Caitlin is a very interesting writer and she wrote about a very interesting subject. Starting the book, I had no expectations for what it was going to be like and the first chapter took me by surprise. Day one at her new job, she had to give an old man a clean shave. Normally, people learn the ropes of the whole business for the first few days but she was thrown in right away to shave a man’s face. Luckily, she said she did a great job from the evidence that the family did not notice if she had…

While archaeologists such as Larry Zimmerman claim bones do not have "race" and question the inherent racism of academia (Zimmerman 61), Murray 's reality…

Thirteen years later, I am still saying that same phrase, but only this time it is hitting a little closer to home. I have been waiting 4,745 days to finally be able to say that I am only one year away from achieving that long term goal of mine and I could not be more excited.
