This book was released on 2018-01-27 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Benjamin Franklin once said nothing in this world is set on stone but two things: death and taxes. Some evade taxpaying, but no one really gets to escape it completely. And the same goes with death. They are the two most inevitable difficulties one can encounter. Its burden is real and whether you are indirectly and directly affected, it has the capacity to bring you down. People die of different causes. When you ask someone how they want to die, many would say, "I want in my sleep. I want to when I am grey and old. I want to die in the time when I can say that I have my life." Of course that is the ideal setting for death; and people do not get to choose who they expire in this world. It happens. Some people are merely crossing the street, totally unaware that a speeding vehicle is oncoming and about to bring them to the grave. Some people find out too late, and they come face-to-face with death just as soon as they discover that they are terminally ill. Some people die too and it's unfortunate because even before they get to actually live, they discover they do not deserve it. In whatever context, death is sad-and then there's murder. Here is a preview of what you'll learn: - The Murder of Black Dahlia - The Splendid Cast of William Desmond Taylor's Murder - The Murder of 6-Year Old JonBenet Ramsey - The Disappearance and Death of Jimmy Hoffa - The Murder of the Grimes Sisters - The Murder of Amber Rene Hagerman - The Unsolved Mystery of Colonel Robert H.

Book excerpt: ★★★★★ Brilliantly presented, exciting, creepy "Highly recommended and one report is creepier than the next." ★★★★★ Strange disappearances of people "A very interesting book, but also creepy to read at the same time. Where did all the people disappear to? ... Many questions! ... Creepy!" ★★★★★ Truly creepy. "All cases show the same patterns, beyond any plausible explanation. There is something that the (sane) human mind cannot comprehend. That makes the whole thing (frighteningly) creepy!!" ★★★★★ Great "Reads well." ★★★★★ It is somehow creepy "Creepy events. What's going on there? [...] Creepy ideas, but well described." ★★★★★ Creepy "A list of creepy missing cases. But they have it in them." ★★★★★ Oppressive and interesting! "This book highlights various Missing 411 cases and their features. It is very good for getting an impression of the topic." People disappear all over the world. Repeatedly. The number of cases reaches into the thousands. But these people don't simply vanish because they want to start a new life, commit suicide, or fall into a hole. They disappear without a trace. The circumstances of their disappearances are often mysterious, sometimes deeply contradictory and illogical. Search dogs find no trail, search teams find no trace of the missing for weeks, and helicopters, even with the latest methods like FLIR, find nothing. Absolutely nothing. No equipment, clothing, signs of a struggle, or evidence of an attack by animals or humans. Just nothing. And when something is found, it's often under completely irrational circumstances. Then, suddenly, some victims reappear. Usually without shoes. Often in places where search teams have already looked many times. Often so far from the location where they disappeared that it is hard or even impossible to imagine how they could have gotten there. Most of them are dead, but without a determinable cause of death. The few who survive usually have no memory of what happened. Some report being cared for by a large dog, a big wolf, or some kind of kangaroo, preventing them from freezing in the cold. In some cases, such a creature has been seen by witnesses. Such beings have also been reported in the mysterious incidents at the so-called 'Skinwalker Ranch.' The list of peculiarities in these cases is even longer. It seems as though something strange is going on. Sometimes the victims' clothes are found neatly folded next to them or a short distance away. Sometimes they wear their clothes inside out or clothing that doesn't belong to them. Sometimes they are found naked, even though winter temperatures prevail, and they would have had to walk kilometers through deep snow and barely passable mountainous forests to get from the place where their clothes were later found to the place where their body was found. Naked and barefoot, they supposedly traveled 20 kilometers through ice and snow, over rugged terrain. Impossible.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a collection of the most unusual and disturbing deaths and disappearances. I have researched thousands of deaths and disappearances before finding the ones that I believe are the most shocking and the most terrifying. What makes them shocking and terrifying? The fact of how powerless the victim was in each situation. Each death and disappearance has a reference below it that you can use for more information. Before going down the list, you should know that some of the deaths that I list here occur after gruesome and extremely violent crimes. If that upsets you, then please do NOT read this book. Furthermore, many of the strange and terrifying disappearances that are listed in this book, happen to children at the hands of some of the most violent human beings to have ever existed. Once again, if that upsets you, then please do NOT read this book.
