Brady and Hindley: Genesis of the Moors Murders
by Fred HarrisonThe shocking true crime story of child murderers Ian Brady and Myra Hindley, Great Britain&’s most horrific serial killers. During the early 1960s, just as Beatlemania was exploding throughout the United Kingdom, a pair of psychopathic British killers began preying on the very young, innocent, and helpless of Greater Manchester. Between 1963 and 1965, Ian Brady and his lover and partner, Myra Hindley, were responsible for the abduction, rape, torture, and murder of five young victims, ranging in age from ten to seventeen years old. The English press dubbed the grisly series of homicides &“the Moors Murders,&” named for the desolate landscape where three of the corpses were eventually discovered. Based in part on the author&’s face-to-face prison interviews with the killers, Fred Harrison&’s fascinating and disturbing true crime masterwork digs deeply into Brady and Hindley&’s personal histories to examine the factors that led to their mutual attraction and their evolution into the UK&’s most notorious pair of human monsters. It was during these interviews that new details about the killers&’ terrible crimes surfaced, compelling the police to reopen what was arguably the most shocking and sensational homicide case in the annuls of twentieth-century British crime. With a new introduction by the author, meticulously researched and compellingly written, Brady and Hindley is the definitive account of Britain&’s most hated serial killers.

Brady vs Manning
by Gary MyersFrom Acclaimed sports journalist Gary Myers comes the definitive inside account of the greatest rivalry in NFL historyTom Brady and Peyton Manning are perhaps the two greatest quarterbacks of all time. They are living legends who have come to embody the quarterback position and shape an entire generation of the NFL. They have also been fierce rivals every step of the way, and their many epic duels have not only ranked among the best and most exciting games ever played, they have fundamentally shaped the lives of and careers of both men.But for all their shared brilliance, they are a study in contrasts. Tom is the underdog turned ultimate winner, an unheralded draft pick who went on to win a miraculous Super Bowl and become the leader of one of the NFL's greatest dynasties. He is as firmly associated with big game brilliance as anyone who has ever played. Meanwhile Peyton was born into NFL royalty and a mountain of outsized expectations, yet somehow lived up to and exceeded all the hype, claiming virtually every passing record along his path to football immortality.The contrast in greatness--between the overachieving underdog and the crown prince of football, between postseason brilliance and statistical dominance--has served as an endless source of fascination for fans and media, and over the years as the two players have faced off again and again in classic games, the argument has only intensified. But until now, there has never been a definitive treatment of the debate that tells the real story. What do Tom and Peyton actually think of each other? What do their coaches think of them? What about teammates and opposing players? What are they like behind closed doors and in the locker room, and how does that influence their careers? How did their vastly different upbringings shape them, and how has each handled the injuries, setbacks and defeats they've dealt with over their careers? In this extraordinary book, veteran NFL correspondent Gary Myers tackles this subject from every angle and with unprecedented access and insight, drawing on a huge number of never-before-heard interviews with Brady and Manning, their coaches, their families, and those who have played with them and against them. The result is a remarkable collection of the most entertaining and revealing stories ever told about Peyton and Tom, from how they developed their vastly different leadership styles, to the unlikely friendship they've built over the years, to their respective exploits as locker room pranksters. Wildly entertaining and deeply thought-provoking, Brady vs Manning is essential reading for anyone who truly wants to understand these extraordinary players.

