Book excerpt: PUBLISHERS WEEKLY BESTSELLER 2022 NATIONAL INDIE EXCELLENCE AWARDS FINALIST — MEMOIR "Shot through with hope, purpose and an unflinching love, it's a story that must be read." —Newsweek "Essential, poignant, and insightful reading." —Kirkus Reviews, starred review Award-winning columnist and author David Magee addresses his poignant story to all those who will benefit from better understanding substance misuse so that his hard-earned wisdom can save others from the fate of his late son, William. The last time David Magee saw his son alive, William told him to write their family’s story in the hopes of helping others. Days later, David found William dead from an accidental drug overdose. Now, in a memoir suggestive of Augusten Burroughs meets Glennon Doyle, award-winning columnist and author David Magee answers his son's wish with a compelling, heartbreaking, and impossible to put down book that speaks to every individual and family. With honesty and heart, Magee shares his family’s intergenerational struggle with substance abuse and mental health issues, as well as his own reckoning with family secrets—confronting the dark truth about the adoptive parents who raised him and a decades-long search for identity. He wrestles with personal substance misuse that began at a young age and, as a father, he sees destructive patterns repeat and develop within his own children. While striving to find a truly authentic voice as a writer despite authoring nearly a dozen previous books, Magee ultimately understands that William had been right and their own family’s history is the story he needs to tell. A poignant and uplifting message of hope translates unimaginable tragedy into an inspirational commitment to saving others, as David founded the William Magee Institute for Student Wellbeing at the University of Mississippi. His mission to share solutions to self-medication and addiction, particularly as it touches America’s high school and college students, emphasizes that William’s story is about much more than a tragic addiction—it’s an American story of a family broken by loss and remade with love. Dear William inspires readers to find purpose, build resilience, and break the cycles that damage too many individuals and the people who love them. It’s a life-changing book revealing how voids can be filled, and peace—even profound, lasting happiness—is possible.

Download or read book Two Hundred Years of Pharmacy in Mississippi written by Leslie Caine Campbell and published by . This book was released on 2010-07-12 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two Hundred Years of Pharmacy in Mississippi by Leslie Caine Campbell Early in the nineteenth century the Choctaw alikchi chito, or "big doctor," gathered medicinal herbs for Mississippi practitioner Gideon Lincecum and told him of their traditional usage. Lincecum preserved the plants, accompanied by his carefully made notations. More than a hundred years later Lincecum's compilation was rediscovered by historians and brought to the attention of drug researchers at the University of Mississippi. As a result, some of these plants are being cultivated in the School of Pharmacy's drug gardens. Bridging two cultures and two centuries, university researchers are using advanced spectroscopy and computer technology as they follow the clues of Indian lore in developing compounds for use in modern medicine. This historical link to the present from Mississippi's past is one of the dramatic developments traced in this book. Noted briefly are connections between pharmacy and famous Mississippians, including William Faulkner, Mike Conner, and Theodore G. Bilbo, alongside accounts of the work of the great men of Mississippi pharmacy: Matthew Franklin Ash, Henry Minor Faser, and Charles W. Hartman. This is the story of pharmacy at the grass roots and near the fork of the creek, with glimpses of folk medicine and superstitious practice, the Mississippi pharmacist in the Civil War, and pharmacy practiced in the drugstores of small towns like Bude and Gloster, as well as in Mississippi's principal cities. It traces the evolving professionalism of pharmacy in twentieth century Mississippi and the development of the University of Mississippi School of Pharmacy into one of the nation's leading educational and research centers for the pharmacy profession. The bibliography, containing over 300 entries, provides for the first time an extensive survey of sources in the history of medicine and pharmacy in Mississippi. It will be valued by scholars in the field and can serve to inspire further specialized research as well as a greater coverage of the health professions in general histories of Mississippi than has heretofore been the case. Two Hundred Years of Pharmacy in Mississippi is published in commemoration of the Centennial of the Mississippi State Pharmaceutical Association, 1871-1971, and in celebration of the Bicentennial of the United States of America, 1776-1976. It covers the period from 1771 to 1971, reaching back a century before the association's founding and approximately coinciding with the two hundred year history of the United States. In the absence of analytical and cohesive narrative pharmaceutical histories of the other states, it provides for the nation a penetrating look at the day-by-day practice of pharmacy in the towns and cities of the United States. While not a comparative history, it can be read as representative of the evolution of the pharmacy profession as it has occurred in many of the fifty states. Leslie Caine Campbell is Professor Emeritus of History and Associate Dean Emeritus at Auburn University.
