What Makes Him Tic?
When the author's 11-year-old son Michael was diagnosed with Tourette syndrome, she began a quest to make sure he didn't remain, in his words, "a freak" who shouted obscenities hundreds of times a day. In What Makes Him Tic?: Parenting a Child with Tourette Syndrome, Michele Turk blends firsthand experience raising a child with Tourette with useful information on how her son was able to control his symptoms, accept his condition, and lead a normal life. The book also provides ample research and reporting on Tourette to educate readers about what's been referred to as "the most misunderstood well-known condition." What Makes Him Tic? is written for any parent of a neurodivergent child who ref...
Ink Stained
Three years ago, I gave up my "dream" job as a senior writer at one of the most storied institutions in journalism, The Wall Street Journal. My job was no longer a dream, at least not for me. So begins one of 19 original stories in Ink Stained, by the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism's Class of 1992. With datelines from Estonia to the Gulf Coast during Hurricane Katrina, from Peru to Chechnya during bloody conflicts, Ink Stained is a vivid snapshot of what's changed and what hasn't in the news business since the class graduated, possibly the most revolutionary 20 years in journalism. Ink Stained is an examination of some of the challenges facing journalists. The Turkish government pressures a bureau chief from Turkey to tone down his stories; a town run by drug traffickers and guerrillas who killed the last gringo reporter to visit spook a foreign correspondent; and a journalism professor refuses to compromise ideals to appease administrators critical of a student newspaper.

It also serves as a shelf reference for medical school instructors, advisors, and counselors.
Unaccountable
Dieses Buch befasst sich mit einem topaktuellen und gleichzeitig umstrittenen Thema: die Praktiken von Wirtschaftsprüfungsgesellschaften und der Ruf nach umfassenden Reformen. Die ganze Brisanz dieses Themas wird am Beispiel des Prozesses gegen Arthur Anderson im Fall Enron nur zu deutlich, und die Situation für Wirtschaftsprüfer und ihre Klienten wird zunehmend brenzliger. Anhand von Interviews mit über 100 Hauptakteuren der Prüfungsbranche geht Autor Mike Brewster auf wichtige Gesprächsrunden und Ereignisse ein, die die Weiterentwicklung der Rolle des Wirtschaftsprüfers - weg von der reinen Prüfungspraxis und hin zu Consulting- und Researchaktivitäten bis zu Anlagetipps - deutlich...

Blood, Sweat and Tears
"Blood, Sweat and Tears: An Oral History of the American Red Cross, is the story of the modern-day Red Cross told through the voices of twenty-nine current and former Red Cross paid and volunteer staff from all parts of the country. The stories range from that of a World War II veteran who credits the Red Cross packages with keeping him alive when he was a POW in Germany to Americans who became heroes simply because they signed up for a Red Cross course and were later able to save a life, to volunteers who spent an intense year in Vietnam cheering up soldiers. We hear from the staffer who pulled people from an automobile before the medics arrive; the mom who saved a neighbor's child when he was drowning; the nurse who took off from her job to go half-way around the world to distribute food and supplies to victims of the tsunami that struck the day after Christmas 2004."--BOOK JACKET.
