Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Everything moves. Nothing stays still. And behind it all, unseen forces are at work.A falling apple. A speeding car. A spinning planet. A child on a swing. Every movement in the universe follows a set of hidden rules-and once you learn them, the world around you will never look the same.Motion, Forces, and Everyday Physics pulls back the curtain on the science behind everyday life, turning ordinary moments into powerful discoveries. From velocity and acceleration to friction, momentum, and Newton's laws, this book reveals how motion begins, changes, and stops-and why forces shape everything from the simplest step to the most complex machine. Clear, engaging, and packed with real-world examples, it makes physics feel alive, dramatic, and surprisingly familiar.Whether you're a student, a curious learner, or someone who has always wondered what really makes things move, this book invites you into a world where every push, pull, twist, and collision tells a story.Because once you understand the forces around you, even the most ordinary moments become extraordinary.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. UNSOLVED: When Investigations FailHow 44 Years of Investigation Failure Led to 100+ VictimsWhen Jacob Wetterling disappeared in 1989, police had no suspect. When the Golden State Killer eluded capture for 44 years, investigators pursued dead ends. When O.J. Simpson walked free despite overwhelming evidence, the jury decided the evidence didn't matter.What do these cases reveal about American investigation systems?System Failures: Book 1 examines 10 landmark cases of investigation failure-from the still-missing Wetterling to the serial killer who hid in plain sight for nearly half a century. Through rigorous research and systems-thinking analysis, engineer Stephen Variables traces how institutional fragmentation, inadequate resources, and failed communication enable perpetrators to evade justice.This is not typical true crime entertainment. This is institutional analysis grounded in 200+ authoritative sources and a decade of research.In These Pages: Jacob Wetterling (Perpetrator unknown; victim still missing after 27 years)O.J. Simpson (Jury disbelief despite forensic evidence)JonBenet Ramsey (Institutional bias in high-profile investigation)Scott Peterson (Calculated killer with escape plan nearly executed)Golden State Killer (44-year serial predator finally caught through DNA genealogy)And 5 additional cases revealing systematic patternsWhat You'll Learn: Investigation systems fail not because individual detectives are incompetent-they fail because institutions don't communicate, databases don't share information across jurisdictions, and resources are inadequate.A murder in Sacramento county stays in Sacramento county files. A conviction in military court doesn't reach civilian background checks. A missing child case goes cold because no technology connected it to similar cases.But one breakthrough-forensic genealogy-finally cracked cases that traditional methods couldn't solve.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Every time we say "never again," it happens again.A first-grade classroom in Newtown. A hallway full of armed officers in Uvalde. A movie theater in Aurora. A gay nightclub in Orlando. A music festival in Las Vegas. A young woman crying on the side of a Utah road before she is strangled in the wilderness.We know these cases. We don't know why our systems keep failing to stop them.This book is about that gap.FAILED PREVENTION (Book 2 of the series) takes you inside ten of the most infamous tragedies in modern America-not to relive the horror, but to expose the system design flaws that made them possible: Uvalde and Sandy Hook - where years of warning signs, school failures, and broken door policies ended with children trapped in classrooms and no one coming in time.Virginia Tech and Aurora - where students told counselors and professors enough to scare them, then walked out of therapy and straight into planning.Isla Vista and Pulse - where misogyny, hate, and extremist posturing triggered welfare checks and FBI files. that were quietly closed.Fort Hood and the Boston Marathon - where names were in intelligence systems, emails were in FBI inboxes, and still the bullets and bombs went off.Las Vegas - where a 64-year-old gambler legally built a private arsenal and turned a hotel suite into the deadliest single-shooter attack in U.S. history.Gabby Petito - where a 911 caller reported a man "slapping" a woman, officers watched the body-cam footage we all saw later, called it a "mental health break," and drove away.Who this book is forIf you are a teacher, school leader, cop, dispatcher, clinician, campus staff, security professional, policymaker-or the person in your group who always asks "But what if?"-this book will give you language and examples to push for real change.It will also speak to you if you're simply tired of headlines that say "unimaginable tragedy," when what they really describe is a very predictable system failure.Book 2 is part of a larger project: Book 1 asked why our institutions fail to solve difficult, high-profile cases.Book 2 (this book) asks why they fail to prevent violence when the warning signs are right in front of them.Book 3 - UNCHECKED: When Accountability Fails (coming next) turns the camera on the institutions themselves: what happens after the reports, the apologies, and the promises-and why so many agencies keep making the same mistakes anyway.If you've ever looked at a school shooting, a terror attack, a mass shooting, or a domestic-violence murder and thought, "We saw this coming, so why didn't anyone stop it?", FAILED PREVENTION will show you the answer-and what has to change so we don't keep asking the same question forever.
