A young Long Island couple are separating and can no longer afford
to keep their prized 26-foot racing sloop. For old times' sake,
they decide to take one last excursion, sailing to the marina where
the boat's new owner waits, never knowing the ill-fated cruise will
be their last.
Why do firms in high technology industries cluster at particular locations? The authors examine whether firms grow faster at such locations, and whether disproportionately more new firms are created in clusters. They compare the clustering process in the UK and the US in both computing and biotechnology, and investigate the policy implications.
On February 25, 1957, the nude, badly bruised body of a young boy
was found in a cardboard box in trash-strewn woods of north
Philadelphia. Posters of the "Boy in the Box" soon dotted the city
and police stations nationwide--to no avail. In November 1998 the
remains were exhumed for DNA analysis, and the boy was reburied as
"America's Unknown Child." "The Boy in the Box" is the first book
to examine America's most famous unsolved case of child murder--one
that led to the "Stranger Danger" child safety campaign and a "Law
& Order" episode. Written in a fast-paced style and featuring
never-before-seen photos, it examines half a century of shocking
and mysterious events surrounding the discovery of the body. David
Stout presents a timeline interwoven with flashbacks, theories,
media reports, first-hand interviews, and urban myths--taking us
back to the year America lost its innocence forever.

A chilling true crime book that chronicles the wave of abductions
that terrorized the U.S. during the Great Depression, including the
most infamous kidnapping case in American history. "A thrilling
account that puts the 1932 Lindbergh baby kidnapping case, billed
as "the crime of the century," in the context of the thousands of
other kidnappings that occurred in the U.S. during the Prohibition
and Depression eras...will enthrall true crime fans."-Publishers
Weekly, STARRED review The Great Depression was a time of
desperation in America-parents struggled to feed their children and
unemployment was at a record high. Adding to the lawlessness of the
decade, thugs with submachine guns and corrupt law-enforcement
officers ran rampant. But amidst this panic, there was one
sure-fire way to make money, one used by criminals and resourceful
civilians alike: kidnapping. Jump into this forgotten history with
Edgar Award-winning author David Stout as he explores the reports
of missing people that inundated newspapers at the time. Learn the
horrifying details of these abduction cases, from the methods used
and the investigative processes to the personal histories of the
culprits and victims. All of this culminates with the most infamous
kidnapping in American history, the one that targeted an
international celebrity and changed legislation forever: the
Lindbergh kidnapping. The Kidnap Years is a gritty, visceral,
thoughtfully reported page-turner that chronicles the sweep of
abductions that afflicted all corners of the country as desperate
people were pushed to do the unthinkable. "A fascinating crime book
like no other."-David Cay Johnston, Pulitzer Prize-winning
journalist
