Download or read book Ghost Burglar written by Jack Burch and published by . This book was released on 2012-04-19 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bernard C. Welch was called the most prolific burglar of modern times. He eluded police up and down the East Coast for years and was finally caught only because he shot prominent heart surgeon, Dr. David Halberstam, who then hit Welch with his car as Welch fled the scene. Halberstam died and Welch was sentenced to 143 years plus life. Sent to an "escape-proof" prison in Illinois, Welch managed to trick federal officials to sending him to a facility on the Chicago River on the promise of becoming a snitch. There, he broke out with the help of an enforcer from the Aryan Nation he had hired. This book is the whole story of a Rochester, N.Y. plumber who turned thievery into a business, even to the point of keeping books and filing taxes with the IRS for a "legitimate" antiques and silver trading business.
Book Synopsis A Burglar's Guide to the City by : Geoff Manaugh
Download or read book A Burglar's Guide to the City written by Geoff Manaugh and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2016-04-05 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The city seen from a unique point of view: those who want to break in and loot its treasures At the heart of Geoff Manaugh's A Burglar's Guide to the City is an unexpected and thrilling insight: the city as seen through the eyes of robbers. From experts on both sides of the law, readers learn to understand the city as an arena of possible tunnels and picked locks—and architecture itself as an obstacle to be outwitted and second-guessed. Never again will readers enter a bank without imagining the vault geometry, or visit a museum without plotting ways to bring their favorite painting home with them. From how to pick locks (and the tools required) to how to case a bank on the edge of town, readers will learn to spot the vulnerabilities, blind spots, and unseen openings that surround us all the time. This simultaneously allows us to view the city—from specific buildings and individual rooms to whole neighborhoods—through the privileged eyes of FBI investigating agents and security consultants, people dedicated both to solving and to preempting these attempts at devious entry. Full of absurd and marvelous stories of heists and capers, and offering a kind of criminal X-ray of the built environment, A Burglar's Guide to the City includes its own twist: the realization, hidden in its final chapter, that all along the book has been laying out the relevant details for plotting the perfect robbery, an ambitious and real proposal for robbing a bank in New York City.

Book excerpt: Enter an exciting world full of fantasy, action, and mystery in Michael Malik's intriguing debut, "Ghost Thief." Readers will get lost in this exciting tale that pits one skeptic detective against an enemy who knows no bounds. Benjamin Crisp, a detective constable in Scotland Yard's art and antiques division, is confused when he receives a rare and valuable atlas from his great-uncle Albert and sets off to learn Albert's intention. His great-uncle soon reveals that he is a member of an alchemist society that for centuries has used an element called ambrosium to absorb the thoughts of history's most celebrated figures into special busts, essentially turning them into ghosts. The bust of Dr. John Dee has gone missing, however, and it is up to Crisp to track it down. But the discovery of the bust brings bigger problems when Dee reveals a horrifying secret: during his lifetime, he helped discover the language of angels-a fact that had remained hidden until now. When an unknown nemesis discovers the secret and banishes all the angels from Earth, the delicate balance that exists between good and evil is destroyed. Can Crisp uncover the riddle of the atlas and battle the forces of darkness before it's too late?

Book Synopsis The Burglar in the Bin Bag by : Arthur Goldstuck
Download or read book The Burglar in the Bin Bag written by Arthur Goldstuck and published by Penguin Random House South Africa. This book was released on 2012-10-01 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Arthur Goldstuck - South Africa's urban legends guru - returns with a definitive guide to the hoaxes and rumours that have terrified and confused South Africans over the last twenty years. Why did an estimated 10 000 South Africans go on 'holiday' to Zimbabwe in April 1994? Who, exactly, decided that needles covered in AIDS-infected blood were being left on cinema seats in Cape Town in 1999? How did it come to be reported in several reputable newspapers that the South African government was considering cancelling Christmas in August 2004? Whatever happened to the ' tornado' that was supposed to descend on Johannesburg and Pretoria to devastating effect on 8 October 2007? Did the 100 000 women and children set to be trafficked into South Africa for the 2010 World Cup actually arrive? Have you ever cleared your driveway of 'colour-coded' rubbish, held back from flashing your lights at someone for fear of becoming a victim of a gang initiation rite or forwarded an email about child abduction to your friends and family? If so, have you ever wondered about the origins of these warnings? In this new book, Arthur Goldstuck not only traces the evolution of these urban legends but also digs deep into the human psyche to explain why it is that we are drawn into believing and passing on these warnings even when incontrovertible proof exists that they are false.

Book Synopsis Drinking from the Cosmic Gourd by : B. Nyamnjoh
Download or read book Drinking from the Cosmic Gourd written by B. Nyamnjoh and published by African Books Collective. This book was released on 2017-03-15 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book questions colonial and apartheid ideologies on being human and being African, ideologies that continue to shape how research is conceptualised, taught and practiced in universities across Africa. Africans immersed in popular traditions of meaning-making are denied the right, by those who police the borders of knowledge, to think and represent their realities in accordance with the civilisations and universes they know best. Often, the ways of life they cherish are labelled and dismissed too eagerly as traditional knowledge by some of the very African intellectual elite they look to for protection. The book makes a case for sidestepped traditions of knowledge. It draws attention to Africas possibilities, prospects and emergent capacities for being and becoming in tune with its creativity and imagination. It speaks to the nimble-footed flexible-minded frontier African at the crossroads and junctions of encounters, facilitating creative conversations and challenging regressive logics of exclusionary identities. The book uses Amos Tutuolas stories to question dualistic assumptions about reality and scholarship, and to call for conviviality, interconnections and interdependence between competing knowledge traditions in Africa.
