FRONTLINE: Post Mortem DVD

Every day, nearly 7,000 people die in America, and the rate of autopsies, the gold standard of death investigation, has plummeted. As a result, not only do murderers go free and innocent people go to jail, but the crisis in death investigation in America is also a threat to public health. FRONTLINE reports the results of a joint investigation with ProPublica, NPR, and the Investigative Reporting Program at UC Berkeley.

The Fractal Geometry of Nature - Hardcover

Imagine an equilateral triangle. Now, imagine smaller equilateral triangles perched in the center of each side of the original and you have a Star of David. Now, place still smaller equilateral triangles in the center of each of the star's 12 sides. Repeat this process infinitely and you have a Koch snowflake, a mind-bending geometric figure with an infinite perimeter. This is an example of the kind of math puzzles that this book addresses.
