How she caught the attention of my other passengers - all high-octane tech types - only became clear after somebody tried to kill me - for the third time. From patent trolls and VC's, to the FBI and the Red Chinese, everyone's in a bloody hurry to get their hands on the next big thing.

Book excerpt: Everyone in 1920s London knows the Honourable Cressida Fawcett: fiercely independent (though never apart from her little pug Ruby), lover of martinis and interior designer extraordinaire. She’s solved many crimes of fashion… so how about murder? Cressida Fawcett is heading to the English countryside for a weekend of cocktails and partying at her friend’s glamorous mansion, the location of a recent diamond heist. But just hours after her arrival, Cressida is woken by an almighty scream. Rushing to the landing, she looks down into the great hall to find a trembling maid standing next to the body of Harry, the friendly young chandelier cleaner. Everyone believes Harry’s death was an accident. But as Cressida examines the opulent hall and the beautiful grounds, she thinks something darker is afoot. Why clean a chandelier in the early hours of the morning? And who overheard Harry boasting about coming into unexpected wealth? A small piece of torn silk found near the body has Cressida looking at the guests’ elegant clothes with fresh eyes… The short-tempered Detective insists that she keeps her curious nose out of the investigation, but it’s Cressida who realises the stolen diamonds were hidden in the sparkling chandelier. Convinced there is a connection between the theft and the murder, the case takes a sinister turn when a guest is killed in his sleep after a brandy-fuelled night of cards. With everyone unable to leave, can Cressida’s sharp eye for detail catch the killer before another life is taken?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the Progressive Era, baseball has been promoted as an institution encapsulating the best of American values and capable of bridging the chasms of twentieth century American culture--urban versus rural, industry versus agriculture, individual versus community, immigrant versus native, white versus color. Among the more enthusiastic of the game's proponents have been American filmmakers, and baseball films present perhaps the purest depiction of baseball's vision of an idealized America. This critical study treats baseball cinema as a film genre and explores the functions of baseball ideology as it is represented in that genre. It focuses on how Hollywood's presentation of baseball has served not only to promote dominant values, but also to bridge cultural conflicts. Commentary on 85 films deals with issues of race, community, gambling, players, women, and owners. Instructors considering this book for use in a course may request an examination copy here.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Diamond at Your Rock Bottom: Turning Adversity into Triumph In this transformative debut, Dr. Bolu Oladini, a dynamic pharmaceutical executive and serial entrepreneur, extends a compelling invitation to young adults in their 20s and 30s. Drawing from a rich tapestry of wisdom that blends stoicism, Zen, modern psychology, and Christianity, Dr. Oladini guides readers through a comprehensive framework to use personal and professional adversity as stepping stones to self-transformation through post-traumatic growth. His unique approach encourages readers who have gone through traumatic experiences (“rock bottom”) to use the aftermath of the crisis to re-assess and re-create themselves into the best version of themselves (a “diamond”). Dr. Oladini employs the powerful metaphor of a diamond—crafted under pressure from rough coal—to illustrate the potential for beauty and success from life's hardest moments. This book will flip your perspective, revealing that rock bottom is not a pit of despair, but a launching pad for finding your true potential. The journey laid out in Diamond at Your Rock Bottom is not about merely surviving challenges, but transforming them into catalysts for profound personal growth. His unique model breaks down the path to post-traumatic growth. Dr. Oladini’s book takes readers on a journey with his methodical framework that includes insightful and often counterintuitive ideas in chapters discussing failure, acceptance, identity, values, habits, relationships, intuition, and courage. With a wide variety of stories and examples to drive home his points, Oladini shows us the common threads in people and companies who are able to overcome and transcend adversity. As he states in the first chapter, “The pressure that will form your diamond is your journey of self-discovery, personal growth, and spiritual awakening after reaching rock bottom.” Similar to how coal can turn into a diamond after undergoing thousands of pounds of pressure, this book is a guide to show the reader how to create and uncover their own diamond. Readers will leave with a sense of renewed hope, energy, and insight. Go to www.boluoladini.com today to find out more and get your copy. Dr. Bolu Oladini is a pharmacist by training and a pharmaceutical industry executive. He is also a serial entrepreneur with a profitable short-term rental business, a real estate syndication group, and a successful career coaching business. With his background in psychology and a life filled with overcoming personal challenges, Dr. Oladini is passionately equipped to inspire others to use their adversity as a catalyst for personal transformation. He, his wife, and their son reside in the suburbs of Chicago, Illinois, where he continues to share his journey and support others in crafting their own stories of success.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A true crime history of wrongful arrest, obsessive revenge, and an infamous murder in New Orleans at the turn of the 20th century. In July of 1903, the newly elected District Attorney J. Ward Gurley was shot to death in his office by a former client. After killing Gurley, Lewis Lyons turned his gun on himself. When his suicide attempt failed, Lyons became the subject of an explosive murder trial and sentenced to death. Once a hardworking family man, Lyons’ downward spiral began years before, when he was wrongly arrested for the theft of a diamond shirt stud. Death Over a Diamond Stud recounts the gripping true story of the first judicial murder of the 20th century. Gurley’s murder sent shock waves through New Orleans not only because of the brutal and brazen nature of the killing, but because the suspect’s name had previously been in the city newspapers. Author Christopher G. Peña vividly recounts Lyons’ journey from innocent man to the cold-blooded killer of his own attorney.
