Описание:
The chilling autobiography of the notorious female serial killer who was recently the subject of a two-hour Investigation Discovery special.
Between 1989 and 1990, Aileen Wuornos, a hitchhiking prostitute, shot, killed, and robbed seven men in remote Florida locations. Arrested in 1991, she was condemned to death on six separate counts and executed by lethal injection in 2002.
An abused runaway who turned to prostitution to survive, Wuornos has become iconic of vengeful women who lash out at the nearest target. She has also become a touchstone for women's, prostitutes', and prisoners' rights advocates. Her story has inspired myriad books and articles, as well as the 2003 movie Monster, for which Charlize Theron won an Academy Award. But until now, Wuornos's uncensored voice has never been heard.
Dear Dawn is Wuornos's autobiography, culled from her ten-year death row correspondence with beloved childhood friend Dawn Botkins. Authorized for publication by Wuornos and edited under the guidance of Botkins, the letters not only offer Wuornos's riveting reflections on the murders, legal battles, and media coverage, but go further, revealing her fears and obsessions, her rich humor and empathy, and her gradual disintegration as her execution approached. A candid life story told to a trusted friend, Dear Dawn is a compelling narrative, unwaveringly true to its source.
"It is both empowering and heartbreaking, because Wuornos represents the fury of a wronged girl-gone-wild, whose rage was unleashed on men." --The Rumpus
"Condenses ten years of obsessive correspondence into a fragmented, sometimes funny, sometimes nightmarish, often paradoxical portrait of Wuornos." --Muzzle Magazine

To learn to ride a bike, a person must ride a bike. To learn to pass the PMP(R) Exam, a person must practice with hundreds and hundreds of PMP(R) Exam Prep sample questions.
This book is the second book in our series of mini- books - PMP(R) Exam Preparation Simplified Series Over the last 16 years Aileen has helped over 10,000 project managers in her workshops obtain their PMP(R) credential. Often the participants in Aileen's workshops are successful project managers who may lack experience is specific topics on the PMP(R) Exam. The topics that participants seem to struggle with the most are:
Earned value Management (EVM)
Contract types and calculations(FPIF, CPIF, PTA, etc.)
Network diagrams including float, free float, project float, leads and lags
Financial based questions including IRR, ROI, etc.
Statistical based questions
There is one thing all of these areas have in common and it is math.
Aileen has decided to create mini-books in each of these areas so that students can gain both the knowledge and the confidence to get these questions right.
Many project managers want to study just enough to pass the PMP(R) Exam and not one second more. Aileen's view is to practice on enough sample questions in each area so that the project manager is confident he/she will never get a question in that area wrong.
While the primary goal of this book and Aileen's workshops is to help you pass the PMP(R) Exam, Aileen hopes that you will also walk away as a more knowledgeable and successful project manager.
