The Picture of Health is an essential resource for students and early-career professionals learning the importance of public health storytelling. This introductory book breaks down public health issues through 100 compelling databytes of pictures and text that can stand alone as research summaries compared to table and chart-heavy papers. Through curating these databytes, The Picture of Health shows how public health workers can combine visuals with data to create a larger storyline about the issues, conditions, and pressures that shape the health of populations.

A white man has been lynched two months before 23-year-old Donald Gambell returns to his New Jersey hometown. As the first black member of the police force, Gambell learns the routines of his new work--the traffic stops and domestic quarrels, the bullying and bragging--from his partner Frank Butras who refuses to discuss the murder that has left the town shaken. For Gambell, life near his father and sister is familiar in both its comforts and confusions, but his home has changed in ways he finds difficult to understand.

Jonathan Parrish has been invited to give a lecture at the National Education Association conference in New Orleans, an honor that as a teacher he can t refuse. When he glances at the attendee list, he finds Lily Mayeux's name. They haven t seen each other in twelve years. When it had ended abruptly with her, he knew he was responsible; he had made a mistake. When Lily hears the message on her hotel room phone inviting her to lunch in New Orleans, she knows she will have a lot to think about if she doesn't face Jonathan, doesn t sit across from him in a matter-of-fact way for a voluntary, controlled, poignant hour. If she actively tries to avoid him, she will feel silly and juvenile and it will ruin these few days away from her husband and son. Eight years younger than Jonathan, she has always been a little scared of him; she wants to prove this fear was ridiculous now that she is a 35-year-old woman. Told in the alternating, distinctive voices of Jonathan and Lily, In the Age of Love is a novel of anticipation, regret, desire, and the acute awareness of time passing. When former lovers are thrown together by surprising chance, can the power of memory lift away reality? As Lily asks herself, Have I reassumed an old identity or have I been transformed in preparation of beginning another life? In the Age of Love offers best-selling author Michael Stein's startlingly intimate exploration of the images and remembered moments that cross our minds and which we can t shake off when part of the past returns.

Introduced to Harris Montrose, an artistic giant and eccentric who has secluded himself in Providence, Rhode Island, Rand becomes Montrose's studio assistant. Rand has a front-row seat on the deteriorating relationship between Montrose and his life-long friend, the sculptor Simon Pruhar. When Montrose puts Pruhar in his new picture, The Rape of the Muse, and publishes it in Vanity Fair, his oldest friend sues for libel. Rand's journey, as he falls for a woman who pushes him to paint again, is one of artistic inspiration, love and betrayal, hero worship and disappointment. This novel is based on a true artworld rivalry and courtroom drama.
