Frozen in Time: Hunting Meteorites in Antarctica for Signs of Life is the coming of age story of now world-renowned astrobiologist Dr. Daniel "Danny" Glavin who spent six weeks as a meteorite hunter in Antarctica as a member of the 2002-2003 Antarctic Search for Meteorites Team. The twelve-member ANSMET team recovered near record numbers of meteories during their season.
While risking his life to survive the extreme, isolated and relentless Antarctic enviornment on a daily basis, doggedly searching for meteorites, Glavin also battled his own inner demons and searched his soul. He discovered himself and, in a surprising twist, what he truly wanted to do with his life.
The authors make the science come alive in an easily understandable and enjoyable way. The meteorites themselves as well as the science become likeable and relatable characters with story arcs through clear, honest and often humorous writing.
Frozen in Time is a modern, true adventure story that homes in on what is most important in surviving not only Antarctica, but life itself.

This coffee table book is about the street art and graffiti of Comuna 13 in Medellin, Colombia. Once one of the most dangerous neighborhood in Medellin, Colombia, Comuna 13 was known for guerrilla and gang activities, including drugs and gun trafficking.
From the early 1980s, Medellin was controlled by Pablo Escobar, the infamous drug lord, but by 1993 after his death, many drug cartels sought control of the city and the violence continued to rise. However in recent years, Comuna 13 has become more known for its powerful graffiti murals and street art performances, which depict the conflict and hardship experienced by the community, the impact of the government intervention and the strength and importance of the community's actions that helped to put an end to the violence in the community.
This street art renaissance started with two main street artists, @YesGraff and @Chota_13, who used the walls of Comuna 13 as their canvas to raise awareness and display the community's difficult past, bringing hope to its people and a recent steady stream of visitors.
This collection of Comuna 13's murals highlights the community's most popular artistry. Within every art piece, there is the artist's interpretation or the view in which the artist intend for the viewers to interpret. With the help of the talented, Elizabeth Ray, each mural is paired with a poetic exposition.
