Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Giffin excels at creating complex characters and stories that ask us to explore what we really want from our lives."--Atlanta Journal-Constitution Tessa Russo is the mother of two young children and the wife of a renowned pediatric surgeon. Despite her own mother's warnings, Tessa has recently given up her career to focus on her family and the pursuit of domestic happiness. From the outside, she seems destined to live a charmed life. Valerie Anderson is an attorney and single mother to six-year-old Charlie--a boy who has never known his father. After too many disappointments, she has given up on romance--and even to some degree, friendships--believing that it is always safer not to expect too much. Although both women live in the same Boston suburb, the two have relatively little in common aside from a fierce love for their children. But one night, a tragic accident causes their lives to converge in ways no one could have imagined. In alternating, pitch-perfect points of view, Emily Giffin's Heart of the Matter creates a moving, luminous story of good people caught in untenable circumstances. Each being tested in ways they never thought possible. Each questioning everything they once believed. And each ultimately discovering what truly matters most.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Thrilling... The “dizzying” story of heart surgery is every bit as important as that of the nuclear, computer or rocket ages. And now it has been given the history it deserves' James McConnachie, Sunday Times For thousands of years the human heart remained the deepest of mysteries; both home to the soul and an organ too complex to touch, let alone operate on. Then, in the late nineteenth century, medics began going where no one had dared go before. In eleven landmark operations, Thomas Morris tells us stories of triumph, reckless bravery, swaggering arrogance, jealousy and rivalry, and incredible ingenuity, from the trail-blazing ‘blue baby’ procedure to the first human heart transplant. The Matter of the Heart gives us a view over the surgeon’s shoulder, showing us the heart’s inner workings and failings. It describes both a human story and a history of risk-taking that has ultimately saved millions of lives.

Medical research during the last 15 years has successfully defined many treatment strategies that work, and many that don't.

The Heart of the Matter will highlight for you the right questions to ask after your heart attack, or if you're afflicted by hypertension, high cholesterol, or heart failure. Before you need a pacemaker, defibrillator, heart surgery, or angioplasty, the right questions need to be asked, and you'll find out why they're important. Take advantage of all of the recent research and years of clinical experience by the authors in managing heart disease.

Download or read book The Heart of the Matter written by Hilary Palmer and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-06-18 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Heart of the Matter invites therapists from all disciplines to consider the use of music and art in their work with families. It introduces systemic music and art ideas, giving clinical examples from practice, and a rationale for using each technique. Conversations with therapists who have explored and incorporated the techniques into their work are shared, and include both personal and professional responses to incorporating new methods in practice. Through a back drop of exploration into what creativity is, the history of the arts in therapy, and consideration of what happens when we use words, the case for music and art to be part of practice with families is presented. This book is more than a handbook of techniques; it explores who we are as therapists, our challenges and our resourcefulness, as we operate in multiple systems to bring about positive change.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABOUT THE BOOK Blame high-definition televisions or airbrushing, but for some reason, people expect perfection in every aspect of their lives, especially their relationships. Having the right kids, the right home, and getting into all the right schools have become a preoccupation for wives and husbands. In Heart of the Matter, everyone perceives the central relationship to be perfect, so much so that the people in that relationship are afraid to have people see them as having flaws. The result is that the husband and wife drive each other away. What this book can teach you is that all relationships have underlying secrets and the pressure to be perfect is what can keep you from being close. Even in the most successful of relationships, there are likely to be some underlying secrets. Also, just because you are in a committed relationship doesnt mean your significant other will stop making mistakes. Instead, people learn to accept their situations and limitations, but that doesnt mean theyre settling. A lot of people find themselves in a relationship situation they never imagined would happen Heart of the Matter definitely illustrates that with its dramatic turn of events that bring together people who would have never intersected otherwise. This book can teach you that if you have enough love and give up the idea that everything in your relationship is going to work out perfectly, you may find something else. And it may be something better.

EXCERPT FROM THE BOOK Emily Giffin never took a single writing workshop or tried to get her masters in writing. Unless you count her time as editor-in-chief of her high school newspaper, she didnt really pursue writing as a profession. Though she was born in Baltimore, Maryland, she went to high school in a Chicago suburb. Giffin obtained her undergraduate degree from Wake Forest University, then graduated with her law degree from the University of Virginia. After years as a litigator in New York City, she says she decided she actually hated her job and what she really wanted to do was write. Moving to London to write full-time probably wouldnt work for most people, but Giffin has numerous New York Times bestselling books to show it worked out pretty well for her. After her first young adult novel was rejected, she tried again with a novel that would become Something Borrowed. The rest is successful writer history. Buy a copy to keep reading!

Download or read book The Heart of the Matter written by Bob Edwards and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2002-07-24 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Psychiatrist and Holocaust survivor Viktor Frankl said, "Man's search for meaning is the primary motivation in his life." Yet some contemporary voices claim that increased knowledge of the material world must diminish our sense of meaning. Physicist Steven Weinberg said, "The more the universe seems comprehensible, the more it also seems pointless." Many people hold the material and meaningful perspectives separate in their minds, in a state of uneasy truce. The Heart of the Matter: A Case for Meaning in a Material World tells us that this split vision is not necessary, and shows us how the two views can be harmonized to give depth to our picture of the world. It looks at current scientific observations from astronomy, biology and physics, as well as insights from mathematics, philosophy, psychology and religion. We are left with a sense of wonder at both the mechanics and the values of the world, the "how" and the "why" of events. This book will appeal to everyone fascinated by how our world works, and especially to those who wonder how such marvelous mechanisms can leave room for the values and purpose that give meaning to our lives, and to our world.
