As a medical detective of the modern world, forensic pathologist Ryan Blumenthal’s chief goal is to bring perpetrators to justice. He has performed thousands of autopsies, which have helped bring numerous criminals to book. In Autopsy he covers the hard lessons learnt as a rookie pathologist, as well as some of the most unusual cases he’s encountered.
During his career, for example, he has dealt with high-profile deaths, mass disasters, death by lightning and people killed by African wildlife. Blumenthal takes the reader behind the scenes at the mortuary, describing a typical autopsy and the instruments of the trade. He also shares a few trade secrets, like how to establish when a suicide is more likely to be a homicide.
Even though they cannot speak, the dead have a lot to say – and Blumenthal is there to listen.
Locard’s Exchange Principle underpins all forensic science and holds that the perpetrator of a crime will bring something to the crime scene and leave with something from it.
Forensic experts use this principle daily to catch murderers and assailants. In Risking Life for Death, South African forensic pathologist Ryan Blumenthal offers a master class in this singular forensic technique based on real-life case studies. With more than twenty years’ experience in the field, Blumenthal explains how to look for clues and traces, and how what he does not find at autopsy is often more important than what he does find. In other words, the absence of evidence can sometimes be of greater value than the presence of evidence.
His account also highlights the dangers forensic pathologists are exposed to daily. As they try to unravel the puzzle of someone’s death, forensic pathologists often face life-threatening infections, toxic gases and the hazards associated with high-profile cases – in effect, risking their life to solve someone else’s death.
An understanding of Locard’s Exchange Principle can help you become a medical detective in your own life, can help you be a happier person and can even provide you with a better philosophy for growing older, Blumenthal argues.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made

Informed by astronomy education research, the Sixth Edition
reflects an emphasis on learning by doing. This emphasis is
reinforced through thoughtful pedagogy and an innovative teaching
and learning package. Students get to interact with astronomy while
instructors receive the resources they need to incorporate active
learning into the classroom.
Stacy Palen knows that introductory astronomy may be the only
science course some students take in their college careers, so it's
their best chance to develop scientific literacy. Education
research shows that the best way to attain scientific literacy is
through active learning. Understanding Our Universe, Fourth Edition
makes it easier for instructors to help students understand the
concepts and learn to value science by providing activities that
can be used before, during and after class. By expanding her
pedagogy to include What If scenarios and What an Astronomer Sees
figure captions, Stacy helps students build scientific literacy and
to think critically about science in the media.
"Dear children," says the stepmother to her stepson and
daughter. A wicked thought has been growing like a poisonous plant
within her. "The two of you must go to my grandmother who lives in
the forest, and do everything she wants you to . . . and she will
give you sweet things to eat, and you will be happy "
In the forest the obedient children find the hut -- and what a
curious one it is It stands on tiny hen's feet, and at the top is a
rooster's head. With their tiny voices they call out:
"Izboushka, Izboushka Turn thy back to the forest and thy front
to us "
The hut does as they command. The two orphans look inside and
see the witch resting there -- her head near the threshold, one
foot in one corner, the other foot in another corner, and her knees
quite close to the ridge pole.
""Fou, Fou, Fou "" exclaims Baba Yaga, rousing herself. ""I feel
the Russian spirit ""
"Baba Yaga" is but one of the tales of impossible quests,
magical animals and witches to be found in "Folk Tales from the
Russian." This collection also includes "The Tsarevna Frog," "Seven
Simeons," "The Language of the Birds," "Ivanoushka the Simpleton,"
"Woe Bogotir," "Baba Yaga," "Dimian the Peasant," "The Golden
Mountain," and "Father Frost."
The Management of Savagery of tells the story of the parallel rise
of international jihadism and Western ultra-nationalism. Since
Washington's secret funding of the Mujahideen following the Russian
invasion of Afghanistan in the 1970s, America has supported
extremists with money and hardware, including enemies such as Bin
Laden. The Pentagon's willingness to make alliances abroad have
seen the war coming home with inevitable consequences: by funding,
training, and arming jihadist elements in Afghanistan, Syria, and
Libya since the Cold War and waging wars of regime change and
interventions that gave birth to the Islamic State. Meanwhile,
Trump's dealings In the Middle East are likely only to exacerbate
the situation further. Blumenthal excavates the real story behind
America's dealing with the world and shows how the extremist forces
that now threaten peace across the globe are the inevitable
flowering of America's imperial designs of a national security
state. And shows how this has ended with the rise of the Trump
presidency.
