  In the shadowed corners of America, a predator moved unseen. Israel Keyes was a name unknown to most—a seemingly ordinary man who meticulously concealed a life of darkness beneath a veneer of normalcy. "Dark Journeys: Unmasking Israel Keyes's Hidden Trail" delves deep into the enigmatic existence of one of the most elusive serial killers in modern history. 
  This gripping account takes you on a journey through Keyes's life, from his isolated upbringing in rural America to his disciplined years in the U.S. Army, and into the calculated methods that allowed him to commit crimes across the country without detection. Unveiling the complex layers of his double life, the book explores how Keyes balanced his roles as a devoted father and small business owner with his hidden compulsions. 
  Through extensive research and compelling narrative, each chapter reveals how Keyes evaded law enforcement by exploiting gaps in the system, utilizing "kill kits" buried in multiple states, and selecting victims at random to avoid patterns. The detailed examination of his crimes—including the chilling abduction of Samantha Koenig—sheds light on his meticulous planning and the psychological mechanisms that enabled his actions. 
  The book also chronicles the relentless efforts of investigators who, piece by piece, uncovered the truth behind Keyes's facade. It highlights the challenges faced by law enforcement in tracking a criminal who defied conventional profiling and the breakthroughs that ultimately led to his capture. 
  "Dark Journeys" is more than a true crime story; it's a profound exploration of the human psyche and the profound impact one individual can have on countless lives. It raises critical questions about the nature of evil, the vulnerabilities within society, and the complexities of justice.

  Don Perkins led a life as one of the most honored athletes in the history of the University of New Mexico and the Dallas Cowboys. But Perkins's life was far more complex and, at times, controversial. He experienced the traumas of racial discrimination, death, divorce, football-related injuries, and a never-ending search for his own identity. In his search, Perkins ventured into sportscasting, public speaking, community relations, big-rig trucking, government work, and even amateur theater, where he portrayed Frederick Douglass and other famous Black leaders. Through it all, he remained a kind, unassuming, charismatic man, universally admired by family members, friends, and millions of fans. Don Perkins: A Champion's Life is the final tribute he so greatly deserves.

  The Great Philosophers - From...

  Philosophy has been underway for more than 2,000 years. The Great Philosophers traces the biggest and most influential thoughts in philosophy's long stride through history, beginning with the ancient Greeks and early Romans, the first philosophical thinkers in the West, to whom much is owed. 
   
  How their concerns became the concerns of those who followed is clearly laid out, as is the way their answers shaped what we now recognize as philosophy. The medieval philosophers are also represented, combining their religious concerns with ancient thought and carrying it into the Renaissance. The modern era, the explosion of philosophy sparked by Descartes, is well represented here too. Founders and representatives of both rationalist and empiricist schools make an appearance, as do philosophy's skeptics with their often-darker conclusions. 
   
  Philosophy's long walk continues, and you will find here the thoughts which make its contemporary form what it is, and perhaps what it is on the way to becoming. Philosophy is very much still underway, and The Great Philosophers pays regard to both the discipline as it is practiced now and to the history which made contemporary philosophy possible.
