The Cold Dish:
When a local boy is found dead near the North Cheyenne reservation in the mountains of Wyoming, most people assume it was an isolated hunting accident. But Sheriff Walt Longmire is not most people. His investigation shows that two years earlier, the dead boy and three others were given suspended sentences for raping a Cheyenne girl. Soon, a second boy is gunned down, and only Sheriff Longmire can keep the remaining two safe.

Death Without Company:
When elderly local woman Mari Baroja is poisoned, Sheriff Longmire wants to know who’s been to see her lately. As the Sheriff enters the outermost edge of her web, he sets in motion a string of disturbing occurrences involving members of the isolated community: the coal and methane industry, the former Sheriff, and other interests. With Deputy Victoria, Mr. Santiago, and his friend Henry Standing Bear, Longmire must wrangle a man with an appalling history of abuse.

Kindness Goes Unpunished:
Walt travels to Philadelphia while investigating a brutal assault on his daughter Cady. Walt is sure that Cady’s ex-boyfriend is to blame, until the young man turns up dead. Enlisting the help of deputy Victoria Moretti, Walt searches for answers and discovers that Cady was wrapped up in a conspiracy involving a Salvadoran narcotics smuggling operation. A small fish in a big pond, Walt is determined to lay some small-town justice on these big city slickers.

Another Man's Moccasins:
When a dead Vietnamese girl is found along a Wyoming highway, Longmire has little to go on. Near the crime scene, however, he discovers a homeless Indian and Vietnam vet who happens to have the girl’s purse, which contains a photograph that reminds him of his first investigation as a Marine detective in the jungles of Vietnam. Longmire is sure that the two crimes are connected, but old enemies thwart his search for answers.

Veteran clinicians offer a unique framework for understanding the psychological origins of behaviors typical of Alzheimer's and other dementias, and for providing appropriate care for patients as they decline. Guidelines are rooted in the theory of retrogenesis in dementia--that those with the condition regress in stages toward infancy--as well as knowledge of associated brain damage. The objective is to meet patients where they are developmentally to best be able to address the tasks of their daily lives, from eating and toileting to preventing falls and wandering. This accessible information gives readers a platform for creating strategies that are respectful, sensitive, and tailored to individual needs, thus avoiding problems that result when care is ineffective or counterproductive.

Featured in the coverage:

• Abilities and disabilities during the different stages of Alzheimer's disease.
• Strategies for keeping the patient's finances safe.
• Pain in those with dementia, and why it is frequently ignored.
• "Help! I've lost my mother and can't find her!"
• Sexuality and intimacy in persons with dementia.
• Instructive vignettes of successful caring interventions.

Given the projected numbers of individuals expected to develop dementing conditions,Care Giving for Alzheimer’s Disease will find immediate interest among clinical psychologists, health psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and primary care physicians.

A New York Times Notable Book of 2013

When the woman he loved was diagnosed with a metastatic cancer, science writer George Johnson embarked on a journey to learn everything he could about the disease and the people who dedicate their lives to understanding and combating it. What he discovered is a revolution under way—an explosion of new ideas about what cancer really is and where it comes from. In a provocative and intellectually vibrant exploration, he takes us on an adventure through the history and recent advances of cancer research that will challenge everything you thought you knew about the disease.

Deftly excavating and illuminating decades of investigation and analysis, he reveals what we know and don’t know about cancer, showing why a cure remains such a slippery concept. We follow him as he combs through the realms of epidemiology, clinical trials, laboratory experiments, and scientific hypotheses—rooted in every discipline from evolutionary biology to game theory and physics. Cogently extracting fact from a towering canon of myth and hype, he describes tumors that evolve like alien creatures inside the body, paleo-oncologists who uncover petrified tumors clinging to the skeletons of dinosaurs and ancient human ancestors, and the surprising reversals in science’s comprehension of the causes of cancer, with the foods we eat and environmental toxins playing a lesser role. Perhaps most fascinating of all is how cancer borrows natural processes involved in the healing of a wound or the unfolding of a human embryo and turns them, jujitsu-like, against the body.

Throughout his pursuit, Johnson clarifies the human experience of cancer with elegiac grace, bearing witness to the punishing gauntlet of consultations, surgeries, targeted therapies, and other treatments. He finds compassion, solace, and community among a vast network of patients and professionals committed to the fight and wrestles to comprehend the cruel randomness cancer metes out in his own family. For anyone whose life has been affected by cancer and has found themselves asking why?, this book provides a new understanding. In good company with the works of Atul Gawande, Siddhartha Mukherjee, and Abraham Verghese, The Cancer Chronicles is endlessly surprising and as radiant in its prose as it is authoritative in its eye-opening science.

A provocative, intellectually vibrant, eloquently written look at recent advances in the war on cancer that will challenge everything you thought you knew about the disease-and provide hope for tomorrow and into the future.

When science writer George Johnson's wife was diagnosed with a metastatic cancer, he plunged himself into a study of the disease and of the people who dedicate their lives to understanding and combating it. What he discovered is that a revolution is now under way-a thrilling explosion of theories about what cancer really is and where it comes from. Here we have his luminous accounts of, among other revelations: tumors that evolve like alien creatures inside the body . . . paleoncologists who have found petrified tumors clinging to the skeletons of dinosaurs and human ancestors . . . the surprising changes in science's understanding of the causes of cancer, with dietary specifics and environmental toxins taking a lesser role. The Cancer Chronicles is endlessly surprising and as radiant in its prose as it is authoritative in its eye-opening science.

Now is a critical time in pediatric informatics. As information technologies—electronic health records (EHRs), personal health records (PHRs), computerized physician order entry (CPOE)—and standards (HL7) are developed to improve the quality of health care, it is imperative for policy makers and pediatricians to be aware of their impact on pediatric care and child health. Informed child advocates must be at the planning table as national and regional health information networks are developed to insure the unique health care needs of children are being met. Pediatric Informatics: Computer Applications in Child Health is a current digest of the important trends in pediatric informatics, written by leading experts in the field. This book explores how the management of biomedical data, information, and knowledge can optimize and advance child health. The contributors investigate the specific importance of pediatric informatics is derived from the biological, psychological, social and cultural needs that the distinguish children from other populations. These distinctions create complexities in the management of pediatric data and information that make children a vulnerable population and require the development of a new body of knowledge in pediatric informatics.
