Book excerpt: Breaking the Zodiac Killer Ciphers and Codes presents the mathematical solutions to the Zodiac Killer's ciphers. For the first time, the exact messages contained in these ciphers are revealed. The cipher solutions lead to the identification of the four people involved in the Zodiac group. Photographic evidence places the two men in the group at the funeral of Zodiac victim Cheri Jo Bates in 1966. Further unraveling of the Zodiac ciphers embedded in each of the letters and the Car Door cipher lead to the discovery of the Zodiac group's grand plan. This plan describes how the dates and locations of the attacks were chosen to form a hidden code that predicted the last murder in the series. Learn how the Zodiac group evolved over time and what brought their unbridled depravity to an end, all in their own words. Gary Kirschenheuter is a retired research chemist. He holds a B.A. in psychology from Loyola University in New Orleans and a Ph.D. in organic chemistry from the University of New Orleans. He resides in Arvada, Colorado, with his family and remains active in his scientific pursuits.

These riddles have eluded the best cryptographers, but, with time, new tools, and a little luck, the eight codes will someday be cracked.

Download or read book The Zodiac Atlas written by R.S. Clemons and published by Barnes & Noble. This book was released on 2019-09-12 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a shorter, more abbreviated, and cheaper version of my first book, 'The Zodiac Killer Enigma; Cracking the Zodiac Killer Code'. This is not a book about the Zodiac Killer. Hundreds of books, articles, movies, television shows and much more are out there if you want to know about the Zodiac Killer. It is a tale that has been told and retold, written and rewritten, thousands of times. This is something you have never seen before, even if you follow this subject. While the book must cover the basics of the case and introduce new readers to just exactly what a "Zodiac Killer" is, what he did, and the many letters he had written, the bulk of the book is dedicated to something completely new that most have never seen. Zodiac mailed a map to he newspapers and police with one of the many letters he had written. This map was completely blank except for a compass that had been drawn over a place called Mt. Diablo. Zodiac said this map could be used to find an alleged "string of bombs" he had planted beside of a road somewhere waiting for a school bus to go by. He also said this map somehow involved something called "radians". But no one knew how to use a blank map to find marked locations. For over half a century this remained a mystery, until now. A bomb schematic sent by the mad man and puzzle maker turned out to be one of the keys for this map, one of a couple. An overlay key. Using a method that many examples can found in history and is also taught in the military, he created a map overlay disguised as a bomb drawing. When two points on this drawing are aligned with two points on the map, one being the compass, marked locations can be revealed as well as a section of highway marked with a string of bombs. Whether these bombs were real or not is beside the point (but you would think that the world would want an answer to that question) , what the real mystery and importance of these places are is another question entirely. Zodiac was most famous for the codes he created to taunt the police and not the murders he committed. Only one of his codes was ever said to have been solved while several others remain a mystery to this very day. His most famous unsolved code is called the '340 code'' for the 340 symbols that comprise the code in a grid like formation. This book will also delve into the possibility that this code is also an overlay key for this map and it used to find the long sought after "radians" that Zodiac said we would find. Clues and evidence from his letters go to support this very idea. That is for you to decide. Don't believe what I tell you. Believe what I show you. Believe your own eyes. This may be the key that someone uses to solve the mystery once and for all.

Download or read book The Zodiac Killer Map written by R. S. Clemons and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2019-09-05 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do you want to know a secret? A secret that no one else has ever seen, about one of the greatest unsolved mysteries of our time, not to mention history, that is actually real? This book will show you. It's all about a mysterious map. A map created by a serial killer, that once unlocked, reveals the marked locations of bombs, murders, and mystery. It all started in San Francisco in the summer of 1969, when a butcher calling himself "The Zodiac", mailed this map along with a series of codes to police and newspapers. In the decades that followed, FBI, NSA, CIA, every intelligence agency in the country, code breakers around the globe, millions of dollars, and untold man hours and have all went into trying to solve the mystery of these codes and map. All to no avail, until now. The key to it all, lie hidden in a simple sketch the killer had created. A blueprint he claimed to be a bomb, but wasn't a depiction of a bomb at all. In reality, it was one of the keys to the map. A key meant to be overlaid, exposing a section of highway marked by a string of bombs. This was not the only key to the map. There are more. Do you want to know the secret to the Zodiac Map? The secret of the Zodiac Killer Enigma? Of course, you do. Just click on the link and read the book. This print issue features full color images.

