EasyJet has always been a colorful enterprise, thanks to both its charismatic and self-promoting Greek founder, Stelios Haji-Ioannou, and its bright orange planes and publicity material. Beginning as a modest operation flying a couple of elderly, leased 737s between Luton and Glasgow, it is now one of the biggest airlines in Europe and has led the way in web-based ticket sales. This is a full account of easyJet's business success, the flamboyant stunts it has used to gain an advantage on its competitors, and the wider social changes its cheap flights have brought about.

German native Armin Meiwes placed this ad in an internet chatroom catering to cannibals. He received 430 responses. Among them was Bernd Juergen Brandes, who arrived at Meiwes’s isolated country home literally to be eaten alive. Escorted to the “slaughtering room”—equipped with meat hooks, a cage, and a butcher’s table—Meiwes assisted Bernd in a gourmet candlelight dinner of his own cooked flesh. Meiwes then stabbed his victim in the throat—bringing the ghastly videotaped ordeal to an end. From a childhood perverted by unhealthy obsessions to his notorious trial that ended in a stunning verdict, Cannibal discloses for the first time the true story of a real-life Hannibal Lecter and his victim. And with details never before divulged to the public, it takes readers step-by-step through the unspeakable crime that fascinated and revolted the world. INCLUDES PHOTOS
