The fearsome struggle with illness touches everyone. Now the revised edition of On Doctoring captures the pain and triumphs associated with the practice of medicine in an extraordinary collection. Written by physicians as well as non-physicians, this compilation of stories, poems, and essays eloquently captures what it is like to be sick, to be cured, to succumb to illness, or to overcome it. Drawing on the full spectrum of human emotions, the editors have included selections from such important and diverse writers as Anton Chekov, W. H. Auden, Pablo Neruda, Ernest Hemingway, Flannery O'Connor, Raymond Carver, and many more. Among the new authors included in this edition are Rainer Maria Rilke, Jane Kenyon, and May Sarton.
In this era of managed healthcare, when medicine is becoming more institutionalized and impersonal, this book recaptures the breadth, wonder, and the miracle of the medical profession. Presenting the issues, concerns, and challenges facing doctors and patients alike, the illuminating On Doctoring will speak to the hearts and minds of today's readers.

On Guerrilla Gardening: A Handbook for Gardening without Boundaries

The enemy: neglect, apathy, and the disintegration of community spirit. The arsenal: daring, a packet of seeds, and a passionate commitment to social change. When Richard Reynolds first embarked on guerrilla gardening, growing flowers by moonlight outside his apartment building, he had no idea it was part of a growing global movement committed to cultivating the potential in the land regardless of all obstacles. Charting the battles fought across 30 different countries and the revolutionary history of this subculture, from 17th century English radicals to 1970s New York City artists, this is an inspirational take on gardening in the 21st century. Perfect for seasoned gardeners and anyone curious to learn more about this unusual international phenomenon, this irresistible manual is both gleefully mischievous and genuinely political—discover the techniques of seed-bombers, the art of effective propoganda, how to love litter, what to grow in perilous circumstances, and how to change your community.

Texas comes alive in the pages of Wild Texas. Wild Texas contains more than 150 full-color photographs of Texas’s natural wonders. Author and photographer Richard Reynolds traveled thousands of miles to give us this photographic portrait of the six diverse and unique natural areas of our state. Texas is often thought of as the state with wide open spaces, but it is much more. It is mountain peaks that tower 9,000 feet in the west and the sandy beaches of the Gulf Coast in the east. It is stunning wildflowers of the Hill Country and the big skies of the panhandle. It is the acres of pine forests of the Piney Woods region and the rainbow palette of mountains and desert of Big Bend. Wild Texas is the natural beauty of our state; it is what we see, hear, and feel as we paddle the spring-fed Guadalupe River above Canyon Dam, hike the Ranchioeras Loop Trail at Big Bend Ranch State Park, look across the limestone cliffs that tower above pristine emerald pools of the Pecos River as it winds its way toward the Amistad International Reservoir. It is the pounding of a powerful surf on the Padre Island National Seashore, the history experienced through the Petroglyphs that cover the walls of Painted Canyon. It is that still, golden afternoon when you know the Lone Star State is where you’re meant to be.
