  Eyraud and Bompard

  From H. B. Irving’s A Book of Remarkable Criminals comes the definitive account of the Eyraud–Bompard affair—one of Paris’s most sensational 1889 murders. When the genial bailiff Gouffe vanishes, a trail of an empty trunk, scorched matches, and a grim discovery near Lyons draws master detective M. Goron into a case that races from Paris to London, New York, Mexico, and Havana. Irving unspools the plot with a storyteller’s snap and a historian’s care: the honey trap in a rented flat, the chilling pulley-and-cord strangulation, Dr. Lacassagne’s forensic breakthrough, and the international manhunt that corners Michel Eyraud after months of brazen cons. At the center stands the mercurial Gabrielle Bompard—vain, quick-witted, and morally unmoored—whose courtroom bid to blame hypnotic suggestion turns the trial into a media storm. Ross Blilie’s clear, atmospheric narration brings to life the investigators, doctors, and lovers locked in a battle of wills, exposing themes of obsession, manipulation, and justice at the dawn of modern criminology. Gripping, shocking, and richly detailed, this is classic true crime told with rare precision and pulse.

  Thoughts, unlike objects, do not belong to you: they come from somewhere else all the time, stay and interact with your Consciousness for a while, and then imperceptibly disappear to somewhere. Your thinking is the process of continuously synthesizing in your reality newer and newer Forms from the already known to you mental and sensual experience. Therefore for you the thinking process represents the beginning and the end of absolutely all of your desires - from getting some material benefits to achieving higher (according to your concepts) spiritual goals.By mastering the art of mental transformations, you will have an absolutely real means of consciously controlling the material conditions of your earthly existence. By improving in this direction, your mentality can reach the point where it becomes possible to control the powerful factors of the natural elements of Nature, influencing not only the weather, but also such destructive phenomena as tornadoes, tornadoes, earthquakes, tsunamis with the power of your Mind

  Think of Others - What is Your...

  “Think of Others: What is Your Radius of Concern?” invites readers to consider how empathy and responsibility influence our personal lives and communities. Donald F. Gerson introduces the concept of a “radius of concern,” which measures how far one’s care extends beyond immediate family and close friends to community, country, and the Earth. He urges readers to reflect on how expanding their radius of concern can create stronger, more compassionate, and resilient communities that benefit all members of society. Through vivid stories, Gerson leads readers on a path from empathic concern to effective altruistic action, improving the lives of people from local communities to distant lands. Drawing on decades of leadership in social settings, laboratories, and manufacturing facilities, the author demonstrates that caring for others is a natural and essential part of human well-being. The book explores how simple acts of kindness foster trust, alleviate loneliness, and enhance daily life. In particular, the enormous efforts behind the discovery, manufacturing, approvals, and distribution of new medicines depend first on an empathic concern for those who may become ill, and then the transformation of that feeling into tangible altruistic outcomes that take years and enormous resources to bring to fruition—in a way that only happens by working together. The net result provides both physical health and well-being to all of us, everywhere. Gerson also emphasizes the importance of helping others expand their own sphere of concern. Through mentorship, community service, and sharing knowledge, we can promote empathy and responsibility among those around us. “Think of Others” serves as both a reflection and a practical guide. It calls for us to build the meaning and substance of concerned care outward from ourselves to all of humanity. It encourages each of us to do whatever we can for others, no matter how distant they may be.
