  “A tour de force of spine care from a master spine surgeon who has literally seen it all over the course of a four-decade career! This book is a must-read that is accessible to both the layperson and healthcare professionals. I found it both enjoyable and informative.” — Dr. Andrew J. Schoenfeld, Harvard Medical School professor and Spine editor in chief
  		 
  A practical and occasionally provocative look at the state of spinal surgical care
  		 
  Just a few decades ago most spine surgery was literally a gamble: maybe you’d get better and maybe you wouldn’t. Today we have the knowledge, understanding, and technology to predictably relieve pain and neurological deficits like never before — yet many patients are still getting subpar care.  
  		 
  Foundational knowledge of surgical spine care isn’t spreading to the medical community, let alone to patients, whose quality of life hangs in the balance. With The Back Story on Spine Care, orthopedic specialist Dr. Drew Bednar presents case studies that illuminate the common issues plaguing patients — and their treatment — today.
  		 
  Back problems are among the most common health issues, and with Dr. Bednar’s insights, knowledge, and practical tips, medical professionals can provide care that leads to healthier backs and happier lives.

  Will Ryan's Dare to be Different: A leadership fable about transformational change in schools tells the fictional tale of Brian Smith a primary school head teacher who listens to what his political masters have to say, but then sets out to inspire real transformational change by doing the exact opposite and leading through his own values and beliefs. Writer and novelist Michael Korda claims that 'the fastest way to succeed is to look like you are playing to someone else's rules whilst quietly playing by your own'. Dare to be Different illustrates how real transformational change can occur when a school leader does just that, as Will Ryan shares the trials and tribulations of the story's fearless protagonist, Brian Smith, as he endeavours to take back ownership of what happens in the classroom. Exploring the significant challenges that school leaders often have to overcome in order to turn their dream into a reality, Dare to be Different lays before the reader a model of inspirational school leadership in this engaging and humorous take on life in modern schools. The story is told through the eyes and experiences of Brian as he resists top-down government directives on how his school should be run and instead strives to build a vibrant curriculum with which to hook the imaginations of today's children. Scattered among the narrative's twists and turns are deeper insights into the nature and purpose of schooling that are sure to rekindle school leaders' passion for pupil-centred education over policy-led prescription, and which will motivate them to 'dare to be different' in standing up for the education they believe in. Whilst it may be a fable with fictitious characters, Dare to be Different is based on real schools: schools in which the author has worked with leaders and teachers who, by applying their deeply held educational beliefs, accelerate learning and provide exciting learning opportunities for their pupils. Will Ryan has condensed and interwoven his forty-three years' worth of accumulated experience of going in and out of the UK's best classrooms into this book, in which you will find: at least one-hundred-and-eighteen tips that are based around exciting primary practice and which should make the hairs tingle on the neck of the most wizened school inspector; at least forty-five significant ideas that will strengthen leadership and have the capacity to transform your school as a learning community; at least fifty quotations that will make you think about how our most inspirational leaders create inspirational teachers who get an inspirational response from their learners; and compelling pieces of evidence to demonstrate that primary school teachers are doing a fabulous job, despite what any politician or tabloid reporter would tell you. Suitable reading for all school leaders at both primary and secondary levels who are looking to promote excellence and raise aspirations within their schools and wider communities.

  DISPEL ANY BELIEFS YOU HAVE ABOUT REAL ESTATE INVESTING, BECOMING A MILLIONAIRE, AND THE IDEOLOGY AROUND MONEY. 
  Whether you have a bank account in the negative or a million dollars to invest, this book will not be like any other real estate guide you’ve read before. André Stewart not only gives you every single tool to make money in any real estate economic climate, but he also does so while navigating an unprecedented modern economy. If you want to be financially free in an unparalleled time in the history of any country, this is the book for you. 
  In The Real Estate Investing Diet, André Stewart shares practical tools and techniques for gaining financial independence and generating long-term wealth through real estate investing—without using your own personal credit or up front capital. These approaches have been honed from advising tens of thousands of CEOs and executives while working in the banking industry, but this book was written so everyone—from people in poverty to senior executives—can quit their job or supplement their income.

Yet, many people believe this, and the purpose of this book is to help you discover ways to remove limiting beliefs that subconsciously hold you back from reaching your financial goals. 
  To accomplish this, The Real Estate Investing Diet focuses on breaking down your money blueprint, enhancing your mental preparation, and creating the fundamental foundation needed for real estate investing.

  Desire - Where Sex Meets Addiction

  We've all felt the giddy flutter of excitement when our new lover walks into the room. Waited by the phone, changed our plans...But are we in love, or is there something darker at work? In Desire: Where Sex Meets Addiction, Susan Cheever explores the shifting boundaries between the feelings of passion and addiction, desire and need, and she raises provocative and important questions about who we love and why.  Elegantly written and thoughtfully composed, Cheever's book combines unsparing and intimate memoir, interviews and stories, hard science and psychology to explore the difference between falling in love and falling prey to an addiction. Part one defines what addiction is and how it works -- the obsession, the betrayals, the broken promises to oneself and others. Part two explores the possible causes of addiction -- is it nature or nurture, a permanent condition or a temporary derangement? Part three considers what we can do about it, including a provocative suggestion about how we describe and treat addiction, and a look at the importance of community and storytelling.  In the end, there are no easy answers. "A straight look about some crooked feelings," Desire shows us the difference between the addiction that cripples our emotions, and healthy, empowering love that enhances our lives.
