  “Presents an understanding of the science, skills, and craft of the archaeologist and how these can be used to unravel many criminal mysteries.” —Police History Society Newsletter   Today, police forces all over the world use archaeological techniques to help them solve crimes—and archaeologists are using the same methods to identify and investigate crimes in the past.   This book introduces some of those techniques, and explains how they have been used not only to solve modern crimes, but also to investigate past wrongdoing. Past Crimes presents archaeological and historical evidence of crimes from mankind’s earliest days, as well as evidence of how criminals were judged and punished.   Each society has had a different approach to law and order, and these approaches are discussed here with examples ranging from Ancient Egypt to Victorian England—police forces, courts, prisons, and executions have all left their traces in the physical and written records. Also discussed here is how the development of forensic approaches has been used to collect and analyze evidence that were invented by pioneer criminologists.   From the murder of a Neanderthal man to bank fraud in the nineteenth century, via ancient laws about religion and morality and the changes in social conditions and attitudes, a wide range of cases are included—some terrible crimes, some amusing anecdotes, and some forms of ancient law-breaking that remain very familiar.

  In the arena of spirituality, there are unique and remarkable spiritual people who have achieved the highest levels of spiritual development.    Some remain in seclusion, while others become spiritual teachers who support the spiritual transformation of humanity.    But to meet a Gnani Purush (embodiment of Self knowledge), and to access their spiritual power to achieve spiritual enlightenment, is extremely rare.    One such Gnani Purush of recent time is Dada Bhagwan. The Audio book "Autobiography Of Gnani Purush A.M.Patel", compiled from transcribed satsangs, describes his own process of instant enlightenment in his own words.    Before achieving sudden enlightenment, Dadashri had led a spiritual life of tremendous spiritual awareness. Nonetheless, his spiritual awakening and his ability to bestow Self realization upon others, is remarkable and fascinating.    In the context of his own spiritual biography, Dadashri reveals the science of Self realization, describing how one can attain knowledge of Self and, thereafter, ultimate liberation, or moksha.    Whether on a spiritual quest to discover what is spiritual enlightenment, or to learn about great spiritual people of recent history, this Audio book is an invaluable resource. Among the many spiritual Audio books available today, "Autobiography Of Gnani Purush A.M.Patel" is certain to inspire any spiritual seeker who reads it.

  Few families can boast of not one but two saints among their ancestors, a great-aunt who was the last tsarina of Russia, a father who was Grace Kelly's pinup, and a grandmother who was not only a princess but could also argue the finer points of naval law. Pamela Mountbatten entered a remarkable family when she was born at the very end of the Roaring Twenties.As the younger daughter of the glamorous heiress Edwina Ashley and Lord Louis Mountbatten, Pamela spent much of her early life with her sister, nannies, and servants-and a menagerie that included, at different times, a bear, two wallabies, a mongoose, and a lion. Her parents each had lovers who lived openly with the family. The house was always full of guests like Sir Winston Churchill, Noël Coward, Douglas Fairbanks, and the Duchess of Windsor (who brought a cold cooked chicken as a hostess gift).When World War II broke out, Lord Mountbatten was in command of HMS Kelly before being appointed chief of Combined Operations, and Pamela and her sister were sent to live on Fifth Avenue in New York City with Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt. In 1947, her parents were appointed to be the last viceroy and vicereine of India and oversee the transfer of power to an independent Indian government. Amid the turmoil of political change, Pamela worked with student leaders, developed warm friendships with Gandhi and Nehru, and witnessed both the joy of Independence Day and its terrible aftermath. Soon afterwards, she was a bridesmaid in Princess Elizabeth's wedding to Prince Philip, and was a lady-in-waiting at the young princess's side when she learned her father had died and she was queen.Vivid and engaging, well-paced and superbly detailed, this witty, intimate memoir is an enchanting lens through which to view the early part of the twentieth century.

  Russell Brand explores the idea of mentoring and shares what he's learned from the guidance of his own helpers, heroes, and mentors. 
  Could happiness lie in helping others and being open to accepting help yourself? Mentors — the follow-up to the New York Times best seller Recovery — describes the benefits of seeking and offering help. 
  "I have mentors in every area of my life, as a comic, a dad, a recovering drug addict, a spiritual being and as a man who believes that we, as individuals and the great globe itself, are works in progress and that through a chain of mentorship we can improve individually and globally, together.... One of the unexpected advantages my drug addiction granted is that the process of recovery that I practise includes a mentorship tradition. 
  "I will encourage you to find mentors of your own and explain how you may better use the ones you already have. Furthermore, I will tell you about my experiences mentoring others and how invaluable that has been on my ongoing journey to self-acceptance and how it has helped me to transform from a bewildered and volatile vagabond to a (mostly) present and (usually) focussed husband and father." (Russell Brand) 
  Mentors: How to Help and Be Helped describes the impact that a series of significant people have had on the author — from the wayward youths he tried to emulate growing up in Essex, through the first ex-junkie sage, to the people he turns to today to help him be a better father. It explores how we all — consciously and unconsciously — choose guides, mentors, and heroes throughout our lives and examines the new perspectives they can bring.
