The Art and Making of the Dark Knight Trilogy, by Jody Duncan Jesser and Janine Pourroy, is currently $3.99 at Amazon US.

In 2005, director Christopher Nolan reimagined and forever redefined the Batman legend when he began his epic trilogy of films—Batman Begins, The Dark Knight, and The Dark Knight Rises—starring Christian Bale as the Caped Crusader in a fresh, dynamic reboot of the franchise.

All three films would go on to blockbuster success and critical acclaim—including an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for Heath Ledger’s unforgettable performance as Batman’s eternal nemesis, the Joker.

The Art and Making of the Dark Knight Trilogy tells the complete story of these three monumental films. Based on in-depth interviews with Nolan and all of the films’ key cast and crew—including cowriters David S. Goyer and Jonathan Nolan, cinematographer Wally Pfister, and more—the book reveals the creative process behind the epic Dark Knight Trilogy, supported by lavish art and on and off-set photos.

The definitive firsthand account of the groundbreaking research of Philip Zimbardo—the basis for the award-winning film The Stanford Prison Experiment

Renowned social psychologist and creator of the Stanford Prison Experiment Philip Zimbardo explores the mechanisms that make good people do bad things, how moral people can be seduced into acting immorally, and what this says about the line separating good from evil.

The Lucifer Effect explains how—and the myriad reasons why—we are all susceptible to the lure of “the dark side.” Drawing on examples from history as well as his own trailblazing research, Zimbardo details how situational forces and group dynamics can work in concert to make monsters out of decent men and women.

The Stanford Prison Experiment is controversial. See one article by Ben Blum at https://medium.com/s/trustissues/the...?src=longreads

Ben Blum mentions the armed robbery case of his cousin where Philip Zimbardo appeared as an expert witness. The book he wrote on the case Ranger Games: A Story of Soldiers, Family and an Inexplicable Crime is available at Amazon.com for $4.99. This is a Great on Kindle book.

Spoiler alert. The medium article does give away the truth in the case.

Helmet for My Pillow: From Parris Island to the Pacific by Robert Leckie - FREE
https://www.amazon.com/Helmet-My-Pil.../dp/B07S91DQ1N

Here is one of the most riveting first-person accounts to ever come out of the Second World War.

Robert Leckie was 21 when he enlisted in the US Marine Corps in January 1942.

In Helmet for My Pillow we follow his journey, from boot camp on Parris Island, South Carolina, all the way to the raging battles in the Pacific, where some of the war's fiercest fighting took place. Recounting his service with the 1st Marine Division and the brutal action on Guadalcanal, New Britain and Peleliu, Leckie spares no detail of the horrors and sacrifice of war, painting an unsentimental portrait of how real warriors are made, fight, and all too often die in the defence of their country.

Unparalleled in its immediacy and accuracy, Helmet for My Pillow is a gripping account from an ordinary soldier fighting in extraordinary conditions.

This is a self-published book. Have you read it or have some other reason for listing it? It would be helpful if you said what it is.

Until now, I didn't realize that the Inquisition had gotten to America. The book will help fill in that hole in my knowledge.

The price of the book is $2.99.

I like Mango Lassi's (served at Indian restaurants), myself. They seem to go perfectly with the seasoning of the Indian food, at the end of a meal.

I love anything mango! Except maybe the green ones.. too sour for me.

Given the title of the book maybe they're hoping you'll die before you "cash in" on the credit.

That's morbid.

Yeah, it must be targeted somehow--I didn't get the credit either. Maybe there's some algorithm that they use. Maybe they spin a roulette wheel, who knows?
