Gothic history of America's oldest cities

In the eighteenth century the first American medical school was established in Philadelphia. Following the model of European universities, anatomical lectures were conducted with cadavers. But where did the bodies come from? Dissection was viewed as a fate worse than death, and the only legal source of "stiffs" was executed criminals. But there were not enough. As the medical profession and its need for "anatomical material" grew, a new, macabre practice emerged: body snatching.

Globalization, long considered the best route to economic prosperity, is not inevitable. An approach built on the principles of free trade and, since the 1980s, open capital markets is beginning to fracture. With disappointing growth rates across the Western world, nations are no longer willing to sacrifice national interests for global growth, nor are their leaders able - or willing - to sell the idea of pursuing a global agenda of prosperity to their citizens.

The true story of two men who turned tools into instruments of terror—and Southern California into a hunting ground. Step into the chilling world of Lawrence Bittaker and Roy Norris, better known as the Toolbox Killers. This gripping true crime book pulls back the curtain on one of the most disturbing serial killer duos in American history. In 1979, a van, a box of everyday tools, and a sinister plan led to a series of horrific crimes that shocked the nation.

In 1976, the body of Anna Mae Aquash, an American Indian luminary, was found frozen in the Badlands of South Dakota—or so the FBI said. After a suspicious autopsy and a rushed burial, friends had Aquash exhumed and found a .32-caliber bullet in her skull. Using this scandal as a point of departure, The Unquiet Grave opens a tunnel into the dark side of the FBI and its subversion of American Indian activists. But the book also discovers things the Indians would prefer to keep buried. What unfolds is a sinuous tale of conspiracy, murder, and cover-up.

In 1994, Rwanda was the scene of the first acts since World War II to be legally defined as genocide. Two years later, Clea Koff, a twenty-three-year-old forensic anthropologist, left the safe confines of a lab in Berkeley, California, to serve as one of sixteen scientists chosen by the United Nations to unearth the physical evidence of the Rwandan genocide.

A podcast that helps give voices back to those who have died. We dig up their stories and share them with you.

Dying is the only club that isn't exclusive. We all get in. Sometime when you have a minute, take a walk through a cemetery and look around.

People who did miraculous things, people who shouldn't just fade into oblivion forever. The Grave Conversations podcast is designed to find interesting people who died, and through research, making contact with their relatives and friends, and a little dumb luck... hopefully be able to paint a picture of the life they lived.

Meet the people who were willing or unwilling participants in the events that made headlines. In cemeteries, gravestones hint at our history – tales of unsolved murders, love lost, mystery, tragedy, health epidemics, scandal and sacrifice. 'Grave Tales' reveals more than the headstone can ever convey by tracing the tumultuous journeys that lead to these final resting places. Thoroughly researched by journalists Helen Goltz and Chris Adams, these stories re-create the lives of those whose graves are featured.

The ancient flint mine Grime’s Graves, in Norfolk, was created over 4,500 years ago, at the same time that Stonehenge was being built.
