It doesn't take a genius to commit a crime, but it takes a special
kind of stupid to get yourself caught, as the criminals in this
book prove. This book boasts 50 bite-sized bios with bungling,
bone-headed burglars, embezzlers, and bank robbers. From bragging
about your crimes on police Facebook pages to dialing 911 while
stealing a car, these people prove that an idiot can commit a
crime, but probably shouldn't.
The author has thoroughly revised the second edition. Dreams enrich
us with their pictorial and sensitive language. Dreams amplify our
consciousness by informing the dreamer about his conflicts,
feelings of guilt, wishes and instincts. The psychiatrist Dr.
Flottmann researched 45.000 dreams by means of the computer and his
great experience in psychotherapy. For many dream symbols new
scientific meanings have been found.
