    Media and law enforcement work at cross-purposes. Law enforcement wants to solve a case as fast as possible and put the guilty behind bars. The media wants a case to drag on as long as humanly possible and do all they can to extricate every last bit of drama—drop by bloody drop—in order to hold the attention of the millions of viewers who have gotten hooked. Law enforcement must abide by rules. The media make their own rules, or break them, or find loopholes to work around them. If people knew how it's done—how the media seduce, buy, bribe, and corrupt, like an inevitable, malignant cancer on a murder investigation—they might be too sickened to buy the next ticket to the carnival. But as Mark Fuhrman relates in The Murder Business, a heinous crime can produce many victims, and high-profile murders can hurt innocent people who get burned by the spotlight, whether or not they sought it out themselves. This searing indictment of the media shows how the criminal justice system can be manipulated by money, power, politics, fame—and all too often, ratings.

    In the wilderness, one false step can make the difference between a delightful respite and a brush with death. 
    On a beautiful summer afternoon in 1998, Dan Stephens, a twenty-two-year-old canoeist, was leading a trip deep into Ontario's Quetico Provincial Park. He stepped into a gap among cedar trees to look for the next portage—and did not return. More than four hours later, Dan awakened from a fall with a lump on his head and stumbled deeper into the woods, confused. 
    Three years later, Jason Rasmussen, a third-year medical student who loved the forest's solitude, walked alone into the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness on a crisp fall day. After a two-day trek into a remote area of the woods, he stepped away from his campsite and made a series of seemingly trivial mistakes that left him separated from his supplies, wet, and lost, as cold darkness fell. 
    Enduring days without food or shelter, these men faced the full harsh force of wilderness, the place that they had sought out for tranquil refuge from city life. Lost in the Wild takes listeners with them as they enter realms of pain, fear, and courage, as they suffer dizzying confusion and unending frustration, and as they overcome seemingly insurmountable hurdles in a race to survive.

    SAVE TIME AND MONEY BY TAKING CHARGE OF YOUR HEALTH! 
    Having treated thousands of clients over more than a decade and supervised hundreds of trained physiotherapists in one of Australia's leading health care groups, few people are better positioned to give advice on physical health and wellness than International Author and Speaker Jason Smith. Written in plain English, this unique book will change your life by combining timeproven and medically sound principles with an innovative philosophy of selfempowerment. 
    You will Discover: 
    * The secret to wellness is a lot more than being "uninjured" or pain-free 
    * Crucial health advice that doctors and therapists rarely have time to share with you 
    * The importance of physical movement to living longer and enjoying life 
    * Innovative strategies to reduce pain immediately and make a fast recovery 
    * How to assess which treatment options are best for you 
    * Proven approaches to achieving lasting results from each physiotherapy session, and not 'lose the benefits' over time 
    * How to save time and money by not becoming dependent on your practitioner 
    The Back In Motion Story - A Simple Philosophy 
    Back in Motion Health Group first emerged as a concept or desire to operate a first class physiotherapy practice which offered clients' holistic solutions, sustainable outcomes, genuine and ongoing after-care , and was altogether encapsulated in relating to people with prestige and dignity. The more traditional physiotherapy practice models observed at the time certainly did not reflect these found values or philosophies of care. Back in Motion Health Group commenced as a small practice in the home of founders, Jason and Paulina Smith, in September 1999. Their early success resulted in quick growth and by April 2000 had moved the practice from their home into more suitable commercial medical facilities.

    In A NATION OF SHEEP, Judge Andrew P. Napolitano frankly discusses how the federal government has circumvented the Constitution and is systematically dismantling the rights and freedoms that are the foundation of American democracy.  He challenges Americans to recognize that they are being led down a very dangerous path and that the cost of following without challenge is the loss of the basic freedoms that facilitate our pursuit of happiness and that define us as a nation.Judge Napolitano reminds readers what America is all about, that the purpose of government is to protect freedom, and freedom is the ability to follow your own free will and not the will of government bureaucrats.  He asks the simple question, which are YOU, a sheep or a wolf?  Do you blindly follow behind where you are led, or do you challenge the government at every pass, forcing it to make decisions that will protect our freedoms? 
    Judge Napolitano asks the questions that no one else will, challenging readers to rethink why they are blindly following a government that has only its own interests in mind.  He asks:Why is the government using the war on terror as an excuse to sidestep the Constitution?Why are Americans not challenging and questioning the government as it continues to limit more and more of our freedoms?What part of "Congress shall make no law..." does the government not understand when it criminalizes speech?Whatever happened to our inalienable rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness that are proclaimed in the Declaration of Independence, guaranteed by the Constitution, yet ignored by the governments elected to protect them?Why does every public office holder swear allegiance to the Constitution, yet very few follow it?Don't we have rights that are guaranteed and cannot be taken from us?
