Set against the backdrop of the remarkable changes in health care that have occurred over the last two centuries, Anesthesia At The House traces the evolution of anesthesia services and education at the University of Vermont Medical Center, the state’s only teaching hospital, and its partner, the University of Vermont College of Medicine. Brought to life with dozens of anecdotes and archival photographs, “the horror” of Mary Fletcher Hospital in the late nineteenth century, the long-forgotten career of etherizer John Hazen Dodds, the founding of UVM’s Anesthesia Division by anesthesiologist John Abajian, and many other stories are presented for the first time. Anesthesia At The House is a lively look back at the history of anesthesia in Vermont, a tale that will appeal to anyone with an interest in medical or Vermont history.

A Warning Shot is a story of paradoxes. It is about the failure of government regulatory oversight as well as the heroic efforts of public health officials to respond to the crisis. It is the story of catastrophic production failure at one company and the work of others to fill the void. It is a tale about the failure of national leadership to protect our nation’s vaccine supply at a time when many of these same leaders were taking great care to prepare for a potential pandemic influenza.

Often hilarious, ultimately profound, Thirty Percent Chance of Enlightenment begins when Tim Brookes receives a phone call from his editor at National Geographic asking if he'd like to write an article on weather forecasting-an assignment that doesn't go as forecast. He embarks on an adventure that starts in a hurricane on an icy mountaintop in New Hampshire and takes him to India to watch the monsoon come ashore and write about the elaborate, almost mystical art of monsoon forecasting. When the rain begins, however, a series of misunderstandings finds him banned from every single office of the India Meteorological Department. Before long, his journey turns into a cross-country road trip in search of the true meaning of the monsoon-a trip that takes him through the spice villages high in the Western Ghats, to a Hindu wedding at which all the main participants end up drenched, and leaves him ankle-deep in a holy river where the temple elephants bathe. He discovers the history of the umbrella, the bizarre ritual of rain-inducing donkey weddings, and for his erratic and dusty labors, he ends up being rewarded with a glimpse into the spiritual nature of water.
