As a small boy, Pieter Kohnstam lived with his parents in an apartment in Amsterdam during World War II. Anne Frank, whose diary later became world famous, was a neighbor and playmate. When the Nazis occupied The Netherlands, the Frank family went into hiding, but the Kohnstams decided to flee. Their year-long odyssey across Europe was filled with hardship, danger and miraculous escapes. Based on a memoir of Pieter's father, "A Chance to Live" is a powerful tale of struggle, determination and survival during the Holocaust, chronicling what is best about people and affirming that we are, after all, one human family.

A sexy, humorous and sometimes sobering romp through the heart and mind of one of Sarasota's most popular and provocative newspaper columnist. From making wisecracks about aging in a town where Botox begins at birth and explaining why a cocktail (or two) is sometimes the only antidote to being single, to providing incisive commentary about money, race and politics, M.C. Coolidge's writing has earned her a reputation of a "tell-it-like-it is" columnist with a penchant for controversy.

The Not So Patient Advocate provides a much needed antidote to the fear, anxiety and stress of having to deal with sometimes less than responsive health care providers. Ellen Menard, an award winning senior health care executive, BSN,MBA, upends the notion of patients as passive and powerless consumers, and through true stories that provide context, the author discusses a host of do's and dont's for successful collaboration with the health care team-including the right questions to ask doctors and specialists, the best way to deal with medical staff on the phone, and what to keep in mind when going to a diagnostic lab, the ER or the hospital. There is also sound advice for coping with aging parents and relatives, handling mental health care situations and dealing with health insurance. As a three time neurosurgery patient, the author also shares her know-how from a patient's perspective, and in the process speaks to our vulnerabilities and fears, and gives us the courage and hope, as well as the tools for partnering with our health care providers to obtain optimal care. This is an uplifiting book that unites rather than polarizes, empowering the readers to become active contributors to their health and wellbeing.

In welcoming the Mayflower Pilgrims to American shores, the Wampanoag Indian tribe inadvertently created the national holiday known as Thanksgiving. Yet few who celebrate the holiday know anything about the tribe that befriended and helped the Pilgrims survive. "The Historical Footprints of the Mashpee Wampanoag Indians" aims to change that. Written by a Native American elder of the tribe, the book explores the fascinating evolution of the Wampanoag from their beginnings to the present day.

Family caregivers are the unsung heroes of the life-saving drama that's triggered by a cancer diagnosis. Nearly three quarters of American households will find themselves caring for a cancer patient at one point in their lives. This book is the first to capture their thoughts, feelings, and insights on a large scale. It is based on 95 formal interviews with non-professional caregivers (some of whom are cancer survivors themselves), covering 117 patients in 19 states and two Canadian provinces who ranged in age from 2 to 92 and faced 40 different cancer diagnoses. Practical lessons drawn from caregivers' experiences are intermingled with their own words to forge a compelling narrative intended to help both patients and their family caregivers to understand and cope with the full range of issues they should anticipate as they fight the battle of their lives. The lessons provide building blocks on which you can rely as you participate in decision-making and plan for the future. You will learn about cancer caregiver considerations in: Getting a clear cancer diagnosis Gathering information about the cancer diagnosis Choosing cancer treatment partners Making cancer treatment decisions (including complementary and alternative treatments and palliative care) Getting inside the cancer caregiving role (including questions to ask on doctor visits) Accessing available cancer information and treatment resources (including clinical trials) Managing cancer-related financial and legal issues Seeking normalcy during cancer treatment Confronting cancer-related issues facing families with children (children in a household with cancer, and children as patients) Managing cancer caregiver emotions and health Nearing life's end from cancer Preparing for the aftermath (including how cancer caregivers heal) Anticipating how cancer changes caregivers

The framers of the U.S. Constitution created a blueprint for government unlike any other in history, maximizing individual freedom and building a powerful nation. But in times of ideological partisanship, their visionary purpose is often obscured by disinformation spread by pundits and politicians. How Our Government Really Works provides an antidote to such manipulations and misunderstandings. By examining divisive issues like federalism, checks and balances, activist vs. traditionalist judges, and the roles of Congress, the president, the federal bureaucracy and the, it articulates what our framers meant and provides readers with an understanding of the way our system of government is intended to work.
