Who hasn't watched a TV talk show reuniting birth parents and the children they gave up for adoption or childhood sweethearts and thought, "How do the investigators hired by the shows find these people so easily, when the guests had been searching for them for years?" Wouldn't it be great to know how the investigators do it? People rush to go on those programs because hiring a P.I. can be extremely expensive; the cost per hour for a professional can run from $40 to $200 plus expenses—and specialists—polygraphers, handwriting experts, or fingerprints sleuths—charge even more. The Complete Idiot's Guide® to Private Investigating shows readers the many tricks of the trade that can be handled by anyone with the right information.
Based on a wide reading of letters, diaries and other contemporary documents, Mintz, an historian, and Kellogg, an anthropologist, examine the changing definition of “family” in the United States over the course of the last three centuries, beginning with the modified European model of the earliest settlers. From there they survey the changes in the families of whites (working class, immigrants, and middle class) and blacks (slave and free) since the Colonial years, and identify four deep changes in family structure and ideology: the democratic family, the companionate family, the family of the 1950s, and lastly, the family of the '80s, vulnerable to societal changes but still holding together.
An anthropologist and Sinologist, Stephen W. Mosher, lived and worked in rural China in late 1979 and early 1980. His shocking revelations about conditions there have earned him the condemnation of the Beijing (Peking) government, which denounces him as a "foreign spy."

Liars, Lovers, and Heroes: What the New Brain Science Reveals about How We Become Who We Are
Steven R. Quartz; Terrence J. Sejnowski
William Morrow Company
2003
nidottu
This book combines cutting-edge findings in neuroscience with examples from history and the headlines to introduce the new science of cultural biology, born of advances in brain imaging, computer modeling, and genetics. Doctors Quartz and Sejnowski show how both our noblest and darkest traits are rooted in brain systems so ancient that we share them with insects. They then demystify the dynamic engagement between brain and world that makes us something far beyond the sum of our parts. The authors show how our humanity unfolds in precise stages as brain and world engage on increasingly complex levels. Their discussion embraces shaping forces as ancient as climate change over millennia and events as recent as the terrorism and heroism of September 11, and offers intriguing answers to some of our most enduring questions, including why we live together, love, kill -- and sometimes lay down our lives for others.
