In Beijing in 1904, multiple murderer Wang Weiqin became one of the last to suffer the extreme punishment known as lingchi, called by Western observers “death by a thousand cuts.” This is the first book to explore the history, iconography, and legal contexts of Chinese tortures and executions from the 10th century until lingchi’s abolition in 1905.

Putting the current crisis of democracy into historical perspective, Death by a Thousand Cuts chronicles how would-be despots, dictators, and outright tyrants have finessed the techniques of killing democracies earlier in history, in the 20th Century, and how today’s autocrats increasingly continue to do so in the 21st. It shows how autocratic government becomes a kleptocracy, sustained only to enrich the ruler and his immediate family. But the book also addresses the problems of being a dictator and considers if dictatorships are successful in delivering public policies, and finally, how autocracies break down. We tend to think of democratic breakdowns as dramatic events, such as General Pinochet’s violent coup in Chile, or Generalissimo Franco’s overthrow of the Spanish Republic. But this is not how democracies tend to die – only five percent of democracies end like this. Most often, popular government is brought down gradually; almost imperceptibly. Based in part on Professor Qvortrup’s BBC Programme Death by a Thousand Cuts (Radio-4, 2019), the book shows how complacency is the greatest danger for the survival of government by the people. Recently democratically elected politicians have used crises as a pretext for dismantling democracy. They follow a pattern we have seen in all democracies since the dawn of civilisation. The methods used by Octavian in the dying days of the Roman Republic were almost identical to those used by Hungarian strongman Viktor Orbán in 2020. And, sadly, there are no signs that the current malaise will go away. Death by a Thousand Cuts adds substance to a much-discussed topic: the threat to democracy. It provides evidence and historical context like no other book on the market. Written in an accessible style with vignettes as well as new empirical data, the books promises to be the defining book on the topic. This book will help readers who are concerned about the longevity of democracy understand when and why democracy is in danger of collapsing, and alert them to the warning signs of its demise.

The Hawthorne House was once known for its remarkable success rate with autistic children. Now, fifteen years after it closed former residents have returned to Hawthorne House for their first-ever reunion. But the gala event turns into a bloody nightmare when the House's revered founder, Dr. Jay Schermerhorn, is found tortured to death in the mansion's basement. Schermerhorn had enjoyed a worldwide reputation for his innovative methods and compassionate treatment of autistic children. How could anyone have hated him enough to kill him? As Chicago detectives probe deeply into the history of Hawthorne House, a troubling picture emerges--of a man who inspired both fear and hatred in the children and families who came to him for help.

If you feel frustrated because all you do is work, yet do not seem to reap the rewards of your hard work while others live the life of absolute luxury, wealth and power without working, this book will show you why. It covers many different subjects, and will build you the mind's eye of the complex structure of the system, which is designed to strip you of your wealth, and give it to those in power. This book has been written to be read from start to finish first, and then used as reference, because there is way too much detail to rely on memory alone to remember. Such topics are as follows: Money, The Banking System, Tax, GDP, Debating Techniques, Gas-lighting, Free speech, Propaganda, Politics, Religion, Multiculturalism, Racism, Welfare, Rights, Law, Fractional Reserve Banking, Debt as money, National Debt, Quantitative Easing, Derivatives, World Reserve Currency, War, Wage Compression, Education, Bitcoin and many more. Do not worry if these topics seem daunting or intimidating to you, academia has designed them to be this way so you will fear trying to learn them, but each topic has been distilled down to a very short chapter, and detailed in a way to make it very clear and easy to understand. Do not fear knowledge, as knowledge will make you fearless.

This memoir, written in novel form, is the true story of a legal immigrant family that had a price on its head, a dream in their hearts and a chance to come to America. The Wetzels were Dutch-Indonesian colonists living in South East Asia until 1950 when they made a harrowing escape from Muslim rebel insurgents in Indonesia and fled back to Holland. It includes family pictures and exclusive historical photos and brings transparency and truth to a complicated family history and disparages past vicious rumors and attempts to rewrite the history of the Wetzel family. Their journey brought them from Holland to the United States in 1956 where the family patriarch, Willy Wetzel, built an American dynasty around a successful family business bringing a previously close kept secret of Indonesian style martial arts to mainstream America. As children, Wim and his younger brothers and sister were trained and groomed to be the first Poekoelan Tjimindie karate instructors in the United States. As Willy Wetzel's oldest son, Wim takes the reader on a unique tumultuous journey through their family history and his personal experiences while walking in his father's shadow. He reveals his personal challenges and triumphs over a brutally dysfunctional family, undiagnosed dyslexia, typhoid fever, and the brothers coming of age while being engaged in the bloodiest battles of the Viet Nam war. The sons returned home from war with life altering injuries and were greeted by a family in crisis that was so intense that his brother Roy is forced to take their father's life in self-defense in order to save his own life and the life of his daughter. It is a story of family love and forgiveness and as the oldest son, Wim tells his personal story beyond his father's death and walks the reader through the good and bad choices that he made throughout his life.

The Tears of Eros is the culmination of Georges Bataille's inquiries into the relationship between violence and the sacred. Taking up such figures as Giles de Rais, Erzebet Bathory, the Marquis de Sade, El Greco, Gustave Moreau, Andre Breton, Voodoo practitioners, and Chinese torture victims, Bataille reveals their common obsession: death. This essay, illustrated with artwork from every era, was developed out of ideas explored in Erotism: Death and Sexuality and Prehistoric Painting: Lascaux or the Birth of Art. In it Bataille examines death--the ""little death"" that follows sexual climax, the proximate death in sadomasochistic practices, and death as part of religious ritual and sacrifice. Georges Bataille was born in Billom, France, in 1897. He was a librarian by profession. Also a philosopher, novelist, and critic he was founder of the College of Sociology. In 1959, Bataille began The Tears of Eros, and it was completed in 1961, his final work. Bataille died in 1962.
