"MENDEL'S GARDEN: SELECTED MEDICAL TOPICS" contains a collection of
short non-fiction texts covering a wide variety of medical issues.
Dr. Holcombe intends each short text for the lay audience, and
there are consequently no rigorous references as would be found in
scientific publications. Instead, the topics are intended to
introduce the average reader to a number of current issues that
affect the public, from cancer to Cyclospora and from contingency
fees to health care costs. While understanding that medical
publication are out of date before they are published, there should
still be something of interest for just about everyone. Feel free
to hop from subject to subject and share them with friends and
colleagues. Medicine should be accessible to everyone in all of its
good, bad and ugly aspects. Cover design: "Cranial Inspiration:
Portrait of Dr. David Holcombe," by Terry Strickland.
"OLD SOUTH, NEW SOUTH, NO SOUTH" contains an exciting collection of
short plays by the relatively unknown playwright, Dr. David
Holcombe. Issues as diverse as human cloning, imperial watches,
date rape and hoarding are addressed with the same magical
combination of professional knowledge and artistic sensibility.
This is must read for those who think they know the South and
Southern writers. The diversity of length and subject matter make
it a perfect source for those directors looking for something new
and unexpected. Although Dr. Chekhov might role over in his grave,
medicine and drama still offer an irresistible combination for the
aspiring actor, director or even medical student with a love of
theater.
Cappucino at Podgorica is a second collection of short stories by
Dr. David Holcombe. It moves from the sunny hills of California, to
the rugged mountains of Montenegro, with many intriguing places in
between. Various aspects of the human heart are explored with a
curiosity and precision that delights and amuses. There is even
some lagniappe (a little extra), four stories in translation for
the international audience (Bulgarian, Czech, French and Italian).
Come join the fun and explore the world through the eyes of the a
humanistic doctor.
