Is Charlie Chaplin a true "rags-to-riches" story or a "sad clown"? He was a "purist" in the sense of being a perfectionist who carefully coordinated all the elements involved in the making of movies - the direction, production, the acting, and even the music. Chaplin came from a background of dire poverty, and the flavor of the common man and the plight of poor people permeated his movies, especially his trademark character, the "Little Tramp." That accounted for much of his popular appeal. When he was only 26-years-old, he negotiated a half-a-million-dollar contract Chaplin had a wild love life, and sometimes impregnated women whom he married out of obligation. He was a very good-looking man when young and quite charming. For him, women were easy to love. Most of the women he dated or married starred with him in his films, and they were, as a matter of fact, quite beautiful.Inside you'll read aboutFrugal YearsScandalous Love LifeThe Epitome of Chaplin's Political SatireChaplin: A Communist?

Nikola Tesla and Thomas Edison are two giants of electrical engineering. Their inventions changed history. But the electricity between the two is no secret to the world. This book will give a full account of Tesla's life, drawing from multiple sources, including his own autobiography, which he published in parts many years ago. It will review his life; his way of thinking - including both his moments of genius and his moments of odd or unusual behavior that many also know him for; and the work he did, which many have forgotten, but which is now recognized for its important influence on the progress of scientific development. Thomas is still remembered as one of the greatest inventors of all time, and perhaps the greatest that America has ever produced. In truth, Edison was a man who invented a lot of things while bringing about incredible advancements in many other things. With the stock ticker, the telegraph, the light bulb, and motion picture, he may not have invented them, but he improved on them beyond any recognition. They would not be the technologies they were today without Edison's great mind working on them.Inside you'll read aboutNikola Tesla. A Brilliant MindNikola Tesla. A Troubled MindNikola Tesla.

However, he might also be thought of as a "lone wolf" in not only his personal life but also in the scientific and technological world.

Thomas Edison seems to be remembered these days either the man who invented the light bulb or the man who didn't. Without knowing any more about him, you are either giving him false praise for something he didn't do or not considering all the other work he did.

This book is about two Roman Emperors. Marcus Aurelius was an outstanding person and Emperor of Ancient Rome. He was far more concerned with ways of thinking than with warfare. Being a small boy, he applied himself to task with education. Marcus preferred others over himself, putting his own welfare aside for the good of other people. His nature is obvious in his kindness and consideration for others; but his sharp intelligence is also evident in his writing and in his excellence in jurisprudence. People called him a Great Emperor and a Philosopher King. The name Caligula has come down to us in the modern world as one of these terrible people. His name is instantly associated with madness and cruelty. Roman historians, some virtually his contemporaries, listed him as one of the worst emperors that Rome ever had. He has been portrayed in ancient sources as tyrannical, sexually deviant, cruel, and given to the sort of personal and financial excesses that would make even Marie Antoinette blush.Inside you'll read aboutThe Young MarcusMarcus Aurelius.

Its aim is to not only describe the historical events of his life, but also to delve into his character. It explores who the man really was, especially the contrast between the high station thrust upon him and the simplicity he longed for. We will examine the stories about Caligula as they have come to us from historians like Suetonius, Cassius Dio and Tacitus. Then we will examine a new interpretation of the same evidence put forward by German historian Aloys Winterling.

Who knows, by the law of averages and the millions of hours that have been put in by authors, investigators and criminal historians across the globe, there is a fair chance we may hit upon the culprit.
