This book was released on 2013-02 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More women are now dying of cardiovascular disease than men. And with the baby boomer generation getting older, we're at the forefront of a real crisis in women's health. More women are now dying of cardiovascular disease than are dying of all forms of cancer combined. Written with the depth of a seasoned expert in her field, WHY MOST WOMEN DIE has the layman in mind. A person with zero knowledge of the cardiovascular system could read and quickly obtain practical, preventive health information-life saving information. WHY MOST WOMEN DIE is full of preventive advice for women who have heart disease, (maybe even recovering from a heart attack), women who are at risk of heart disease, or for women who are healthy and just want to stay that way. The book addresses questions about diet, exercise, medications, risk factors, symptoms, other heart problems besides heart disease, even questions about sex and alcohol as they relate to heart health. Awareness first-only 13% of women recognize heart disease as their most serious threat. The second aim of the book is prevention. Heart disease is a danger, but it's a danger that can be overcome.

Book excerpt: In 1994, after two elderly women were found brutally murdered, it didn't take long for the police to catch the killer. Acting on a tip, they followed a woman who appeared to be doing some routine shopping. When they saw all of the shopping bags in the trunk of the Cadillac, they knew they had found the killer on one of her post murder shopping sprees. After arresting Dana, they inspected her house & found collections of stolen credit cards, a thousand-dollar mountain bike, unopened bottles of Opium perfume, racks & racks of clothes-one officer commented that is looked like Bullocks' department store. Dana Sue Gray is unique as one of the few documented female serial killers-her targets were strangers, her attacks were brutal ...& her fashion sense couldn't be beat. Impeccably dressed, meticulously neat, Dana Sue Gray spared no expense on herself. Dropping thousands of dollars on a shopping binge or a luxurious day spa were nothing out of the ordinary for Dana-nor for many wealthy women. But Dana wasn't wealthy-she was an unemployed, alcoholic nurse. She was also a serial murderess, who preyed upon elderly women, violently killed them, then used their credit cards to embark on wild, post-murder spending sprees. "I was so consumed..." Women serial killers are rare-there are only 36 documented cases-and those, like Dana Sue Gray, who murder so brutally that veteran police officers are shaken by the bloodiness of the crime scene, are even rarer. Now in an exposeacute; as shocking and fascinating as its subject matter, author Kathy Braidhill explores the stunning story of Dana Sue Gray, one of the most dangerous, deadly, and disturbed women in history. "I wanted her to die." Presents the shocking account of Dana Sue Gray, an unemployed alcoholic nurse and serial killer, who preyed on elderly women, brutally killing them and using their credit cards on wild, post-crime spending and shopping sprees.

Download or read book Serial Killers written by Francesca Biagi-Chai and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-03-01 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Francesca Biagi-Chai’s book - a translation from the French of Le Cas Landru - tackles the issue of criminal responsibility in the case of serial killers, and other 'mad' people who are nonetheless deemed to be answerable before the law. The author, a Lacanian psychoanalyst and senior psychiatrist in France, with extensive experience working in institutional settings, analyses the logic informing the crimes of famous serial killers. Addressing the Landru case (which was the inspiration for Chaplin's Monsieur Verdoux), as well as those of Pierre Rivière and Donato Bilancia, Biagi-Chai casts light on the confusion that pervades forensic psychiatry and criminal law as to the distinction between mental illness and ‘madness’. She then elaborates the consequences of her argument in a sustained critique of the insanity defence. The book includes a Foreword by the renowned psychoanalyst, Jacques-Alain Miller, and an introduction by the translators on the question of insanity before the law in the US and in the UK, which considers the pertinence of Biagi-Chai’s argument for forensic psychiatry, for criminal law, and for the increasing contemporary focus on the assessment of dangerousness and risk-management strategies in crime control practices.
Download or read book Female Serial Killers written by Peter Vronsky and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2007-08-07 with total page 496 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this fascinating book, Peter Vronsky exposes and investigates the phenomenon of women who kill—and the political, economic, social and sexual implications buried with each victim. How many of us are even remotely prepared to imagine our mothers, daughters, sisters or grandmothers as fiendish killers? For centuries we have been conditioned to think of serial murderers and psychopathic predators as men—with women registering low on our paranoia radar. Perhaps that’s why so many trusting husbands, lovers, family friends, and children have fallen prey to “the female monster.” From history’s earliest recorded cases of homicidal females to Irma Grese, the Nazi Beast of Belsen, from Britain’s notorious child-slayer Myra Hindley to ‘Honeymoon Killer’ Martha Beck to the sensational cult of Aileen Wournos—the first female serial killer-as-celebrity—to cult killers, homicidal missionaries, and our pop-culture fascination with the sexy femme fatale, Vronsky not only challenges our ordinary standards of good and evil but also defies our basic accepted perceptions of gender role and identity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From New York Times bestselling author Pete Earley—the strange but true story of how a young man’s devastating brain injury gave him the unique ability to connect with the world’s most terrifying criminals. Fifteen-year-old Tony Ciaglia had everything a teenager could want until he suffered a horrific head injury at summer camp. When he emerged from a coma, his right side was paralyzed, he had to relearn how to walk and talk, and he needed countless pills to control his emotions. Abandoned and shunned by his friends, he began writing to serial killers on a whim and discovered that the same traumatic brain injury that made him an outcast to his peers now enabled him to connect emotionally with notorious murderers. Soon many of America’s most dangerous psychopaths were revealing to him heinous details about their crimes—even those they’d never been convicted of. Tony despaired as he found himself inescapably drawn into their violent worlds of murder, rape, and torture—until he found a way to use his gift. Asked by investigators from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children to aid in solving a murder, Tony launched his own searches for forgotten victims with clues provided by the killers themselves. The Serial Killer Whisperer takes readers into the minds of murderers like never before, but it also tells the inspiring tale of a struggling American family and a tormented young man who found healing and closure in the most unlikely way—by connecting with monsters.
