The classic collection of award-winning medical investigative reporting.What do Lyme's disease in Long Island, a pig from New Jersey, and am amateur pianist have in common? All are subjects in three of 24 utterly fascinating tales of strange illnesses, rare diseases, poisons, and parasites--each tale a thriller of medical suspense by the incomparable Berton Rouech . The best of his New Yorker articles are collected here to astound readers with intriguing tales of epidemics in America's small towns, threats of contagion in our biggest cities, even bubonic plague in a peaceful urban park. In each true story, local health authorities and epidemiologists race against time to find the clue to an unknown and possibly fatal disease. Sometimes a life hangs in the balance, and the culprit may be as innocuous as a bowl of oatmeal. Award-winning journalist Berton Rouech is unfailingly exact, informative, and able to keep anyone reading till dawn.

An outstanding spiritual treasure trove
Format: Paperback
This book is a treasure of spiritual insights and guidelines to live a devout life. Although written hundreds of years ago, it is remarkably apt and relevant today. St. Francis de Sales was a spiritual director, and it is clear why he was so sought after and valued. This book is one I turn to again and again as life circumstances change, and I have given away copies to several fellow pilgrims. This spiritual classic receives my highest endorsement.