Download or read book Blindsight written by Peter Watts and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2006-10-03 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hugo and Shirley Jackson award-winning Peter Watts stands on the cutting edge of hard SF with his acclaimed novel, Blindsight Two months since the stars fell... Two months of silence, while a world held its breath. Now some half-derelict space probe, sparking fitfully past Neptune's orbit, hears a whisper from the edge of the solar system: a faint signal sweeping the cosmos like a lighthouse beam. Whatever's out there isn't talking to us. It's talking to some distant star, perhaps. Or perhaps to something closer, something en route. So who do you send to force introductions with unknown and unknowable alien intellect that doesn't wish to be met? You send a linguist with multiple personalities, her brain surgically partitioned into separate, sentient processing cores. You send a biologist so radically interfaced with machinery that he sees x-rays and tastes ultrasound. You send a pacifist warrior in the faint hope she won't be needed. You send a monster to command them all, an extinct hominid predator once called vampire, recalled from the grave with the voodoo of recombinant genetics and the blood of sociopaths. And you send a synthesist—an informational topologist with half his mind gone—as an interface between here and there. Pray they can be trusted with the fate of a world. They may be more alien than the thing they've been sent to find. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

Download or read book Man and His Symbols written by Carl G. Jung and published by Bantam. This book was released on 2012-02-01 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The landmark text about the inner workings of the unconscious mind—from the symbolism that unlocks the meaning of our dreams to their effect on our waking lives and artistic impulses—featuring more than a hundred images that break down Carl Jung’s revolutionary ideas “What emerges with great clarity from the book is that Jung has done immense service both to psychology as a science and to our general understanding of man in society.”—The Guardian “Our psyche is part of nature, and its enigma is limitless.” Since our inception, humanity has looked to dreams for guidance. But what are they? How can we understand them? And how can we use them to shape our lives? There is perhaps no one more equipped to answer these questions than the legendary psychologist Carl G. Jung. It is in his life’s work that the unconscious mind comes to be understood as an expansive, rich world just as vital and true a part of the mind as the conscious, and it is in our dreams—those personal, integral expressions of our deepest selves—that it communicates itself to us. A seminal text written explicitly for the general reader, Man and His Symbolsis a guide to understanding the symbols in our dreams and using that knowledge to build fuller, more receptive lives. Full of fascinating case studies and examples pulled from philosophy, history, myth, fairy tales, and more, this groundbreaking work—profusely illustrated with hundreds of visual examples—offers invaluable insight into the symbols we dream that demand understanding, why we seek meaning at all, and how these very symbols affect our lives. By illuminating the means to examine our prejudices, interpret psychological meanings, break free of our influences, and recenter our individuality, Man and His Symbols proves to be—decades after its conception—a revelatory, absorbing, and relevant experience.

