Synopsis The Lion's Grave by : Jon Lee Anderson
Two weeks after the terrorist attacks of 11 September 2001, Jon Lee Anderson gained access to Afghanistan from where he filed some of the most outstanding accounts of the fall of the Taliban. This book brings these graphic pieces together in one remarkable volume. The Lion's Grave includes a previously unpublished account of the search for Osama bin Laden in the caves of Tora Bora and reveals the inside story of the assassination of the charismatic opposition leader Ahmed Shah Massoud. John Lee Anderson has woven together gritty up-to-the-minute observations, probing interviews and powerful storytelling to create a compelling portrait of high-technology warfare in a feudal terrain. Supplemented by vivid and hitherto unseen commentary, The Lion's Grave establishes itself immediately as a classic of war journalism.

Synopsis The Athenians and Their Graves (1000–300 BC) by : Elena Walter-Karydi
This book offers the first in-depth study of Attic funerary monuments during the geometric, archaic, and classical period. The analysis of forms, images and inscriptions shows, from an anthropological perspective, the Athenian attitude towards death in its fundamental difference to Christian occidental views. The book, which was originally published in German, is revised.

Synopsis Lincoln's Grave Robbers (Scholastic Focus) by : Steve Sheinkin
A true crime thriller -- the first book for teens to tell the nearly unknown tale of the brazen attempt to steal Abraham Lincoln's body. Reissued in Scholastic Focus, with an exciting new cover. The action begins in October of 1875, as Secret Service agents raid the Fulton, Illinois, workshop of master counterfeiter Ben Boyd. Soon after Boyd is hauled off to prison, members of his counterfeiting ring gather in the back room of a smoky Chicago saloon to discuss how to spring their ringleader. Their plan: grab Lincoln's body from its Springfield tomb, stash it in the sand dunes near Lake Michigan, and demand, as a ransom, the release of Ben Boyd -- and $200,000 in cash. From here, the action alternates between the conspirators, the Secret Service agents on their trail, and the undercover agent moving back and forth between them. Along the way readers get glimpses into the inner workings of counterfeiting, grave robbing, detective work, and the early days of the Secret Service. The plot moves toward a wild climax as robbers and lawmen converge at Lincoln's tomb on election night: November 7, 1876.A dynamic and thrilling tale from critically acclaimed author Steve Sheinkin.

Synopsis Grave Gossip: You're Not Forgotten by : Sam Silver
Why would a cemetery need a clock tower? The dead cannot tell time, right? Why were some beautifully kept up and others abandoned? Why did some have guards with guns at the gate? I started to read up on histories and any other information on cemeteries I could get my hands on. A general search for any and all cemeteries began. Dead men may not tell tales, but the symbols on their tombstones do. What religion were they? What club did they belong to? What was their occupation? All and more can be found on monuments. Don't be afraid, open the gate and come in.
