Atul Gawande

Medicine and What Matters in the End

Named a Best Book of the Year by The Washington Post Apple iBooks The New York Times Book Review NPR Amazon Chicago Tribune Medicine has triumphed in modern times, transforming the dangers of childbirth, injury, and disease from harrowing to manageable. But when it comes to the inescapable realities of aging and death, what medicine can do often runs counter to what it should. Through eye-opening research and gripping stories of his own patients and family, Gawande reveals the suffering this dynamic has produced. Nursing homes, devoted above all to safety, battle with residents over the food they are allowed to eat and the choices they are allowed to make. Doctors, uncomfortable discussing patients' anxieties about death, fall back on false hopes and treatments that are actually shortening lives instead of improving them. In his bestselling books, Atul Gawande, a practicing surgeon, has fearlessly revealed the struggles of his profession. Now he examines its ultimate limitations and failures-in his own practices as well as others'-as life draws to a close. Riveting, honest, and humane, Being Mortal shows how the ultimate goal is not a good death but a good life-all the way to the very end.

Here, there are some 300 stories rolled into one: It is a biography in parts and a history lesson of sorts, of the years between and through the two World Wars. The tales tell of toil, tragedy and triumph; their message is of hope, faith and service to America. For older readers, it is a nostalgic look back to the early twentieth century as perceived by an immigrant boy growing up in New York City. For younger readers, it should prove an inspiring and educational experience. The author says, "to those who know what gonnif means, I know you'll enjoy this book. To those who don't know what it means, it is partly for you that I wrote it -- and you'll probably enjoy it all the more. It amazes me that so little is known of the times and events I write about and, especially, how little is known of the Jewish people outside of New York or Hollywood. I hope this book will help." This history of sort is not intended as a doctoral or academic literary treatise, but told in easy to read, everyday language (with a Bronx accent) as the lives of the characters are woven into the history of the times: It portrays members of a certain family, caught up in the maelstrom of the great depression, and how they fought and survived. Its recipe is a mix of "Ragtime", "A Tree Grows In Brooklyn" and perhaps "Angela's Ashes" -- spiced with a tender love story . . . and though it has a Jewish flavor, its appeal is universal. An early reviewer has critiqued it as ". . . charming and touching -- romantic and flowery . . . shows a good deal of warmth, understanding and the human touch . . . there is strong character development and quirky charm shown here." In addition to the excerpts that appear here, the first 7 pages or 1 1/2 chapters appears on the author´s web page at emnolbay (and contains photographs from the book). . . . Testimonials/endorsements: "AMERICA GONNIF is an insightful and penetrating look at one Jewish family's immigration to America. You'll feel, through real life stories, how members of this family grew, with enthusiasm, to become the best americans they could be -- while still keeping their allegiance to their bloodline and heritage." -- Morris (Mason) Heldt , screen writer. Author of HOLLYWOOD SYRUP (1997) and DEADLY AMBITION (1999) "I truly enjoyed reading the first draft of America Gonnif. . . A great story -- and an astonishing first effort from this amazing renaissance man. I'm looking forward to the sequel." John Anthony Miller, artist, book illustrator owner of PHANTOM BOOKS, Ventura, CA "Your wonderful book has arrived . . . we are honored to make it available to our members. . . . My parents were raised in New York during the Depression and I love to hear their true stories. I only wish they found time to make them last forever, as you have." Liz Weintraub, Program Director The Dora Teitelboim Center for Yiddish Culture.

A Novel 

Evil exists. Evil walks the streets. And evil has spawned a diabolical new disciple in this white-knuckle thriller from New York Times bestselling author Tess Gerritsen.

PECCAVI

The Latin word is scrawled in blood at the scene of a young woman's brutal murder: I HAVE SINNED. It's a chilling Christmas greeting for Boston medical examiner Maura Isles and Detective Jane Rizzoli, who swiftly link the victim to controversial celebrity psychiatrist Joyce O'Donnell-Jane's professional nemesis and member of a sinister cabal called the Mephisto Club.

On top of Beacon Hill, the club's acolytes devote themselves to the analysis of evil: Can it be explained by science? Does it have a physical presence? Do demons walk the earth? Drawing on a wealth of dark historical data and mysterious religious symbolism, the Mephisto scholars aim to prove a startling theory: that Satan himself exists among us.

With the grisly appearance of a corpse on their doorstep, it's clear that someone-or something-is indeed prowling the city. The members of the club begin to fear the very subject of their study. Could this maniacal killer be one of their own-or have they inadvertently summoned an evil entity from the darkness?

Delving deep into the most baffling and unusual case of their careers, Maura and Jane embark on a terrifying journey to the very heart of evil, where they encounter a malevolent foe more dangerous than any they have ever faced . . . one whose work is only just beginning.

A Novel

For sixty years, Jewish refugees and their descendants have prospered in the Federal District of Sitka, a "temporary" safe haven created in the wake of revelations of the Holocaust and the shocking 1948 collapse of the fledgling state of Israel. Proud, grateful, and longing to be American, the Jews of the Sitka District have created their own little world in the Alaskan panhandle, a vibrant, gritty, soulful, and complex frontier city that moves to the music of Yiddish. For sixty years they have been left alone, neglected and half-forgotten in a backwater of history. Now the District is set to revert to Alaskan control, and their dream is coming to an end: once again the tides of history threaten to sweep them up and carry them off into the unknown. But homicide detective Meyer Landsman of the District Police has enough problems without worrying about the upcoming Reversion. His life is a shambles, his marriage a wreck, his career a disaster. He and his half-Tlingit partner, Berko Shemets, can't catch a break in any of their outstanding cases. Landsman's new supervisor is the love of his life—and also his worst nightmare. And in the cheap hotel where he has washed up, someone has just committed a murder—right under Landsman's nose. Out of habit, obligation, and a mysterious sense that it somehow offers him a shot at redeeming himself, Landsman begins to investigate the killing of his neighbor, a former chess prodigy. But when word comes down from on high that the case is to be dropped immediately, Landsman soon finds himself contending with all the powerful forces of faith, obsession, hopefulness, evil, and salvation that are his heritage—and with the unfinished business of his marriage to Bina Gelbfish, the one person who understands his darkest fears. At once a gripping whodunit, a love story, an homage to 1940s noir, and an exploration of the mysteries of exile and redemption, The Yiddish Policemen's Union is a novel only Michael Chabon could have written.
