Brad Smith Fine Art Original Print
9x17 signed, framed fine art print. Totems and Transgenics portray a confluence of biology, culture, and technology through totem-like representations of human embryos based on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The human embryo has become a nexus for deliberating what it means to be an organism, human, a person, and a citizen. The embryo is variously considered in our culture as property, family member, medical cure, bearer of legal rights, experimental material, a potential, and an actualized individual. Even detached from its cultural connotations, the images are compelling. This particular print is in muted greens and browns on a field of deep cranberry and has the appearance of a complex tapestry.
About the donor: Brad Smith is the chair of the art department at the University of Michigan. He holds degrees in anatomy and art from Johns Hopkins University and is known for his MRI research on embryos and his art.

Piece of the Eight Witnesses Monument
On the 100th anniversary of the dedication of the Three Witnesses Monument in Richmond Missouri, a new monument was dedicated to the Eight Witnesses of the Book of Mormon. It stands at the location of the graves of two of the Eight Witnesses to the Book of Mormon, which is also the location of the organization of the first stake in Missouri and the second stake in the Church, and also the location at which Zion's Camp was disbanded. It is just a few miles south of Liberty Missouri. The Eight Witnesses Monument is patterned after the Three Witnesses Monument and the stone from the two monuments is quarried from the same quarry in Vermont as the Joseph Smith birthplace memorial. When the stone was quarried a few extra pieces were quarried as souvenirs. This is one of those historic pieces and has engraved the events of the dedication of the Eight Witnesses monument.
About the donor: Jeremiah Morgan has always had a testimony of the Book of Mormon and knew the truth would be in a church of the restoration. After growing up in the RLDS (now Community of Christ) church, he was baptized into the LDS church at 18 and served a mission in Guam where he got to be a personal witness of the truth of the Book of Mormon.

Commemorative Edition of the 1877 Illustrated Historical Atlas of Jackson County Missouri

Running Into the Wind: 5 Strategies for Building a Successful Team
There
is no other collegiate football program in the world like the one found
at Brigham Young University. None. Certainly that has much to do with
the fact that the school is the largest religious university in the
United States, owned and operated by The Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter-day Saints. But perhaps there is an even more unique
differentiator - a head football coach who is unwavering in his
unorthodox style of mentoring, strengthening, teaching, and even
recuiting his players. Bronco Mendenhall's coaching style is considered
jaw-dropping by many and ludicrous to some. However, no one can overlook
the success the Cougars have had. How does his team consistently win
ten or more games year after year? What philosophy and practices did
Bronco implement to create this sustained success? This copy is
hardbound and signed by all three authors. This book may be a
collector’s item soon as Bronco has coached his last season at BYU!
About
the donor: Alyson Von Feldt is one of the co-authors of this book.
Alyson has worked on organizational designs in both the profit and
non-project sectors. She also writes and customizes design materials for
individual organizations. She has a master’s in organizational behavior
from BYU and serves on the BYU Alumni Kansas City Chapter Board.
