THE NORFIELD KILLER

By: Edward Slingland

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

No one in the sleepy little New England town of Norfield knew that serial killer, Luthor Carlsen, was on the bus that crashed on Route Ninety One - least of all, Suburbanite reporter Linda Halsey, who fell in love with him while covering the story. Carlsen murdered thirteen women and wrote about them while working as an investigative reporter for a daily newspaper. His escape from Crestview State Hospital's H-wing, for the criminally insane, stunned the police and hospital staff, who were sure he'd died from a heart attack. In fact, he'd orchestrated a brilliant escape while murdering morgue attendant, Thomas Hawthorne, and assumed his identity, leaving his body in a cheap wooden coffin meant for him.

Sherman's March in Myth and Memory

By: Edward Caudill,Paul Ashdown

General William Tecumseh Sherman's devastating "March to the Sea" in 1864 burned a swath through the cities and countryside of Georgia and into the history of the American Civil War. As they moved from Atlanta to Savannah—destroying homes, buildings, and crops; killing livestock; and consuming supplies—Sherman and the Union army ignited not only southern property, but also imaginations, in both the North and the South. By the time of the general's death in 1891, when one said "The March," no explanation was required. That remains true today. Legends and myths about Sherman began forming during the March itself, and took more definitive shape in the industrial age in the late-nineteenth century. Sherman's March in Myth and Memory examines the emergence of various myths surrounding one of the most enduring campaigns in the annals of military history. Edward Caudill and Paul Ashdown provide a brief overview of Sherman's life and his March, but their focus is on how these myths came about—such as one description of a "60-mile wide path of destruction"—and how legends about Sherman and his campaign have served a variety of interests. Caudill and Ashdown argue that these myths have been employed by groups as disparate as those endorsing the Old South aristocracy and its "Lost Cause," and by others who saw the March as evidence of the superiority of industrialism in modern America over a retreating agrarianism. Sherman's March in Myth and Memory looks at the general's treatment in the press, among historians, on stage and screen, and in literature, from the time of the March to the present day. The authors show us the many ways in which Sherman has been portrayed in the media and popular culture, and how his devastating March has been stamped into our collective memory.

Fort Niagara

The British Occupation 1759–1796

By: Patricia Kay Scott,William Edward Utley

Fort Niagara is located at the northern mouth of the Niagara River about twelve miles from Niagara Falls. This scenic river and world-famous tourist area, which is now shared by the United States and Canada, was Iroquois territory in the 18th century being fought over by France and England. Fort Niagara: The British Occupation 1759–1796 dramatically portrays how the British Army took Fort Niagara from the French and Indians in 1759 and held it for thirty-seven years while Indian, French, British, and American warriors and diplomates vied for control of the Niagara River and its portage route into the Great Lake. If the men who garrisoned Fort Niagara joined up to “see the world,” they probably didn’t anticipate being stationed at this isolated frontier post. It is doubtful that few, if any, of the thousands who served at Fort Niagara recalled their time there as the best part of their military life, even as one British officer wrote home that it wasn’t as bad as he had expected. Some died at the fort, in raids out of the fort, or by accidents in the icy cold and volatile waters of the Great Lakes. Others, thinking they were on their way home for a welcomed leave, were unexpectedly rerouted to Boston in 1775 and fought in the battles of Lexington and Concord, Bunker Hill, and other famous battles of the Revolution. This second book about Fort Niagara by Patricia Kay Scott and William E. Utley carries on the history presented in Fort Niagara, the Key to the Indian Oceans and the French Movement to Dominate North America, published in 2019.

The Politics of Dispossession

The Struggle for Palestinian Self-Determination, 1969-1994

By: Edward W. Said

Author of the groundbreaking The Question of Palestine, Edward Said has been America's most outspoken advocate for Palestinian self-determination. As these collected essays amply prove, he is also our most intelligent and bracingly heretical writer on affairs involving not only Palestinians but also the Arab and Muslim worlds and their tortuous relations with the West. "Solidly imbued with historical context and geopolitical conjecture...fresh, unpredictable, personal and incorruptible writing."—Boston Globe In The Politics of Dispossession, Said traces his people's struggle for statehood through twenty-five years of exile, from the PLO's bloody 1970 exile from Jordan through the debacle of the Gulf War and the ambiguous 1994 peace accord with Israel. As frank as he is about his personal involvement in that struggle, Said is equally unsparing in his demolition of Arab icons and American shibboleths. Stylish, impassioned, and informed by a magisterial knowledge of history and literature, The Politics of Dispossession is a masterly synthesis of scholarship and polemic that has the power to redefine the debate over the Middle East.

Airline Scams and Scandals

By: Edward Pinnegar

It is surprising how little has been written about some of the more surprising inner workings of the aviation industry. This hilarious collection of stories seeks to address that and presents the pick of many scandals and scams to have plagued the aviation industry (but amused everyone else!). It includes the Zambian man who attempted to beat world superpowers in the Space Race with the help of a fifteen-year-old girl and a 40-gallon oil drum; the Middlesbrough man who wanted to restart flights from Durham to London and believed his proposed airline was ‘backed by God’ – apparently it wasn’t as he was jailed shortly afterwards for fraud; skydiving smugglers and their novel way of trafficking cocaine; and an account of the only unsolved US airline hijacking in history. So whether you’re after a funny story, some aviation anecdotes or just love having a laugh at blatant blockheads, this book is for you.

From Rat-Tail Ridge to Capital Hill and Back

The Life Journey of Robert Edward Fulton and His Partner, Norma Maxine Heitman Fulton

By: Robert Edward Fulton

“From Rat-Tail Ridge To Capitol Hill And Back” is an autobiography written by Robert Edward (Bob) Fulton before his passing in 2018. It’s the story of a man born during the Great Depression into a poor and hard-working family of Middle American farmers, who became a public school teacher at the age of 16, served in the Army, and was the first in his family to graduate from college. He went on to obtain advanced degrees in law and public administration, to serve in the highest levels of government, and to become one of the country’s leading experts on government programs for alleviating poverty. Bob’s own journey was a reflection of the hope that he tried to bring to others — that when opportunity is made available to people of personal integrity and industry, good things can grow, just as life can spring up from the unforgiving soil of a farm on Rat-Tail Ridge. Bob’s own journey was deeply shaped by the experiences of those who went before him; “From Rat-Tail Ridge To Capitol Hill And Back” thus also tells the story of his ancestry. As with many Americans, the family story began with migration from another continent in search of a better life — in his family’s case, from Europe in the 1700s. It’s the classic pioneers’ tale, moving from parts east to the land west of the Mississippi in a persevering struggle to cobble together a workable life in a new land. “From Rat-Tail Ridge To Capitol Hill And Back” at once rings both familiar and remarkable, providing common refrains of the American experience while also reminding that principle, basic decency, and commitment to community are the magic stuff of life.
