  One of the greatest marathon runners of all time, Tom Longboat was one of the best-known athletes of the western world in the early 20th century.
  		 
  Longboat was an astonishing long-distance runner who grew up on the Six Nations reserve near Brantford, Ontario.
  		 
  He won the Boston Marathon in record time, 2:24.24, almost five minutes faster than the 10 previous winners.
  		 
  Longboat then raced in the Olympic Marathon in 1908, but he collapsed on the course amid rumours that his manager had drugged him with strychnine.
  		 
  At a rematch the following year in New York City, Longboat won the race handily, beating his nearest competitor.
  		 
  In 1916, Longboat enlisted in the Canadian Armed Forces and worked as a dispatch carrier for the 107th Pioneer Battalion in France.
  		 
  He was left for dead on the battlefield, but somehow survived and returned to Canada only to discover that his wife, Lauretta, thinking he was dead, had remarried.
  		 
  Longboat’s independent spirit and passion for running carried him through the many difficulties he faced as an Aboriginal person.
  		 
  His enduring legacy has been honoured with the Tom Longboat Awards, established in 1951 to celebrate outstanding First Nations athletes in Canada.
  		 
  He is a member of the Canadian Sports Hall of Fame and the Indian Hall of Fame.

  Son of Apollo - The Adventures...

  Christopher A. Roosa grew up the eldest son of Apollo 14 astronaut and command module pilot Stuart A. Roosa. As a child of the space program, Christopher had a ringside seat at the dinner table of one of twenty-four Americans who had either entered lunar orbit or landed on the moon. The first book written by an offspring of an Apollo astronaut to focus on growing up in that era, Son of Apollo tells the inside story of the life of his father, a man who had a remarkable career despite always believing his air force career was "off-track," from his initial application to the service to his removal from the prime crew of Apollo 13 and his subsequent assignment to Apollo 14. During the Apollo 13 mission and recovery, Stuart played an integral role in developing the procedures to return the crew to Earth safely. The focus—and the pressure—of the entire Apollo program then shifted to the Apollo 14 mission. If the Apollo program was to continue, Stuart and the Apollo 14 crew would need to get safely to the moon, land, and return. 
   
   
   
  In writing about his father's career, Christopher Roosa also shows us a familial side of the Apollo experience, from the daily struggles of growing up in the shadow of a father who was necessarily away in training most of the year to the expectations involved in being an astronaut's son.

  Medical Investigation 301 introduces adult readers to an enlightened view of the educational methodology in medical sciences. The book hits with spartan terseness. Expect surprises. The enormous quantity of information students in healthcare must master commonly leaves them familiar with the details of all the trees. But less comfortable with the forest. They may grope, bereft of cunning or shrewdness, in the bizarre situations actual patients present. Perspicacity speaks to this desire for savvy. The author/narrator, experienced in clinical practice and deductive sciences, adds a fresh viewpoint with examples. Adult readers not interested in a medical career will still enjoy these insights into medical concepts that seem to lack logical explanations. This understanding can enhance their ability to deal with their own healthcare needs. How does your nervous system recognize that something injured a part of your body? Why do viruses exist? Why does our body react incorrectly to a heart attack and worsen the outcome? Exploring these questions helps everyone peek behind the curtain. General readers of this book will acquire a refined comprehension of the labyrinth we call healthcare.
