The Mad Bomber of New York
“Gripping and bizarre . . . A compelling account of a dangerously angry man and the investigation that helped to revolutionize modern police work.” —Kirkus Reviews Between 1940 and 1957, thirty-three bombs—strategically placed in Grand Central Terminal, Penn Station, Radio City Music Hall, Macy’s, and other crowded areas of New York—paralyzed the city, sending shockwaves of fear through the public. George Metesky, the “Mad Bomber,” unleashed a reign of terror that reverberated through America’s social, legal, and political landscape, ultimately spurring the birth of modern criminal profiling when a psychiatrist was called in to assist in the manhunt. A compelling work of historical true crime, The Mad Bomber of New York is the gripping tale of two individuals engaged in a deadly game of hide-and-seek, with the city of New York caught in the crosshairs. “A full-fledged biography that evokes the chaos and media circus that the terrorist, George P. Metesky, engendered.” —The New York Times “Masterfully told . . . a first-rate true-crime story.” —Scott Christianson, author of Bodies of Evidence
The Classification of Quadrilaterals
This monograph reports on an analysis of a small part of the mathematics curriculum, the definitions given to quadrilaterals. This kind of research, which we call micro-curricular analysis, is often undertaken by those who create curriculum, but it is not usually done systematically and it is rarely published. Many terms in mathematics education can be found to have different definitions in mathematics books. Among these are “natural number,” “parallel lines” and “congruent triangles,” “trapezoid” and “isosceles trapezoid,” the formal definitions of the trigonometric functions and absolute value, and implicit definitions of the arithmetic operations addition, subtraction,...

Fichero de un psiquiatra criminalista
"Un psiquiatra estudia a un hombre y puede hacer unas cuantas predicciones razonables acerca de lo que ese hombre realizará en el futuro –cómo va a reaccionar ante tal o cual estímulo, cómo se conducirá en determinada situación -. Lo que yo he hecho ha sido invertir los términos de la profecía. La característica dominante de un psiquiatra es su curiosidad. Se pregunta a la gente. A veces consigue respuestas satisfactorias, otras, no, pero siempre sabe que se encuentra en un vasto terreno desconocido que él y sus colegas solamente han comenzado a explorar. Si el psiquiatra es también criminalista su punto de vista puede ser ligeramente distinto, pero no de un modo fundamental. En este caso su interés se centra en los pensamientos y actos que la sociedad considera erróneos. Trata con hombres y mujeres a los que la sociedad ha condenado. El hecho de que la sociedad los censure ejerce, indudablemente, una influencia en su comportamiento. El psiquiatra-criminalista lo tiene en cuenta junto con los otros factores que conoce". James A. Brussel.
