Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Backbreaking work, threadbare clothes, and black coal dust choking the air -- this is what a miner's daughter knows. Willa Lowell fears that this dust marks her to be nothing else, that she will never win against the constant struggle to survive. Even the fierce flame of her family's love -- her one bright spot against the darkness -- has begun to dim. Willa yearns for a better life -- enough food to eat, clothes that fit, and a home free of black grit. She also yearns for a special love, the love of a boy who makes her laugh and shares the poetry she carries in her heart. When a much brighter future is suddenly promised to her family, Willa knows it is a miracle . . . until she discovers that every promise has a price. But she also discovers that the real change has burned inside her all along -- if only she is strong enough to mine it. Writing in a style that is as breathtaking and lyrical as it is powerful, Gretchen Moran Laskas draws from her family's past to bring to life the story of a girl struggling against seemingly insurmountable odds. The Miner's Daughterwill touch readers' hearts and stay with them long after they've read the last word.
Download or read book The Doctor Wears Three Faces written by Mary Bard and published by Pickle Partners Publishing. This book was released on 2016-10-27 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a family, the Bards were always special. In the really bad times of the Great American Depression of the late ‘twenties and early ‘thirties and in the not-quite-so-bad-times of the New Deal which followed, they hung together closely like a bunch of bananas: unfailingly bright, optimistic and funny, totally supportive of each other and endlessly hospitable to others of all ages, races and creeds less fortunate than themselves. The rock of the family was Sydney, the widowed mother. But undoubtedly the mover, the fixer and Unequalled Organiser-of-Others had to be Mary, the fizzing firecracker. And then she married a doctor. She became a Doctor’s Wife without catching one glimpse of the Job Description. Even if she had, she would have married Jim anyway. She had always welcomed a challenge. Which was just as well, for otherwise we would have been robbed of this very enjoyable book in which a ‘mover’ and a ‘do-er’ of a Doctor’s Wife gets to grips with possibly one of the most conservative professions on Earth. It could have been a recipe for disaster. Instead it produced this book—a sure-fire prescription for high entertainment.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Doctor Dolittle’s Post Office (1920) is a children’s fantasy novel by Hugh Lofting. The novel is the third in a series of fifteen books featuring Doctor Dolittle, a character created by Lofting in letters written to his wife and children at home while he served in the Great War. Beloved by generations of adults and children for their imaginative nature and moral worldview, Lofting’s books have inspired numerous adaptations for theater, film, and television. Doctor John Dolittle is an ordinary physician with an extraordinary gift. Renowned for his ability to communicate with animals, Dolittle has made a name for himself as a traveling veterinarian with a generous heart and a courageous spirit. On the West Coast of Africa, he finds himself enlisted to help rescue the captives on an illegal slave ship, earning him the respect of the people of Fantippo. There, he befriends King Koko, who encourages him to open the small kingdom’s first postal service, allowing them to communicate with distant continents using thousands of migratory birds. Told in episodic fashion, and with each episode containing wilder and more wonderful adventures than the next, Lofting’s novel features a lost island filled with prehistoric beasts, the invention of an alphabet for animals, and a tortoise who has been alive since before the Great Flood. Doctor Dolittle’s Post Office is a delightful work of fantasy for children and adults alike. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Hugh Lofting’s Doctor Dolittle’s Post Office is a classic of English children’s fiction reimagined for modern readers.

This book was released on 2020-10-21 with total page 3234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The English-born American author Hugh Lofting was the creator of the beloved children's character of Doctor Dolittle, the eccentric, yet genial physician that can talk to the animals. The genesis of the series appeared in illustrated letters sent by Lofting to his children, while he was undergoing the horrors of the trenches in World War I, when news was “too horrible” to send. The Dolittle books are celebrated for their charming wit and the humorous treatment of the doctor’s bachelor household in Puddleby-on-the-Marsh. However, Lofting’s works provide a recurring message of pacifism and censure of warmongering, which is most evident in Lofting’s anti-war poem ‘Victory for the Slain’. For the first time in publishing history, this edition presents Lofting’s complete works, with numerous illustrations, rare texts and concise introductions.

