Faithless in death [sound recording] / by Robb, J. D.,1950-author.; Ericksen, Susan,narrator.; Macmillan Audio (Firm),publisher.;
Read by Susan Ericksen."In the new Eve Dallas police thriller ... what look[s] like a lover's quarrel turned fatal has larger--and more terrifying--motives behind it ... The scene in the West Village studio appears to be classic crime-of-passion: two wineglasses by the bed, music playing, and a young sculptor named Ariel Byrd with the back of her head bashed in. But when Dallas tracks down the wealthy Upper East Side woman who called 911, the details don't add up. Gwen Huffman is wealthy, elegant, comforted by her handsome fiancé as she sheds tears over the trauma of finding the body--but why did it take an hour to report it? And why is she lying about little things? As Eve and her team look into Gwen, her past, and the people around her, they find that the lies are about more than murder. As with sculpture, they need to chip away at the layers of deception to find the shape within--and soon they're getting the FBI involved in a case that involves a sinister, fanatical group and a stunning criminal conspiracy"--

Wild life : finding my purpose in an untamed world / by Wynn-Grant, Rae,author.;
"Growing up in the diverse and bustling California Bay Area, renowned wildlife ecologist Dr. Rae Wynn-Grant always felt worlds away from the white male adventurers she watched explore the wilderness on TV. She dreamed of a future where she could spend sleepless nights under the crowded canopies of the Amazon and the starry skies of the savanna. But as Rae set off on her own expeditions in the wild, she saw nature's delicate balance in a new light. Wild Life follows Rae on her adventures and explorations in some of the world's most remote locales. Hers is a story about a nearly twenty-year career in the wild -- carving a niche as one of very few Black female scientists -- and the challenges she had to overcome, expectations she had to leave behind, and the many lessons she learned along the way. An incredible journey spanning the Great Plains of North America to the rainforests of Madagascar, Wild Life sheds light on our pivotal relationship and responsibility to the natural world and the relatives -- both human and otherwise -- that we share it with."--

Wade Davis : photographs / by Davis, Wade,photographer.;
"Inspired by artists such as Ansel Adams, Alfred Stieglitz and Henri Cartier-Bresson, who wrote that great photographs come about in the decisive moment when the head, heart and eye find perfect alignment in an axis of the spirit, celebrated anthropologist and photographer Wade Davis has travelled the world in pursuit of the wonder of the human imagination as brought into being by culture. In Wade Davis: Photographs, Davis selects 150 of his favourite photographs from the thousands he has taken in the course of his forty-year career. Intimate portraits of family and community life, they are universal in feel, although they represent an enormous diversity of geographical locations and cultural backgrounds. Each one captures a rich story about the human condition, and invites the viewer to experience scenes of family, magic, love and tradition. Throughout his career, Davis's central aim has been to convey a visceral sense of the mystery and wealth of human culture, the embodiment of all that we are and all that we have created as a species. Through his words and photographs, he sheds light on the great peril that many traditions face, and the danger of losing forever the rich cultural heritages that have sustained us for thousands of years."--

Facing suicide : understanding why people kill themselves and how we can stop them / by Barrat, James(Psychologist),author.;
"Suicide in America has become a public health crisis. Now this insightful book sheds much needed light on the many risk factors that combine to drive suicide forward so that we can try to identify and stop them. On average about 45,000 people in America die by suicide each year, a death toll higher than car accidents or homicides. For every person who dies there were are about 10 ten unsuccessful attempts. And every day some 15 million Americans endure suicidal ideatio n: persistent, agonizing thoughts about taking their lives. Profiling suicide survivors, their families, and experts in the field, Barrat begins to assemble a fuller portrait of suicide, examing such risk factors as genetics, means, mental health, and history. He specifically looks at the longterm affects of racial trauma, bullying, financial stress, and even reveals that the suicidal brain has a characteristic signature. Perhaps most important, Barrat finds that 100% of the people he interviews who attempted suicide are happy they got help and are alive today. Their message is one of hope and possibility. We may never be able to stop all suicide attempts, but with better understanding, we can stop many more"--

To save the man / by Sayles, John,author.;
"In the vein of Never Let Me Go and Killers of the Flower Moon, one of America's greatest storytellers sheds light on an American tragedy: the Wounded Knee Massacre, and the 'cultural genocide' experienced by the Native American children at the Carlisle Indian Industrial School ... In September of 1890, the academic year begins at the Carlisle school -- a military-style boarding school for Indians run by Captain Richard Henry Pratt. Pratt's motto, "Kill the Indian, Save the Man" is enforced in the classroom as well as the dorm rooms: speak English, forget your own language and customs, learn to be white. While the students navigate survival, they hear rumors of a ceremonial dance sweeping tribal lands reservations in the west -- the "ghost dance," whereby desperate Native Americans engaged in frenzied dancing and chanting hoping it will cause the buffalo to return, the Indian dead to rise, and the white people to disappear. Local whites panic, and the government sends in troops to keep the reservations under control. When legendary medicine man Sitting Bull is killed by native police working for the government troops, each Carlisle resident is faced with the question: Whose side are you on? And what will you risk to gain your freedom?"--
