Better: A Surgeon's Notes on Performance

By: Atul Gawande

The bestselling author of Complications examines, in riveting accounts of medical failure and triumph, how success is achieved in a complex and risk-filled profession. Nowhere is the drive to do better more important than in medicine, where lives may be on the line with every decision. Gawande's gripping stories of diligence, ingenuity, and what it means to do right by people take us to battlefield surgical tents in Iraq, labor and delivery rooms in Boston, a polio outbreak in India, and malpractice courtrooms around the country.

Memoirs of a Nice Irish American Girl's' Life in Occupied Territory

By: Eileen Fleming

Impelled, compelled, and propelled by her faith as a progressive Christian, Eileen Fleming has journeyed four times to the Occupied Palestinian Territories since June 2005. She has met with democratically elected and NONVIOLENT members of Hamas, scores of Palestinian Christians and Muslims, and a few 21st-century prophets. The pages within this brave new work contain some of those interviews and her experiences listening to Christians, Muslims, Jews, secularists, anarchists, Nobel Peace Prize Nominees, and the whistleblower of Israel’s underground WMD Program. This fascinating portrait will open your eyes and heart, and you will look at the Middle East in a new light. “You shall know the truth and the truth will set you free.” —John 8:32 Purchase at: Barnes and Noble / Amazon

UNTAPPED The Scramble For Africa's Oil

By: John Ghazvinian

Oxford historian Ghazvinian, armed with "a suitcase full of notepads and malaria pills, and a sweaty money belt stuffed with $100 bills," toured twelve African oil-producing nations from Sudan to Congo to see how they'd been affected by the oil boom. Talking to warlords, industry executives, bandits, activists, priests, missionaries, oil-rig workers, scientists, and ordinary people whose lives have been transformed—not necessarily for the better—by the riches beneath their feet. The result is a high-octane narrative that reveals the challenges, obstacles, reasons for despair, and reasons for hope emerging from the world’s newest energy hot spot.