Download or read book Surprise Kill Vanish written by Annie Jacobsen and published by Little, Brown. This book was released on 2019-05-14 with total page 560 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Pulitzer Prize finalist Annie Jacobsen, the untold USA Today bestselling story of the CIA's secret paramilitary units. Surprise . . . your target. Kill . . . your enemy. Vanish . . . without a trace. When diplomacy fails, and war is unwise, the president calls on the CIA's Special Activities Division, a highly-classified branch of the CIA and the most effective, black operations force in the world. Originally known as the president's guerrilla warfare corps, SAD conducts risky and ruthless operations that have evolved over time to defend America from its enemies. Almost every American president since World War II has asked the CIA to conduct sabotage, subversion and, yes, assassination. With unprecedented access to forty-two men and women who proudly and secretly worked on CIA covert operations from the dawn of the Cold War to the present day, along with declassified documents and deep historical research, Pulitzer Prize finalist Annie Jacobsen unveils -- like never before -- a complex world of individuals working in treacherous environments populated with killers, connivers, and saboteurs. Despite Hollywood notions of off-book operations and external secret hires, covert action is actually one piece in a colossal foreign policy machine. Written with the pacing of a thriller, Surprise, Kill, Vanish brings to vivid life the sheer pandemonium and chaos, as well as the unforgettable human will to survive and the intellectual challenge of not giving up hope that define paramilitary and intelligence work. Jacobsen's exclusive interviews -- with members of the CIA's Senior Intelligence Service (equivalent to the Pentagon's generals), its counterterrorism chiefs, targeting officers, and Special Activities Division's Ground Branch operators who conduct today's close-quarters killing operations around the world -- reveal, for the first time, the enormity of this shocking, controversial, and morally complex terrain. Is the CIA's paramilitary army America's weaponized strength, or a liability to its principled standing in the world? Every operation reported in this book, however unsettling, is legal.

Download or read book The Emperor of All Maladies written by Siddhartha Mukherjee and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2011-08-09 with total page 624 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the Pulitzer Prize and a documentary from Ken Burns on PBS, this New York Times bestseller is “an extraordinary achievement” (The New Yorker)—a magnificent, profoundly humane “biography” of cancer—from its first documented appearances thousands of years ago through the epic battles in the twentieth century to cure, control, and conquer it to a radical new understanding of its essence. Physician, researcher, and award-winning science writer, Siddhartha Mukherjee examines cancer with a cellular biologist’s precision, a historian’s perspective, and a biographer’s passion. The result is an astonishingly lucid and eloquent chronicle of a disease humans have lived with—and perished from—for more than five thousand years. The story of cancer is a story of human ingenuity, resilience, and perseverance, but also of hubris, paternalism, and misperception. Mukherjee recounts centuries of discoveries, setbacks, victories, and deaths, told through the eyes of his predecessors and peers, training their wits against an infinitely resourceful adversary that, just three decades ago, was thought to be easily vanquished in an all-out “war against cancer.” The book reads like a literary thriller with cancer as the protagonist. Riveting, urgent, and surprising, The Emperor of All Maladies provides a fascinating glimpse into the future of cancer treatments. It is an illuminating book that provides hope and clarity to those seeking to demystify cancer.

Download or read book A Thesaurus of English Word Roots written by Horace Gerald Danner and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2014-03-27 with total page 1007 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Horace G. Danner’s A Thesaurus of English Word Roots is a compendium of the most-used word roots of the English language. As Timothy B. Noone notes in his foreword: “Dr. Danner’s book allows you not only to build up your passive English vocabulary, resulting in word recognition knowledge, but also gives you the rudiments for developing your active English vocabulary, making it possible to infer the meaning of words with which you are not yet acquainted. Your knowledge can now expand and will do so exponentially as your awareness of the roots in English words and your corresponding ability to decode unfamiliar words grows apace. This is the beginning of a fine mental linguistic library: so enjoy!” In A Thesaurus of English Word Roots, all word roots are listed alphabetically, along with the Greek or Latin words from which they derive, together with the roots’ original meanings. If the current meaning of an individual root differs from the original meaning, that is listed in a separate column. In the examples column, the words which contain the root are then listed, starting with their prefixes, for example, dysacousia, hyperacousia. These root-starting terms then are followed by terms where the root falls behind the word, e.g., acouesthesia and acoumeter. These words are followed by words where the root falls in the middle or the end, as in such terms as bradyacusia and odynacusis.. In this manner, A Thesaurus of English Word Roots places the word in as many word families as there are elements in the word. This work will interest linguists and philologists and anyone interested in the etymological aspects of English language.
