  Excavated from a waterlogged archaeological site on the shores of subtropical Florida by legendary anthropologist Frank Hamilton Cushing in 1896, the Key Marco Cat has become a modern icon of heritage, history, and local identity. This book takes listeners into the deep past of the artifact and the Native American society in which it was created. 
   
   
   
  Austin Bell explores nine periods in the life of the six-inch-high wooden carving, beginning with how it was sculpted with shell and shark-tooth tools and what it may have represented to the ancient Calusa—perhaps a human-panther god. Preserved in the muck for centuries on Marco Island and discovered in pristine condition due to its oxygen-free environment, the Cat has since traveled more than 12,000 miles and has been viewed by millions of people. In this fascinating account, Bell traces the clues to the Cat's mysterious origins that have emerged in its later lives. 
   
   
   
  Captivating listeners with the miracle and beauty of this rare example of pre-Columbian art, Bell marvels at how an object originally understood to hold cosmological power has indeed transformed the people and places around it. The Nine Lives of Florida's Famous Key Marco Cat is the story of a timeless masterpiece of staggering simplicity that has prevailed over impossibly long odds.

  Urban Crime and Safety -...

  Urban crime is a complex and pervasive issue that affects millions of people across the globe. As cities continue to grow and evolve, the challenges of maintaining safety and reducing criminal activity become more pressing. Urban areas, often characterized by dense populations, diverse social dynamics, and limited resources, can create an environment where crime thrives. These cities face a unique set of circumstances that contribute to the rise of criminal activities, ranging from petty theft to violent crimes. The relationship between urban crime and safety is multifaceted and requires a comprehensive understanding of its causes, impact, and the strategies necessary for effective crime prevention. 
  The rise in urban crime can be attributed to several factors, including social inequality, economic disparity, inadequate law enforcement, and environmental design issues. High levels of poverty, unemployment, and lack of education in certain neighborhoods often serve as breeding grounds for criminal behavior. In many urban centers, individuals with limited opportunities turn to crime as a means of survival or social mobility. The breakdown of social networks and a lack of community cohesion further exacerbate these challenges, making it difficult to foster a sense of security and mutual trust among residents. 
  Urban crime also places a significant strain on local law enforcement and public resources. Police departments are often overwhelmed by the volume and diversity of crimes that occur in cities. Additionally, urban environments may present logistical challenges for law enforcement agencies, such as limited manpower, insufficient technology, and high crime concentrations in certain areas. This can lead to delayed responses, reduced effectiveness, and strained relations between law enforcement and the communities they serve.

  A former officer grapples with the reality of our broken police culture 
   
   
   
  Our society has long been stuck in cultural and ideological battles about police brutality and the police force's broken relationship with our communities. Rethinking the Police promises to start a more hopeful conversation. 
   
   
   
  Daniel Reinhardt spent twenty-four years as a police officer near Cleveland, Ohio. He was long unaware of the ways the culture of the police department was shaping him, but gradually, through his own experiences as a police officer and through the mentorship of Black Christians in his life, his eyes were opened to a difficult truth: police brutality against racial minorities was endemic to the culture of the system itself. 
   
   
   
  In Rethinking the Police, Reinhardt lays out a history of policing in the United States, showing how it developed a culture of dehumanization, systemic racism, and brutality. But Reinhardt doesn't stop there: he offers a new model of policing based not in dominance and control but in a culture of servant leadership, with concrete suggestions for procedural justice and community policing.
