Heart: A History
Author: Sandeep Jauhar
Publisher: Farrar, Straus and Giroux
ISBN: 0374717001
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 292
Book Description
The bestselling author of Intern and Doctored tells the story of the thing that makes us tick For centuries, the human heart seemed beyond our understanding: an inscrutable shuddering mass that was somehow the driver of emotion and the seat of the soul. As the cardiologist and bestselling author Sandeep Jauhar shows in Heart: A History, it was only recently that we demolished age-old taboos and devised the transformative procedures that have changed the way we live. Deftly alternating between key historical episodes and his own work, Jauhar tells the colorful and little-known story of the doctors who risked their careers and the patients who risked their lives to know and heal our most vital organ. He introduces us to Daniel Hale Williams, the African American doctor who performed the world’s first open heart surgery in Gilded Age Chicago. We meet C. Walton Lillehei, who connected a patient’s circulatory system to a healthy donor’s, paving the way for the heart-lung machine. And we encounter Wilson Greatbatch, who saved millions by inventing the pacemaker—by accident. Jauhar deftly braids these tales of discovery, hubris, and sorrow with moving accounts of his family’s history of heart ailments and the patients he’s treated over many years. He also confronts the limits of medical technology, arguing that future progress will depend more on how we choose to live than on the devices we invent. Affecting, engaging, and beautifully written, Heart: A History takes the full measure of the only organ that can move itself.

Languages : en
Pages : 254
Book Description
This book was birthed out of nature walks where I longed to be alone with God and where I sought to hear his voice in the Echoes of the Refreshing Springs. I yearned to seek God's face and escape the norm, the noisy crowds and the masses of people I pass on this journey called life. As a mother of five, my life revolves around them, and as much as I love my children, I do need a break from them at times. These nature walks became my pavilion, my hiding place where just God and I could spend time together. LaShawn Ferguson, a.k.a. Desmonia Adedayo, is a minister at New Home Baptist Church under the leadership of Pastor Bobby Hicks. She is the author of Nuggets of Wisdom: Reflections of a Journey. She graduated from Evangel School of the Bible with a major in Biblical studies.

She has been blessed to travel to the Motherland, Kenya, Africa, to preach the Gospel. She has a passion for people and believes that when the Saints of truly come together then we can evangelize the nations. Her desire is to one day have a home for women that have suffered abuse and are unsure of what their purpose is in life. She is a woman that can relate to pain and adversity in life, feeling forsaken by all and loved by none and would love for all humanity to taste of the goodness of God's everlasting love.

Your Own Song To Sing
Author: Saverio

ISBN: 1450087760
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 695
Book Description
AUTHOR UP CLOSE. I have been a contractor most of my adult life. This is actually a second career for me. Hopefully you have enjoyed many of my lyrics in this book. Some words I spelled wrong on purpose, I guess you know that by now. I did so the end of the word would have the effect I wanted; many lyricists do that. If by chance there are others, then shame on me and my spell check. Grammar never was my best subject. I’m married with six children and nine grandchildren. Working in any form has been my many hobbies. This is my first edition of Your Own Song to Sing. I will be doing additional editions, probably one a year for the next four or five years. Without writing any new material, I have enough to fill that many books, and yes, I’m still writing. Again I surely hope to see some of you that use my lyrics, if not on center stage when the awards come around. Meanwhile All Stay Well.—SAVERIO
