Just a Bunch of Facts is the only book that answers such questions as: How many beehives equal the weight of one space shuttle?How many Americans can't vote because they've been in jail?Why would you not want Oscar the Cat to sleep on your bed?What did Crown Prince Philip of France's horse trip over?What is Hell Money?Who was the first cat in space and where was she from?Who said "Death makes everything useless"?What's wrong with The Paper Clip Maximizer?If the human population continues to grow at its current rate, when will people equal the weight of the Earth?Why are a few wealthy people buying condos in missile silos?When is National Feral Cat Day?Why is a queen bee's stinger not barbed?How should you greet your cell mate when you go to prison?When did cats first start coughing up hairballs on Cyprian rugs?What's so good about a green burial?This is a great bathroom book. Each "fact" is just a page or two long. With every sitting, you can learn a little something that few other people know.

Brief passages on the nature, causes, effects, history, and reform of incarceration. Among the topics are prison conditions, effect on prisoners and families, effectiveness of solitary confinement, famous prison breaks, education in prisons, societal benefits, quotes, and much more.

Brief, insightful notes on prisons, prisoners, and imprisonment, touching on history, atrocities, events, effects, and mostly, the possibilities of reform.

Death is a many splendored thing. And complicated. The issues around it touch on mythology, religion, rites, science, technology, biology, history, psychology, chemistry, stupidity, fossil fuels, body-snatching, racism, buzzards, Congress, coral, hell money, catacombs, poetry, trees, and the deep blue sea.Glenn Alan Cheney's unusual gathering of facts and curiosities regarding death and burial is fascinating...and not nearly as morbid as one might expect. Death happens, and The Merry Burial Compendium is something to read while waiting.

Santa Francisca Cabrini, fundadora de las Misioneras del Sagrado Coraz n de Jes s, fue la primera ciudadana americana canonizada. Su vida fue un torbellino de logros y generosidad. Nada detuvo o ralentiz su ritmo cuando abri escuelas, hospitales e instituciones en Am rica y en Europa.Las Hermanas Misioneras de la Congregaci n que ella fund , han llevado el Carisma de Madre Cabrini a todos los rincones de la tierra. Ellas tampoco han permitido que el peligro o la dificultad les impidan ser las manos de Cristo en la tierra. Sus Manos en la Tierra investiga las vidas y el trabajo de las Hermanas Cabrinianas en algunos de los lugares m s dif ciles y desesperados del mundo. Algunas se han enfrentado a la epidemia del SIDA en Suazilandia. Otras han trabajado en las favelas de Argentina y de Brasil. Otras han vivido entre los pobres en Nicaragua durante la revoluci n. Otras han servido a los m s pobres de los pobres en los distritos controlados por pandillas en la Ciudad de Guatemala. Otras han dado cobijo a migrantes desesperados en un refugio des rtico en el norte de M xico.Estas historias de compasi n, valor, dedicaci n y fe son el retrato de los h roes m s ocultos del mundo. Mientras Glenn Alan Cheney explora sus vidas, saca a la luz situaciones de lugares que a menudo se han pasado por alto. Sus historias hacen historia en un mundo que todav a lucha por lo que es justo, por la dignidad, la justicia, la benevolencia y la paz.

Altre lavorano nelle favelas dell'Argentina e del Brasile. Altre ancora hanno vissuto fra i poveri in Nicaragua durante la rivoluzione. Altre servono i pi poveri dei poveri nei quartieri controllati da gang nella citt del Guatemala. Altre danno accoglienza ai migranti disperati in un rifugio protetto nel deserto del nord Messico. Queste storie di piet , coraggio, dedizione e fede sono il ritratto degli eroi pi nascosti del mondo. Le loro storie fanno la storia nel dipingere un mondo che ancora lotta per ci che giusto, per la dignit , la giustizia, l'amore.
