Driven To Kill
The true crime story of sex killer Westley Allan Dodd--his victims were too small to fight...and too young to die! Includes eyewitness execution report.

Children were his victims and the parks of the Pacific Northwest his personal hunting grounds.

Designing Social Inquiry
Designing Social Inquiry focuses on improving qualitative research, where numerical measurement is either impossible or undesirable. What are the right questions to ask? How should you define and make inferences about causal effects? How can you avoid bias? How many cases do you need, and how should they be selected? What are the consequences of unavoidable problems in qualitative research, such as measurement error, incomplete information, or omitted variables? What are proper ways to estimate and report the uncertainty of your conclusions?
Getting Business Fit
No one, from the CEO down to the lowest level worker, intentionally sets out to create waste or fail at their assigned work tasks. It s human nature to strive for and attain success in things we set out to do. Unfortunately many of us unwittingly pursue the path of least resistance even when we re pursuing our goals. Shortcuts multiply over time as we attempt to circumvent less desirable work tasks, and in doing so, we contribute to errors, defects, waste and risk that not only draws on your bottom-line, but jeopardizes productivity, customer satisfaction and loyalty, and ultimately the future of your organization Getting Business Fit takes a cut-to-the-chase approach in identifying, quantifying and setting out to eliminate the non-value work and waste in your organization. The fact that we are amidst a great recession, there is no better time than now to eliminate the waste in your organization and pursue business fitness. All you need is your sincerity to act, organizational commitment from your leadership team, the empowerment of your workforce, and Gary s five simple steps to getting business fit."
Gary
He's friendly. He's responsible. And he can be funny. Sometimes. But Gary is no Casanova. He could be your co-worker. He could be your neighbor. But could he be your boyfriend? In order for that to happen, he'd have to ask you out - but that's not going to happen any time soon. Because Gary isn't the kind of guy who asks you out. He's the kind of guy who sort of thinks that maybe he could possibly think about asking you out eventually. All that, however, is about to change. Maybe. Gary, King of the Pickup Artists is a refreshingly honest romantic comedy, charming and full of awkwardness - with a few Weezer songs and hockey references thrown in, for good measure.
