Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Death Plays Solitaire, first published in 1939, opens with newspaper reporter Rufus Reed’s assignment to cover the electrocution of Dan Hillyard, a bank robber and murderer of a policeman. It closes with Reed’s return to the Death House on a similar assignment. Between these events is a circuitous trail beset with excitement and adventure, involving among others—Jackson Toliver, a noted criminal lawyer who plays his first and last game of solitaire with a mysterious deck of cards; Edna Toliver, his neglected and neurotic wife; Franklin Toliver and William Smedley, junior members of the law firm; Lucy Curtis, an attractive blonde secretary, adept in the art of “two-timing”; Ruby, the widow and former gun moll of the late Dan Hillyard; Dick Lucas, Hillyard’s former partner in crime and a fugitive from justice. Death Plays Solitaire provides adventures and problems perfectly adapted to Rufus Reed’s impetuous nature and Asaph’s Clume’s analytical mind. The story moves along at a breath-taking pace, with never a letdown between first page and last, but its plausibility, lifelike characters, and delightful humor make it something more than a mere thriller.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Family physician Raymond Downing offers a bold critique of western medicine and sees medical care as one of the fallen “principalities and powers” in need of redemption. But Downing’s hope lies beyond biomedicine—in biblical healing, especially the healing miracles of Jesus. In conversation with the Bible, Ivan Illich, William Strongfellow, Susan Sontag, and others, Downing revisits how Westerners approach medicine. He sees suffering and healing as essentially spiritual experiences at the roots of death and life.

Download or read book Polio Boulevard written by Karen Chase and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2014-07-24 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Finalist for the 2015 Eric Hoffer Award presented by Hopewell Publications In 1954, Karen Chase was a ten-year-old girl playing Monopoly in the polio ward when the radio blared out the news that Dr. Jonas Salk had developed the polio vaccine. The discovery came too late for her, and Polio Boulevard is Chase's unique chronicle of her childhood while fighting polio. From her lively sickbed she experiences puppy love, applies to the Barbizon School of Modeling, and dreams of Franklin Delano Roosevelt, a polio patient who became President of the United States. Chase, now an accomplished poet who survived her illness, tells a story that flows backward and forward in time from childhood to adulthood. Woven throughout are the themes of how private and public history get braided together, how imagination is shaped when your body can't move but your mind can, and how sexuality blooms in a young girl laid up in bed. Chase's imagination soars in this narrative of illness and recovery, a remarkable blend of provocative reflection, humor, and pluck.
