A biography of the spectacular rise and fall of Eddie Antar, better known as "Crazy Eddie," whose home electronics empire changed the world even as it turned out to be one of the biggest business scams of all time Back in the fall of 2016 we heard the news about the passing of Eddie Antar, "Crazy Eddie" as he was known to millions of people, the man behind the successful chain of electronic stores and one of the most iconic ad campaigns in history.

Robert Stanleys life ends on a Monte Carlo road, the victim of a collision between his blue Mercedes and a truck. His death seems like an accident. Many people hate Robert Stanley, that why murder is always a possibility. Plenty of people wanted Stanley dead. As an executive, he was ruthless, ruining his own father to gain control of their company. As a husband, he was a shameless philanderer, ultimately driving his wife to suicide. In addition, as a father Stanley was a monster, jealously guarding his wealth from his estranged children. No one will mourn Robert Stanley, but his death raises questions.

The answer lies in Bad Mood Drive.
The New Solar System, now in its fourth edition, is firmly established as the leading text on planetary science and solar system studies. A distinguished team of researchers, many of the Principal Investigators on NASA missions, has carried out a complete revision of the text, illustrations and tables. The book has been completely redesigned to display hundreds of new images to best advantage and to make the reference data and tables easier to use. New to this edition are descriptions of collisions in the solar system, full scientific results from Galileo's mission to Jupiter and its moons, and the Mars Pathfinder mission. Sections on comets, the search for other worlds, and the search for life take into account the latest discoveries.
