American Ripper is the true story of Gerard John Schaefer, a Florida law enforcement officer who was a prolific serial killer in the late 1960s early 1970s. The decade that was thought to be filled with love, peace, and happiness became a new dark age, breeding more serial killers than any other time in US history including Charles Manson, the Zodiac Killer, the Son of Sam, John Wayne Gacy, and Ted Bundy, who was held in the same prison as Schaefer and whom he both idolized and resented for the recognition his crimes brought him, a recognition Schaefer never received.

Profile-based identity is evident everywhere from pop culture to politics, marketing to morality. This book argues that the profile marks an epochal shift in our concept of identity and demonstrates why that matters. You and Your Profile blends social theory, philosophy, and cultural critique to unfold an exploration of the way we have come to experience the world.

Kennedy and Kim Walsh Phillips are here to tell it like it is: If you're not focusing on converting social media traffic into sales, you might as well set your money on fire.

This volume, a collection of 11 original essays by many of the foremost US military historians, focuses on the transition of the army from parade ground to battleground in each of nine wars the United States has fought.

The concluding essay sets out to synthesize the findings and to discover whether or not American first battles manifest a characteristic "rhythm".

Jack Monroe had very few paths before him. In 3263 you could either choose to work the mines, extracting raw materials for shipment to Luna, or take a menial job maintaining the atmosphere of Earth. Not satisfied with either, Jack chose to enlist in the AHF to protect those he loves and find his purpose in life. Should he successfully complete the first year of training, he will have become something he never would have dreamed of–a leader and a killer.

A lawless frontier. A corrupt Senate. Two Rangers stand between peace and a corporate takeover. In the far reaches of the Steele Empire, corporations are buying influence, hiring private armies, and rewriting the law to suit their interests.

They hatch a daring escape plan, involving sympathetic locals who aren’t as docile as their militia overlords thought. Up north, Mac comes to grips with what he’s done, what’s happening around him, and what will likely happen next. He begins construction of a last-ditch retreat cabin that may well prove pivotal to his - and the Cantrells' - survival.

Capitalism v. Democracy offers the key to understanding why corporations are now citizens, money is political speech, limits on corporate spending are a form of censorship, democracy is a free market, and political equality and democratic integrity are unconstitutional constraints on money in politics. Supreme Court opinions have dictated these conditions in the name of the Constitution, as though the Constitution itself required the privatization of democracy.

With the possible exception of the expatriate writers living in Paris in the 1920s, no single group of American literary figures has achieved as much fame or notoriety as the New York sophisticates who met to match wits and attempt to outshine each other as members of what came to be called the Algonquin Round Table. The humorists Robert Benchley and S. J. Perelman, playwrights Marc Connelly and George S. Kaufman, novelists Edna Ferber and Alexander Woollcott, and most famously, Dorothy Parker, were the literary luminaries who made up this group....

Becca Gallagher was taking her new job as co-manager of the Red Door Café and part-time bartender at the Ambrose Tavern seriously. Even if it meant she was working so much, there was hardly time to breathe. She was used to working hard. She’d been working at her cousin’s restaurant since she was sixteen. And she loved the fact Paxton trusted her to fill in for him at the bar. She’d breathe later, in a year or two, when things settled down.

But when the Ranger Corps assigns him a new partner, his solitary way of doing the job comes to an abrupt end.
