    One Doctor: Close Calls, Cold Cases, and the Mysteries of MedicineOne Doctor: Close Calls, Cold Cases, and the Mysteries of Medicine by Brendan Reilly

    An epic story told by a unique voice in Ameri­can medicine, One Doctor describes life-changing experiences in the career of a distinguished physi­cian. In riveting first-person prose, Dr. Brendan Reilly takes us to the front lines of medicine today.

    Whipsawed by daily crises and frustra­tions, Reilly must deal with several daunting challenges simultaneously: the extraordinary patients under his care on the teeming wards of a renowned teaching hospital; the life-threatening illnesses of both of his ninety-year-old parents; and the tragic memory of a cold case from long ago that haunts him still.

    As Reilly’s patients and their families survive close calls, struggle with heartrending decisions, and confront the limits of medicine’s power to cure, One Doctor lays bare a fragmented, depersonal­ized, business-driven health-care system where real caring is hard to find.

    Every day, Reilly sees patients who fall through the cracks and suffer harm because they lack one doctor who knows them well and relentlessly advocates for their best interests…

    But medicine has changed enormously during Reilly’s career, for both better and worse, and One Doctor is a cautionary tale about those changes.

    Atlas of a Lost WorldAtlas of a Lost World by Craig Childs

    From the author of Apocalyptic Planet, an unsparing, vivid, revelatory travelogue through prehistory that traces the arrival of the First People in North America 20,000 years ago and the artifacts that enable us to imagine their lives and fates.

    Scientists squabble over the locations and dates for human arrival in the New World. The first explorers were few, encampments fleeting. At some point in time, between 20,000 and 40,000 years ago, sea levels were low enough that a vast land bridge was exposed between Asia and North America. But the land bridge was not the only way across.

    This book upends our notions of where these people came from and who they were. The unpeopled continent they reached was inhabited by megafauna – mastodons, sloths, mammoths, saber-toothed cats, lions, bison, and bears. The First People were not docile – Paleolithic spear points are still encrusted with the protein of their prey – but they were wildly outnumbered, and many were prey to the much larger animals. This is a chronicle of the last millennia of the Ice Age, the gradual oscillations and retreat of glaciers, the clues and traces that document the first encounters of early humans, and the animals whose presence governed the humans’ chances for survival.

    The MasterpieceThe Masterpiece by Francine Rivers

    Over 2,000 5-Star Reviews!

    New York Times best-selling author Francine Rivers returns to her romance roots with this unexpected and redemptive love story, a probing tale that reminds us that mercy can shape even the most broken among us into an imperfect yet stunning masterpiece.

    A successful LA artist, Roman Velasco appears to have everything he could possibly want — money, women, fame. Only Grace Moore, his reluctant, newly hired personal assistant, knows how little he truly has.

    The demons of Roman’s past seem to echo through the halls of his empty mansion and out across his breathtaking Topanga Canyon view. But Grace doesn’t know how her boss secretly wrestles with those demons: by tagging buildings as the Bird, a notorious but unidentified graffiti artist – an alter ego that could destroy his career and land him in prison.

    Like Roman, Grace is wrestling with ghosts and secrets of her own. After a disastrous marriage threw her life completely off course, she vowed never to let love steal her dreams again. But as she gets to know the enigmatic man behind the reputation, it’s as if the jagged pieces of both of their pasts slowly begin to fit together… until something so unexpected happens that it changes the course of their relationship — and both their lives — forever.
