So much, then, for the fidelity and accu-’ racy of Dr. Macculloch’s statements respecting the character and manners of the Highlanders, and for the literary merits of this magnum opus. The former have been impugned on grounds too firm to be shaken ; of the latter, from the foregoing criticisms, the reader will be enabled to form his own judgment. The way being therefore’cleared, we shall now, in conformity with our design, proceed to examine, as briefly as possible, those of the Doctor’s economical statements and doctrines, which are intended to serve either as an apology for the violent changes which have been already effect- ed, or as a recommendation for the further extension of the system presently in operation in the north of Scotland. Every body has remarked how thoroughly the spirit of change has become incorporated with the public mind of the age. We shall not stop at present to inquire whether this be a natural consequence of the general diffusion of knowledge, and the dissemination of what are called liberal opinions, or a result of circumstances and principles accidentally developed by the course of political events ; the fact itself is admitted on all hands ; and the best evidence of it is, that the men who profess an anti-reformatory creed, resist all projects of general improvement, and are never weary extolling ” |

These issues almost overwhelmed him until he had a dramatic epiphany.

All Rise $22.99 By the author of the bestselling Somebodies and Nobodies: Overcoming the Abuse of Rank Argues that rankism–abuse of the power that comes with superior rank–does serious damage to our private relationships and public institutions Details how to design social institutions that overcome rankism and protect human dignity Learn more at www.BreakingRanks.net In his groundbreaking book Somebodies and Nobodies, Robert Fuller identified a form of domination that everyone has experienced but few dare to protest: rankism, abuse of the power inherent in rank to exploit and humiliate someone of lower rank. It plays a role in just about every form of social oppression n racism, sexism, homophobia, and religious intolerance all have a significant element of rankism in them. Most everyone has felt the sting of rankism–at the hands of a dictatorial boss, a condescending teacher, an arrogant doctor, or an imperious bureaucrat. But, equally, most everyone has inflicted it on someone of lower rank. That we are, all of us, both victims and perpetrators of rankism mandates a novel, multifaceted strategy for confronting it. Fuller isn't proposing that we do away with rank–without it organizations become dysfunctional. He's not advocating an egalitarian society where all are equal in rank but rather a ''dignitarian'' one where all are equal in dignity: a society in which rankholders are held accountable, rankism is shunned, and dignity is broadly protected. In All Rise, Fuller lays the groundwork for a dignitarian society by delineating the scope and impact of rankism and then shows how a dignitarian movement can defeat it by addressing issues such as: What would workplaces, schools, health-care organizations, politics, religion, and international relations look like if they were to embody dignitarian values? What policies could we develop to defend dignity in our various social institutions? |

Ancianidad, camino sin retorno?/ Aging, Path With No Return? $13.86 Old Age: One-way Path?We all want to reach old age. In fact, we need to. What we do not know is how we are going to live our late years and this tends to become a source of anxiety, even more so than death.

However, our society has not been able to solve the problems associated to this growing elderly population. Whether ailing or healthy, lucid or senile, all elderly people are vulnerable and face a harsh reality for which we must be socially and individually prepared. What can be done? What can be prevented? Doctor Ernesto Lammoglia takes us through the later years of our life. With his habitual straightforward clarity and ironic, he takes a look at old age and its physical, mental, emotional, and social aspects. |

Around the Red Lamp $5.01 Tales of Victorian Medicine as told by one of the great story tellers of all time…Arthur Conan Doyle. M.D.Everyone knows Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. His Sherlock Holmes mysteries have become classics in western literature. But not everyone knows that Conan Doyle was also a physician-an ophthalmologist to be precise. In fact, it was his unfortunate lack of patients that gave Doyle the time he needed to write, and resulted in the creation of Sherlock Holmes.But Doyle’s output was not limited to mystery writing. His historical novels and short stories were very popular throughout his lifetime. It was only natural therefore that, sooner or later, he would turn his attention to writing about medicine. He did this in 1894 with the publication of Round the Red Lamp.These are stories of medicine as it used to be. It was a time before production-line office visits, before computerized CAT scans-for that matter, it was even before X-rays had been invented. It was an era when physicians routinely made house calls; and the “family doc” not only knew your medical history, but that of your parents and your grandparents as well. He knew it because he had personally treated all three generations.Around the Red Lamp is a priceless insight into those times. Doctors treat the sick, but where does a Victorian doctor turn when he is the one who is ill? No physician enjoys seeing a patient die; but leave it to an old soldier to show a young doctor how to die with courage and honor. What’s a small town doctor to do when he suddenly finds himself facing competition-especially when the competition is coming from the loveliest female physician he has ever seen?All thesestories and more in Around the Red Lamp |

