  Health-care providers and their patients are human, and all humans have unconscious biases that affect how we listen, observe, and act. Bias impacts patients when they are at their most vulnerable. Health-care bias can mean the difference not just between suffering and relief, but between life and death. 
   
   
   
  For the first time, an author with the unique perspective of being one of America's top doctors, a woman, and Black, candidly addresses the issue of bias in health care, sharing personal and patient stories and pragmatic solutions. Dr. Angela Marshall, repeatedly named a "Top Doctor" by Washingtonian magazine, draws on extensive research, poignant stories from some of the thousands of patients she has treated, and her own compelling personal experience, to examine the bias from both patients' and health-care providers' points of view. She offers a bold blueprint for change, filled with fresh solutions that can help everyone in our health-care system. 
   
   
   
  Dismissed not only explains what so many people feel so profoundly—that the system is working against them. It also reveals what health-care practitioners, patients, and society in general can do to make it right.

  Mystics of the Empire - Magic...

  In Mystics of the Empire, this groundbreaking study delves into the often-overlooked relationship between Roman emperors and magic, offering a fresh perspective on how sorcery and power intersected in the ancient world. While the lives and reigns of emperors have long captivated scholars, the fascinating role of magic in their rule remains a largely unexplored area of historical inquiry. This book examines how emperors were depicted as patrons of magical practices and as victims and persecutors of sorcery, revealing the complex political, social, and religious ramifications of magic in the Roman Empire. 
  From the mystical associations of the early emperors to the later, more controversial reigns of figures like Elagabalus, Mystics of the Empire analyzes the twofold nature of magic’s role — whether it was used as a tool for imperial authority or as a threat to Roman stability. The book explores how emperors employed magicians for their purposes and how their engagement with magic could be a source of political intrigue and downfall. Drawing on ancient sources and case studies, the narrative illuminates how these magical associations shaped the representation of emperors while also addressing the motivations behind these portrayals. 
  By offering a detailed examination of the magical context from the establishment of the Principate to the end of the Severan dynasty, Mystics of the Empire reveals the intricate interplay between the mystical and the political in ancient Rome. This work challenges traditional understandings of Roman governance, providing readers with a deeper appreciation of how magic was used as a tool of power, control, and subversion in one of history’s most enduring empires.

  The OH-58D Kiowa Warrior—a deep reconnaissance scout and attack aircraft—was legendary to those it supported. Regularly flying mere feet off of the ground while intentionally drawing enemy fire, almost everyone called Kiowa pilots crazy. Responsible for hunting elusive enemy fighters and protecting those under their charge, Kiowa crews displayed a fierce and intense devotion that was unparalleled. 
  Through the vantage point of a Kiowa Warrior helicopter pilot in the U.S. Army's Air Cavalry, Scouts Out! offers a truly unique view of the war in Afghanistan. This is accomplished by revealing a deeply personal journey through two deployments, documenting the day-to-day life, struggles, combat, and extreme challenges faced. The after effects of these experiences can be witnessed as Ryan's outlook and very personality are forever altered and changed in unexpected ways. Drawing from copious journals and notes, everything captured in Scouts Out! is raw, real, and in-the-moment.  
  Richly illustrated with 70 original photographs and maps, Scouts Out! presents an essential and accurate narrative of the conflict in Afghanistan. Devoid of the filler and misleading propaganda that is so pervasive in modern media and writing, Scouts Out! is an engrossing true story from America's longest and least understood war.
