Traveling with Winslow Homer, by Robert J. Demarest, is a refreshing, scholarly look at America’s most respected and yet least understood artist. The author takes the reader on a journey of discovery, visiting many of the places made famous by Homer in his wonderful watercolors and oils. Demarest compares the venues Homer rendered on paper and canvas with the same places seen through the lens of the author’s camera. A respected artist and sportsman in his own right, Demarest painstakingly examines Homer’s paintings, illuminating the skill that Homer applied to each venue as he re-arranged the composition to suit his exquisitely well-honed artistic sensibilities. In addition, Demarest offers us insight as to the true nature of the artist himself, by presenting compelling new evidence that Homer was not the reclusive misanthrope others would have us believe. He was also a dedicated sportsman, interested in the outdoors, and in particular, fishing. Traveling with Winslow Homer will undoubtedly change forever the way America and the rest of the world views this distinguished painter/angler.

Constance "Connie" Gueyer and Peter Tarker each conduct research in laboratories at Bailey Medical College in New York City. Connie is a 48 year-old virologist (the study of viruses) and working with the Congo River virus. Peter is a 37 year-old geneticist (the study of genes). Virology and genetics are closely connected, so getting each other's opinions at work was the excuse they used to get together. They soon had a relationship going. Connie feels a bit self conscious due to the age difference between them. So she decides to take things slowly.  Connie's studies show her the region of the brain that seems to control aging. Since Peter has identified the factor that causes aging, they begin an intense collaboration. The results set the scientific community on its ear! Then Connie sees Peter with his young assistant and believes (wrongly) the worst. In a moment of depression, and while under the influence of some medication, Connie takes a dose of the viral preparation they have been using in tests with lab mice. Shortly afterward though, the mice in those tests began to have serious problems.

This updated version of the world's most popular medical textbook on the subject builds on the success of the 4th edition, keeping the same basic format as before. New findings from the research laboratory and bedside have been integrated into a clearly written narrative covering all aspects of each major disease entity. Every chapter has been updated, documented by the addition of some 550 new references (1,869 in total), bringing a fresh new perspective to the subject of parasitic infections. The text is generously illustrated with 417 figures, most of which are in brilliant, full color. The text's stunning life cycle drawings and superb scanning electron micrographs, so popular with students, have all been kept intact for the 5 th edition, serving as one of the centerpieces of Parasitic Diseases. An up to date version of The Medical Letter compliments the extensively revised Appendix section. Finally, some useful web sites are listed in Appendix E. Our textbook is expressly intended as a guide for practitioners and students of medicine. Clinicians who routinely give advice to their patients regarding international travel will find the 5th edition most useful. Doody's Review Service of medical books gave the 4th edition its highest rating. The 5th edition promises to exceed their expectations.
