Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. The Irish Republic has been horrified by the recent crime wave and the brutality of some of the incidents involved. This work provides an insight into the criminal mind - the mind of the murderer, rapist, arsonist or child sex abuser. It also examines in detail the effects such crimes have on the minds of their victims. Composite and fictionalized case histories are used to bring to life the facts about criminal behaviour. Some of the cases outlined pose the following questions: why did a man who murdered his wife say at his trial, "I have killed the only woman I ever loved"; why did one man rape a woman, and expect to go on a date with her the following night; and why did a particular man beat his wife for ten minutes on the morning after their wedding? Art O'Connor's work with criminals and victims reveals the following facts: 95 per cent of all crimes are committed by men; approximately 60 per cent of convicted rapists are intoxicated at the time of the offence; approximately 50 per cent of fathers convicted of incest have alcohol problems; and arsonists get a sexual thrill from fire-setting. The book outlines how a forensic psychiatrist looks at crime issues and how victims and offenders can be helped. It looks at age-old issues, written for the general public, as well as for professionals and volunteers working with offenders and victims of crime. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.…

Paperback: 7" x 4½". Condizione: Good: Moderate signs of wear. 1997 Edition. © 1996: 5th in the 'Gap' series of books. Unknown publication date. 3rd printing of 1997 edition:- Synopsis: The Sunday Times bestseller. Hailed as his greatest work ever, Stephen Donaldson's best-selling 'Gap' series is rapidly attaining the status of a classic. Now one of the most exhilarating space epics ever told comes to a shattering climax in a thrilling tale of high adventure, powerful emotion and labyrinthine intrigue. As the conflict between humankind and the Amnion aliens heads for crisis, Morn Hyland, cyborg Angus Thermopyle and the survivors on board the crippled starship 'Trumpet' must return from deep space to Earth. Only they can prevent the titanic struggle between UMCP director Warden Dios and Holt Fasner, the corrupt head of the UMC, from precipitating all-out war with the Amnion - and leaving humanity to pay a terrible price. As Dios in Earth's orbit and Morn in deep space both make far-reaching decisions, the Amnion act with swift fury, and suddenly Earth stands threatened with fiery destruction:- Review(s): "Maniacally gripping.

On board were Morn Hyland and her force grown son Davies, cyborg Angus Thermopyle and Captain Nick Succorso - old enemies thrown together in a desperate bid for survival. For both the Amnion and the UMC Police the immediate capture of the fleeing ship and the secrets it contained was imperative. But for Trumpet's exhausted crew the only hope lay in an illegal lab in a distant binary solar system of Valdor Industrial. It would be a journey of unpredictable danger - from which not all would return:- Review(s): "From one of the bestselling imaginative authors of all time comes 'Chaos And Order', the magnificent fourth volume in Stephen Donaldson's science-fiction masterwork. the 'Gap' series - a darkly thrilling space adventure as vast as the galaxy and as unpredictable as the human heart" / "The best work of his career - the best space opera available.

Having fallen in with Koosh Begee and his gang of tricksters, he's fallen to gambling. And he's lost.

Morn Hyland had survived a terrible ordeal at the hands of one space pirate, only to find herself trapped in the ship of another, surrounded by hostile, unfriendly faces. Nick Succorso had rescued her, but for what purpose? He and his crew were all illegals, and she was a cop - a cop with gap-sickness. Just having her on board would put all their lives at risk. But Nick knew that Morn possessed something that could be of value to them all - and he had every intention of exploiting it. As she struggled to recover from her shattering experiences, Morn would hear increasingly shocking tales of corruption in the UMCP, and even more alarming rumours of a shadowy alien life force - the Amnion - with their all-consuming mutagens. All too soon, on the long and hazardous voyage to forbidden space, the bizarre stories would become horrifying reality.
