The age-old battle of good and evil actually revolves around the battlefield of humankind. Each faction influences people to their resolve. However, between these two great combatants is a third entity: the Arrangers. Neither evil nor holy, their duty is to pick up the pieces by giving rewards for the good and evil done by man.

Evil retribution is given in the form of twists of fate, commonly called karma. The person who seems to have evaded justice becomes the victim of an uncanny accident. This is the job of the Arrangers.

The Arrangers are in need of one last member of their group, and they have chosen Tom Evans. Tom is in need of a simple and stable life that he has never known. He has always been on the move. Finally this small town is his chance at rest. But the Arrangers have chosen this to be his chance at immortality. It is his choice.

Activating the Art Museum: Designing Experiences for the Health Professions, the first book on this subject, offers an argument for collaboration between educators in art museums and healthcare professionals. Through descriptions of teaching practices, the authors bring us into the galleries along with participants to demonstrate the value of art museums in supporting humanism in healthcare for the benefit of both practitioners and their patients. It includes advice on selecting meaningful and provocative works of art; models of responsive workshop design; compelling descriptions of gallery experiences; references to supporting medical literature; and the voices of medical students, physicians, and other health professionals. Chapters address key topics including tolerating ambiguity; empathy; interprofessional teamwork; confronting bias; the power of story; caring for the spirit; wellbeing and mindfulness. This inspiring and practical resource, written by three respected museum educators, is grounded in their experience with multiple individual and institutional partnerships and in designing hundreds of gallery experiences for healthcare trainees and practitioners. This book will be valuable to educators, leaders, and policy-makers in museums and health care. These readers, as well as general audiences with an interest in art and health will be inspired by the potential of art museums to activate our empathetic imaginations and remind us of our shared humanity.

From The Inside is a thorough revised and expanded re-working of Hayward's previous books, Tin Pan Alley: The Rise of Elton John and From Tin Pan Alley to the Yellow Brick Road. From The Inside is not just an ordinary biography. It is effectively an oral history using interviews conducted over a fifteen-year period with just about every musician, producer, sound engineer, manager and key figure that worked with Reg Dwight, before and when he was Elton John, both in Britain and America, up to 1979. It is their story, From the Inside; how they contributed to the success of Sir Elton during that time, and how they played an unwitting part in his rise to fame. It is a collection of stories from the music makers, managers, executives and musicians that makes this book possible. They are the people who were there, observing what was going on and, in some cases, in close proximity to Sir Elton. It really is the story of those who still see him as an acquaintance or as a friend. It is the first time some of them have spoken out about their years working and sharing Sir Elton's life. Sadly, some of those contributors have passed now but their words and contributions live on in this book.

BRING EM BACK ALIVE SID (Charles Sidney Williams, Sr.) is a historical biography of the pioneer homesteader, rancher, horseman, and sheriff. Sid s life spanned almost the entire post Civil War-pre World War II time period, but his story here is concerned primarily with the law enforcement problems of northwest Nebraska during the prohibition and depression eras. Law enforcement of northwest Nebraska during this time reveals the cultural aspects and the trials and tribulations of the people who homesteaded and established homes, farms, and ranches. Drought and low commodity prices resulted in many foreclosures and hardships. Some land owners attempted to ameliorate their poor conditions by the illegal manufacture of stills and the production of moonshine liquor. A few saw an opportunity to make a great deal of money. The poor economic times finally ended with the advent of World War II.

The status of many carnivore populations is of growing concern to scientists and conservationists, making the need for data pertaining to carnivore distribution, abundance, and habitat use ever more pressing. Recent developments in "noninvasive" research techniques--those that minimize disturbance to the animal being studied--have resulted in a greatly expanded toolbox for the wildlife practitioner.

Presented in a straightforward and readable style, "Noninvasive Survey Methods for Carnivores "is a comprehensive guide for wildlife researchers who seek to conduct carnivore surveys using the most up-to-date scientific approaches. Twenty-five experts from throughout North America discuss strategies for implementing surveys across a broad range of habitats, providing input on survey design, sample collection, DNA and endocrine analyses, and data analysis. Photographs from the field, line drawings, and detailed case studies further illustrate on-the-ground application of the survey methods discussed.

Coupled with cutting-edge laboratory and statistical techniques, which are also described in the book, noninvasive survey methods are effi cient and effective tools for sampling carnivore populations. "Noninvasive Survey Methods for Carnivores "allows practitioners to carefully evaluate a diversity of detection methods and to develop protocols specific to their survey objectives, study area, and species of interest. It is an essential resource for anyone interested in the study of carnivores, from scientists engaged in primary research to agencies or organizations requiring carnivore detection data to develop management or conservation plans.