Download or read book Disappearances and Police Killings in Contemporary Brazil written by Sabrina Villenave and published by . This book was released on 2021-12 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The book offers an interdisciplinary qualitative study of the history of policing in Brazil and its colonial underpinnings, providing theoretical accounts of the relationship between biopolitics, space, and race, and post-colonial/decolonial work on the state, violence, and the production of disposable political subjects. Focused empirically on contemporary (1985-2015) police killings and disappearances in favelas, particularly in Rio de Janeiro, the books argues that the invisibility of this phenomenon is the product of a colonial mindset - one that has persisted throughout Brazil's experience of both dictatorship and re-democratisation and is traceable to the legacies of the Portuguese empire and the plantation system implemented. Analysing the development of the police as a colonial mechanism of social control, Villenave shows how the "war on drugs" reproduces this same colonial logic and renders some, overwhelmingly black, lives disposable and thus vulnerable to unchecked police brutality and death. It will be of interest to students and scholars of international politics and also contributes to critical security studies, postcolonial and de-colonial thought, global politics, the politics of Latin America and political geography"--

Download or read book Lost in the Valley of Death written by Harley Rustad and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2022-01-11 with total page 373 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "By patient accumulation of anecdote and detail, Rustad evolves Shetler’s story into something much more human, and humanly tragic, into a layered inquisition and a reportorial force....suffice it to say Rustad has done what the best storytellers do: tried to track the story to its last twig and then stepped aside." —New York Times Book Review In the vein of Jon Krakauer's Into the Wild, a riveting work of narrative nonfiction centering on the unsolved disappearance of an American backpacker in India—one of at least two dozen tourists who have met a similar fate in the remote and storied Parvati Valley. For centuries, India has enthralled westerners looking for an exotic getaway, a brief immersion in yoga and meditation, or in rare cases, a true pilgrimage to find spiritual revelation. Justin Alexander Shetler, an inveterate traveler trained in wilderness survival, was one such seeker. In his early thirties Justin Alexander Shetler, quit his job at a tech startup and set out on a global journey: across the United States by motorcycle, then down to South America, and on to the Philippines, Thailand, and Nepal, in search of authentic experiences and meaningful encounters, while also documenting his travels on Instagram. His enigmatic character and magnetic personality gained him a devoted following who lived vicariously through his adventures. But the ever restless explorer was driven to pursue ever greater challenges, and greater risks, in what had become a personal quest—his own hero’s journey. In 2016, he made his way to the Parvati Valley, a remote and rugged corner of the Indian Himalayas steeped in mystical tradition yet shrouded in darkness and danger. There, he spent weeks studying under the guidance of a sadhu, an Indian holy man, living and meditating in a cave. At the end of August, accompanied by the sadhu, he set off on a “spiritual journey” to a holy lake—a journey from which he would never return. Lost in the Valley of Death is about one man’s search to find himself, in a country where for many westerners the path to spiritual enlightenment can prove fraught, even treacherous. But it is also a story about all of us and the ways, sometimes extreme, we seek fulfillment in life. Lost in the Valley of Death includes 16 pages of color photographs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While there is a tacit appreciation that freedom from violence will lead to more prosperous relations among peoples, violence continues to be deployed for various political and social ends. Yet the problem of violence still defies neat description, subject to many competing interpretations. Histories of Violence offers an accessible yet compelling examination of the problem of violence as it appears in the corpus of canonical figures – from Hannah Arendt to Frantz Fanon, Michel Foucault to Slavoj Žižek – who continue to influence and inform contemporary political, philosophical, sociological, cultural, and anthropological study. Written by a team of internationally renowned experts, this is an essential interrogation of post-war critical thought as it relates to violence.
