Название: Murderabilia: A History of Crime in 100 Objects Автор: Harold Schechter Издательство: Workman Год: 2023 Формат: EPUB Размер: 38 Мб Язык: английский / English
From veteran true crime master Harold Schechter comes a unique look into the history of crime told through the dark objects left behind. The false teeth of a female serial killer from 1908, the cut-and-paste confession of the Black Dahlia killer, the newly cracked cipher of the Zodiac killer, the shotgun used in the Clutter family murders, which were made famous by Truman Capote's true crime classic In Cold Blood—these are more than simple artifacts that once belonged to notorious murderers. They are objets of fascination to the legion of true crime obsessives around the world. And not merely for fleeting dark thrills, but because they represent a way to better understand those who we typically label monsters in lieu of learning how they actually became one.
Название: Spider Woman: A Life Автор: Lady Hale Издательство: Bodley Head Год: 2022 Формат: EPUB Размер: 28 Мб Язык: английский / English
Lady Hale is an inspirational figure admired for her historic achievements and for the causes she has championed. Spider Woman is her story. As President of the Supreme Court, Lady Hale won global attention in finding the 2019 prorogation of Parliament to be unlawful. Yet that dramatic moment was merely the pinnacle of a career throughout which she was hailed as a pioneering reformer. As 'a little girl from a little school in a little village in North Yorkshire', she only went into the law because her headteacher told her she wasn't clever enough to study history. She became the most senior judge in the country. How does a self-professed 'girly swot' get ahead in a profession dominated by men? A lifelong smasher of glass-ceilings, who took as her motto 'women are equal to everything', her landmark rulings in areas including domestic violence, divorce, mental health and equality were her attempt to correct that. Wise, warm and inspiring, Spider Woman shows how the law shapes our world. It is the story of how Lady Hale found that she could overcome the odds and change British law for good.

There, he met his future wife, the highly intelligent and equally ambitious Whitney Duan who was determined to make her mark within China’s male-dominated society.

Название: Pockets: An Intimate History of How We Keep Things Close Автор: Hannah Carlson Издательство: Algonquin Books Год: 2023 Формат: EPUB Размер: 62 Мб Язык: английский / English
Who gets pockets, and why? It’s a subject that stirs up plenty of passion: Why do men’s clothes have so many pockets and women’s so few? And why are the pockets on women’s clothes often too small to fit phones, if they even open at all? In her captivating book, Hannah Carlson, a lecturer in dress history at the Rhode Island School of Design, reveals the issues of gender politics, security, sexuality, power, and privilege tucked inside our pockets. Throughout the medieval era in Europe, the purse was an almost universal dress feature. But when tailors stitched the first pockets into men’s trousers five hundred years ago, it ignited controversy and introduced a range of social issues that we continue to wrestle with today, from concealed pistols to gender inequality.

Здесь соседствуют невероятная красота и смертельная опасность, ведь уже многие годы в долине загадочным образом бесследно исчезают люди. В 2016 году сюда приехал американский путешественник Джастин Шетлер. В конце августа в сопровождении садху он отправился в «духовное путешествие» к святому озеру – в путешествие, из которого он уже никогда не вернется. Так что же на самом деле происходит в этой долине?
