Readers will also find reference materials with the chemical formulations of primer compositions, propellants, and pyrotechnic compositions. The details provided in the book offer a thorough, comprehensive understanding of the constructions of various kinds of cartridges and the features of their functioning when fired from different kinds of weapons.

Constructions of Cartridges

San Diego Rising is the definitive biography of a man whose character was as unyielding as the stone he quarried. Henry G. Fenton's story began on the windswept Iowa prairie with a dying father's mandate to his six-year-old son: "Take care of your mother and sisters." That single promise propelled Fenton through a brief stay in a San Francisco orphanage to the rugged San Pasqual Valley, where he herded hogs while barefoot and learned survival from Kumeyaay mentors.From mule skinner to industrial titan, Fenton outworked his rivals to supply the rock, sand, and gravel that paved modern San Diego. Yet, his legacy transcends the concrete foundations of the city. He was a preservationist ahead of his time, whose insight and deep historical convictions led him to quietly reserve key acreages for future generations of Californians. Some of those locations included Mission Bay, the San Pasqual Valley, and the land that would become the Safari Park.Drawing from a treasure trove of century-old artifacts in a privately held archive, Sandra E. Bonura uncovers a visionary who turned personal grief into public joy through his legendary "Old-Timers" picnics.San Diego Rising is more than a rags-to-riches tale. It is the portrait of a boy who never broke his word and a man who built a city with his heart.

San Diego Rising

Using an aesthetic culture and techniques termed as jihadi cool, terrorist groups have been able to recruit members from around the world, so how do we begin to respond? This book analyzes the rhetorical and ethical dynamics of a culture of jihadi cool/chic, and why these rhetorical and aesthetic techniques have been such a powerful recruitment force for particular transnational terrorist groups. The author uses an evidence-based approach, with frameworks derived from law, politics, philosophy, rhetoric, feminist theory, and communication studies, to examine various attempts to construct counter-narratives to the jihadi cool master narrative. The book closes with an examination of how to begin to respond critically and effectively to the lure of jihadi cool.

La Morgue: Die vergessenen Toten von Paris und die spektakuläre Geburt der modernen Forensik&nbsp;In 'La Morgue' verbindet die britische Historikerin Dr. Catriona Byers fundierte Wissenschafts- und Kulturgeschichte mit historischem True Crime und zeigt, wie das städtische Leichenschauhaus von Paris zwischen 1804 und 1907 zum Schmelztiegel der modernen Kriminologie, Rechtsmedizin und Stadtgesellschaft wurde. Entlang der akribisch rekonstruierten Lebenswege von zwölf Toten entfaltet das Sachbuch ein Panorama des 19. Jahrhunderts - einer Epoche, in der die französische Metropole zwischen Revolutionen, Seuchen und städtebaulicher Radikalisierung das moderne Leben hervorbrachte.Morbides Theater und die Geburtsstunde des True CrimeÜber ein Jahrhundert lang bildete die Pariser Morgue direkt im Schatten von Notre-Dame einen der meistbesuchten öffentlichen Orte Europas. Bis zu 50.000 Schaulustige drängten sich an Spitzentagen vor den bodentiefen Schaufenstern, hinter denen unbekannte Leichen auf zwölf gekühlten Marmortischen zur Schau gestellt wurden. Was von der Polizeipräfektur ursprünglich zur Identifizierung namenloser Toter eingerichtet worden war, entwickelte sich rasch zu einer weltberühmten Touristenattraktion: Fliegende Händler verkauften vor den Toren Waffeln, Kastanien und Eis, während die Morgue in internationalen Reiseführern als makabres Spektakel gelistet wurde. Gleichzeitig begründeten die detaillierten Zeitungsberichte über zerstückelte Leichen und ungeklärte Mordtaten die moderne Faszination am Grauen und den Siegeszug des True-Crime-Genres.Wissenschaft auf dem Seziertisch: Geburtsort der modernen RechtsmedizinHinter den Schauräumen vollzog sich zeitgleich ein revolutionärer epistemischer Wandel:<ul><li>Pionierfeld der Kriminalistik: Führende Gerichtsmediziner wie Alphonse Devergie und Paul Brouardel sowie Kriminologen wie Alexandre Lacassagne nutzten die Toten für bahnbrechende Autopsie- und Toxikologie-Lehrgänge.</li><li>Systematisierung der Identifikation: Alphonse Bertillon entwickelte an den Toten und Inhaftierten der Morgue das weltweit erste standardisierte System polizeilicher Anthropometrie und Post-mortem-Fotografie (Bertillonage).</li><li>Mikrokosmos der Moderne: Die Toten spiegeln die sozialen Brüche der Ära - von Opfern des rasanten Bahnverkehrs über verzweifelte Suizide im Zuge von Urbanisierung und Verelendung bis hin zu Opfern spektakulärer Gewaltverbrechen.</li><li>Muse der Weltliteratur: Das Institut inspirierte Generationen von Schriftstellern und Dichtern, von Edgar Allan Poe, Charles Dickens und Émile Zola bis hin zu Gottfried Benns expressionistischem Zyklus.</li></ul>&nbsp;3 Gründe, dieses Buch zu lesen<ol><li>Verbindung von Makro- und Mikrogeschichte: Byers erzählt die Modernisierung von Paris nicht aus der Perspektive der Herrschenden, sondern anhand vergessener Einzelschicksale, die auf den Marmortischen der Morgue endeten </li><li>Fundierte forensische Fachhistorie: Anschaulich, archivgestützt und ohne Sensationshascherei wird gezeigt, wie Rechtsmedizin, Kriminalanthropologie und Identifikationstechniken im 19.

