ESCAPE FROM ALCATRAZ: True Stories of Jail Breaks and Great EscapesDespite their place in popular culture, jail breaks are an incredibly daring prospect for any criminal to undertake. In most countries, escaping from jail is a very serious offence and will certainly result in a harsher punishment once the subject has been re-captured. Depending on the severity of the crime for which the offender was originally imprisoned, an attempted jail break can result in a significantly longer sentence.The cases covered in this volume are a combination of those prisoners who went to extreme lengths in order to free themselves from the confines of jail, those who broke free as a declaration of their innocence, and those who simply pounded at the first opportunity to escape. The fascination of each case cannot be over-stated, as well as the unimaginable bravery and audacity each one required.

Time-Harmonic Electromagnetic Fields A Classic Reissue in the IEEE Press Series on Electromagnetic Wave Theory Donald G. Dudley, Series Editor "When I begin a new research project, I clear my desk and put away all texts and reference books. Invariably, Harrington's book is the first book to find its way back to my desk. My copy is so worn that it is falling apart."--Dr. Kendall F. Casey, SRI "In the opinion of our faculty, there is no other book available that serves as well as Professor Harrington's does as an introduction to advanced electromagnetic theory and to classic solution methods in electromagnetics."--Professor Chalmers M. Butler, Clemson University First published in 1961, Roger Harrington's Time-Harmonic Electromagnetic Fields is one of the most significant works in electromagnetic theory and applications. Over the past forty years, it proved to be a key resource for students, professors, researchers, and engineers who require a comprehensive, in-depth treatment of the subject. Now, IEEE is reissuing the classic in response to requests from our many members, who found it an invaluable textbook and an enduring reference for practicing engineers. About the IEEE Press Series on Electromagnetic Wave Theory The IEEE Press Series on Electromagnetic Wave Theory offers outstanding coverage of the field. It consists of new titles of contemporary interest as well as reissues and revisions of recognized classics by established authors and researchers. The series emphasizes works of long-term archival significance in electromagnetic waves and applications.

HARD JUSTICE: Alcatraz, Conviction and Innocent: Wrongfully Accused on Death Row - 3 Books in 1Featuring… *Alcatraz*Conviction*Innocent3 Great Books in 1!AlcatrazDespite their place in popular culture, jail breaks are an incredibly daring prospect for any criminal to undertake.

The fascination of each case cannot be over-stated, as well as the unimaginable bravery and audacity each one required.ConvictionIn 2016 alone, a grand total of 166 wrongly convicted people were declared innocent throughout the year. The most recent imprisonment of these people was made in 2010, and the farthest back was 1964. Including the 166 overturned convictions from 2016, a total of 2,000 wrongly convicted inmates have been awarded freedom since 1989 (the first year which records began). To the general public, it may seem like overturned convictions are few and far between, however, given the statistics, this isn’t the case at all. It begs the question as to why most people will recognise the names of Amanda Knox, Meredith Kercher, Casey Anthony and the West Memphis Three, but may not be familiar with Kirk Bloodsworth, Thomas Kennedy or James Richardson. This book charts the true stories of a collection of the most notable wronInnocentStatistics show that no less than 4 percent of those that are on death row today are innocent. In the first study of its kind, a team concluded that our of the 8000 men and women who have been sentenced to death row since the 1970s, at least 200 of those were innocent. The numbers, of course, are very conservative. However, the number shows that it is possible that there have been more than 200 people put to death for crimes that they have never committed and the real criminal went unpunished. This is a very disturbing statistic because it proves that despite our best efforts to prove that justice is served, a large number of innocent people have been put to death. Sadly, this study does not solve the largest issue when it comes to the death penalty and that is exactly how many innocent people have been convicted of crimes and put to death for them. If you take the time to really look at the numbers you will get an idea of just how many errors are being made. It is hard for any of us to believe that an innocent person has been executed, however, this study proves that it does happen. Of course, we have all heard the stories of those that were executed and then found to later be innocent, however, it is usually by chance that it is found that these people are innocent. You see, there is no way for us to know how many of the over 1400 people who have been executed since 1976 were innocent. Once the defendant is dead, no one works to find evidence to exonerate the dead. This is the shocking true story of 12 inmates, executed on death row who were thought to have been innocent. If they didn't do the crime, what does that say about justice?

