Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Somewhere in America, right now, someone is signing over their life savings to a grandson they trust, a caregiver they hired, or a stranger they've never met in person. It happens so often, and so quietly, that nobody actually knows the true cost - estimates range from $3 billion to $36 billion a year, because most victims never report it at all.The Trust Thieves is not a list of warning signs. It's fifty-three real investigations into exactly how this happens: the grandson who drained his grandmother's IRA down to less than fifty dollars. The attorney who stole $11.8 million from clients who trusted him to honor their final wishes. The AI-cloned voice that convinced a mother her son was in jail. The 'wealth protection' firm that sold gold coins at 300% markups to retirees terrified of economic collapse. The professional guardian who left urns of unclaimed ashes in a storage locker.Every case in this book is real - pulled from court records, DOJ press releases, and state attorney general filings, with names, dates, and dollar amounts intact. No composites. No invented statistics. Where the facts are disputed, this book says so.Organized into five parts - family and caregivers, strangers, institutions, death and legacy, and protection - The Trust Thieves moves from the most intimate betrayals to the most impersonal, and ends with what actually works: the legal tools, the technology, and the one conversation that prevents more of this than any law ever will.This book won't make you paranoid. It will make you specific - about what to watch for, who to call, and how to make sure the people you love never become one of these cases.…

Hardcover. Zustand: Near Fine. First Edition. Inscribed by Author. 21.5cm x 13cm. [vi], viii, 206, [2] pages. Modern quarter leather, marbled papered boards. In which an attempt is made to ascertain its natural use; to investigate experimentally its general nature and properties; and to explain its effects in the cure of various diseases: Likewise to point out the varieties in the food of the animal, from which it is taken; and the circumstances in the mode of life and conduct of those women, who afford it, which more especially tend to change its appearance, and to impair its salutary qualities: and particularly to enforce the cautions and restrictions, which are necessary to be observed by those, whose duty or business it is to suckle an infant race. One of the more substantial English-language eighteenth-century monographs devoted wholly to milk, combining experimental chemistry with medical, moral, and social thought on infant feeding, motherhood, female bodies, and the transmission of health and character. Ferris undertakes comparative chemical experiments on six milks (ass, human, mare, cow, goat, and ewe) and uses the results to advance a sustained argument for maternal breastfeeding against both wet-nursing and the nursery customs of the day. He maintains that a mother's own milk is the best possible nutriment and casts a woman's refusal to nurse her child as 'one of the worst species of inhumanity'. He approvingly cites the late Dr William Hunter (1718-1783), who believed cancers of the breast occurred disproportionately among women who declined to breastfeed, and condemns the common practice of withholding the breast during the first days after birth. Where maternal nursing proves impossible, Ferris subjects the wet nurse to detailed scrutiny. Her diet, habits, mode of life, and even emotional state are made objects of prescription, the infant being thought to absorb the consequences of her conduct through her milk. The nursing body is thus framed throughout as an object of medical and social management, ordered in the interests of the 'infant race'. Presentation copy, inscribed by Ferris to The Revd. Mr Tonyn, likely the Revd Charles William Tonyn (1732-1805), Rector of Radnage, Buckinghamshire, a parish situated near Great Missenden, where Ferris settled in 1785.