Brady's Civil War Journal: Photographing the War 1861–65
by Theodore P. Savas&“My greatest aim has been to advance the art of photography and to make it what I think I have, a great and truthful medium of history.&” —Mathew Brady Mathew Brady and his team of assistants risked their lives to capture up-close images of the fury of the American Civil War and its aftermath. Brady actually got so close to the action during the First Battle of Bull Run that he only narrowly avoided capture. Brady's Civil War Journal chronicles the events of the war by showcasing a selection of Brady's moving, one-of-a-kind images and describing each in terms of its significance. Brady&’s team not only captured thousands of portraits of the combatants, the generals, the fighting men, the sick, the dead, and the dying, but also documented the infrastructure of the war machine itself, recording images of artillery pieces, the early railroads, and extraordinary engineering feats. The text by Theodore P. Savas, an expert on the Civil War, adds context to Brady's memorable photographs, creating an unrivaled visual account of the most costly conflict in American history as it unfolded. His unique record of the war gives modern readers a fascinating insight into the terrible maelstrom that shaped our nation.
BRAF Targets in Melanoma: Biological Mechanisms, Resistance, and Drug Discovery (Cancer Drug Discovery and Development #82)
by Ryan J. SullivanThis volume contains a collection of writings from the leaders in the fields of Molecular Biology and Melanoma Research which will begin to tell the ever-expanding story of the most recent findings, discoveries, and potential of BRAF-directed targets in melanoma. Recent research has shown that BRAF inhibitors are effective for a short period of time, but there is little hope that this drugs as single agents will lead to durable benefit in a majority of patients. Among scientists and researchers who work in drug discovery, there is a lot of interest in the development of molecularly targeted cancer agents. Namely, the identification of a molecular target, the selection of molecules which effectively inhibit this target. What is starkly different about the development of this class of compounds, however, is that the mechanism of action of these agents are not as straightforward as was once previously assumed and the mechanisms of resistance that tumor cells employ to evade complete destruction are unlike any that have been described before. These discoveries in addition to utilization of modern molecular biology techniques have led to a series of hypotheses regarding which other types of molecules could be used in combination with BRAF-inhibitors in hopes of revolutionizing the potential of therapeutics in melanoma.
Brag!: The Art of Tooting Your Own Horn without Blowing It
by Peggy KlausBrag! is a whip smart tool kit--one that tampers with our beliefs about humility by defining bragging as an act of authenticity. Peggy Klaus, a Fortune 500 communication coach, sharpened her strategies in Hollywood, "the bragging capitol of the world," where she learned the art of tooting your horn, without blowing it. "To brag is to talk about your best self with pride and passion in a conversational manner." explains Klaus.She includes a snappy "Bragging Dictionary" with highly practical techniques including instructions for the "Bragalogue," a brief memorable elevator pitch and a "Brag bag," the collection of your greatest hits with colorful details that can be easily accessed. Bragging rights and responsibilities are surveyed in a variety of situations:the co-worker who takes credit, techno-bragging online, performance reviews, job interviews and working a room. Klaus peppers her points with examples from her coaching sessions and seminars, sample dialogues and self-assessments. Although several examples may seem too studied, Klaus has much to brag about. This is a book that will change the way you think about the slippery skill of selling yourself. --Barbara Mackoff

Bragg Fibers: From Optical Properties to Applications
by Ritesh Kumar Chourasia Aavishkar KattiThis book highlights the guiding mechanisms as well as the most current and important results in the field of innovative, bio-inspired Bragg fibers. While conventional optical fibers (COF) have several advantages over traditional waveguides, they also suffer from a number of disadvantages which are not present in Bragg fibers due to their minimal nonlinearities, lack of polarization or birefringence effect, lack of Fresnel reflections at the open fiber end, and absence of material or cladding losses. A natural platform for biological and chemical sensing, and with potential to boost communication systems' speed and bandwidth, the primary goal of this book is to apprise readers in academia and industry of properties of EM wave propagation in Bragg fibers with a defect layer. Their major applications in bio/chemical sensing, fuel adulteration sensing, high-temperature sensing, optical dual-channel inline filtering, optical de-multiplexers, optical couplers, and nonlinear soliton generation are presented in detail, along with comparisons of Bragg fibers with alternative structures and their relative pros and cons.
The Brahma Kumaris as a ‘Reflexive Tradition’: Responding to Late Modernity (Routledge Revivals)
by John WallissThis title was first published in 2002. Drawing on primary research on the Brahma Kumaris World Spiritual University, a millenarian New Religious Movement of Indian origin, this book examines the status of tradition in the contemporary world through a critical engagement with the recent social theory of Anthony Giddens on the emergence of a post-traditional society. Wallis examines both the ways in which forms of tradition not only persist but also flourish in the contemporary world and also the manner in which such traditions are drawn on and (re)created by individuals in their ongoing construction of self-identity. Illuminating some of the difficulties encountered when social theory is applied to 'the real world', this book also offers a way of theorising about the status of contemporary religiosity that does not refer directly to the notion of secularisation.

