Synopsis

"Winged Assassins" explores the captivating lives of raptors, majestic birds of prey like eagles and falcons, revealing their unique adaptations, hunting behaviors, and ecological importance. Delving into their world provides a lens to understand broader ecological themes such as predator-prey dynamics and the impact of environmental changes. One intriguing aspect is their exceptional eyesight, enabling them to spot prey from great distances. The book also highlights how some raptors exhibit problem-solving skills and social learning, challenging perceptions of instinct-driven behavior.

 
The book progresses logically, starting with the physical characteristics of raptors, such as their sharp talons and powerful beaks, and moving into a detailed exploration of their diverse hunting strategies, including soaring and diving. It then examines their ecological roles in regulating prey populations and maintaining ecosystem health. Finally, it addresses the conservation challenges they face due to habitat loss and climate change. This comprehensive approach offers a valuable resource for bird enthusiasts, biology students, and anyone keen to understand the science of these magnificent creatures.

    A heartfelt, honest and witty account of a young doctor's first year of practice, filled with unforgettable characters and surprising events. Dr. Mathur is thrown in the deep end by a rural Texas hospital. He arrives to find that the hospital is bankrupt and has almost no resources. He faces opposition from the other two doctors, suspicion from the people, and the challenges of being an immigrant in the Bible Belt. He is also a husband and father of two curious and lively little girls. In the course of that fateful first year, his frustrating, terrifying and often hilarious encounters in the hospital are interwoven with moving stories about his wife and children. In the ER, he treats emergencies like cardiac arrests, collapsed lungs, and impaled limbs, and at home, he works to create a calm and peaceful refuge. In the course of that momentous year, he gradually wins the confidence of the townspeople by his skills, sincerity, and compassion. He tries to spend time with his family, but often ends up rushing back to care for a patient. This poignant memoir takes the reader into a doctor's life at an intimate level. It shows that the harsh demands of a medical life can be tempered with laughter, sincerity, and humility, to create a life that is truly rewarding and inspiring.

    Wild Animals I Have Known - Lobo...

    Eight animal biographies written as biographies and not as fables: a crow, a rabbit, a fox that poisons her own cub rather than leave it chained, and Lobo, the wolf of Currumpaw, whom Seton was paid to kill and never stopped regretting. Seton was a naturalist and a trapper before he was a writer, and insisted in his preface that every incident had happened. The animals all die; he said that was the only honest way to end. Sixteen plates by painters including Winslow Homer and George Inness carry the woods, fields and coastlines these animals lived in, from 1849 to 1894.

    In a country where health care is increasingly driven by profit, Margin over Mission exposes the dire consequences of corporate ownership in hospitals. James Kelly, an ICU nurse with over two decades of experience, narrates a gripping account of his final year at Lovelace Women's Hospital in Albuquerque, New Mexico—a year marred by preventable deaths, administrative changes, and the heartbreaking loss of a once-mission-driven institution to the clutches of Wall Street. 
     
     
     
    Kelly's poignant narrative takes listeners on an emotional journey through the corridors of a hospital that once stood for community and care but became overshadowed by the relentless pursuit of profit. Through detailed anecdotes and critical analysis, Kelly reveals the stark reality of a health care system compromised by private equity, where decisions prioritize profit margins over the mission of saving lives. 
     
     
     
    Kelly's unique perspective as an ICU nurse provides an insider's look into how private equity is wreaking havoc in hospitals around the country. His story is also a powerful tribute to the countless health care workers who struggle to maintain their integrity and compassion in an increasingly inhumane system that prioritizes money over people.