Between Doctors and Patients: The Changing Balance of Power $4.6 The tremendous advances and discoveries in medical science over the past two hundred years have led to fundamental changes in the curative powers and so in the perception of doctors. In the early nineteenth century, doctors were hardly more than skilled tradesmen, and hospitals were merely dumping places for the indigent sick. Now, at the end of the twentieth century, hospitals have become temples of science where doctors daily perform near miracles.In Between Doctors and Patients, Lilian R. Furst brings together the seemingly incompatible worlds of medicine and literature to illustrate the changing balance of power between doctors and patients since the evolution of modem medicine. Linking popular novels with recent works of medical history, she offers an astute portrait of medicine’s emergence from a semi-quack profession to one of the most revered in contemporary society. Furst shows how vividly such novels as Eliot’s Middle-march, Lewis’s Arrowsmith, and the stories of Conan Doyle reveal the changing role of doctors from once-modest supplicants to powerful healers.Although there are many books on the mechanics of doctor-patient interaction, none has previously confronted the philosophical and psychological issues of power and trust that bind these figures. One consequence of their changed relationship, Furst asserts, has been the decrease of interest in patients as individuals. In this time of impersonal HMOs and spiraling health care costs, she hopes that doctors and patients can learn from the past and eventually find a mutually beneficial balance of power that will see medicine as both a science and an art, and recognize human understanding as an integral element ofhealing. |

Bloodletting and Miraculous Cures $14.99 Bloodletting & Miraculous Cures welcomes readers into a world where the most mundane events can quickly become life or death. By following four young medical students and physicians – Ming, Fitz, Sri and Chen – this debut collection from 2006 Scotiabank Giller Prize winner Vincent Lam is a riveting, eye-opening account of what it means to be a doctor. Deftly navigating his way through 12 interwoven short stories, the author explores the characters’ relationships with each other, their patients, and their careers. Lam draws on his own experience as an emergency room physician and shares an insider’s perspective on the fears, frustrations, and responsibilities linked with one of society’s most highly regarded occupations. “I wanted to write about the way in which a person changes as they become a physician — how their world view shifts, and how they become a slightly different version of themselves in the process of becoming a doctor,” Lam explains. “I wanted to write about the reality that doing good and trying to help others is not simple. It is ethically complicated and sometimes involves a reality that can only be expressed by telling a story.”In the book’s first story, “How to Get into Medical School, Part 1,” students Ming and Fitz wrestle with their opposing personalities and study techniques, while coming to terms with a growing emotional connection that elicits disapproval from Ming’s traditional Chinese-Canadian parents. Lam’s exceptional talent for describing scenarios with great precision is showcased in “Take All of Murphy,” when Ming, Chen, and Sri find themselves at a moral crossroads while dissecting a cadaver. Throughout the book, readers are treated to the physicians’ internal thoughts and the mental drama involved with treating patients, including Fitz’s struggle with self-doubt in “Code Clock” and Chen’s |

