Criminal Sociology
A new departure in science is a simple phenomenon of nature, determined in its origin and progress, like all such phenomena, by conditions of time and place. Attention must be drawn to these conditions at the outset, for it is only by accurately defining them that the scientific conscience of the student of sociology is developed and confirmed. The experimental philosophy of the latter half of our century, combined with human biology and psychology, and with the natural study of human society, had already produced an intellectual atmosphere decidedly favourable to a practical inquiry into the criminal manifestations of individual and social life. To these general conditions must be added the plain and everyday contrast between the metaphysical perfection of criminal law and the progressive increase of crime, as well as the contrast between legal theories of crime and the study of the mental characteristics of a large number of criminals. From this point onwards, nothing could be more natural than the rise of a new school, whose object was to make an experimental study of social pathology in respect of its criminal symptoms, in order to bring theories of crime and punishment into harmony with everyday facts. This is the positive school of criminal law, whereof the fundamental purpose is to study the natural genesis of criminality in the criminal, and in the physical and social conditions of his life, so as to apply the most effectual remedies to the various causes of crime. Thus we are not concerned merely with the construction of a theory of anthropology or psychology, or a system of criminal statistics, nor merely with the setting of abstract legal theories against other theories which are still more abstract. Our task is to show that the basis of every theory concerning the self-defence of the community against evil-doers must be the observation of the individual and of society in their criminal activity. In one word, our task is to construct a criminal sociology./0/21710/coverorgin.jpg?v=49339f6896c77427203924bd1c67d57a&imageMogr2/format/webp)

The Unseen Horror
My mother's fists and cutting words were a constant, brutal normal. At 19, I lived under her unpredictable rages, bewilderingly targeted and deeply alone. Then a mysterious video shattered my fragile peace. My loving grandparents, concerned about my endless "accidents," visited. One glance at my mother's phone, and their faces twisted into sickening horror. "She can't stay here," my grandfather rasped, their eyes silently urging me to vanish. Weeks later, my boyfriend Mark burst in during another savage beating, ready to call the cops. But after my mother calmly showed him that same video, his anger drained, replaced by a horrified pity. "She needs to go," he told her, echoing my grandparents' chilling demand. Even my beloved father, once my protector, turned cold and distant after viewing it, joining the chorus that I was "the problem." My world imploded. Everyone I trusted, every last hope, had turned on me, convinced by this unseen horror. What unspeakable secret could be on that video that warped their love into icy rejection, making them agree I "needed to be taken care of"? Was I losing my mind, or was this betrayal a prelude to something far more sinister? Desperate for answers, I risked everything, stealing my mother's phone and watching the dreaded file. What I saw wasn't about me at all; it was a grainy, undeniable horror: my "kind" father, the respected community leader, preying on my older sisters. The unthinkable truth rewrote my entire life, exposing my mother's "abuse" as a devastating, desperate shield, a terrifying sacrifice to protect me from the monster living under our roof./0/12012/coverorgin.jpg?v=dcfc05c62d8c686083b349ee040f23d9&imageMogr2/format/webp)
A Vindication of the Rights of Woman Title: Vindication of the Rights of Women
After considering the historic page, and viewing the living world with anxious solicitude, the most melancholy emotions of sorrowful indignation have depressed my spirits, and I have sighed when obliged to confess, that either nature has made a great difference between man and man, or that the civilization, which has hitherto taken place in the world, has been very partial. I have turned over various books written on the subject of education, and patiently observed the conduct of parents and the management of schools; but what has been the result? a profound conviction, that the neglected education of my fellow creatures is the grand source of the misery I deplore; and that women in particular, are rendered weak and wretched by a variety of concurring causes, originating from one hasty conclusion. The conduct and manners of women, in fact, evidently prove, that their minds are not in a healthy state; for, like the flowers that are planted in too rich a soil, strength and usefulness are sacrificed to beauty; and the flaunting leaves, after having pleased a fastidious eye, fade, disregarded on the stalk, long before the season when they ought to have arrived at maturity. One cause of this barren blooming I attribute to a false system of education, gathered from the books written on this subject by men, who, considering females rather as women than human creatures, have been more anxious to make them alluring mistresses than rational wives; and the understanding of the sex has been so bubbled by this specious homage, that the civilized women of the present century, with a few exceptions, are only anxious to inspire love, when they ought to cherish a nobler ambition, and by their abilities and virtues exact respect./0/8414/coverorgin.jpg?v=97837659b241c178ab4c534e8bb48d57&imageMogr2/format/webp)
