SAMPSON DAVIS, M.D.
SHE’S NOT THERE:
LIVING AND DYING IN BRICK CITY FIVE DAYS AT MEMORIAL
A Life in Two Genders
“After reading She’s Not There, my students asked if we could bring Jenny Boylan to campus. What a huge impact she had on Creative Writing students; Women, Gender and Sexuality Studies students; and students at the Pride Center as well as a the general campus community during her evening reading and commentary. Bringing Jenny to OSU was inspired by students and she was inspirational for them during her visit.” —The Graduate School, Oregon State University Broadway | TR | 978-0-385-34697-9 | 352pp. | $14.95 Also available in e-Book Also by the author: STUCK IN THE MIDDLE WITH YOU | 978-0-7679-2177-0 | $14.00 I’M LOOKING THROUGH YOU | 978-0-7679-2175-6 | $14.95 Author website: www.JenniferBoylan.net
SHERI FINK, M.D., Ph.D.
An E.R. Doctor Returns Home
Life and Death in a Storm-Ravaged Hospital
“Living and Dying in Brick City provides a fascinating look at the interesting but often terrifying life of a medical professional in a tough inner-city hospital. More importantly it provides excellent and very practical advice about healthcare issues that are relevant to people of every socioeconomic group. It is entertaining while being helpful.” —Benjamin S. Carson Sr., MD, The Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions Spiegel & Grau | TR | 978-0-8129-8234-3 | 256pp. | $16.00 Also available in e-Book Author website: www.DrSampsonDavis.com
“[Fink] offers a stunning re-creation of the storm, its aftermath, and the investigation that followed. . . . She evenhandedly compels readers to consider larger questions, not just of ethics but race, resources, history, and what constitutes the greater good, while humanizing the countless smaller tragedies that make up the whole. And, crucially, she provides context, relating how other hospitals fared in similar situations. Both a breathtaking read and an essential book for understanding how people behave in times of crisis.” —Booklist (starred) Crown | HC | 978-0-307-71896-9 | 432pp. | $27.00 Also available in Audio CD, Audio DL, and e-Book Author website: www.SheriFink.net
