The Big Book of Serial Killers
Summary
There is little more terrifying than those who hunt, stalk, and snatch their prey under the cloak of darkness. These hunters search not for animals, but for the touch, taste, and empowerment of human flesh. They are cannibals, vampires, and monsters, and they walk among us. These serial killers are not mythical beasts with horns and shaggy hair. They are people living among society, going about their day-to-day activities until nightfall. They are the Dennis Rader's, the fathers, husbands, church-going members of the community. This A-Z encyclopedia of 150 serial killers is the ideal reference audiobook. Included are the most famous true crime serial killers, like Jeffrey Dahmer, John Wayne Gacy, Richard Ramirez, and not to mention the women who kill, such as Aileen Wuornos, and Martha Rendell. There are also lesser known serial killers, covering many countries around the world, so broad is the range. Each of the serial killer files includes information on when and how they killed the victims, the background of each killer, or the suspects in some cases, such as the Zodiac killer, their trials and punishments. For some there are chilling quotes by the killers themselves. The Big Book of Serial Killers is an easy-to-follow collection of information on the world's most heinous murderers.

Summary
The complete guide to everything you need to know to become a marijuana growing expert! Look no further - this box set of the two top-selling marijuana growing books will take you from someone who has never grown anything in their life to a cannabis-cultivating expert. You will learn the fundamentals of growth in Growing Marijuana for Beginners and will be exposed to far more advanced methods in Advanced Marijuana Growing Techniques. With step-by-step detailed instructions, you will be taken through every step of the growing process, from picking which strand to grow to where to store the finished product for long-term freshness. One of the most publicized crops of our era and in all of history, marijuana is slowly altering our economy, health care system, and political climate. Once one of the countries with the strictest restrictions on marijuana use, cannabis use for medicinal purposes is now legal in 23 states (at time of writing) in the United States. It's hard to believe how much things have changed regarding cannabis in the last decade, and it is impossible to predict what will happen over the 10 years. What we can predict is that as the social stigma clouding marijuana dissipates and as more laws are introduced to authorize its use, production will increase, and it will increase rapidly. Pot, weed, cannabis, marijuana - call it what you want, it is impossible to deny its slow and steady rise to stardom in the United States and many other nations across the world. We are entering a new era, one far more progressive than the previous, one that will undoubtedly embrace the use of marijuana both in medical and recreational purposes more than ever before.

The Strategy Collection
Summary
The Art of War, The Prince, and The Book of Five Rings are three historical pieces that deal with strategy. The Art of War is an ancient Chinese military treatise, and each chapter within the treatise is devoted to a distinct aspect of warfare and how that applies to military strategy and tactics. The Art of War remains the most influential strategy text in East Asian warfare and has had a profound influence on East Asian and Western military thinking, business tactics, legal strategy, and beyond. Machiavelli composed The Prince as a practical guide for ruling an empire. Within his treatise, Machiavelli aims to provide strategies on how to govern a nation, conquest of new territories, and dealing with integration of the peoples of new territories. Machiavelli also lays out his strategy for defense, military, and the qualities a prince should have to govern properly. The Book of Five Rings is a Japanese text that has been regarded as a treatise on the strategy for winning. The five chapters, "rings", refer to the idea that there are different elements of battle, just as there are different physical elements in life. The Book of Five Rings was known as the holy grail for samurai; it lays out strategy on how to defeat an enemy by using tactics such as throwing them off guard and creating confusion, among other techniques.

Stoicism: Understanding and Practicing the Philosophy of The Stoics
Summary
“It is the power of the mind to be unconquerable." (Seneca, The Stoic Philosophy of Seneca: Essays and Letters) What does it mean to be “unconquerable"? Becoming unconquerable has nothing to do with forming an army or strengthening your muscles. In fact, it has nothing to do with anything physical at all. It’s about changing how you view the world and your part in it. You become unconquerable when you learn how to deal with the curveballs of life. How do you find joy in your darkest hour? How do you feel rich when you have nothing? You won’t find these teachings in today’s schools, but this is exactly what the ancient philosophers were teaching. Events outside of your control should have no impact on your joy, happiness, peace, or confidence. If these things are going to happen anyway, why not turn them in to positive events? Instead of always being the victim, turn yourself into the victor. All it takes is a shift in perspective; and that’s what Stoicism is all about. The timeless wisdom of the Stoics can help anyone find inner peace and joy and Stoicism: Understanding and Practicing the Philosophy of the Stoics is the perfect starting point. What are you waiting for? If you’re looking for true, unbreakable joy, and strength, get this audiobook to get started!

