If you'd like to dig a little deeper than the six o'clock
news headlines and ponder some big thoughts
about medicine, politics, history,
and race, sit down with our summer book reviews.
You'll come out that much smarter.

Things
e all like to think that we read books year round,
but let's face it: We don't, and summer is often the time
when we get to pick up something longer than a 30minute dinner recipe. But if you don't even have that
much time, just read our reviews to feel that much
smarter. Some of the books are medical in nature, some political, some
historical, and some a mix of all three. Learn about the road to discovery of the world's first antibiotic and how it revolutionized medicine
and society. Peek into the massive underbelly of the tourism and hospitality industry through the eyes of an economist who roams the
country with his wife, stopping from place to place to work and live as
a native. Update yourself on the current healthcare reform debate
through a book exploring the failures of the private insurance system.
Explore your own values by considering the questions posed by a
leading medical ethicist. Just think of us as your personal Cliff Notes.
Happy reading.
