    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.

    The second installment of this saga of gangland lore follows gregarious gangster, Michael Hardy, further down his twisted criminal path. The Last Jewish Gangster, The Middle Years, starts in 1968 with Hardy sentenced to twelve years in the world’s most dangerous prison in Mexico after taking the rap for his mother’s counterfeiting scheme, hoping to have finally earned her love and respect. Once he’s released from prison, Hardy returns to Brooklyn and tries to go straight, but drifts back into a world of crime. He gets Sammy “the Bull” Gravano to join his crew to pull major heists like kidnapping drug lords for million-dollar ransoms, and robbing cop bag men. To evade the law, he goes to Europe and ends up in Israel where he works on a Kibbutz, touching the hem of his Jewish heritage. Hardy devolves further into a gangster’s life when he returns to Brooklyn, running a finger of the Mob’s Five-Fingers International Car Theft Ring, participating in a stolen airline ticket scam, and doing fourteen hits for the Mob, still hoping his mother will take notice. When she gets busted for the car theft ring, she turns him in to reduce her time. Crushed by his mother’s callous self-interest, Hardy ends up cutting a deal with Rudy Giuliani to nab a dirty cop to reduce his time and negotiate his place in the witness protection program. Relocating to LA under an alias, it doesn’t take long for Hardy to land a gig as muscle for a Hollywood studio and meet his future wife, a sex worker who stole from his mother. The lines between love and revenge begin to blur.

    PROLOGUE – The Power of Quiet Leadership 
    In a world that celebrates loudness — loud ambition, loud success, and louder egos — there stands a man who has shown that quietness can move mountains. His name is Ratan Naval Tata. 
    He is not the kind of leader who dominates rooms or commands attention through power. Instead, he leads with silence, humility, and conviction. Yet, his influence has stretched across continents, industries, and generations. 
    To many outside India, he is the man who brought Jaguar Land Rover and Tetley Tea into an Indian fold — a symbol of a new, confident India on the global stage. But to those within his homeland, Ratan Tata represents something far more profound: the belief that business can be kind, success can be ethical, and greatness can be graceful. 
    His story is not one of inherited privilege, but of earned respect. 
    Not one of ruthless ambition, but of quiet courage. 
    This is the story of a man who built an empire not just with steel, tea, or cars — but with trust. 
    It is the story of a visionary who didn’t just change India’s business landscape, but also changed how the world looked at India. 
    This is Ratan Tata: The Gentle Titan — a story of integrity, resilience, and the art of staying human while standing tall.
