Fatal Females
In Fatal Females, investigative psychologist and former police profiler Micki Pistorius examines the minds and motives of women who kill. Throughout history the view seems to have prevailed that it is not in women's nature to commit violent crime, but Pistorius shows that this is not in fact the case. Women, givers of life, are indeed capable of ruthlessly taking life. She examines more than fifty documented cases of South African female killers, categorised according to the nature of the crime - for example, infanticide, spree killings, stalkers, poisoners - and she presents her new hypothesis to explain the psychology of that rare individual, the female serial killer.
Comprehensive Emergency Mental Health Care
This is a reprint of a previously published work. It deals with what was in 1996 state-of-the-art, community-based, mobile emergency mental health services and treatment--whether in the street, the patient's home, a temporary shelter, the emergency room or a clinic.
Nuclear Rogue
Russian terrorists pirate a nuclear missile, and conceal it in an abandoned mine shaft in the barren and remote Canadian Arctic. The missiles target: an entire seat of government. The terrorists intend to wipe out the old world political order and establish the new order, with themselves in control. Three panicked governments become aware of the countdown to nuclear disaster, but denial, disinformation, and betrayals create too many questions. The governments delay and quickly slide into incompetence and inaction. Assigned to explore for gold in the Arctic, Peter Binder, a geologist, stumbles on the terrorists and unearths the explosive truth of their plot. A former Navy SEAL, Peter struggle...
Semiparametric Regression
Semiparametric regression is concerned with the flexible incorporation of non-linear functional relationships in regression analyses. Any application area that benefits from regression analysis can also benefit from semiparametric regression. Assuming only a basic familiarity with ordinary parametric regression, this user-friendly book explains the techniques and benefits of semiparametric regression in a concise and modular fashion. The authors make liberal use of graphics and examples plus case studies taken from environmental, financial, and other applications. They include practical advice on implementation and pointers to relevant software. The 2003 book is suitable as a textbook for students with little background in regression as well as a reference book for statistically oriented scientists such as biostatisticians, econometricians, quantitative social scientists, epidemiologists, with a good working knowledge of regression and the desire to begin using more flexible semiparametric models. Even experts on semiparametric regression should find something new here.

In the unprecedented times we find ourselves in during 2020, An Immigrant's Tale takes a look back a century ago at an even more tumultuous time in world history, through the lens of the Atienza family, who immigrated to the Unites States from Spain in 1920. This family suffered through the Great Depression in America, managed to immigrate back home to Spain, only to soon be forced to endure through the Spanish Civil War and the subsequent Franco repression. This is a tale of unspeakable tragedy, perseverance, and finally, redemption.
Maria's Keepers
Maria is a young woman raised as a Jehovah’s Witness in South Africa, and this book documents her experiences of gender victimisation, sexual abuse and cover-ups within the church, as well as her eventual ‘escape’ from its doctrines and control. Maria’s freedom came at a price, however – she can never see her mother and sister again. Entering the church is easy, but leaving it can be a matter of life or death, as Maria and countless others discovered ...
