The Many Murders of Michael Malloy - The unbelievable true story of the Irishman who refused to die

Simon Read

Summary

A devious speakeasy owner. A crooked undertaker. A cunning bartender. A psychotic cabbie. A hapless greengrocer. A notorious thug.
And one Irishman who came to be known as 'Iron Mike'.
Set around New York's Prohibition-era speakeasy scene in the 1930s in what became known as 'the most grotesque chain of events in New York criminal history', The Many Murders of Michael Malloy is the tragic true story of six low-rent, desperate and extraordinarily incompetent murderers and one lonely Irish emigrant of exceptional fortitude and resilience.
Poisoned, frozen, knocked down twice – Malloy survived it all, until he didn't.
This is the utterly compelling, stranger-than-fiction story of the most infamous Irish murder you've never heard of.

History of Toulouse

Henri Ramet

Plunge headlong into the heart of Toulouse: this audiobook vividly restores, with captivating precision, the epic of a major Midi city—from its Celtic origins to the Roman era, from Visigothic splendor to the dramas of the Albigensian Crusade, and on to municipal affirmation and medieval intellectual growth. Discover a crossroads city shaped by its Garonne River, ramparts, markets, religious orders, and capitouls; a melting pot of arts, law, and faith where troubadours, builders, merchants, and jurists intertwine. Henri Ramet, a magistrate-historian of luminous rigor, weaves a clear, dense, and sensitive fresco: living topography, resurrected monuments, explained institutions, major crises recounted at street level (Taur, Daurade, Saint-Sernin, Château Narbonnais), never sacrificing emotion to knowledge. Narration breathes life and rhythm into this urban chronicle, turning archives and stones into characters. For those who love concrete history, world-cities, and collective destinies, here is a broad, scholarly, and vibrant journey—where one feels the heartbeat of "Palladian" Toulouse, century after century. An instant classic for understanding, seeing, and loving the pink city differently.

The Children We Left Behind -...

Adam B. Coleman

Nearly every major social problem in the West can be traced back to our declining appreciation for the nuclear family structure and our failure to plan for families properly. Our culture has shifted from prioritizing sacrifice for the benefit of innocent children to catering to the fleeting desires of the adults who bring them into the world. 
As a result, family separation has become commonplace, and what we consider normal is often rationalized, even when it harms our children. The culture of radical individualism among adults has left children to bear the consequences of their parents' choices. 
I was once that child who was left behind, neglected by his father, and witnessed his mother shoulder the load for our survival. My father's choice to abandon me physically and emotionally contributed to my decades of struggle with depression, low self-esteem, and suicidal ideation. 
Unfortunately, my experience of homelessness, mental hospital incarceration, and perpetual internal strife is no longer rare. However, our stories are often ignored, and we avoid holding accountable the parents who have failed us. 
If we are to change our culture's trajectory, we must sacrifice our pride and prioritize the needs of our children over our own selfish desires. Our children must come first, or they will come last-there is no middle ground.

Breakthroughs - Realizing Our...

Keith Nelson

Breakthroughs show readers the world of Tricky Mixes as key pathways to breakthrough advances--estimates of human potential may never be the same again. Dynamic Systems theories and research provide the backbone concepts for Breakthroughs. Yet, readers discover that new Dynamic Mixes reveal untapped human potential in everyday situations not just in rigorous scientific studies. Individuals, small groups, and large organizations often get "stuck" in their progress by failing to respect and explore the complex interacting factors impacting their situations.  Breakthroughs present countless examples which reveal that variants of the same dynamic processes underlie being stuck, versus progressing at modest rates, or advancing at turbo speeds. These examples and events are drawn from research with Keith E. Nelson’s colleagues plus many independent labs around the world, as well as from first-person episodes of many kinds and from many sources. New cross-domain explorations and new insights propel readers into much higher levels of creativity, innovation, rapid learning, social problem solving, curiosity, and life balance. The Dynamic Tricky Mix perspective in most contexts helps shake up and improve paths toward solutions. In times of crisis, as in the Covid-19 pandemic, it becomes especially important to bring this kind of thinking to bear.
