As "animal factories" go, the Ohio Penitentiary was one of the
worst. For 150 years, it housed some of the most dangerous
criminals in the United States, including murderers, madmen and
mobsters. Peer in on America's first vampire, accused of sucking
his victims' blood five years before Bram Stoker's fictional
villain was even born; peek into the cage of the original Prison
Demon; and witness the daring escape of John Hunt Morgan's band of
Confederate prisoners. Uncover the full extent of mayhem and
madness locked away in one of history's most notorious
maximum-security prisons.
In Historic Columbus Crimes, the father-daughter team of David
Meyers and Elise Meyers Walker looks back at sixteen tales of
murder, mystery and mayhem culled from city history. Take the rock
star slain by a troubled fan or the drag queen slashed to death by
a would-be ninja. Then there's the writer who died acting out the
plot of his next book, the minister's wife incinerated in the
parsonage furnace and a couple of serial killers who outdid the Son
of Sam. Not to mention a gunfight at Broad and High, grave-robbing
medical students, the bloodiest day in FBI history and other
fascinating stories of crime and tragedy. They're all here, and
they're all true
Modern videography provides an ever-widening window into subsea
echinoderm life with vast potential for new knowledge. Supported by
video evidence throughout, this Element begins with time-lapse
video made in 1983 on film, using an off-the-shelf camera, flash,
and underwater housings. Although quality has now been
significantly improved by digital imagery, films from over thirty
years ago captured crinoid feeding behavior previously unknown and
demonstrated a great potential to learn about many other aspects of
their biology. This sequence is followed by several examples of
recent digital videography from submersibles of deep-sea crinoids
and remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) (stalked and unstalked), as
well as close-up video of crinoids in aquaria. These recent studies
enabled a new classification of crinoid arm postures, provided
detailed views of food particle capture, and revealed a wide range
of behaviors in taxa never before seen in life.
The first narrative biography of the Bee Gees, the phenomenally
popular vocal group that has sold more than 200 million records
worldwide--sales in the company of the Beatles and Michael Jackson.
"The Bee Gees" is the epic family saga of brothers Barry, Robin,
and Maurice Gibb, and it's riddled with astonishing
highs--especially as they became the definitive band of the disco
era, fueled by "Saturday Night Fever" and crashing lows, including
the tragic drug-fueled downfall of youngest brother, Andy. In
recent years, a whole new generation of fans has rediscovered the
undeniable grooves and harmonies that made the Bee Gees and songs
like "Stayin' Alive," "How Deep is Your Love," "To Love Somebody,"
and "I Started a Joke" timeless.
