Sinopse

Clumsy Criminals explores the surprisingly common phenomenon of criminal incompetence through a series of true crime case studies. It examines how flawed planning, poor decision-making under duress, and simple bad luck can lead to spectacular failures, even when success seems within reach. The book highlights that even meticulously planned crimes can unravel due to unforeseen circumstances or human error. For example, a criminal might be undone by a simple slip-up or a completely unexpected event, showcasing the unpredictability inherent in criminal activity.

 
The book analyzes these failed crimes using concepts from forensic psychology and situational crime prevention, offering insights into why criminals make the choices they do. It progresses by first establishing a theoretical framework, then delving into specific cases that illustrate the interplay of flawed planning and irrational decisions.

 
By focusing on non-violent offenses, Clumsy Criminals provides a unique and often humorous perspective on the fallibility of those who break the law, appealing to true crime enthusiasts interested in the human side of crime. The ultimate aim is to understand how these failures can inform better crime prevention strategies.

    Summons to Berlin - Nazi Theft...

    On his deathbed, Dr. Joanne Intrator's father poses two unsettling questions: 
     
     
     
    "Are you tough enough? Do they know who you are?" 
     
     
     
    Joanne soon realizes that these haunting questions relate to a center-city Berlin building at 16 Wallstrasse that the Nazis ripped away from her family in 1938. But a decade is to pass before she will fully come to grasp why her father threw down the gauntlet as he did. 
     
     
     
    Repeatedly, Joanne's restitution quest brings her into confrontation with yet another of her profound fears surrounding Germany and the Holocaust. Having to call on reserves of strength she's unsure she possesses, the author leans into her professional command of psychiatry, often overcoming flabbergasting obstacles perniciously dumped in her path. 
     
     
     
    The depth and lucidity of psychological insight threaded throughout Summons to Berlin makes it an attention-grabbing standout among books on like topics. As a listener, you'll come away delighted to know just who Dr. Joanne Intrator is. You'll also finish the book cheering for her, because in the end, she proves far more than tough enough to satisfy her father's unnerving final demands.

    Body Horror - Capitalism Fear...

    Whether for entertainment, under the guise of medicine, or to propel consumerism, heinous acts are perpetrated daily on women’s bodies. In Body Horror: Capitalism, Fear, Misogyny, Jokes, award-winning journalist Anne Elizabeth Moore catalogs the global toll of capitalism on our physical autonomy. Weaving together unflinching research and surprising humor, these essays range from investigative—probing the Cambodian garment industry, the history of menstrual products, or the gender biases of patent law—to uncomfortably intimate. Informed by her own navigation of several autoimmune diagnoses, Moore examines what it takes to seek care and community in the increasingly complicated, problematic, and disinterested US healthcare system. 
     
    A Lambda Literary Award finalist and a Chicago Review of Books Nonfiction Award shortlist title, Body Horror is “sharp, shocking, and darkly funny. . . . Brainy and historically informed, this collection is less a rallying cry or a bitter diatribe than a series of irreverent and ruthlessly accurate jabs at a culture that is slowly devouring us” (Publishers Weekly, starred review). Featuring an updated introduction and new essays, as well as illustrations by Xander Marro, this new edition of Body Horror is a fascinating, insightful portrait of the gore that encapsulates contemporary American politics.

    You may have heard of Lourdes, a town in France where millions of people go every year, either as a tourist to take pictures or see what the hype is all about, or real believers who think that the town has a sanctity to it and can somehow cure them, help them, or inspire them through divine means. Whatever the reason for the many visitors is, it is undeniably an interesting historical heritage, something worth exploring. 
    To be precise, Lourdes is a small market town nestled in the Pyrenees' foothills. It is in the Occitanie area of southern France and is a part of the Hautes-Pyrénées department. Prior to the mid-nineteenth century, the town was well-known for the Château fort de Lourdes, a prepared castle set down atop a rocky cliff in the town's heart. 
    Today, I invite you to explore the background and historicity of this town with me, to form your own opinion, and to be open-minded to the story beneath the surface, buried in the past and brought to light in the many narratives the presenters at the site tell. Perhaps you will have the opportunity to visit it sometime yourself, and if or when you do, you will be equipped with more knowledge than the majority of the visitors. Perhaps that way, it will touch you more.

    Teachers play a vital role in the physical, emotional, and academic well-being of students with epilepsy. Teachers who know how to respond to seizures improve safety standards in the school and influence the reactions of fellow students and school staff. A teacher who reacts to seizures calmly and supportively will help others learn to do the same. In some cases, teachers are the first to notice and recognize the symptoms of seizures in a student. Teachers who understand, encourage, and inspire students with epilepsy facilitate learning, independence, and self-esteem.
