Sinopse

It was 1969, and the country was agitated. The Vietnam War was raging, student protests were rocking college campuses, and the moon landing was still a tantalizing dream. A young, ambitious senator in Washington, D.C. named John Pastore presided over a subcommittee hearing. He was known for his tough mind-set, a man who knew no fools. His task that day was to determine whether public broadcasting would get the $20 million in funding he so desperately needed. And then Fred Rogers walked in.He didn’t look like much. He didn’t have advisors beside him or wear political armor. No campaign slogans. No charisma in the traditional sense. He didn’t raise his voice. He didn’t come armed with statistics or pie charts. What he brought, instead, was something far more powerful: a quiet belief in the emotional life of children.

    Twelve True Crime Stories of Murder & Mayhem 
    Book Ten of the True Crime Case Histories Series 
    Over 8,000 Five-Star Ratings 
    True crime is not for everyone. But chances are, if you’ve picked up this book, you already know that. Actual true crime is not like watching an episode of CSI. Even television true crime documentaries can skim over the sticky details. Real true crime can be unsettling for many people. However, I do my best not to leave out any details in my books. My intention isn’t to shock but rather to give the reader a glimpse into the killer’s mind. I don’t begin to think that I can understand the mind of a diabolical monster, but I can guarantee that curiosity will keep us turning pages and endlessly searching for answers. 
    A sampling of the stories includes: 
    A Sad Holiday Season - In the north of England, a sixteen-year-old girl disappeared after Christmas shopping with her friend. A massive manhunt led police to a serial killer who lived just blocks away from her home. 
    Pretty in Pink - A teenage girl showed up at the door of a farmhouse bruised, bloody, and unable to remember how she got there. Investigators dug through the clues to uncover a bizarre love triangle and a gruesome murder. 
    A Perfect Holiday - After her partner is sent to prison for molesting her eldest daughter, a mother will do anything to keep her two youngest children from being taken by social services. 
    They Got in the Way - A single mother of two young children would do absolutely anything to spend more time meeting sex partners online. Even the unthinkable. 
    The Girl Scout - When a seven-year-old girl disappears from her upstairs bedroom in the middle of the night, a small community realizes they have a devious predator in their midst. 
    Plus, many more disturbing stories.

    "What I Was Doing While You Were Breeding is kind of like if Eat, Pray, Love were written by your funniest friend." —Rachel Dratch 
     
     
     
    Kristin Newman spent much of her twenties and thirties buying dresses to wear to her friends' weddings and baby showers. Not ready to settle down and in need of an escape from her fast-paced job as a sitcom writer, Kristin instead traveled the world, often alone, for several weeks each year. In addition to falling madly in love with the planet, Kristin fell for many attractive locals, men who could provide the emotional connection she wanted without costing her the freedom she desperately needed. 
     
     
     
    Kristin introduces listeners to the Israeli bartenders, Finnish poker players, sexy Bedouins, and Argentinean priests who helped her transform into "Kristin-Adjacent" on the road—a slower, softer, and, yes, sluttier version of herself at home. Equal parts laugh-out-loud storytelling, candid reflection, and wanderlust-inspiring travel tales, What I Was Doing While You Were Breeding is a compelling debut that will have listeners rushing to renew their passports.

    Otto Papesch was my father. I was four years old when he died. I asked myself for years what kind of a human being he was. I have attempted to paint a picture of that handsome, charismatic, cultivated, professional chemical engineer, enthusiastic sportsman, photographer and family man by basing myself on the vast correspondence that still exists, his diary of 1917, stories about him from my mother and grandparents and the innumerable photos he took over the years. This has been an attempt to describe his prominent characteristics but also shed light on his 
    dilemmas and the contradictions in his personality and thereby to describe the important events of his short life. Would his destiny have been different had he been born a year later?

    Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz was a "universal genius" who ranged across many fields and made breakthroughs in most of them. Leibniz invented calculus (independently from Isaac Newton), conceptualized the modern computer, and developed the famous thesis that the existing world is the best that God could have created. 
     
     
     
    Historian and Leibniz expert Michael Kempe takes us on a journey into the mind of a man whose contributions are perhaps without parallel in human history. Structured around seven crucial days in Leibniz's life, Kempe's account allows us to observe him in the act of thinking and creating, and gives us a deeper understanding of his broad-reaching intellectual endeavors. On October 29, 1675, he is in Paris, diligently working from his bed amid a sea of notes, and committing the integral symbol—the basis of his calculus—to paper. On April 17, 1703, Leibniz is in Berlin, writing a letter reporting that a Jesuit priest living in China has discovered how to use Leibniz's binary number system to decipher an ancient Chinese system of writing. One day in August 1714, Leibniz enjoys a Viennese coffee while drawing new connections among ontology and biology and mathematics. The Best of All Possible Worlds transports us to an age defined by rational optimism and a belief in progress, and will endure as one of the few authoritative accounts of Leibniz's life.