In ihrer Forschung spezialisierte sie sich auf die Geschichte der Leichenhäuser von Paris und New York im Zeitraum von 1864 bis 1914. Sie wurde von der BBC als 'Next Generation Thinker 2024' nominiert und vermittelt medizinhistorische Themen einem breiten Publikum (u. a. via Instagram unter @heymorguegirl). Catriona Byers lebt in Paris.Für Leser:innen von:<ul><li>Andrea Wulf (Fabelhafte Rebellen)</li><li>David Grann ('Der Untergang der Wager')</li><li>Historischen True-Crime- und Wissenschaftssachbüchern</li></ul>&nbsp;Häufig gestellte Fragen (FAQ)Worum geht es in 'La Morgue' von Catriona Byers?Das Buch rekonstruiert die Geschichte des Pariser Leichenschauhauses zwischen seiner Eröffnung 1804 und der Schließung der öffentlichen Zurschaustellung 1907. Entlang von zwölf ausgewählten Todesfällen analysiert Byers die Morgue als Knotenpunkt von öffentlichem Spektakel, städtischem Wandel und der Entstehung von Kriminologie, Forensik und Rechtsmedizin.Warum zählte das Pariser Leichenschauhaus Zehntausende Besucher täglich?Die Pariser Morgue auf der Île de la Cité war frei zugänglich. Hinter großen Glasfenstern wurden unbekannte Wasserleichen und Mordopfer aufgebahrt, damit Angehörige oder Bekannte sie identifizieren konnten. Durch die Berichterstattung der Massenpresse wandelte sich der Ort rasch zu einem urbanen Treffpunkt für Voyeure, Touristen und Literaten.Welche Bedeutung hatte die Morgue für die Entstehung der Kriminalistik?Die Einrichtung diente den führenden Gerichtsmedizinern der Pariser Universität als Forschungs- und Ausbildungsstätte. Hier wurden standardisierte Obduktionsprotokolle entwickelt, Kälteanlagen zur Leichenkonservierung erprobt und Methoden wie die Bertillonage (anthropometrische Erfassung) sowie die forensische Fotografie etabliert.Welche Fälle werden im Buch behandelt?Byers schildert unter anderem den Fall der 'Frau in Stücken' (Jeanne Marie Le Manach), den sensationellen Prozess um die 'Blutige Kiste' (Gouffé, Michel Eyraud und Gabrielle Bompard), postmortale Fotodokumentationen anonymer Tagelöhner sowie die gesellschaftlichen Dimensionen von Suizid und Großstadtelend im 19. Jahrhundert.