Brahmacharya (Sanxipt): બ્રહ્મચર્ય (સંક્ષિપ્ત)
by Dada Bhagwanતમને ચોરી કરવી ગમે? તમને જુઠું બોલવું ગમે? તમને કોઈને મારી નાખવાનું (હિંસા) ગમે? તો પછી વિષયમાં એવું શું છે કે તે પોતાને ગમે છે? તે ફક્ત રોંગ બિલીફના કારણે છે. બીજાઓએ કહ્યું તેથી તમે પણ માનો છો કે વિષયમાં પરમ સુખ છે. પણ તે સત્ય નથી. સ્વાભાવિક રીતે વિચારો, શું તમારી બીજી ઇન્દ્રિયોને તે ગમે છે? શું આંખોને તે ગમે છે? શું કાનો સાંભળે છે ત્યારે તેમને તે ગમે છે? શું જીભ ચાટે તો તે મીઠું લાગે છે? નાકને તે ખરેખર ગમતું હશે, નહિ? કોઈ પણ ઇન્દ્રિયને તે ગમતું નથી. દરેક માણસે વિષયનું પરીણામ શું છે અને બ્રહ્મચર્ય પાળવાના શા ફાયદા છે તે ઓળખવા જોઈએ. પોતાના કાયદેસરના સાથીદાર સાથે પણ ફક્ત એક વખત વિષય ભોગવવાથી, લાખો જીવોની હિંસા થાય છે; અને પોતાના લગ્નના સાથીદાર સિવાય બીજા કોઈ સાથેનો વિષય નરકમાં જવાનું કારણ છે. દરેક જણ સહમત થાય છે કે બ્રહ્મચર્ય પાળવું જોઈએ. પરંતુ તે પાળવું કેમ? કોઈએ કદી તેનો રસ્તો બતાવ્યો નથી. આ પુસ્તકમાં તમે જોશો કે બ્રહ્મચર્ય પાળવાના સચોટ અને સ્પષ્ટ રસ્તા બતાવ્યા છે. વર્તમાન અને ભવિષ્યના વિષયના ભયંકર જોખમ વાંચીને લોકોને ધક્કો લાગશે અને તેઓ કહેશે “અમને આની જાણ જ ન હતી.”
Brahman: A Comparative Theology
by Michael MyersThis book is a critique of western systematic theology. It borrows insights from India and other traditions; it is not a synthesis of religious traditions. The book includes two parts, method and systematics. It examines the traditional topics of systematic theology '- topics such as the existence and nature of God, revelation and reason, religious ethics and human practice, the relation of God to the world, Christology, and eschatology - and allows these topics to grow in conversation with India and to change according to dialogical insights. The book is prompted by a perceived need to cross the boundaries between western and Indian worldviews in a systematic and comprehensive way. The purpose of the book is to enable scholars worldwide to extend their theological resources and to look anew at the problems and prospects of a comparative, systematic theology.

Brahms: His Life and Work (Routledge Revivals)
by Karl Geiringer Irene GeiringerOriginally published in 1936, as a second edition in 1948 and as an enlarged and third edition in 1982, Karl Geiringer’s biography of Brahms is generally regarded as one of the finest studies of the composer ever published in any language. It is based on the body of material in the archives of the Viennese Society of Friends, for which Karl Geiringer was curator from 1930-1938, and which contains more than a thousand letters written by and to Brahms. These letters, exchanged with family and with his famous contemporaries, reveal his loneliness, grim humour, loyalty, painful shyness and enthusiasm for the music of Beethoven and Schubert – moods that the self-effacing composer did not like to publicly display. Divided into sections on Brahms’s solitary, scholarly existence and his fruitful composing career – including examinations of rare first drafts – the biography relates how crises in Brahm’s personal life were translated into his music, and how he often managed to ignore or suppress them.
