Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 When Eleanor Louise Cowell, who would become a serial killer, was pregnant in 1946, she went to the Elizabeth Lund Home for Unwed Mothers in Vermont. She had a baby with a man who said he was a veteran of World War II and a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania. But when she tried to find him, he disappeared. #2 The family was secretive about the story of Ted’s conception. His grandparents told some people that they had adopted a baby, but Teddy’s great-aunt Virginia Bristol was skeptical. #3 The stories related by Louise’s sisters and relatives have a gothic quality. They say that Samuel was a tyrant, and that he had a stash of pornography that the young Teddy must have seen. He was also cruel to animals. #4 The author’s father was a serial killer, and his mother never told him about it. He learned about it from a psychologist who was studying death row inmates in Florida. He concluded that Ted lacked any core experience of care and nurturance or early emotional sustenance.

How can his school in the little town of Plattsford stay open next year if there are going to be only five students? Out here on the Great Plains in western Nebraska, everyone understands that if you lose the school, you lose the town. But the mystery that has Ted's full attention at the moment is about that face, the face he sees in the upper window of the Andersons' house as he rides past on his paper route.

Download or read book Visual Intelligence written by Amy E. Herman and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2016-05-03 with total page 341 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An engrossing guide to seeing—and communicating—more clearly from the groundbreaking course that helps FBI agents, cops, CEOs, ER docs, and others save money, reputations, and lives. How could looking at Monet’s water lily paintings help save your company millions? How can checking out people’s footwear foil a terrorist attack? How can your choice of adjective win an argument, calm your kid, or catch a thief? In her celebrated seminar, the Art of Perception, art historian Amy Herman has trained experts from many fields how to perceive and communicate better. By showing people how to look closely at images, she helps them hone their “visual intelligence,” a set of skills we all possess but few of us know how to use properly. She has spent more than a decade teaching doctors to observe patients instead of their charts, helping police officers separate facts from opinions when investigating a crime, and training professionals from the FBI, the State Department, Fortune 500 companies, and the military to recognize the most pertinent and useful information. Her lessons highlight far more than the physical objects you may be missing; they teach you how to recognize the talents, opportunities, and dangers that surround you every day. Whether you want to be more effective on the job, more empathetic toward your loved ones, or more alert to the trove of possibilities and threats all around us, this book will show you how to see what matters most to you more clearly than ever before. Please note: this ebook contains full-color art reproductions and photographs, and color is at times essential to the observation and analysis skills discussed in the text. For the best reading experience, this ebook should be viewed on a color device.

Download or read book Get Carter written by Ted Lewis and published by Soho Press. This book was released on 2014-09-09 with total page 27 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Famously adapted into the iconic film starring Michael Caine, Get Carter—originally published as Jack’s Return Home—ranks among the most canonical of crime novels. With a special Foreword by Mike Hodges, director of Get Carter It’s a rainy night in the mill town of Scunthorpe when a London fixer named Jack Carter steps off a northbound train. He’s left the neon lights and mod lifestyle of Soho behind to come north to his hometown for a funeral—his brother Frank’s. Frank was very drunk when he drove his car off a cliff and that doesn’t sit well with Jack. Mild-mannered Frank never touched the stuff. Jack and Frank didn’t exactly like one another. They hadn’t spoken in years and Jack is far from the sentimental type. So it takes more than a few people by surprise when Jack starts plying his trade in order to get to the bottom of his brother’s death. Then again, Frank’s last name was Carter, and that’s Jack’s name too. Sometimes that’s enough. Set in the late 1960s amidst the smokestacks and hardcases of the industrial north of England, Get Carter redefined British crime fiction and cinema alike. Along with the other two novels in the Jack Carter Trilogy, it is one of the most important crime novels of all time.
