Description:


An anthropologist working with forensic teams and victims' families to investigate crimes against humanity in Latin America explores what science can tell us about the lives of the dead in this haunting account of grief, the power of ritual, and a quest for justice.



"Exhumation can divide brothers and restore fathers, open old wounds and open the possibility of regeneration-of building something new with the pile of broken mirrors that is loss and mourning."



Over the course of Guatemala's thirty-year armed conflict -the longest ever in Central America-over 200,000 people were killed. During Argentina's military dictatorship in the seventies, over 30,000 people were disappeared. Today, forensic anthropologists in each country are gathering evidence to prove atrocities and seek justice. But these teams do more than just study skeletons-they work to repair families and countries torn apart by violence.



In Still Life with Bones, anthropologist Alexa Hagerty learns to see the dead body with a forensic eye. She examines bones for evidence of torture and fatal wounds-hands bound by rope, cuts from machetes-but also for signs of a life lived: to articulate how life shapes us down to the bone. A weaver is recognized from the tiny bones of the toes, molded by years of kneeling before a loom; a girl is identified alongside her pet dog. In the tenderness of understanding these bones, Hagerty discovers how exhumation serves as a ritual in the naming and placement of the dead, and connects ancestors with future generations. She shows us how this work can bring meaning to families deal

Small clip, big help
Size: S
I've been making wine for 3 years now. Due to a cramped work area I use about 20 carboys which makes for lots of siphoning each time I need to re-rack. This small clip has made the process so much less hassle. It clips nicely to the 3, 5 and 6 gallon glass carboys that I use. It's tight enough on the siphon tube to prevent slippage. Pro-tip: Once your siphon is started, slide the clip around the rim of the carboy to position it under the siphon hose. This will keep the siphon tube fairly straight up and down in the carboy. Otherwise, the weight and pressure of the hose will cause the tube to not be vertical and you'll miss a larger portion of your beverage in the re-rack than you would if the tube were perfectly vertical.

Hold the tube. Save the world.
Size: S
Very great item. The printing resolution is very good and you can tell from the rigidity that it was not sparsely filled. Helps holds siphons onto my 5gal glass carboy and plastic bucket. I also used it to weigh down my siphon tube for a makeshift blow off tube during fermentation. Would recommend.

Very small
Size: S
I tried to use it for something it wasn’t advertised for so it’s partially my fault. I tried to use to hold wa washer discharge hose. The specs don’t say the size. This thing is tiny… it really is just for a tubing… and when I tried to return it they wanted to charge me almost as much as the original price… not worth it unless you know it will work

You gotta have this if you brew alone
Size: S
This is such a cheap item, but makes a huge difference in the clarity of your final product. The bottling process is delicate in that you don't want to stir up the trub at the bottom while you are siphoning to the bottling bucket. This thing is sweet. It holds the auto-siphon perfectly still while you move the beer to the bucket and you can walk away to do other stuff. The trick is to lower it just enough that it avoids sucking up the sediment at the bottom of the carboy.