True Crime Stories Volume 12: 12 Shocking True Crime Murder Cases (True Crime Anthology)
Summary
In the following book you will be introduced to twelve shocking true crime cases that will keep you engaged as you become disturbed by the depths of the depravity some of these criminals have demonstrated. These 12 cases cover 100 years of crime history over several different countries, demonstrating once more that serious crime is a phenomenon that knows no boundaries. One of the major themes of this volume is crimes against the most vulnerable people in our society, including the elderly, and the young. You will hear about a case in Indiana where a 12-year-old girl was brutally tortured and murdered, not by a deranged pedophile or a career criminal, but by girls her own age who let their undeveloped minds and peer pressure get out of hand. The bizarre case of a serial killer who targeted elderly women in Australia is also profiled, demonstrating that not only are killers driven by diverse motives, many of which will be impossible for most of us to understand, but also that not all serial killer victims are society’s “throw aways.” You will also hear about two contestants for the “worst parent of all-time award.” These two separate cases involved men, who instead of protecting and caring for their children, ultimately played major roles in the horrible, painful deaths of their children. Educate yourself on the world of true crime and learn that not everything is always as it seems. Follow the criminal investigations as detectives from around the world broke some of the most baffling true crime cases of the last 100 years.

John D. Rockefeller: The Original Titan - Insight and Analysis into the Life of the Richest Man in American History
Summary
Rockefeller was the quintessential industrialist. He created an industry out of nascent oil and gas start-ups during a time when none existed. His strategies and tactics may not have been approved by all, but he was certain he was doing God’s work. We live in a world today that is based on the actions of John D. Rockefeller. Everything we do and how we live are the result of oil and its power. This inherent structure is based on what one man did when the oil industry was just starting off. He was strategic in his thinking, choosing to enter the refining side of the oil industry instead of the exploring and drilling aspect of it. He started with one refinery and then quickly bought up more than 90 percent of his competitors in the state within a few short years. The story of Rockefeller as told in this audiobook provides a deep view of the oil industry and is told from a very human and real perspective. It looks at the events that shaped his life, from the shenanigans of his crooked father to the pleasant and philanthropic old man that he became. It is a story that is both instructive and interesting. It is a story of America itself told from the perspective of one of the world’s most successful men who rose from nothing and set the world on its path - a path that we still traverse today almost a century after his passing. Listen to this audiobook and learn about the conversations and twists and turns that were part of John D. Rockefeller’s life. Feel what he felt as he navigated happiness and disappointment, clarity, and confusion. What are you waiting for? Listen now to learn about the Original Titan.

NLP is about rewiring your brain in a way that changes almost everything you do. This audiobook takes a walk on the wild side by showing you the nature of the brain and the development of the mind so that you can develop a framework of your own mind. Beyond the theory, it also gives you a practical look at the things you can do when you change the way your mind is wired and the effect that has on your work and your family.

But until now, the better life has been elusive to a certain segment of people who are trying hard but not making much out of it. NLP is the thing they have been missing.

Summary
Lawrence Bittaker and Roy Norris, the Toolbox Killers, brought a level of terror that changed the way people carried out their daily lives. It was a time of innocence in California, where young girls could walk the streets or hitchhike along the freeways without a care or concern for their own safety, day or night. But that innocence and trust were to be shattered as five girls made the fatal mistake of accepting a ride from Bittaker and Norris. What started as a chance meeting in prison of these terrible men resulted in a murder spree that was planned right down to the finest details.

This true crime book includes chapters that explore the psychological make-up of these killers, and factors that may have influenced their twisted minds. How could these men inflict such horrific pain and suffering on their victims, and get away with it until five victims are left dead and scattered in a desolate canyon? What would have happened if Bittaker and Norris had never met? These famous serial killers were organized and sexually sadistic, and were responsible for some of the most horrendous true murders involving unimaginable torture in history.
