Kemper on Kemper is the first-ever collection of "interviews and encounters" with the notorious serial killer, Ed Kemper. The expanded edition includes the complete and never-before-published transcript of the April 1973 Ed Kemper confessions to the Santa Cruz Sheriff's Department. Through newspapers, first-person accounts, and interviews, Kemper on Kemper brings the reader from his early years as a disturbed wayward youth to the murders of his grandparents at age 15 and, later, his slaying of six college coeds before brutally killing his mother and her best friend. This book promises to take the reader on a nightmarish ride through Kemper's mind, as he explains the reasons for his killings with an acute grasp of his psychological make-up and skewed insight on life. He is everything and more that was hinted at in the popular TV series, Mindhunter. This is an essential book to add to your true crime library. Now, in its expanded edition, it is the most definitive book of Kemper interviews and encounters to date.Note: Misspellings in this book occur in the confessional transcripts, as it was published verbatim from the original transcribers of the Sheriff's Department. No attempt has been made to alter that original text.

An important contribution to our understanding of the distribution of retail activities, particularly within cities, this book provides a critical review of the literature on the subject. It points out the major general propositions concerning retailing from the geographical point of view, and identifies key research problems, which need to be examined in order to push forward the frontiers of this sub field of economic geography. It presents a major critique of the central-place model, which has come to hold an important place in the methodology of economic geography, and clearly and decisively shows the model to be static, deterministic, retrospective and of little value for predictive purposes.

On a winter's evening in 2041, 14-year-old Tom arrives at Albans School, tucked away in an isolated Blue Mountains location west of Sydney - a special school for children with disabilities. Tom doesn't speak, can't hear and has no word recognition. Watching Tom's arrival from the school library is Abbey, a book that no one has ever read. Abbey's desperate need to be read drives her to find a way to communicate with Tom and unleashes a terrifying and thrilling adventure. They encounter a global conspiracy using artificial intelligence to control the minds of the younger generation - the inheritors. Together, they forge an exceptional team to fight back, from the very place the global conspirators plan to destroy - imagination. As they confront increasingly perilous challenges, they come to understand why they are like they are and the meaning of partnership. Books become the guiding influence as Tom and Abbey light the flame of self-belief to rise above their limitations. To fight for a new generation's right to freely choose the society in which they want to live and who they want to be.
