Click on image above to see Amazon listing for this book.

Beyond the Body Farm: A Legendary Bone Detective Explores Murder, Mysteries, and the Revolution in Forensic Science [Abridged]
by Dr. Bill Bass (Author), Jon Jefferson (Author), Tom McKeon (Narrator)

Book description from Amazon.com: "A pioneer in forensic anthropology, Dr. Bill Bass created the world's first laboratory dedicated to the study of human decomposition. Bill Bass' research at "the Body Farm" has revolutionized forensic science, helping police crack cold cases and pinpoint time since death. In this riveting book, the bone sleuth explores the rise of modern forensic science, using cases from his career to take readers into the real world of "CSI".
Some of Bill Bass' cases rely on the simplest of tools and techniques, while other cases hinge on sophisticated techniques Dr. Bass could not have imagined when he began his career: using computer data and video image processing to help identify murder victims; harnessing scanning electron microscopy to detect trace elements in knife wounds; and extracting DNA from a long-buried corpse, only to find that the female murder victim may have been mistakenly identified a quarter-century before.
Witty and engaging, Bass dissects the methods used by homicide investigators every day, leading listeners on an extraordinary journey into the high-tech science that it takes to crack a case.

SOLD! Anger by Thich Nhat Hanh

Cover of book. Marbled grayish-blue wash of color with no distinctive shape. Printed on the jacket is National Bestseller, Thich Nhat Hanh, author of Living Buddha, Living Christ, ANGER, Wisdom for Cooling the Flames.


Anger: Wisdom for Cooling the Flames by Thich Nhat Hanh

Amazon review: Anger can be one of the most frustrating emotions, carrying us headlong away from ourselves and depositing us into separation and dismay. Vietnamese monk and world teacher Thich Nhat Hanh tackles this most difficult of emotions in Anger. A master at putting complex ideas into simple, colorful packages, Nhat Hanh tells us that, fundamentally, to be angry is to suffer, and that it is our responsibility to alleviate our own suffering. The way to do this is not to fight our emotions or to "let it all out" but to transform ourselves through mindfulness. Emphasizing our basic interdependence, he teaches us how to help others through deep listening and how to water the positive seeds in those around us while starving the negative seeds. Serious though lighthearted, Anger is a handbook not only for transforming anger but for living each moment beautifully.

Hardcover, 227 pages. Condition: Excellent (very slight ware on jacket). This item comes from a smoke-free, fragrance-free, pet-free environment.

There are several small accent beads, many of them a shimmery silver color or pearl-type bead.

Audio book of Kathryn Stockett's best-selling novel, The Help.

Unabridged CDs • 14 CDs, 17 hours

Publishers Weekly, Starred Review: "Four peerless actors render an array of sharply defined black and white characters in the nascent years of the civil rights movement. They each handle a variety of Southern accents with aplomb and draw out the daily humiliation and pain the maids are subject to, as well as their abiding affection for their white charges. The actors handle the narration and dialogue so well that no character is ever stereotyped, the humor is always delightful, and the listener is led through the multilayered stories of maids and mistresses. The novel is a superb intertwining of personal and political history in Jackson, Miss., in the early 1960s, but this reading gives it a deeper and fuller power."