The Phantom of the River
Classic adventure novel. According to Wikipedia: "Edward Sylvester Ellis (April 11, 1840 – June 20, 1916) was an American author who was born in Ohio and died at Cliff Island, Maine. Ellis was a teacher, school administrator, and journalist, but his most notable work was that that he performed as author of hundreds of dime novels that he produced under his name and a number of noms de plume. Notable works by Ellis include The Huge Hunter, or the Steam Man of the Prairies and Seth Jones, or the Captives of the Frontier. Internationally, Edward S. Ellis is probably best known for his Deerhunter novels widely read by young boys up to the 1950s (together with works by James Fenimore Cooper and Karl May). In the mid-1880s, after a fiction-writing career of some thirty years, Ellis eventually turned his pen to more serious works of biography, history, and persuasive writing."/0/9040/coverorgin.jpg?v=62248e52ecdc428c20d51457cf92a917&imageMogr2/format/webp)

The Scholarship Scammer's Downfall
I had worked my entire life for this. The Starlight Innovators Scholarship—a full ride to MIT—was finally mine, and the principal had just called my name. But as I stood to accept, a shrill voice cut through the applause. My father's mistress, Brenda Sullivan, publicly railed that her son deserved it, claiming my "generous" father had funded the school. My father, Richard, who just lived off my mom's untold fortune, beamed beside her as they tried to snatch my future, painting me as ordinary. I exposed their first lie: my reclusive genius mom, Eleanor Vance, was NovaCore's actual founder and the *real* donor. Yet they didn't stop; they launched a vicious online smear campaign and my father even physically attacked my professor at MIT. How could my own father, this charlatan, repeatedly try to sabotage my life with such brazen lies? Why did they relentlessly pursue me, twisting truths and resorting to violence, just to protect their crumbling fabricated world? But they underestimated me. I was done being their victim. When Kevin, in a desperate rage, broke into my dorm with a knife, I knew it was time to ensure their web of deceit collapsed—not just online, but for good./0/1688/coverorgin.jpg?v=d35ee77f243f0382dcce18a2539473a8&imageMogr2/format/webp)
When a Man Marries
According to Wikipedia: "Mary Roberts Rinehart (August 12, 1876-September 22, 1958) was a prolific author often called the American Agatha Christie.[1] She is considered the source of the phrase "The butler did it", although she did not actually use the phrase herself, and also considered to have invented the "Had-I-But-Known" school of mystery writing.... Rinehart wrote hundreds of short stories, poems, travelogues and special articles. Many of her books and plays, such as The Bat (1920) were adapted for movies, such as The Bat (1926), The Bat Whispers (1930), and The Bat (1959). While many of her books were best-sellers, critics were most appreciative of her murder mysteries. Rinehart, in The Circular Staircase (1908), is credited with inventing the "Had-I-But-Known" school of mystery writing. The Circular Staircase is a novel in which "a middle-aged spinster is persuaded by her niece and nephew to rent a country house for the summer. The house they choose belonged to a bank defaulter who had hidden stolen securities in the walls. The gentle, peace-loving trio is plunged into a series of crimes solved with the help of the aunt. This novel is credited with being the first in the "Had-I-But-Known" school."[3] The Had-I-But-Known mystery novel is one where the principal character (frequently female) does less than sensible things in connection with a crime which have the effect of prolonging the action of the novel. Ogden Nash parodied the school in his poem Don't Guess Let Me Tell You: "Sometimes the Had I But Known then what I know now I could have saved at least three lives by revealing to the Inspector the conversation I heard through that fortuitous hole in the floor." The phrase "The butler did it", which has become a cliché, came from Rinehart's novel The Door, in which the butler actually did do it, although that exact phrase does not actually appear in the work."/0/15611/coverorgin.jpg?v=fc8c24f92179e43026f63cb5778d4cb7&imageMogr2/format/webp)