Download or read book Pearls from the Practice of Life written by John Chuck and published by . This book was released on 2021-06-08 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recognition of a human condition that spans the entire spectrum from wonderful to miserable, and with a strong preference for the wonderful, Dr. John Chuck draws on over 30 years of experience as a family physician, wellness leader, and teacher to create this guide to help you struggle less, thrive more, and live your best life, one filled with joy and meaning. His "pearls" of insight and wisdom will help you to better understand our shared predicament as human beings, namely our suffering and mortality, and leverage evidence-based habits to meet your hierarchy of needs for survival, safety, love and belonging, esteem, and self-actualization in the one very short life you have been given. Just as mollusks make pearls in response to irritants, you can use your struggles to create a new and improved version of yourself. In the pages of Pearls, you will find the makings of that metamorphosis. The book features 69 chapters divided into six parts. Read start to finish, it delivers a comprehensive message of hope and healing that begins with birth and ends with death. At the same time, each chapter is written so that it can stand alone as an inspirational message to be revisited or shared with others in need of perspective and encouragement. In Part I, "First Things First," he reviews the roles that nature and nurture play in setting our floors and ceilings, proposes a new twist on the age-old pursuit of happiness and achievement, shares a method for strategic winning, highlights the important role of connection to others, self, and a higher power, and offers a solution to the decision paralysis and self-consciousness that often hinder our progress. Part II, "The Work World," outlines the economic fundamentals of life and the attitudes and actions that maximize one's opportunities for paid employment and success in the workplace. Part III, "Lofty Goals," describes a life that rises above self, the pedestrian and mundane, to pursue aspirational team-based initiatives that lift up and transform entire communities and societies. In Part IV, "Getting Things Done," he writes about the many drivers of consistent productivity, including harnessing realms of energy, identifying and successfully navigating the chapters of life, exercising servant leadership, and engaging the emotions and intellect that drive human decisions and practices. Part V, "Struggles," focuses on the common challenges that impede our ability to claim joy and meaning and the adaptive behaviors that help us to turn our challenges into opportunities for growth. The book concludes with Part VI, "Doctor Stuff," Dr. Chuck's summary of the inescapable aging processes and degenerative changes that define our morbidity and mortality, and his endorsement of the perspectives, intentions, and habits that help us mitigate the sting of death and the finality of the grave.
Download or read book On Rounds 1000 Internal Medicine Pearls written by Lewis Landsberg and published by Lippincott Williams & Wilkins. This book was released on 2015-07-15 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Clinical judgment is a critical aspect – perhaps the most critical aspect – of efficient, accurate, and cost-effective patient care. Focusing on essential clinical skills, On Rounds: 1000 Internal Medicine Pearls helps clinicians in training and in practice to identify the critical findings that will simplify complex clinical problems and lead to an accurate diagnosis. One thousand easy-to-remember clinical aphorisms, or “pearls,” help you distinguish the important findings from the incidental, pointing out the distinctive features amidst the mass of data that is accumulated in the evaluation of a sick patient, and leading to the development of mature clinical judgment. Go “on rounds” with one of the most respected educators in internal medicine and learn from his nearly 50 years of clinical experience. Focus on the areas that are often a source of confusion for students, trainees, and even seasoned practitioners. Learn each pearl in a relevant clinical context, with tables, clinical images, and physiology information, where appropriate. Recognize “black pearls:” statements that, although widely believed, are demonstrably false. Improve your clinical judgment skills whether you’re a resident or an experienced clinician. Carry these pocket-sized pearls with you for quick reference.

Download or read book Uncaring written by Robert Pearl and published by PublicAffairs. This book was released on 2021-05-18 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Doctors are taught how to cure people. But they don’t always know how to care for them. Hardly anyone is happy with American healthcare these days. Patients are getting sicker and going bankrupt from medical bills. Doctors are burning out and making dangerous mistakes. Both parties blame our nation’s outdated and dysfunctional healthcare system. But that’s only part of the problem. In this important and timely book, Dr. Robert Pearl shines a light on the unseen and often toxic culture of medicine. Today’s physicians have a surprising disdain for technology, an unhealthy obsession with status, and an increasingly complicated relationship with their patients. All of this can be traced back to their earliest experiences in medical school, where doctors inherit a set of norms, beliefs, and expectations that shape almost every decision they make, with profound consequences for the rest of us. Uncaring draws an original and revealing portrait of what it’s actually like to be a doctor. It illuminates the complex and intimidating world of medicine for readers, and in the end offers a clear plan to save American healthcare.