Blue Collar, Blue Scrubs: The Making of a Surgeon $9.99 It looked for a while like Michael Collins would spend his life breaking concrete and throwing rocks for the Vittorio Scalese Construction Company. He liked the work and he liked the pay. But a chance remark by one of his coworkers made him realize that he wanted to involve himself in something bigger, something more meaningful than crushing rocks and drinking beer. In his acclaimed first memoir, Hot Lights, Cold Steel, Collins wrote passionately about his four-year surgical residency at the prestigious Mayo Clinic. Blue Collar, Blue Scrubs turns back the clock, taking readers from his days as a construction worker to his entry into medical school, expertly infusing his journey to become a doctor with humanity, compassion and humor. From the first time he delivers a baby to being surrounded by death and pain on a daily basis, Collins compellingly writes about how medicine makes him confront, in a very deep and personal way, the nature of God and suffering—and how delicate life can be. |

Blue Turquoise, White Shell $5.5 Patrician Boston doctor Cabot W.W. Chase has made a bargain with his granddaughter Lily. He will pay all her expenses through Harvard Medical School if at the end of her studies she will spend a year on the Navajo Reservation Indian Hospital, where he had been a doctor following WWII. She is reluctant, suspecting her grandfather has emotional ties to the Navajo, but agrees. Slowly she acclimates herself, coming to admire the people and her surroundings. Lily, now known as Cabot, meets a young Navajo lawyer, Nicholas Nakai, who is running for the seat in the newly mandated United States Congressional district. She is drawn to him, yet finds it difficult to picture herself with an Indian man. As their relationship deepens, Nicholas’ tribal elders become alarmed at his liaison with the white doctor; they prefer to have him take a Navajo wife to Washington. They go to Cabot and tell her she must leave the reservation. Broken hearted, she returns to Massachusetts. Woven into the main story is the tale of Daago, a Navajo headman’s daughter, and how she is won in a poker game by Captain Nathaniel Cabot, medical officer of the Army of theWest in 1862, and how she kills him to escape, only to later bear his child, Kaab’t. Unknown to Cabot and Nicholas, they discover Kaab’t is their common ancestor. |

Now a medical student in his third year, Nathan realizes there are still things to be learned about faith, blessings, and sacrifice.

Circles and Lines: The Shape of Life in Early America $19.95 In this intimate, engaging book, John Demos offers an illuminating portrait of how colonial Americans, from the first settlers to the postrevolutionary generation, viewed their life experiences. He also offers an invaluable inside look into the craft of a master social historian as he unearths—in sometimes unexpected places—fragments of evidence that help us probe the interior lives of people from the faraway past.The earliest settlers lived in a traditional world of natural cycles that shaped their behavior: day and night; seasonal rhythms; the lunar cycle; the life cycle itself. Indeed, so basic were these elements that “almost no one felt a need to comment on them.” Yet he finds cyclical patterns—in the seasonal foods they ate, in the spike in marriages following the autumn harvest. Witchcraft cases reveal the different emotional reactions to day versus night, as accidental mishaps in the light become fearful nighttime mysteries. During the transitional world of the American Revolution, people began to see their society in newer terms but seemed unable or unwilling to come to terms with that novelty. Americans became new, Demos points out, before they fully understood what it meant. Their cyclical frame of reference was coming unmoored, giving way to a linear world view in early nineteenth-century America that is neatly captured by Kentucky doctor Daniel Drake’s description of the chronography of his life.In his meditation on these three worlds, Demos brilliantly demonstrates how large historical forces are reflected in individual lives. With the imaginative insights and personable touch that we have come to expect from this fine chronicler of the human condition, Circles and Lines is vintage John Demos. |

Class Matters $16 The acclaimed New York Times series on social class in America—and its implications for the way we live our lives We Americans have long thought of ourselves as unburdened by class distinctions. We have no hereditary aristocracy or landed gentry, and even the poorest among us feel that they can become rich through education, hard work, or sheer gumption. And yet social class remains a powerful force in American life. In Class Matters, a team of New York Times reporters explores the ways in which class—defined as a combination of income, education, wealth, and occupation—influences destiny in a society that likes to think of itself as a land of opportunity. We meet individuals in Kentucky and Chicago who have used education to lift themselves out of poverty and others in Virginia and Washington whose lack of education holds them back. We meet an upper-middle-class family in Georgia who moves to a different town every few years, and the newly rich in Nantucket whose mega-mansions have driven out the longstanding residents. And we see how class disparities manifest themselves at the doctor’s office and at the marriage altar. For anyone concerned about the future of the American dream, Class Matters is truly essential reading. “Class Matters is a beautifully reported, deeply disturbing, portrait of a society bent out of shape by harsh inequalities. Read it and see how you fit into the problem or—better yet—the solution!”—Barbara Ehrenreich, author of Nickel and Dimed and Bait and Switch |

