Publishing Lives
In Publishing Lives, publishers from 31 independent presses talk about how they came to publishing and why they stayed ( or didn't), the mistakes they made, their relationships with authors, the problems of growth, definitions of success, why they do or do not seek grants, their relationships with distributors, bookstores, New York and Toronto, and each other.

While these technologies have thoroughly penetrated clinical practice, scientists continue to develop novel approaches that promise to push imaging into entirely new clinical realms, while addressing the issues of dose, sensitivity, or specificity that limit existing imaging approaches. Emerging Imaging Technologies in Medicine surveys a number of emerging technologies that have the promise to find routine clinical use in the near- (less than five years), mid- (five to ten years...
Lost Arrow and Other True Stories
Lost Arrow and Other True Stories contains eleven nonfiction tales based on the author's life: He is a rock climber, foreign traveler, and carpenter. Also, he spent 14 years tracing the obscure roots of a small African-American community where he lived and worked after graduating from Stanford in 1970.

He is engaged -- a position which yields special insight and gives the reader an opportunity to delve into distinctly different worlds.
