|  | No Bone Unturned by Jeff Benedict
Douglas Owsley`s expertise may be considered macabre, but this forensic pathologist for the Smithsonian has been thrust into the limelight by some of the most publicized legal cases of late. Chronicling these battles, NO BONE UNTURNED looks at the role of the forensic pathologist in investigation, documenting how bones give up their secrets in the laboratory. Benedict, author of PUBLIC HEROES, PRIVATE FELONS, provides readers with Owsley` day-in-the-life details and examines how his findings shaped the outcome of legal cases that range from culpability at Waco to the rightful ownership of the Kennebeck Man remains.

 | Distinctively Catholic by Daniel Donovan
Catholicism...is a living community of faith, a community with its own distinctive rituals and structure, its own patterns of individual and collective religious life, writes distinguished theologian Daniel Donovan. What is unique about the Catholic experience of Christianity? What features set it apart from other Christian religions? Donovan explores these questions and more here, offering readers the fruit of his experience from a lifetime of theology and teaching. In eight chapters, Donovan draws attention to certain emphases and characteristics of Catholicism which have influenced and continue to influence the way in which Catholics experience and think about their faith. These include: sense of community; the historical dimension of Catholicism; the objective nature of faith; liturgy and sacraments; ordained ministry; and tension between universal and particular. A final chapter reflects on all the themes and relates them to the concrete experience of individual Catholic believers. AUTHOR: Daniel Donovan
