Fraser C: Murderland

Murderland

Crime and Bloodlust in the Time of Serial Killers

Jewish Lives

The first biography in more than three decades of the Austrian-born thinker Ludwig Wittgenstein, one of the most influential philosophers of the twentieth century &nbsp; According to the philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889–1951), philosophy is a “battle against the bewitchment of our intelligence by means of language.” This audacious idea changed the way many of its practitioners saw their subject. In the first biography of Wittgenstein in more than three decades, Anthony Gottlieb evaluates this revolutionary idea, explaining the evolution of Wittgenstein’s thought and his place in the history of philosophy. &nbsp; Wittgenstein was born into an immensely rich Viennese family but yearned to live a simple life, and he gave away his inheritance. After studying with Bertrand Russell in Cambridge, he wrote his famous Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus while serving in World War I. He then took several positions as a primary-school teacher in rural Austria before returning as a fellow to Cambridge, where a cultlike following developed around him. Wittgenstein worked not only as a philosopher and schoolteacher, but also as an aeronautical engineer in Manchester and as an architect in Vienna. &nbsp; Gottlieb’s meticulously researched book traces the itinerant and troubled life of Wittgenstein, the development of his influential ideas, and the Viennese intellectual milieu and family background that shaped him.

Philosophy in the Age of Airplanes

Ludwig Wittgenstein

Was steckt hinter dem Tod einer jungen Kadettin auf der »Gorch Fock«? Warum wurde ein altes Ehepaar auf Sizilien so heimtückisch ermordet? Spurlos verschwand ein 13-jähriges Mädchen auf dem Weg zur Schule - es gibt zahlreiche Verdächtige, doch was geschah wirklich? In einer Käserei wird die Buchhalterin erstochen: War es die Tat eines Stalkers? Und warum wird ein Junge bereits als Kind zum Gewalttäter und später zum Mörder?
 
 Axel Petermann widmet sich fünf spektakulären Fällen und liefert erstaunliche neue Erkenntnisse. Seine Ermittlungen zeigen: Häufig werden Fälle vorschnell zu den Akten gelegt. Ein ganz besonderes Augenmerk legt er diesmal auf die Psyche der Täter. Was macht Menschen zu Mördern - und wie wählen sie ihre Opfer aus? Der renommierte Kriminalist blickt in menschliche Abgründe und kommt mit den Methoden des Profiling den Verbrechern auf die Spur. Spannender als ein Krimi und beängstigend wahr.

A revealing biography of one of the twentieth century’s most influential writers &nbsp; Philip Roth (1933–2018) is one of the most celebrated American writers of his age. Born in Newark, New Jersey—where his short stories and thirty-one books were often set—he wrote with immense ambition and drive, along with a keen awareness of what must be done to produce great literature. Yet despite rubbing shoulders with the Kennedys and engaging in a spate of famous and infamous romances, he viewed himself as socially withdrawn, living much like an “unchaste monk” (his words). &nbsp; In this original and lucid biography, Steven J. Zipperstein captures Roth’s complex life and the astonishing range of his self-reflective writings—from “Goodbye, Columbus” and Portnoy’s Complaint to the Pulitzer Prize–winning American Pastoral and The Plot Against America. Employing extensive archival research and well over one hundred interviews, including conversations with Roth himself, Zipperstein provides an intimate and probing look at one of the twentieth century’s most influential authors, placing his work in the context of Jewishness, freedom, and sexuality in America.

Stung by Life

Philip Roth

An extraordinary exposé of the industry flooding our world with plastic—and now ramping up to make more than ever Plastic, the foundational material of modern consumerism, is everywhere in our daily lives. But the companies making it—oil and petrochemical giants like ExxonMobil and Dow—are hiding in plain sight. Because for all the vivid coverage of where plastic ends up, there is remarkably little discussion of where it comes from. Today, industry is pouring billions of dollars into plans to double, or even triple, the amount it churns out, even as individuals concerned about plastic’s out-of-control proliferation try to use less. As Big Oil stares down a future of diminishing demand for fossil fuels, plastic has become its financial lifeline. Award-winning journalist Beth Gardiner gives readers an up-close look at the plastic industry’s relentless growth, its extraordinary profits, its toxic pollution and its hidden role in exacerbating climate change. Every chapter in Plastic Inc. brings new revelations, including: <ul><li>How Big Oil sold us the lie that recycling was the panacea for our plastic worries, even though companies always knew it couldn’t work at scale</li></ul><ul><li>The hidden health crisis caused by chemicals in the items we use every day, and scientists’ growing fear that microplastics may pose even bigger dangers</li></ul><ul><li>How the industries making and using plastic have wielded political muscle to stop bans on single-use items like plastic bags, while blaming us for the global mess they’ve created—and profited from</li></ul><ul><li>That Big Oil’s plastic dreams spring directly from decades of denying climate science, and draw on the playbook of deceit this industry wrote—one later borrowed by tobacco and pharma companies</li></ul><ul><li>The characters and personalities behind a hidden corporate and political scandal perpetuated over decades</li></ul> Plastic Inc.’s gripping stories will reframe for readers a problem many of us think we understand, but which has deeper roots, and greater dangers, than we know.
