Book Description
The true story based on the diaries of murderer Michel Oros. Originally, after the fatal shootout with Oros at Teslin Lake, I had no intention of writing this book. In fact, when Garry Rodgers and I sat in the Skeena Pub after he got back and discussed the details of his experience, the very idea that someone might write the story - glorifying Oros, sensationalizing the murders and trivializing Mike Buday's death - was repugnant. Black and white reprint.

Journeys Into Madness
Author: Gemma Blackshaw
Publisher: Berghahn Books
ISBN: 0857454595
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 221
Book Description
At the turn of the century, Sigmund Freud’s investigation of the mind represented a particular journey into mental illness, but it was not the only exploration of this ‘territory’ in the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Sanatoriums were the new tourism destinations, psychiatrists were collecting art works produced by patients and writers were developing innovative literary techniques to convey a character’s interior life. This collection of essays uses the framework of journeys in order to highlight the diverse artistic, cultural and medical responses to a peculiarly Viennese anxiety about the madness of modern times. The travellers of these journeys vary from patients to doctors, artists to writers, architects to composers and royalty to tourists; in engaging with their histories, the contributors reveal the different ways in which madness was experienced and represented in ‘Vienna 1900’.

Method in the Madness
Author: Parameswaran Iyer
Publisher: Harper Collins
ISBN: 9390327571
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 255
Book Description
Parameswaran Iyer, former Secretary to the Government of India, is best known for leading the implementation of the Swachh Bharat Mission (SBM) - Prime Minister Narendra Modi's flagship programme, which became the world's largest sanitation revolution. But Iyer is not your typical bureaucrat. With a far-from-usual career combining two distinguished tenures in the government and an eventful stint outside it, he likes to describe himself as an uncommon 'Insider-Outsider-Insider'. In Method in the Madness, he reflects on the unique path he chose - from cracking the IAS to becoming a globe-trotting World Bank technocrat, to playing the role of a coach to his professional tennis-playing children, to finally returning to India and implementing the SBM. Written with humour and wisdom, this is an inspiring read full of key management insights, practical career advice, and valuable life lessons that will resonate with readers across age groups and professions.

Book Description
This book takes you through a mind in turmoil; experience the twisted road that is my life. I attempt to find normalcy amidst psychosis. Where is the balance between family and madness? Like my mind, there is no order; it is a random mess that ends as it should. Can you find the meaning in the meaningless? This is the question that you will need to answer. There is no place in the world for free thinkers; they are labeled ill and quickly given the medicine that molds them into faceless consumers. Sit back, find the riddles and the tragedy within this poet of wonder.