Clutch: Why Some People Excel under Pressure and Others Don’t $25.95 Is clutch performance innate-or can it be learned? Sooner or later everyone encounters a situation in which the stakes are high and the outcome is crucial. And even top performers can crumble when faced with such extreme pressure. Consider the CEO who panics in a desperate attempt to shore up his company’s earnings, the veteran politician who grows overconfident and loses to the upstart candidate, the quarterback who carries his team to the Super Bowl but falls apart in the final quarter. All of them choked. But then there are the performers who thrive under such conditions: the ER doctor racing the clock to save someone’s life, the lieutenant who leads his platoon to victory after an ambush, the young attorney who refuses to be intimidated in court and wins the crucial case. These people are clutch, and their ability to overcome extreme pressure consistently and beat the toughest odds fascinates us. How do they do it? According to Paul Sullivan, clutch performance does not stem from an innate ability. It’s a learned skill: the art of operating in high-stress situations as if they were everyday conditions. Even some of the most experienced and talented performers lack this skill-but Sullivan shows that anyone can develop it. Drawing on new research and interviews with stars across a range of fields, Sullivan uncovers the shared traits that define clutch performers and explains how anyone can apply their strategies. He builds his case through many inspiring true stories, including those of • a skinny sergeant who saved his battalion in Iraq; • a rookie baseball player who pitched his team into its first World Series; • an eccentric psychiatrist who trained a group of financial traders to become the best in the world; • a lawyer who struggled in school but became one of the top litigators in America. Full of powerful advice and real-world examples, Clutch will show you how to overcome extreme pressure |

Excerpt“Confound it, Carnes, I am on my vacation!”“I know it, Doctor, and I hate to disturb you, but I felt that I simply had to. I have one of the weirdest cases on my hands that I have ever been mixed up in and I think that you’ll forgive me for calling you when I tell you about it.”Dr. Bird groaned into the telephone transmitter.“I took a vacation last summer, or tried to, and you hauled me away from the best fishing I have found in years to help you on a case. This year I traveled all the way from Washington to San Francisco to get away from you and the very day that I get here you are after me. I won’t have anything to do with it. Where are you, anyway?”“I am at Fallon, Nevada, Doctor. I’m sorry that you won’t help me out because the case promises to be unusually interesting. Let me at least tell you about it.”Dr. Bird groaned louder than ever into the telephone transmitter.“All right, go ahead and tell me about it if it will relieve your mind, but I have given you my final answer. I am not a bit interested in it.”“That is quite all right, Doctor, I don’t expect you to touch it. I hope, however, that you will be able to give me an idea of where to start. Did you ever see a man’s body broken in pieces?”“Do you mean badly smashed up?”“No indeed, I mean just what I said, broken in pieces. Legs snapped off as though the entire flesh had become brittle.”“No, I didn’t, and neither did anyone else.”“I have seen it, Doctor.”“Hooey! What had you been drinking?”Operative Carnes of the United States Secret Service |

