Described as the "ultimate engineer" during his career at NASA, George M. Low was a visionary architect and leader from the agency's inception in 1958 to his retirement in 1976. As chief of manned spaceflight at NASA, Low was instrumental in the Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo programs. Low's pioneering work paved the way for President Kennedy's decision to make a lunar landing NASA's primary goal in the 1960s.

An Excellent Biography of an Underrated Engineer
Revisado: 04-15-24
Likes:
Finally, well researched and written book about one of the most important - and little known - men behind the success of Apollo.
Dislike:
Only one.
The narrator keeps mispronouncing “S-IVB”, the second stage of the Saturn IB, and third stage of the Saturn V.
IT’S PRONOUNCED “S-FOUR-B”, NOT “S-1-V-B”!

Revisiting Dr. Michael Stone's groundbreaking 22-level Gradations of Evil Scale, a hierarchy of evil behavior first introduced in the book The Anatomy of Evil, Stone and Dr. Gary Brucato, a fellow violence and serious psychopathology expert, here provide even more detail, using dozens of cases to exemplify the categories along the continuum. The New Evil also presents compelling evidence that, since a cultural tipping-point in the 1960s, certain types of violent crime have emerged that in earlier decades never or very rarely occurred.

Many problems and questions.
Revisado: 10-10-21
I agree with several other reviewers who point out that this book quickly devolves into leftist propaganda:
1. Stone and Brucato pass off the rise in serial murder as being due to “male anger at women’s newfound rights”. Ok, but how does that explain the pre-50’s killers like Jack the Ripper or H. H. Holmes, among MANY pre-3rd wave feminist movement serial killers?
How about the concurrent rise in HOMOSEXUAL serial killers? For every Bundy there was a Gacy. For every DeSalvo a Dahmer. For every Bittner and Norris or Bianchi and Buono a Dean Corll and crew. These murderers had NOTHING WHATSOEVER TO DO WITH WOMEN!
2. Guns. Ladies and gentlemen, to rehash for the ONE MILLIONTH TIME: Americans have had easy - in fact EASIER - access to guns for generations prior to our time. Yet these mass shootings are a recent phenomenon (yes, there were mass shootings, but they were far, far fewer and farther between than in the last 30 years).
All in all, a major disappointment, given how good “The Anatomy of Evil” and the “Most Evil” TV series were. This time, they seemed to have fit the research to suit their political views.

Ted Bundy’s Murderous Mysteries is a deep-dive into the archival record of the America’s most notorious serial killer. It’s a veritable goldmine of information on Bundy, his victims, and this very voluminous case. Written by the foremost authority on Ted Bundy, this latest examination of this brutal serial killer contains new, revealing, and never-before-published interviews with those close to Bundy, close to his victims, and a potential victim who barely escaped his clutches.

Excellent book - except for constant mispronunciations
Revisado: 06-24-19
Another excellent book by Kevin M. Sullivan, one of the best of the Ted Bundy authors.
My only problem is the narrator’s constant mispronunciations. For example, Lake Sammamish is pronounced “Sa-MAMM-ish” not “Sam-a-mish”. The “Chi” in “Chi Omega” is pronounced “Kai” (like the YouTube show “Cobra Kai”) not “Chai” (like “Chai tea”).
Other than that, good work once again.
