<p>Written by a retired physician, a gifted story-teller, this book provides glimpses of 8 decades of living and half a century of medicine, divided between rural general practice and hospital emergency departments. In vignettes, narrative, and essays, it portrays a way of being in the world, of living medicine as an art. "General practice" no longer exists, yet the relationship between patient and primary care physician is still the heart of health care.</p>

Bill Merrill, with a phD in geography and a career in teaching, has drawn together the ideas of Buckminster Fuller, Kenneth Galbraith, Jacques Ellul, and others in a critique of modern industrialized civilization. He then carries to another level an analysis of the "personhood" of the corporation, and its rapidly growing threat to our globalized, technologized, and corporatized species. Written in 1969 and just now published in 2006, this book is even more desperately relevant now than at the time of its writing.

<p>This is an engaging and unique memoir, told with a wry wit by two brothers now in their eighties. Living in a small Idaho town, their schoolteacher father had summers free, and these stories tell of the authors' growing up years camping and fishing on Idaho's Wood River and Salmon River for two to three months each summer. The book paints a picture of a close and funtional family, and touches on parenting, history, and society. It appears on the surface as isolated vignettes of treasured places and events, but on a deeper level it shows an orderly progression of lessons learned and skills gained, of cultures and values being passed on--and the passing of an era on our planet.</p>
