IF YOU FIND ME DEAD, THIS IS WHO KIDNAPPED ME . . . . (Note hidden in boot by Abby Drover) Audiobook release coming summer 2021! More than 91⁄2 hours narrated by the author and others, including cameos by Abby and her kidnapper! Exclusively on Amazon, Audible and iTunes A true crime classic that made headlines around the world, shocking and moving everyone including some of the biggest celebrities -- among them tough guy crooner Frank Sinatra still pained by his own son's kidnapping a decade before. "Compelling . . . an inspiration for others to reach out!" -- Leeza Gibbons, NBC-TV. "Utterly stunning . . . inspirational . . . riveting," -- readers' comments on Amazon. Long before the Cleveland house of horrors, readers were awed by this gripping, in-depth narrative of non fiction and suspense -- and now you can get the updated, second Kindle edition with a brand new cover, stunning new revelations, and eight pages of photographs! Trapped, chained and abused for months in her dismal underground cell at the age of 12 and then 13, courageous Abby hides a note identifying her kidnapper. She prays for a miracle -- but she despairs that her fate is sealed and is heartbreakingly realistic about her prospects. "If I don't live through this," says her tear-stained plea. "I would like my body to be cremated and the ashes poured all over my house on 1617 Barnet Highway. "PS: If you find me dead, my killer is . . . He kidnapped me on the morning of March 10, 1976. I also died, if so, after my 13th birthday." Abby then stoically hides this note identifying her kidnapper in the lining of one of her boots, assuming it will eventually be found somewhere along the shoreline together with her lifeless body. Instead, readers will discover how everyone worked tirelessly to solve the mystery, including a self-proclaimed psychic who incredibly and almost exactly pinpointed Abby's whereabouts! Now years later, the author, who originally covered her improbable rescue as a newspaper reporter, collaborates with Abby to tell you her story, and explore the twisted mind of her abductor. In her own words, Abby describes how she was abused and starved during six months of solitary confinement as she lay helplessly captive less than half a block from home -- and how she has since survived her harrowing ordeal. In addition, you can now glimpse into the mind of a supposedly reformed kidnapper, who seeks freedom and expects Abby to forgive him. The kidnapper claims he has never abused anyone else and, incredibly, has numerous misguided supporters whom he continues to deceive almost to his final days -- when the awful truth finally comes out. But ultimately, through these shocking, deeply moving pages, there emerges an inspirational testimony to one young girl's gulp-inducing courage--and her indomitable will to triumph. "Gripping . . .compelling, tightly written . . . flair for investigation," -- Paul Musgrove, The Vancouver Sun. "A gripping story of real-life horror and suspense, written with Drover's co-operation," Cathleen Fillmore, Quill & Quire Magazine. "Illuminating, highly commendable, good reading."

The workplace is where almost two thirds of adults spend almost two thirds of their waking time. Though traditional, statutorily-driven approaches to risk management have been demonstrably effective in reducing the number of injuries and sickness in recent years, psychological and physical health issues are still rife in the modern-day workforce. Work-related sickness and injury absence, and the economic cost implications of such, are having a detrimental effect not just on employees and employers, but on the wider community. Written by a team of experts from across academia and practice settings, this engaging new book argues that employer organizations must work collaboratively with employees in order to create working environments that promote health for all. With a sharp focus on applying theory to practice, the book uses real-life examples from areas across the globe to encourage readers to think contextually. Key topics covered include: • Work-life balance, including issues of workload and the 'long hours culture' • The impact of work-related musculoskeletal disorders • The nature, scale and causes of work-related stress • The significance of corporate social responsibility in employee wellness Aligned with global frameworks, this comprehensive text provides both students and qualified professionals with a solid foundation for practice, and a rich source of material for discussion.

The Netherlands is the only country in the world in which euthanasia, under narrow-defined circumstances, is legally permissible. Considerable attention has been paid over a number of years to the problem of regulating it and information has been systematically collected concerning actual practice. Therefore the Dutch experience is of interest not only to the Dutch, but to anyone who is considering wether or not to make euthanasia a legal practice. This book is written for a reader without specific knowledge of law. The central focus of the book is on Dutch law pertaining to euthanansia, but it also considers the moral and legal principles that have played a role in the Dutch debate, the available evidence bearing on actual practice and on the effectiveness of legal control. It ends with some reflections on the problem of the 'slippery slope' and the question whether the Dutch experience is 'exportable'. It includes translations of the relevant legislation (including proposed reforms) and of three leading cases.
