Someone's found a body at Pohakuloa, the army's live-fire training area. Bearing all the marks of ancient ritual sacrifice--the murder is the grisliest of Detective Koa Kane's career. The bizarre case draws Koa deep into his own Hawaiian roots. As Koa probes the victim's past, he must sort through a rich roster of suspects--grave robbers, native activists, thieves, and star gazers. Koa surmounts a host of obstacles as he pursues the murderer--an incompetent local medical examiner, hostility from haoles (Westerners) and sovereignty advocates, and myriad lies. Did the victim stumble upon a gang of high-tech archaeological thieves? Or did he learn a secret so shocking it cost him his life and put others, too, in mortal danger? Will Hilo's most respected native detective catch this fiend in time, or will the killer strike again--with even deadlier consequences?

Why would anyone say ''Let's stick wires into someone's brain, run voltage through it, and see what happens!'' So asks Jackie Hunt Christensen in Life With a Battery-Operated Brain: A Patient's Guide to Deep Brain Stimulation Surgery for Parkinson s Disease. Author Christensen answers this question -- and more -- in her unique and comprehensive book, as she has first-hand knowledge of the procedure commonly referred to as DBS. She herself lived with Parkinson's disease for more than seven years before electing to be evaluated for DBS surgery. 
It was not a fast and easy choice. For Christensen, a fear of DBS surgery -- which involves placing one or two electrical wires inside the brain -- and its potential complications had to be weighed against quality of life without the surgery, a life of increasing parkinsonian symptoms and a growing pharmacopeia of medications, which might help control her symptoms but which could have devastating long-term effects on her body. Ultimately, she was deemed a good candidate for the surgery, and DBS seemed like her only logical option -- a choice that has been validated post-surgery, as Christensen now enjoys life with most of her motor symptoms well controlled. 
Parkinson's disease, the author is quick to point out, does not end, but DBS is meant to be a long-term treatment. Jackie Hunt Christensen offers a step-by-step look at her own journey, as well as offering information on a typical evaluation process, medical statistics, questions to ask neurosurgeons, opinions from other DBS patients, the programming process for DBS, and much more. Life With a Battery-Operated Brain is a must-read for those who are considering deep brain stimulation and for those who love them.

Embarking on a mission to improve his golf game, Mark J. Choiniere takes on a meticulous self-study curriculum in the footsteps of golf legend Ben Hogan, and unexpectedly encounters the character of Henny Bogan and the role he played in the great man's championship career. Ben Hogan made occasional, seemingly immaterial, references to himself as Henny Bogan throughout his life -- often enough, though, that his employees created a nameplate for his desk. But, what did this alter ego have to do with the man who was roundly acknowledged as the best ball striker of all time? Mark J. Choiniere carefully examines the chain of events that transformed Ben Hogan from a promising golfer who could not make a living on the professional tour to one whose very name became synonymous with excellence and ball striking. The mystery of how Hogan accomplished that transformation has remained a ''secret'' in golfing folklore for more than half a century. Though Hogan shared some so-called secrets of his golf swing over the years, his revelations fell short of full disclosure. Choiniere explains the reasons for this and finally reveals the critical role played by Henny Bogan and, in the spirit of full disclosure of the joy of golf, ultimately provides step-by-step methods to enable any serious practitioner to dig their own swing out of the dirt.

Imagine trusting a doctor--with the best reputation in the state--to do surgery on your eyes. Now imagine the worst of outcomes. Blindness in an eye that you learn, in fact, never needed surgery. And the medical center where you were treated is ignoring the problem. Waking Up Blind is the story of how an eye surgeon became the cause of an array of medical problems for his patients. It is also the story of how one of the nation's premier medical centers tried to conceal the growing scandal. The faculty who exposed the problems were punished. Official committees and the university leaders minimized the misconduct. Slowly, lawsuits and publicity brought some to light in bits and pieces. With the use of court documents, transcripts of tape-recorded conversations, interviews, and personal observation, Dr. Tom Harbin presents this case from the very beginning, uncovering all levels of wrongdoing and secrecy. Waking Up Blind will shock the reader with its candid exploration of the dark side of medicine.