Die vergessenen Toten von Paris und die spektakuläre Geburt der modernen Forensik

La Morgue

Success can hide a lot of pain. Sometimes the bravest thing you can do is put your guard down. Anthony Giannotti looked successful from the outside, but inside he was quietly falling apart. A nationally recognized barber, educator, entrepreneur, and founder of multiple thriving businesses, Giannotti had built the life he'd always wanted. But behind the packed barbershops, sold-out classes, and endless travel lived something darker: anxiety, addiction, broken relationships, crushing self-doubt, and the "black cloud" that followed him everywhere he went. Then came the morning he woke in a hotel room to the news that Anthony Bourdain had died by suicide. That moment became the razor's edge between the life he was living—and the one he still had a chance to save. No Guard is an unflinching memoir about chasing success while losing yourself, growing up in a strict religious household, finding purpose through barbering and punk rock, surviving divorce, addiction, and depression, and discovering that healing isn't found in fame, money, or another drink—it's found in finally facing the parts of yourself you've spent a lifetime trying to outrun. Raw, darkly funny, and deeply compassionate, No Guard offers an unforgettable portrait of masculinity, vulnerability, and second chances. For anyone who has wrestled with anxiety, questioned their worth, or wondered whether it's ever too late to start over, Anthony Giannotti proves that sometimes the bravest thing you can do is put your guard down.

No Guard

The first-ever biography of the most pivotal Justice on the Supreme Court whose decisions, like the overturning of Roe, will drive the reshaping of America, by prize-winning journalist Peter Canellos. When the Supreme Court handed down its decision in Dobbs v. Jackson, the landmark case overturning Roe v. Wade, it marked a turning point in the lives of millions of Americans. It was also the culmination of a decades-long movement whose grievances were embodied by the man who wrote the court’s opinion: Samuel Anthony Alito Jr. Steely in his demeanor, with an impassive appearance that defies changing fashions, Alito could be the family lawyer in a 1960s television drama. But when he talks there is an emotional undercurrent, a fast-flowing stream beneath a placid surface. This is a man driven to push boundaries and mold ideas. His aim is to right the wrongs of the past six decades, as he saw them. He was the prized son of an Italian-born father and a mother whose parents emigrated from Italy shortly before her birth, worked their way into the middle class despite anti-Catholic prejudice and humiliating setbacks like evictions, and exacting big achievement demands of their children. But his family’s values came under attack during the sixties and later when Alito was at Princeton as the Vietnam war raged, women demanded equality, and their brand of patriotism was devalued. The Federalist Society provided a safe space for Alito and those like him, and he moved fast up the judicial ladder to eventually land on the Supreme Court. There he has been aggressive in pushing the law in new, conservative directions—from pushing for expanding rights for the religious conservatives, overturning affirmative action, extending the right to bear arms to thwart gun controls, and reducing the power of the Environmental Protection Agency. And finally—most crucial to his legacy—he was the author of Dobbs v. Jackson, bringing the conservative legal movement full circle in overruling Roe v. Wade. His ethnic and religious background, his intellectual confidence, and his unyielding determination are all illustrative of a group of men and women who, beset by grievance, embarked on a decades-long mission to change the rules that govern society.

Part legal thriller, part untold Howard Hughes history, Life, Death &amp; Domicile is attorney Rick Harrison's firsthand account of the eight-year battle over the billionaire's estate—and the disturbing evidence his investigation uncovered about the men who controlled Hughes during the final years of his life. On April 5, 1976, Howard Hughes—the aviator, industrialist, Hollywood mogul, and one of the richest men in the world—was flown from Acapulco toward Houston in catastrophic physical condition. He was seventy years old, severely emaciated and dehydrated, dependent on drugs, and had been hidden from public view for years. He died before reaching the hospital. His death was only the beginning. Drawing on Harrison's firsthand experience, testimony, depositions, medical evidence, court battles, and encounters with the remarkable cast of characters surrounding Hughes, Life, Death &amp; Domicile: The Kidnapping of Howard Hughes tells the story of a young lawyer handed the case of a lifetime—and the disturbing world he discovered behind the locked doors surrounding one of America's most famous billionaires. Part courtroom drama, part investigative history, and part legal memoir, it is the story of the battle for Howard Hughes's fortune—and the fight to determine who controlled the man before everyone began fighting over what he left behind.
