Sinossi

The magnificent American master had the most extraordinary brain that anybody has ever had for chess. Technique, strategy, tactics, knowledge which is inconceivable for us; all that was possessed by Morphy fifty-four years ago. – Jose R. Capablanca

Paul Charles Morphy (June 22, 1837 – July 10, 1884), an American chess player, is considered to have been the greatest chess master of his era. This book unveils the life of this chess prodigy, knew as "The Pride and Sorrow of Chess" because he had a brilliant chess career but retired from the game while still young. Garry Kasparov maintained that Morphy can be considered both the "forefather of modern chess" and "the first swallow - the prototype of the strong 20th century grandmaster."

    Renowned forensic anthropologist Bill Bass—founder of the Body Farm—tackles one of his most baffling cases ever in this real-life spellbinder. 
    In 1978, fifty-six-year-old Leoma Patterson left a bar in Clinton, Tennessee, and was never seen again. Six months later, a female skeleton was found on a wooded lakeshore in a neighboring county. The bones were consistent with those of the missing woman, and one of Patterson's daughters recognized a ring found at the death scene as her mother's. The bones were buried, and six years later, a relative of Patterson's—one of the men she was last seen alive with—confessed to killing her. Case closed. 
    But the tentative identification—made years before DNA testing was available to confirm it—failed to convince some of Patterson's relatives. And so it was that in 2005 Dr. Bass found himself winding around hairpin curves to the mountainside grave, where he would unearth the disputed remains and collect DNA samples. The forensic twists and turns that followed would test the limits of DNA technology . . . and of Dr. Bass's half-century of forensic knowledge.

    Finding Mrs. Warnecke tells the inspiring story of Cindi  Rigsbee, a three-time Teacher of the Year, and Barbara Warnecke,  the first-grade teacher who had a lifelong impact on Cindi's life.  Cindi, an insecure child who craved positive attention, started her  first-grade year with a teacher who was emotionally abusive and  played favorites in the classroom. One month into the school year,  her principal came into the classroom and announced that half the  students were being moved to another classroom--a dank, windowless  basement room, with a young and inexperienced teacher.  This  change turned out to be the best thing that ever happened to  Cindi.  Her new teacher, Mrs. Warnecke, made learning come  alive for her students.  She went overboard caring for each  child, made her classroom "magical," and encouraged students to  pursue their dreams.  Although Cindi was reluctant to explore  her creativity as a student, Mrs. Warnecke encouraged her to read  and write poetry, which became a lifelong passion.  The two  kept in touch for several years but lost track of each other when  Mrs. Warnecke moved out of state. Cindi spent many years trying to  reconnect so she could thank Mrs. Warnecke for making such a  difference in her life, but to no avail.  Eventually Cindi  became a teacher herself, and thirty years later she has taught  more than 2,000 children and been named as a finalist for National  Teacher of the Year.  She later came to realize that all those  years she wasnt really trying to track down Barbara  Warnecke, but rather, she was trying to "find Mrs. Warnecke" within  herself.    In Fall 2008 Cindi and Barbara were reunited on Good Morning  America; the shows producers had tracked Barbara down  and brought both women on-set for a tearful reunion.  Barbara  was floored at this attention--she had no idea she could have made  such an impact on a former students life.  As Cindi  travels around talking with new and veteran educators, she is  always approached by audience members who are moved to tears and  want to share the story of the "Mrs. Warnecke" in their own  lives.  Finding Mrs. Warnecke not only tells the story  of this teacher who made a lasting impact on her students, it  illustrates the importance of the teacher/student relationship in  the classroom, and offers principles for other teachers to follow  to make a positive impact in their own classrooms.
