Books about Burying from Amazon.com

A prolific writer of published articles, Carol Rutter provides the reader with an especially articulate, thoughtful, and thought-provoking discussion of . . . the law of attraction as it relates to relationships and other Universal laws and principles in Burying the Secret.

Drawing upon more than 300 books in the fields of mysticism, psychology, Eastern philosophy, and metaphysics, Carol has compiled and written a particularly reader-friendly and occasionally iconoclastic self-help manual based on key influences that impinge upon the development of the human soul. Among these fundamentals are the learning of lessons, voluntary acts of redemption, sacrifice, and free will.

A seminal work founded upon truly impressive research that spanned a decade, Burying the Secret is very highly recommended for non-specialist general readers with an interest in spirituality, self-improvement, and metaphysics. ---Susan Bethany, Midwest Book Review

Burying the Secret indicts The Secret for its refusal to acknowledge that unanswered prayers are the norm and for its unfathomable premise: The law of attraction always produces dramatic results. In great detail, this book also demonstrates that the law of attraction only works in one of two ways:

First, it may consistently produce manifestations for trivial matters, such as getting great tickets to a popular concert or productive bargain hunting. Second, the law of attraction initially incites a burst of energy that may generate spectacular results at first. However, this reservoir of energy is soon depleted, and stagnation (or even a reversal of fortune) persists for a long time afterwards.

This award-winning book is dedicated to everyone whose dreams and aspirations have been postponed indefinitely by life's inevitable detours.

We fear our own untapped power more than we hate dragging around such an enormous weight, even if our spirit has become as disfigured as Quasimoto's spine. - Burying the Secret

Most fans today know that gamblers and ballplayers conspired to “fix” the 1919 World Series—the Black Sox Scandal It has been touched upon in classic works of sports history such as Eliot Asinof’s Eight Men Out, referred to in literary classics like W. P. Kinsella’s Shoeless Joe, and has been central to two of the best baseball movies ever made, John Sayles’s Eight Men Out and Phil Robinson’s Field of Dreams.

Many, however, would be surprised to learn that it took nearly a year to uncover the fix. Burying the Black Sox is the first book to focus on the cover-up that kept the fix from the American public until almost another whole baseball season was played, and to examine in detail the way events unfolded as the deception was unraveled. Unlike Eliot Asinof in Eight Men Out, previously the definitive book on the subject, Carney thoroughly documents his information and brings together evidence from a wide variety of sources, many not available to Asinof or more recent writers.

In Burying the Black Sox, Gene Carney reveals what else happened and answers the questions that fascinate any baseball fan wondering about baseball’s original dilemma over guilt and innocence. Who else in baseball knew that the fix was in? When did they know? And what did they do about it? Carney explores how Charles Comiskey, the owner of the White Sox, and his fellow owners tried to bury the incident and control the damage, how the conspiracy failed, and how “Shoeless” Joe Jackson attempted to clear his name. He uses primary research materials that weren’t available when Asinof wrote Eight Men Out, including the 1920 grand jury statements by Jackson and pitcher Eddie Cicotte, the diary of Comiskey’s secretary, and the transcripts of Jackson’s 1924 suit against the Sox for back pay. Where Asinof told the story of the eight “Black Sox,” Carney explains the baseball industry’s uncertain response to the scandal..

Joanne Kilbourn is looking forward to a relaxing weekend at the lake with her children and her new grandchild when murder once more wreaks havoc in Regina, Saskatchewan A young colleague at the university where Joanne teaches is found stabbed to death in the basement of the library.

Ariel Warren was a popular lecturer among the students and staff, and her violent death shocks – and divides – Regina’s small and fractious academic community. Kevin Coyle, a professor earlier accused of sexual harassment, is convinced the murder is connected to his case, even as Ariel’s long-time lover, Charlie Dowhanuik, a radio talk-show host, seems to point the finger at himself in his on-air comments on the day of the murder.

Aghast at Charlie’s indiscretion, his father, Howard, asks his old friend Joanne for her help. But before Joanne has a chance to start searching for the truth, she is scorched by the white-hot anger of militant feminists on campus when a vigil for the dead woman turns ugly. Instead of a tribute to Ariel’s life, the vigil becomes an angry protest about violence against women. Some of the women there are certain they know who killed Ariel, and they are out for vengeance.

The everyday family problems and joys Joanne Kilbourn experiences as she solves baffling murder cases have endeared her to a growing number of fans, as have the television movies, starring Wendy Crewson as Joanne. The seventh novel in Gail Bowen’s much-loved series, Burying Ariel offers readers an imaginative, compassionate, and, above all, challenging mystery.

Nick Graves has had a life full of more death than any one man can handle.

The distinguished Kenyan lawyer S.M. Otieno died intestate in 1986; the ensuing struggle between his Kikuyu widow and his Luo clan became a matter of national concern. Debates raged over what legal, cultural, social, and historical grounds should govern the disposition of SM's remains, what legal rights should be enjoyed by widows, and over the interests of the state. While closely scrutinizing the legal case record, the authors examine how history was constructed by the various litigants, counsel, jurists, and witnesses, including an elderly gravedigger and mason, a cook, and a professor of philosophy. The authors invited a half-dozen scholars from different disciplines to discuss "what the case was really about" and "how the story should be told." These brief commentaries are included..
