TED BUNDY'S GIRLS: INCLUDES MY DEATH ROW PRISON INTERVIEWS WITH TED BUNDY by Dr. Paul Dawson reveals a special emphasis and analysis of Ted Bundy's female victims. This "must read" true crime book focuses on Ted Bundy's sex assaults and murderous encounters with his young women victims. Murder scenes have been recreated based on Dr. Dawson's actual prison interviews with Ted Bundy. Prison interviews are included which present the hair-raising and staggering confessions and livid and X-rated interview comments of the all-American psycho known as the "Campus Killer." He was the all-American college boy murdering mostly all-American college girls. Bundy, a horrifying, mind-boggling puzzle, was one of the most notorious necrophilic-serial-sex killers in the American history of crime. Dr. Dawson brings his forensic-clinical psychologist's perspective to the Ted Bundy prison interviews which he completed in 1988 and are now available for the first time after 30 years. Dr. Dawson conducted a series of interviews with Ted Bundy, poster boy for mass-murder monsters, in 1988 while he was on Death Row in the Florida State Prison at Starke, Florida. Bundy, a slick psychopath without a conscience, was executed in January, 1989. Dr. Dawson provides a rare, exclusive, thrilling, sometimes amusing, and gripping investigation and assessment inside the treacherous, labyrinthine mind of this infamous-serial-sex killer. Bundy's despicable charisma, the horror of his vicious-night-stalker, serial-sex-killer rampage is revealed in depth. Dr. Dawson, in these interviews, exposes Bundy's darkest secrets, elicits rape-murder confessions from Bundy and confronts the murderer of 30 to possibly over 100 young women and girls by probing his mind, examining and challenging Bundy's defenses. Bundy, an enigma, finally answers questions about his devious-sex crimes he's suppressed for many years. Some psychological theories are presented to shine valid, logical light on Bundy's repulsive, depraved, ghastly crimes of assault-abduction, torture-rape, mutilation, murder-necrophilia, dismemberment and cannibalism - at times he ate their flesh. Dr. Dawson earned a Ph.D. in psychology from The New School for Social Research, Graduate Faculty in New York City; has been a psychologist in clinics, schools, mental hospitals; was chief psychologist of a state prison system; has been in private practice & consulting in New York; he has written over 60 books including: ANGELINA JOLIE PSYCHOANALYZED; BIPOLAR ZOO; BIPOLAR JUNGLE; BORDERLINE PERSONALITY DISORDER; BPD RECOVERY; CHARACTER INTELLIGENCE (CI); CAMPUS KILLER'S SECRET OBSESSION; CHARLES MANSON'S GIRLS; FOUR SERIAL KILLERS; GRACE KELLY SESSIONS; HOW TO GET SOBER; JACKIE O SESSIONS; JACKIE ONASSIS IN THERAPY; JFK JR MURDERED; JODI ARIAS; JOHNNY DEPP DIAGNOSED; MANSON INTERVIEWS RAW; MARILYN MONROE DIAGNOSED; MASKS OF A LADY KILLER; MASKS of PREDATORS; MASKS of SEX PREDATORS; MASKS of TED BUNDY; MY PRINCESS DIANA THERAPY SESSIONS; MY TED BUNDY INTERVIEWS RAW!; NARCOTERRORIST PSYCHOPATHS; PRINCESS DIANA DIAGNOSED; PSYCHOLOGY OF HIDDEN INFLUENCE; PSYCHOLOGY of MEN WHO ABUSE WOMEN; PSYCHOPATHS; ROCK STARS DIAGNOSED; ROYAL SESSIONS; ROYAL SESSIONS 2; ROYAL SESSIONS 3; SERIAL KILLERS; SERIAL KILLERS 2; SERIAL KILLERS 3; SEX CRIMES; SEX, LOVE & SMART DATING; SKULL SCRAPERS: A CAMILLE LAURENT THRILLER (series of thriller novels); SPIES & ASSASSINS; SPIRITUAL THERAPY; TED BUNDY'S DEATH ROW CONFESSIONS; TERRORIST IMPERATIVE; THE MASKS OF KARLA HOMOLKA.

Though other books have been written about kitchen science, On Food and Cooking remains unmatched in the accuracy, clarity, and thoroughness of its explanations, and the intriguing way in which it blends science with the historical evolution of foods and cooking techniques. Among the major themes addressed throughout the new edition are: · Traditional and modern methods of food production and their influences on food quality · The great diversity of methods by which people in different places and times have prepared the same ingredients · Tips for selecting the best ingredients and preparing them successfully · The particular substances that give foods their flavors, and that give us pleasure · Our evolving knowledge of the health benefits and risks of foods On Food and Cooking is an invaluable and monumental compendium of basic information about ingredients, cooking methods, and the pleasures of eating.
