Book excerpt: Edith Head was perhaps the most famous Hollywood costume designer of all time. Long before Rachel Zoe, Andrea Leibermann, Estee Stanley, and Nicole Chavez were styling Hollywood celebrities, eight-time Oscar Award-winning Edith Head was the sartorial sensation behind the silver screen’s most high-profile stars and starlets. The Dress Doctor, adapted from her 1959 autobiography and enhanced with lavish illustrations of her most famous dresses by artist Bill Donovan, revisits the Golden Age of Hollywood with entertaining anecdotes about dressing some of the town’s biggest legends—Audrey Hepburn, Grace Kelly, Cary Grant, and Marlene Dietrich, to name a few. In her lifetime, Head was also a sought-after authority by everyday women for her invaluable tips on dressing well: The Dress Doctor includes her witty observations and dispenses the no-nonsense timeless advice for which she was legendary.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Playing Doctor is an engaging and highly perceptive history of the medical TV series from its inception to the present day. Turow offers an inside look at the creation of iconic doctor shows as well as a detailed history of the programs, an analysis of changing public perceptions of doctors and medicine, and an insightful commentary on how medical dramas have both exploited and shaped these perceptions. Drawing on extensive interviews with creators, directors, and producers, Playing Doctor is a classic in the field of communications studies. This expanded edition includes a new introduction placing the book in the contemporary context of the health care crisis, as well as new chapters covering the intervening twenty years of television programming. Turow uses recent research and interviews with principals in contemporary television doctor shows such as ER, Grey's Anatomy, House, and Scrubs to illuminate the extraordinary ongoing cultural influence of medical shows. Playing Doctor situates the television vision of medicine as a limitless high-tech resource against the realities underlying the health care debate, both yesterday and today.

This book was released on 2013-09 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a little girl, Bonnie played with pill bugs and lizards instead of dolls. She became a doctor in 1963, graduating with two other "girl doctors" and 127 men; breaking ground for women physicians who followed in her footsteps and still fight for equality in the workplace - and this while raising a family. It's a story of exhilaration, hope, tragedy, and resolution that will make you laugh, cry, and everything in between. "I didn't get into medical school the first time I applied. I was appalled when the dean looked me straight in the eye and said, 'Mrs. Blacklock, if we accept you, we'll be taking that position away from a man who has a family to support.' I left in a huff, making it clear I didn't see his point." Doctor in a Dress is an inspiring memoir about life as it was lived in America during the last 90 years or so. In clear and authentic prose Mom celebrates the achievements of herself and her family as they meet the great and small challenges of life. This will play in Peoria as well as deep in the heart of Texas Dennis Littrell I met Bonnie and her remarkable husband, David Sr., sixteen years ago when I became employed with the Department of Assistive and Rehabilitation Services in Austin, Texas. Although I admired the Blacklocks and considered them friends, I was unaware of Bonnie s and David s history until I read an early version of her memoir. The devastating incident that left David partially paralyzed would have destroyed a lesser man and woman. After the difficult times of David s initial recovery, Bonnie enrolled in medical school with the idea that she might have to become the chief provider. Bonnie s work ethic kept her going until her retirement from family practice at age 70, and retirement from administrative medicine at the young age of 91 a remarkable achievement. I was moved by Bonnie s story, and I admire the strength of both her and David Sr. Kelvin Samaratunga, MD MS FRCS FRCSE, neurological surgeon

Book excerpt: When it comes to disease, who beats the odds — and why? When it comes to spontaneous healing, skepticism abounds. Doctors are taught that “miraculous” recoveries are flukes, and as a result they don’t study those cases or take them into account when treating patients. Enter Dr. Jeff Rediger, who has spent over 15 years studying spontaneous healing, pioneering the use of scientific tools to investigate recoveries from incurable illnesses. Dr. Rediger’s research has taken him from America’s top hospitals to healing centers around the world—and along the way he’s uncovered insights into why some people beat the odds. In Cured, Dr. Rediger digs down to the root causes of illness, showing how to create an environment that sets the stage for healing. He reveals the patterns behind healing and lays out the physical and mental principles associated with recovery: first, we need to physically heal our diet and our immune systems. Next, we need to mentally heal our stress response and our identities. Through rigorous research, Dr. Rediger shows that much of our physical reality is created in our minds. Our perception changes our experience, even to the point of changing our physical bodies—and thus the healing of our identity may be our greatest tool to recovery. Ultimately, miracles only contradict what we know of nature at this point in time. Cured leads the way in explaining the science behind these miracles, and provides a first-of-its-kind guidebook to both healing and preventing disease.
