspective and some solid insights in the workings of their brains. Their reasons, their background, and their murder stories will be exposed to a certain degree. 
  Category 3: In this guide, we will focus on several topics. For one, we will explore the reasons why so many times, sociopaths and narcissists are elected as leaders of countries, cities, or companies. We will also study sociopaths’ seduction techniques and the ratio in the population as compare to earlier in history. Furthermore, you will learn more about the tips that sociopaths give each to manipulate their victims. And last but not least, we will show you some pointers to dealing with sociopathic children. 
  Category 4: If you’ve been looking for a book about narcissism, you probably already have an idea of what it is. Still, we’ll define it in this book before we start expanding on the intricate details of such a personality. In part, because there are so many myths about it and the term gets tossed around like a diaper into a trash been, while most people don’t realize what it is all about.

  By the author of Modoc:A famed trainer’s “wonderful” memoir of his bond with a lion—and his quest to change how animals were treated in Hollywood (People). 
   
  When Ralph Helfer, author of Modoc and one of Hollywood’s top animal behaviorists, first began working, he was shocked by the cruelty that was accepted practice in the field. He firmly believed in “affection training”—that love, not fear, should be the basis of any animal’s development, even when dealing with the most dangerous of creatures. Then Zamba came into his life—an adorable four-month-old lion cub that went on to prove Helfer’s theories resoundingly correct. 
   
  Over the next eighteen years, Zamba would thrive and grow, and go on to star in numerous motion pictures and television shows, all the while developing a deep and powerful bond of love and affection with the man who raised him. By turns astonishing, hilarious, and poignant, Zamba is the unforgettable story not only of the relationship that Helfer would come to consider one of the most important in his life but also of the amazing career and adventures of the greatest lion in the world. 
   
  “Many stories, both humorous and touching . . . a fascinating book.” —School Library Journal 
   
  “A warmhearted tale of love between two species.” —Booklist
