The legendary Jack the Ripper murdered as many as ten women between the years of 1887 and 1891 in the East End of London. The debate over his true identity has never been resolved. The unbiased history of the different suspects, including two women, will give even the novice reader the basic ground to make an informed decision regarding the identity of the Whitechapel Murderer. Suspects include influential artist Walter Sickert, children's author Lewis Carroll, Randolph Henry Spencer Churchill (father of Winston Churchill), and others ranging from doctors and politicians to wandering lunatics.  Listed alphabetically, the encyclopedic entries provide historical features such as major events in a suspect’s life, a complete chronology surrounding the case for particular suspects, suspects’ biographical data, and a basic analysis of the relevant theories. The entries explain and analyze the suspect’s particular connection to the case and describe theorists and research that have contributed to the suspect’s positive or negative candidacy as a viable suspect. Within these pages may lie the true name of Jack the Ripper—the author places all the available facts before the reader, leaving him to draw his own conclusions.

The idea behind The 50 Best Movies for the Movie Fan was for the author to express his subjective opinions on the best English language films in cinema history, ranked from number 50 down to number 1... but it became much more than that. Stan Russo has chosen to critique, analyze or just plain talk about close to 500 movies in total, including a number of foreign films that have impacted hardcore cinema fans and the top movie lists from two other well-known sources. Russo hopes to spark debate with his choices. While every movie fan will no doubt challenge aspects of this list, the goal of this volume is to be exposed to great films that may have been overlooked.

<p>This book contains a subjective ranking of the 50 most significant men and women throughout recorded history. The author, Stan Russo, conducted more than four years of meticulous research on 500 important figures throughout the ages before settling on this list. Each person's reasons for inclusion are described in a countdown format leading up to the most significant individual. The book not only provides an educational and entertaining look at numerous cultures and time periods in the process but also builds suspense with each page as readers guess which person comes next and why. After the top ranked name is revealed, the author then provides his rationale for why other famous men and women did not make the cut. This book is an excellent resource for educators and all fans of history by serving as a starting point for further debate and discussion. Reintroduce the fun back into historical studies. Learn about individuals who might otherwise have gone unrecognized. See if your own favorite figures from history made the list. Whether you agree or disagree with the choices and the order they are listed in, you'll think about history in new ways.</p>
