Walking with the Missus is a book about a couple as they walk down the journey of life, with many side trips, some sad and some delightfully funny. The Missus is featured in much of the book, but not always as she would like to be portrayed. However, things do seem to balance out with not only the Missus but also with the sharing of happy and sad experiences. The experiences the reader shares in this book go along well with the usual pulling for the underdog, because even with all of the often negative things that are described in this book the underdog is triumphant in the end. It is definitely a feel good book.
Bruce Johnson, the author, is a heart attack survivor and he wants to get the word out. While much has been written about the medical side of heart attacks, little has been written about the emotional and human side of heart attacks and cardiovascular disease. It really doesn't matter what sparks the sudden Coronary Thrombosis (MI), the medical term for a heart attack. This disease is an equal opportunity killer. Men, women, young, old, rich, poor, famous and people who aren't known outside of their families and workplaces Dead is dead and by most accounts the one million people who will have heart attacks this year might have been spared had they made a few lifestyle changes. That's what the country's cardiologists are begging for today. The author interviewed dozens of candidates but he wanted a diverse group of heart attack survivors who represented a cross section of America. He found them and in some cases, they heard about his project and found him. These are their stories of regaining life after a heart attack
Life in Mobile Acres is not what it might first appear from behind the uniform rows of trailers with their neatly organized grounds and lovely southern trees. The journey into Mobile Acres begins with the Pierce family relocating to the east coast and into the mobile home village. Within the pages, we will meet the residents of fifteen of the forty-eight lots, and the manager, Tony Attwood. Within each resident's history, we will learn how each of these individuals come to be in Mobile Acres, a gentle mobile home park for single wide trailers, located just on the edge of the small southeastern coastal town of Shallotte, NC. We meet a variety of characters, building from one to another, relating in some way; tagging to another. Unknown to all, a tragedy is developing in their midst, in the form of a pedophile. This tragedy will ultimately bring the residents of this small village of mobile homes closer to one another. Life in Mobile Acres is like life in any given community, people live their lives where they are, some staying a short while, some settling permanently, some moving on.

Religio Medici, the timeless book of personal contemplations by renowned polymath Sir Thomas Browne, is presented here complete. Written by Browne during the 1640s as a means of profiling his psyche in a spiritual testament to the divine, Religio Medici - in English, Religion of a Doctor - was received with acclaim in England and continental Europe. The text is structured around three key virtues: the first part is occupied with the attributes of Faith and Hope; while the second part is concerned with Charity. Throughout, Browne maintains a recognisable style and tone, writing with frankness, clarity and conviction. For its profundity and explanatory wisdom, scholars of the 17th century lavished Religio Medici with praise, and Browne became famous. The book enjoyed a revival in the 19th century, as the characterful idiosyncrasies of Browne found appreciation among artists and intellectuals of that era. Today, the text remains a favourite for its accessible, thought-provoking merits.

More than 31 million people in the United States alone suffer from hearing loss - that is one in every 10 people in the current population. Of those, only five to 10 percent can be treated medically, leaving the largest number in need of other solutions. It is for those people that veteran audiologist Susan Dalebout wrote this comprehensive guide. The book explains, with a simple overview of hearing anatomy and physiology, how we hear, and details hearing evaluation tests, the interpretation of those tests, and the conditions that most commonly cause hearing loss in adults. All things related to adult hearing loss are explained, as is a full menu of hearing rehabilitation services, devices, and technology. This text includes discussion of the importance of hearing in our lives, the psychological, social and emotional effects of untreated hearing loss, and the effects on family members and friends. Also included is a chapter on prevention, describing the dangers of exposure to hazardous noise and certain drugs, and how to protect against damage to hearing. Unique for its breadth and depth, this text also offers detail on hearing aids, care and maintenance as well as factors to consider when purchasing an aid, cochlear implants, hearing-assistance technology, and future trends in hearing restoration.
WARNING: HOME CHEF AT WORK Fine dining at home with family and friends is one of life's true pleasures, yet the kitchen can be a dangerous place. Fire, electricity, heat, scalding hot water, smoke, sharp knives and culinary gizmos and gadgets all present dangers that would not go unnoticed in any environment other than the kitchen. Combined with wine and alcohol, it's no wonder that accidental kitchen fires are the #1 source of home fires and fire injuries, with cuts, burns, bruises and choking incidents the leading reasons for hospital emergency room visits. The Home Chef's Emergency Medical Guide is a useful kitchen companion for every home chef, whether he or she is toiling over a sizzling saute pan, wielding a razor-sharp Japanese chopping knife or blowtorching a creme brulee. While not a substitute for professional medical treatment, this is a first-line guide to prevention and emergency care amid the mayhem that often occurs preparing a fine meal at home. Jack Sholl is a science and medical writer. Illustrations: Jamie Cooper Editorial direction: Veronica Rodriguez
