Book Description
PEELING BACK THE LAYERS is a miscellaneous collection of ideas which explore subjects in further detail. Larson employs the object lesson of an "onion", which if peeled back has multiple layers, each one different from the ones before. The book is an examination, an exploration, a 2nd, 3rd, and 4th look at otherwise obvious topics. He digs beneath the surface leading the reader into new insights and understandings. From the funny to the very serious, they will make you laugh or cry and want to discuss, possibly argue. Who knew a cause of divorce has something to do with improper toilet paper roll installations? Is there really a tried and true method to "winning the heart of a lady?" Are there benefits to aging? Larson describes 20 of them. Who knew that porcupines and human have similar behavior? Was MOBY DICK the monster or was it really Captain Ahab? What was Grandma's wisdom? Why are scars such a wonder? Are Ghosts really real, really? How to get "high" not using alcohol, drugs, sex, escapism, or bingeing anything. You'll hear Jiminy Cricket sing, "Proverbs, proverbs, there so true - proverbs tell you what to do." When does love insist upon a kick in the arse? Is distraction a distraction? The book is simply a rambling romp through three dozen and more ideas, leading the reader to distant lands of the mind and heart.

Book Description
Today, artists are engaged in investigation. They probe corruption, state violence, environmental destruction and repressive technologies. At the same time, fields not usually associated with aesthetics make powerful use of it. Journalists and legal professionals pore over open source videos and satellite imagery to undertake visual investigations. This combination of diverse fields is what the authors call "investigative aesthetics": mobilising sensibilities often associated with art, architecture and other such practices to find new ways of speaking truth to power. This book draws on theories of knowledge, ecology and technology, evaluates the methods of citizen counter-forensics, micro-history and art, and examines radical practices such as those of Wikileaks, Bellingcat, and Forensic Architecture. Investigative Aesthetics takes place in the studio and the laboratory, the courtroom and the gallery, online and in the streets, as it strives towards the construction of a new 'common sensing'. The book is an inspiring introduction to a new field that brings together investigation and aesthetics to change how we understand and confront power today. To Nour Abuzaid for your brilliance, perseverance, and unshaken belief in the liberation of Palestine.

Book Description
As a child, I was sexually and emotionally abused by my grandmother and an uncle. I had repressed the memories, but I always inexplicably felt there was something wrong with me. One evening, seemingly out of nowhere, I had my first memory of sexual abuse, and a disturbing experience I later learned to be body memory, a physiological response that accompanies the recall of traumatic experiences. I tried to suppress them, and punished myself physically and emotionally because of these memories for years. It led me on a journey of self-discovery, filled with pain, fear and setbacks. Now, after working hard on dealing with my past and understanding it, I'm focusing on continuing to heal and build a stronger, more satisfying life. I tell my story because there are survivors of abuse who carry secrets-secrets that ruin their lives. The survivors need to learn they are not responsible. They'll overcome the denial, self-loathing and self-abuse that motivates negative behaviors.

Book Description
I wrote this book because Id finally gotten to a place in my life where I knew that I had to face all of the demons in my life that were hindering me from getting to the place where my destiny was waiting for me. God had allowed me to go through and overcome many things in my life that would have taken me out except for the prayers of those who loved me in spite of my mistakes. I wanted this to be a book of hope for others who find themselves entangled in circumstances that they cant seem to break free of and to let them know that all things become possible when we take the first step and allow God the freedom to work in our lives. We all have to come to a point where we look in the mirror and say to ourselves that today is the day when I start the process of working on myself and today is the day where all the layers come down and I become all that God has designed me to be.

Book Description
Soul-Centered: Transform Your Life in 8 Weeks with Meditation presents a secular, mainstream view of meditation and applies it practically as a tool for personal transformation. Each week’s lesson in the 8-week program contains a key for navigating the journey of self-awareness, and each week’s meditation practice builds on those of the previous weeks, making the process accessible and enjoyable for novices and experts alike. Inspiring stories from Sarah’s own experience and from the students she’s taught in her 20-year career as a meditation teacher further enrich the text. Her approach is grounded in leading-edge brain research that shows meditating for 27 minutes a day over 8 weeks can make a huge difference by altering the gray matter in areas of the brain that govern learning, memory, empathy, and stress. Each of the lessons in the 8-week program is designed to provide a structure for creating a successful and sustainable meditation practice. As the readers build their meditation practice, they learn to undo stressful habits that don’t serve them, cultivate compassion for themselves and others, and listen to and trust their inner wisdom. The Soul-Centered journey is one of finding out who you really are; navigating your life based on that peaceful, loving, wise part of yourself; then fully and fearlessly expressing yourself in the world.

Book Description
They are among the most famous and compelling photographs ever made in archaeology: Howard Carter kneeling before the burial shrines of Tutankhamun; life-size statues of the boy king on guard beside a doorway, tantalizingly sealed, in his tomb; or a solid gold coffin still draped with flowers cut more than 3,300 years ago. Yet until now, no study has explored the ways in which photography helped mythologize the tomb of Tutankhamun, nor the role photography played in shaping archaeological methods and interpretations, both in and beyond the field. This book undertakes the first critical analysis of the photographic archive formed during the ten-year clearance of the tomb, and in doing so explores the interface between photography and archaeology at a pivotal time for both. Photographing Tutankhamun foregrounds photography as a material, technical, and social process in early 20th-century archaeology, in order to question how the photograph made and remade ‘ancient Egypt’ in the waning age of colonial order.

Book Description
A New York Times Book Review Editor’s Choice • Rex Stout meets Agatha Christie with a fresh twist in the new Pentecost and Parker Mystery, a delightfully hardboiled high-wire act starring two daring women sleuths dead set on justice as they set out to solve a murder at a traveling circus “A delight.... It’s a pleasure to watch [Pentecost and Parker] sifting through red herrings and peeling secrets back like layers of an onion.” The New York Times Book Review Someone’s put a blade in the back of the Amazing Tattooed Woman, and Willowjean “Will” Parker’s former knife-throwing mentor has been stitched up for the crime. To uncover the truth, Will and her boss, world-famous detective Lillian Pentecost, travel to the circus, where they find a snake pit of old grudges, small-town crime, and secrets worth killing for. Will called Hart & Halloway’s Traveling Circus and Sideshow home for five years, and Ruby Donner, the circus’s tattooed ingenue, was her friend. To make matters worse, the prime suspect is Valentin Kalishenko, the man who taught Will everything she knows about putting a knife where it needs to go. To uncover the real killer and keep Kalishenko from a date with the electric chair, Will and Ms. Pentecost join the circus in sleepy Stoppard, Virginia, where the locals like their cocktails mild, the past buried, and big-city detectives not at all. The two swiftly find themselves lost in a funhouse of lies as Will begins to realize that her former circus compatriots aren’t playing it straight, and that her murdered friend might have been hiding a lot of secrets beneath all that ink.
