Includes bibliographical references and index."From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The "End of Illness comes" an ingenious guide to what our fellow animals can teach us about living longer, healthier, happier lives.

Well at work : creating wellbeing in any workspace / by Sternberg, Esther M.,author.;
"Until recently, few of us thought much about the effects our physical workspace might have on our minds and bodies. COVID-19 changed all that. Suddenly, the office became a danger zone where crowded rooms, contaminated surfaces, and poor ventilation systems increased our risk of infection. Yet it wasn't until we returned to the office after a prolonged period of working from home that most of us became acutely aware of how the environment around us was adversely affecting our energy levels and mood, our ability to focus, and even our physical health. The good news, says integrative health and mind body science design pioneer Dr. Esther Sternberg, is healthy workplaces need not be a luxury. Through groundbreaking research and a trove of insightful stories, Well at Work reveals how the physical environment can either impair or improve our wellbeing across seven domains of integrative health -- stress, sleep, movement, relationships, nutrition, spirituality, and the air we breathe. Whether we work in a typical office building, a co working space, or in our spare bedroom turned home office, Dr. Sternberg shows how we can all design or adapt our workspace to enhance our comfort, productivity, health, and happiness, and to help us be -- and stay -- well at work"--

When the chance to win presents itself, the women seize it. However, just before their trip, their old friend Chrissie arrives in Ballygar for her mother's funeral, dampening their good mood and well-laid plans. The women secure tickets and set out on the journey that they hope will change their lives, with Chrissie, a skeptical traveler, joining in place of her mother. The glamor and sophistication of Chrissie, who has just returned from a nearly 40-year exile in the United States, are not her only distancing traits: Old wounds are reopened along the way, forcing the women to confront their pasts even as they travel in search of a miracle. Their shared traumas can only be healed by the curative power of love and friendship.Canadian Home Video Rating: PG.MPAA rating: PG-13; thematic elements and some language.Subtitled for the deaf and hard-of-hearing (SDH).DVD ; wide screen presentation ; Dolby Digital 5.1.

Cold, cold bones / by Reichs, Kathy,author.;
"Winter has come to North Carolina and, with it, a drop in crime. For a while, temporarily idle forensic anthropologist Tempe Brennan is content to dote on her daughter Katy, finally returned to civilian life from the army. But when mother and daughter meet at Tempe's place one night for dinner, they find a box on the back porch. Inside: a very fresh human eyeball. GPS coordinates etched into the eyeball lead to a Benedictine Monastery where an equally macabre discovery awaits. Soon after, Tempe examines a mummified corpse in a state park, and her anxiety deepens. There seems to be no pattern to these random killings, except that each mimics in some way a killing that a younger Tempe witnessed, analyzed, or barely escaped. Who or what is targeting her, and why? Helping Tempe discover the answers is Detective Erskine "Skinny" Slidell, retired but still volunteering with the CMPD cold case unit--and still displaying his gallows humor. But as the two infiltrate a bizarre survivalist's lair, even Skinny's mood darkens. And then Tempe's daughter Katy disappears. At its core, Cold, Cold Bones is a novel of revenge and why revisiting the past may be the only way to rescue the present."--