Learn To Identify What Illness Or Injury May Be Affecting Your Child and What You Should Do to Help Them!Childhood should be a fun time for a child but there will be times when your child will get hurt or become ill. As a parent it’s up to you to help them thru the rough times. We all love our children and want them to be healthy and happy all the time. However the reality is that there will always be a time when something happens and they get hurt or sick.Children get sick more than adults because their immune systems are still maturing and they don’t yet know how to avoid picking up germs. Children also tend to get hurt a lot because they are so active with running, jumping, climbing, exploring and all the other many activities they do. Sometimes when they have certain aches and pains we are not sure if it’s simply a bug that will pass or if it could be something more serious. How do we determine when we need to take them to a Doctor or simply treat them at home with home remedies or over the counter treatments? It’s not always easy to tell but with some guidelines we can get a better idea. Is a Sneeze Just a Sneeze or is it a Virus or An Allergy? You’ve heard the term “growing pains” but is there really such a thing as true pain when a child as growing? Find out in the “Common Childhood Maladies” guide! Let’s take a look at just some of things your child could experience in their childhood. Chicken Pox Ear Infections Eczema Colds Flu Pinkeye Urinary Tract Infections Food Allergies Skin conditions Cuts, Scrapes and Bruises Stomach aches Pinworms Warts The list could go on and on, but these are some of the most common things your child could experience.

Confessions of a Yakuza $11 This is the true story, as told to the doctor who looked after him just before he died, of the life of one of the last traditional yakuza in Japan. It wasn’t a good life, in either sense of the word, but it was an adventurous one; and the tale he has to tell presents an honest and oddlyattractive picture of an insider in that separate, unofficial world. In his low, hoarse voice, he describes the random events that led the son of a prosperous country shopkeeper to become a member, and ultimately the leader, of a gang organizing illegal dice games in Tokyo’s liveliest entertainment area. He talks about his first police raid, and the brutalinterrogation and imprisonment that followed it. He remembers his first love affair, and the girl he ran away with, and the weeks they spent wandering about the countryside together. Briefly, and matter-of-factly, he describes how he cut off the little finger of his left hand as a ritual gesture ofapology. He explains how the games were run and the profits spent; why the ties between members of the brotherhood were so important; and how he came to kill a man who worked for him. What emerges is a contradictory personality: tough but not unsentimental; stubborn yet willing to take life more or less as it comes; impulsive but careful to observe the rules of the business he had joined. And in the end, when his tale is finished, you feel you would probably have liked him if you’d met him in person. Fortunately, Dr. Saga’s record of his long conversations with him provides a wonderful substitute for that meeting. |

Converts to Roman Catholicism From Hinduism: Bobby Jindal $10.37 Purchase includes free access to book updates online and a free trial membership in the publisher’s book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: Piyush “Bobby” Jindal (born June 10, 1971) is a former member of the United States House of Representatives and the 55th and current Governor of Louisiana. He is a member of the Republican Party. On October 20, 2007, Jindal was elected governor of Louisiana, winning a four-way race with 54.2% of the vote. At age 36, Jindal became the youngest current governor in the United States. He is the first elected non-white Governor of Louisiana and the first American governor of Indian-American descent. In 2008, Governor Jindal was ranked one of the nation’s most popular governors with an approval rating of 77%. Before Jindal’s election as governor, he was a member of Congress for Louisiana’s 1st congressional district, elected in 2004. Jindal was re-elected to the House in the 2006 election with 88 percent of the vote. He is the second Indian-American elected to Congress. Piyush Jindal was born in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, to Amar and Raj Jindal, who came to the United States as immigrants from India. Jindal attended Baton Rouge Magnet High School, graduating in 1988. “He always had his eye on, first of all, where he wanted to go, and second, how he was going to get there,” said a former teacher. He competed in tennis tournaments, started a computer newsletter, a retail candy business, and a mail-order software company. He spent his free time working at the concession stands during LSU football games. Jindal was one of 50 students nationwide admitted to the elite PLME program at Brown University, guaranteeing him a place in medical school. His interest was in public policy. Moved by a sense of indebtedness to his father, who overcame abject poverty in his native India and wanted his eldest son to become a doctor, Jindal completed a second major in bio… More: |

Cosmetic Surgery $23.95 Cosmetic surgery has become the subject of intense media and public interest in the last few years. It is unique amongst the surgical specialties in that prospective patients are directly targeted by advertising, and often, through the use of aggressive sales and marketing techniques.

