Waking Up
Imagine waking up to a world where you know nothing . . . not even yourself. That is what happens to Eleanor Wright. She has no memory of her life the morning she wakes up from what seems like weeks of nightmares. With shaky hands and a sore body, she walks out of a bedroom and into a world where she is surrounded by strangers, herself included. With the help of Andrew, a man who claims to be her husband and her savior from a hellish ordeal, Eleanor faces the future while trying to remember the past so she can piece back together her life and what caused her memory loss. But when reality comes crashing down around her, Eleanor must decide if she is ready to move forward or if the past is too hard to give up.
Murder in the Supreme Court
Justice must be served when a chief clerk is killed in this mystery by the New York Times–bestselling author. When Clarence Sutherland, chief clerk of the Supreme Court, is found dead, Lt. Martin Teller of the DC police and Susanna Pinscher of the Justice Department are pulled together to find the killer. It turns out that Sutherland had a lot of confidential information on important people, and any one of them could be responsible for his death. But one startling clue seems to implicate the high court itself: Sutherland was found slumped over in the chief justice’s chair. Did the clerk know something that the top judge, and perhaps even the president himself, didn’t want revealed? Teller and Pinscher intend to find out . . . From the daughter of President Harry Truman, an expert at depicting the details of life inside the beltway, Murder in the Supreme Court provides an intriguing peek into the world of Washington’s powerful justice system. “Truman’s hints as to the real state of Washington are terrifying if true.” —Chicago Sun-Times “A dazzling series.” —The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Modern Polygamy in the United States

Thus, world-wide attention focused on the State of Texas in 2008 as agents surrounded the compound of The Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (FLDS) and took custody of more than 400 children. Several members of this schismatic religious group, whose women adorned themselves in "prairie dresses," admitted to practicing polygamy. The state justified the raid on charges that underage marriage was being forced on young women. A year later, however, all but one of the children had been returned to their parents and only ten men were charged with crimes, some barely related to the original charges. Th...
Advances in Surgical and Medical Specialties
The pace and sophistication of advances in medicine in the past two decades have been truly breathtaking.

However, unlike other series on medicine or medical texts, this series focuses on current trends, perspectives, and issues in medicine that are central to healthcare delivery in the 21st century.

Big Food, Big Pharma, Big Lies

What goes on behind the scenes in these industries is more suspicious, more devious, more disreputable than you could have ever imagined. Rosenberg’s message is clear: the pharmaceutical and agricultural industries are tainting public health through marketing disguised as medical education and research, aggressive lobbying, and high-level conflicts of interest.
