Book Description
Willow Taylor lives in a castle with large walls and iron fences. But this is no ordinary castle. It's called Heartstone Psychiatric Hospital and it houses forty other patients. It has nurses with mean faces and techs with permanent frowns. It has a man, as well. A man who is cold and distant. Whose voice drips with authority. And whose piercing gray eyes hide secrets, and maybe linger on her face a second too long. Willow isn't supposed to look deep into those eyes. She isn't supposed to try to read his tightly-leashed emotions. Neither is she supposed to touch herself at night, imagining his powerful voice and that cold but beautiful face. No, Willow Taylor shouldn't be attracted to Simon Blackwood at all. Because she's a patient and he's her doctor. Her psychiatrist. The medicine man.

Book Description
"The title of this book comes from the African adage: "The Black Man's Medicine is the White Man." It implies that black people won't do anything right, unless there is a white man around, or that black people won't be satisfied with anything unless it has been done by a white man. Black Man's Medicine is about economic freedom. It introduces the idea that SEE (self-economic empowerment) is the new BEE. Most importantly, it insists that apartheid was a terrible and unfortunate part of our shared history but should no longer define our present challenges and myriad opportunities for success. In essence this book is about moving from mud and dust, through the boardroom and on to a new Africa, where people work hard and life is decent. Kuzwayo's self-professed goal is help us see our own, familiar truths differently, just in case they have passed their sell-by date, and to question the righteousness of our rituals and to test the accuracy of our adages"--Publisher describtion.

Book Description
The biography begins with Jim's birth and scrappy childhood in Chicago and takes the reader through his formal education to become a veterinarian at the Michigan State College and then earning a Master's in Public Health from Harvard. The reader is then taken through early work experiences, adventures in many countries engaging in and winning battles against deadly animal and human diseases, on through to his retirement from CDC in 1971 as the first U.S. Assistant Surgeon General for Veterinary Affairs. Family and personal experiences are weaved into the story to include real-life adventure, success, tragedy and humor. After leaving CDC, Dr. Steele began a prominent second career as a Professor of Environmental Health at the University of Texas, School of Public Health. There he compiled and edited the world's first comprehensive series of books on diseases shared by animals and man, the CRC Handbook Series on Zoonoses. At the ripe young age of 96, he continues to lecture, consult, mentor, advise, write, and inspire. The story of Jim Steele's life is stirring to us all, in and outside the allied health professions. He is a true pioneer in the evolving philosophy of One Medicine, One Health, One World. He has been called by many of his colleagues, The Father of Veterinary Public Health.

Book Description
This anthology unites articles about different aspects of scientific human experiments in the course of World War I to the 1960s. The majority of them deals with the development of medicine and life sciences as well as the national research promotion under the Nazi regime and during World War II. Studies on human experiments of French, Japanese, and US-American research enlarge the perspective on a problem of obviously international range. These empirical studies are supplemented by articles on the legal evaluation of this behaviour of scientists, as well as on the resulting movement to formulate binding transnational ethical codes on behalf of human experiments.