This advice should include a realistic assessment of the benefits and complications of any treatment.This book provides a clear and informative guide to cosmetic surgery and an overview of the range of procedures now available. The book also features an explanation of what makes a well-trained cosmetic surgeon and how to choose one. Individual chapters are devoted to specific procedures including facelifting, breast surgery, eyelid and chin lifts, liposuction, lasers/peels, botox and fillers and abdominoplasty. |

Critical Condition $4.9 Exposing the most controversial, little-known practices of America’s most flawed system, Time magazine’s Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative team pulls back the curtain on the health care industry to explain exactly how things grew so out of control. Dirty examination and operating rooms in doctor’s offices and hospitals . . . Health care executives pulling in millions in bonuses for denying treatment to the sick . . . More than 100 million people with inadequate or no medical coverage . . . This may sound like the predicament of a third-world nation, but this is America’s health care reality today. The U.S. spends more on health care than any other nation, yet our benefits are shrinking and life expectancy is shorter here than in countries that spend significantly less per capita. Meanwhile, HMOs, pharmaceutical companies, and hospital chains reap tremendous profits, while politicians–beholden to insurers and drug companies–enact legislation for the benefit of the few rather than the many, while the entire system is on the verge of collapse. In CRITICAL CONDITION, award-winning investigative journalists Donald L. Barlett and James B. Steele expose the horror of what health care in America has become. They profile patients and doctors trapped by the system and offer startling personal stories that illuminate what’s gone wrong. Doctors tell of being second-guessed and undermined by health care insurers; nurses recount chilling tales of hospital meltdowns; patients explain how they’ve been victimized by a system that is meant to care for them. Drug companies profit by selling pills in the same manner that Madison Avenue sells soap, while Wall Street rakes in billions bybuilding up and then tearing down health care businesses. And politicians pass legislation perpetuating the injustices and out-right fraud the system encourages.

Delivering Doctor Amelia $7.18 Voices are a soul’s signature, says psychologist Dan Shapiro, who in his daily practice hears plenty of them. For all his expertise, he admits he’s still terrified that someone will keep something from me, and when they tell me the truth, I’ll be useless. Treating other physicians has become one of Shapiro’s specialties. When the obstetrician Amelia Sorvino seeks his help–distraught that her own medical error could have injured a patient’s baby– Shapiro finds his talents as counselor and healer pushed to their limits. Session by session, he works to discover the sources of Amelia’s anguish–for his own sake as much as hers: he’s familiar with the burden of a doctor’s guilt, and he has seen how loss and trauma, if unchecked, can echo from generation to generation in a family. In this probing, intensely personal memoir, the words Physician, heal thyself assume a fresh and moving urgency. |

Dialysing for Life: The Development of the Artificial Kidney $89.95 Seeing a patient die under his hands because there is no adequate treatment causes an emotion and a frustration in a doctor, which sometimes stimulates him to try to develop a new type of treatment. Seeing so many wounded young soldiers die due to renal failure in World War I incited the German doctor Georg Haas to try to develop an artificial kidney. He had to give up in despair in 1928. Ten years later doctor Willem Kolff saw a young man die in his ward in the University Hospital of Groningen due to renal failure. By that time two essential factors for an artificial kidney had become available: a drug to keep the blood from clotting outside of the body and an efficient dialysing membrane through which waste substances can pass from the blood into the dialysing fluid. Kolff succeeded in creating the rotating artificial kidney which he started using in the town hospital of Kampen in 1943. The rotation of this artificial kidney started a revolution that made it possible for thousands of kidney patients all over the world to keep on living – and sometimes to forget their disease for the time being. In addition it gave rise to the development of other artificial organs such as the heart-lung machine, the artificial heart and the artificial eye. Doctor Jacob van Noordwijk, the author of this book, was Kolff’s first assistant in the treatment of the first 15 patients. How Kolff succeeded in spite of all the limitations imposed by the German occupation of the Netherlands and in spite of the absence of antibiotics and other medical tools which are common nowadays makes a story which may sound incredible. Yet it did happen and visitors to the town of Kampen can still see the hospital building where it all took place. |