How To Get Away With Murder: Evil Masterminds Who Evaded Capture"There appear to be two types of situations in which one can be said to literally get away with murder. The first, and most common, is that the killer remained unknown until his criminal activity stopped. The second is that the killer was apprehended and tried, but was found innocent due to lack of evidence, loopholes in the justice system, or some other type of underhanded tactic.The cases which follow are all instances in which a perpetrator of a horrific crime evaded capture and continued to live their lives without repercussion. For each case, the actual truth is entirely unknown, and there exists the very real possibility that the killer (or killers) were imprisoned, died or suffered a similar deserved fate once their crimes ceased."Contains shocking true stories of evil murderers who got off scot-free, including serial killers who still remain at large. How To Get Away With Murder paints the true stories of some of the most horrific criminals to escape true justice.

SPIES: True Spy Stories - Hidden In Plain SightThe concept of real life spies is one that is equally fascinating as it is rooted in mystery. Considering the obviously secretive nature of the job we don't truly know exactly what these individuals do until they either retire from a legitimate intelligence career. While the job title of spy has been retired for the more modernized titles of “covert investigator” or simply “intelligence”, the career path is still very much valid. With ever evolving technology and increased worldwide threats of terrorism, today spies have a more dangerous job than ever. The modern spy is employed by government intelligence agencies such as the CIA and KBG. These individuals must have extensive training in military and/or law enforcement as well as have abilities to work various jobs undercover. History has proven that not all successful spies and those convicted of espionage have to be highly trained professionals. Many are ordinary people chosen to gather intelligence for their respective countries. This book is based on true spy stories, and the real life tales of the covert operators in our midst - hidden in plain sight.

REAL LIFE GANGSTERS: Pablo Escobar and Al Capone - 2 Books in 1 Featuring… *Pablo Escobar *Al Capone 2 Great Books in 1! Pablo Escobar The city of Medellin is the second-largest in the South American nation of Columbia. It is nestled in the Aburra Valley in the Andes ranges. On December 2 1992 citizens of the district of Los Olivos heard gunshots from the rooftops. They saw two men running across the orange – tiled roofs, pursued by a group of armed and uniformed men. A short gunfight ensued. Soon eight armed men, officers of the National Columbian Police, posed for photographs, brandishing weapons and smiling over the bloody corpse of a 44 year old man. That man was Pablo Emilia Escobar Gaviria, known in the annals of infamy simply as Pablo Escobar. He had been the most powerful drug lord in Colombia and one of the most notorious in the world. He was so pernicious that for a time he was number one on the hit list of the United States. He controlled the cocaine trade in the United States. He used wealth and terror to dominate Columbian politics and destroy his enemies. He openly flaunted his fantastic wealth, believing that he was untouchable. But there he was, a bare-footed, bloody corpse, his executioners shouting ‘Viva Columbia! Viva Columbia!’ Al Capone Despite Capone’s violent career and the brutality of his past, there is an on-going fascination with his life. Many fictitious characters have been modelled on him and the term ‘mobster’ or ‘gangster’ invariably conjures up an image of Al Capone. There have been plenty of books and articles covering his life and some of these have been made into films. In real life, Capone’s influence was enough to change the law in order to deal with him. The 1927 Supreme Court ruling that income tax was due on criminal earnings was intended to help the authorities trap criminals and was instrumental in Capone’s eventual downfall. This is the true story of the life and criminal career of Al Capone, the original American gangster, and one of the most feared criminals ever to have lived.
