Kemper on Kemper is the first-ever collection of "interviews and encounters" with the notorious serial killer, Ed Kemper. The expanded edition includes the complete and never-before-published transcript of the April 1973 Ed Kemper confessions to the Santa Cruz Sheriff's Department. Through newspapers, first-person accounts, and interviews, Kemper on Kemper brings the reader from his early years as a disturbed wayward youth to the murders of his grandparents at age 15 and, later, his slaying of six college coeds before brutally killing his mother and her best friend. This book promises to take the reader on a nightmarish ride through Kemper's mind, as he explains the reasons for his killings with an acute grasp of his psychological make-up and skewed insight on life. He is everything and more that was hinted at in the popular TV series, Mindhunter. This is an essential book to add to your true crime library. Now, in its expanded edition, it is the most definitive book of Kemper interviews and encounters to date.Note: Misspellings in this book occur in the confessional transcripts, as it was published verbatim from the original transcribers of the Sheriff's Department. No attempt has been made to alter that original text.

Inspired by the Ken Burns series "The Civil War," In Deer Isle, Maine is a work of historical fiction that takes place at the homefront in downeast Maine (and the battlefield) during the Civil War. It is the story of the 16th Maine Volunteer Regiment at war; and it is the story of the wives, families and sweethearts of those soldiers who waited at home in Deer Isle. A murder during a foraging party in Virginia early in the novel sets in motion a mysterious chain of events that resonates at home even after the war is over. The men of the 16th Maine fought at Fredericksburg where they praised for their fighting spirit. At Gettysburg on the first day of the battle, the 16th Maine was ordered to cover the Union retreat, a solitary regiment against an entire Confederate corps. The regiment, already decimated, held, but in so doing they were very nearly annihilated, with fewer than thirty surviving death, wounds or capture. When those who survived wounds or capture returned to their seafaring town, they found an inordinate number of their friends and families deep in mourning, but unbowed, facing the future with hope and promise. The mystery resulting from the early foraging raid is uncovered in the end, but the motive for murder is unknown. "In Deer Isle Maine, to me, is a story of decisive moments. Split second decisions made not only by soldiers on the battlefield, but by families that wait at home. It is a tale of the tragedies and acts of war that shape national and personal histories alike - for better or for worse. Choices made in equal parts hope, desperation and fear - that cannot be cleared away like fallen bodies or forgotten like names. The characters you meet are admirable, pitiable, lovable and despicable. The descriptions you'll read of New England home life are so rich that you can hear the crunch of clam shells under your feet as you watch the islanders try to quietly survive both a small town's gossip and a nation at war." - The Salad Days

An important contribution to our understanding of the distribution of retail activities, particularly within cities, this book provides a critical review of the literature on the subject. It points out the major general propositions concerning retailing from the geographical point of view, and identifies key research problems, which need to be examined in order to push forward the frontiers of this sub field of economic geography. It presents a major critique of the central-place model, which has come to hold an important place in the methodology of economic geography, and clearly and decisively shows the model to be static, deterministic, retrospective and of little value for predictive purposes.

Although higher education in the UK has expanded opportunities for much of the population, in many ways it remains stubbornly elitist. In order to address this crisis in education, Peter Scott, a leading expert and unique voice, examines the development of mass higher education and proposes a 'radical escape-forward'. He calls for more robust action to secure fair access at all levels and changes in the governance and management at both system and institutional levels to ensure more democratic accountability. Setting out a clear and radical programme for reform, this book makes an important contribution to current debates in education in the context of the evolution of the UK economy and wider society.

When Peter Scott began a 1968 tour in Vietnam advising ethnic Cambodian Khmer Krom paramilitaries, they shared only an earnest desire to check the spread of communism. It took nearly thirty years and a chance reunion for him to realize just how much they had become a part of him. Successfully blending intense combat narrative and stirring emotional drama, Scott vividly captures both the unique village culture of a little-known, highly spiritual people and their complex relationship with Special Forces soldiers, who found it increasingly difficult to match their charges' commitment to the costly conflict. Building on his experiences as a Phoenix Program adviser near the Cambodian border, extensive interviews with Khmer Krom survivors, hundreds of hours of research in government archives, and requests for Freedom of Information Act disclosures, Scott seamlessly reconstructs the six-thousand-strong mercenary force's final crusade against communism, beginning in their ancestral home in 1970 and ending on the U.S. West Coast in 1995.
