Tangrams are ancient Chinese, ingenious puzzles. They are deceptively simple in design, yet can stump even the most seasoned of puzzlers. Then, the light clicks on and the answer suddenly seems so obvious. It's amazing that so many puzzles can be solved with the exact same 7 shapes. The State of Utah earned the nickname of "the crossroads of the West" because so many people journeyed through it on their way to California, Oregon, or elsewhere. It's dry climate and high Rocky Mountains helps it produce powdery snow that's ideal for skiing and giving rise to the claim of "the greatest snow on earth!" Utah was settled by pioneers and is home to a host of interesting sites and activities. With over 11,000 miles of rivers and streams, plenty of trails through mountains and valleys, and awe-inspiring sandstone cliffs, arches, hoodoo, and slot canyons, there is plenty to see and do. This book pays tribute to many of these with original designs that will surely both puzzle and delight. Following a brief introduction to tangrams, the main portion of the book provides challenging or whimsical puzzles to solve. The book is arranged to show a silhouetted puzzle, followed by its solution. This is followed by tidbits and trivia about tangrams and some famous people who have tinkered with tangrams over the years. It also provides some tips and suggestions for those with a competitive streak. The text sections of the books in this series are essentially the same, but the heart of the book - the part that includes the tangram puzzles - remains unique. Most of the puzzles have been designed by the author, Doug Nufer. This book series was featured on the NewsWatch TV program on Discovery Channel: http://newswatchtv.com/2015/12/18/tangram-fury Go on!

In 1993, Donna Palomba was raped by a masked assailant in her own home. Yet, her story is more than a victim’s tale of physical and emotional recovery. It is a story of one woman’s hunt for justice while fending off attacks by institutions designed to defend and protect her—the police department, the local government, and a community clinging to an outrageous claim that Donna had invented the crime to cover up a sexual affair. From the night of the attack, the botched crime scene investigation, and the abuse as authorities attempted to close the case by discrediting her, Donna was left as a victim with no name and no identity. Meanwhile, there was one courageous detective, later to become chief of police, who broke a cops’ code of silence in the name of justice. As they fought on, a legal battle ensued after the Waterbury Police Department—now with media support—refused to let go of its allegations against her and admit wrongdoing. Finally, after eleven years of struggle, Donna learned the identity of her attacker from the chief of police, who explained that the DNA from the rape kit taken a decade ago had turned up a shocking match. In 2007, Donna Palomba was the subject of a special two-hour Dateline episode about her case. Suddenly, she was Jane Doe no more, launching the Jane Doe No More organization and becoming a promoter of the rights of women and victims of sexual assault. With the help of crime investigator and author M. William Phelps, this is her story.
