Kersten traces the history of Art Williams from his impoverished childhood to (infamous) career as one of the greatest counterfeiters in modern times. Though Williams serves as the center, Kersten also provides critical commentary on the institutions that shaped Williams, notably his family structure and the American prison system. The prose proves accessible and enjoyable, but Jim Bond's performance makes the book significantly more intriguing. His deep projection coupled with his matter-of-fact delivery make even the most technical passages enjoyable and relatable, and his masterful emphasis and pace help listeners slip into Williams's psyche.

The most contaminated nuclear plant in the country, Rocky Flats was an environmental disaster and the site of rampant worker unrest. Although it was estimated that it would take 70 years and $36 billion to clean up and close the facility, something stunning happened.

Sandra Cate's pioneering ethnography of art-making at Wat Buddhapadipa, a Thai Buddhist temple in Wimbledon, England, explores contemporary art at the crossroads of identity, authority and value. Between 1984 and 1992, twenty-six young Thai artists painted a series of temple murals that continue to attract worshippers and tourists from around the world. Their work, both celebrated and controversial, depicts stories from the Buddha's lives in otherworldly landscapes punctuated with sly references to this-worldly politics and popular culture. Schooled in international art trends, the artists reverse an Orientalist narrative of the Asian Other, telling their own stories to diverse audiences and subsuming Western spaces into a Buddhist worldview.

American style double-curve bows are a traditional Indian weapon and Ed Scott is considered a master bowyer, or bow maker. An early starter Ed, who now lives in Grants, New Mexico, made his first bow at the age of nine after an uncle taught him the craft. However, after a career in the U.S. Navy and, later, as a tree surgeon, then as a missionary in Botswana, Scott did not return to the craft until about seven years ago when he made a bow for his grandson. After getting into bowmaking again there was no turning back.
In this video Ed explains how he uses and shapes billets of juniper and mesquite, which he then glues sinew, such as elk sinew, to add tensile strength. In making bows, Scott’s process is traditional and everything is done by hand. He explains the importance of tensile strength in the functioning of a good bow. According to Mr Scott, once heated and bent to shape these woods can get up to 10 times more tensile strength than in the wood alone if sinew is glued to the back of the bow.
