"This unusual book presents twelve lively, literate and superbly written New Yorker stories of authentic medical detection. Among the twelve are "A Pig from Jersey" and "The Fog," which won the 1950 Lasker Foundation Award for medical reporting. Each story is, among other things, a tale of mystery and suspense. Each contains a detective, several victims, a more or less homicidal criminal, and events that actually occurred - most of them in the past ten years, in or near New York City. The participants, however, are not to be found in conventional studies of crime and detection. The detectives are not police officers: they are doctors - medical inspectors, epidemiologists or research scientists. The criminals are not men and women, but, for the most part, microbes. And the victims fall prey not only to the murderous assaults of such criminals, but to their own ignorance as well. For the pistodaggerts and daggar thrusts in these riddles are diseases that can be easily avoided." --Amazon.com.

"Alex Douglas always wanted to be a hero. But nothing heroic ever happened to Alex. Nothing, that is, until his eleventh birthday [which fell on September 11, 2001]. Then everything changed"--P. [4] of cover.
After Pearl Harbor, the lives of eleven Montana college football teammates are changed forever in an “intensely suspenseful and moving” novel (Scott Turow). In the early 1940s, the starting lineup of Treasure State University’s football team are local heroes. But as America is pulled into World War II, they feel called to become heroes of another kind. Now, ten of them are scattered around the globe in the war’s lonely and dangerous theaters. The eleventh man, Ben Reinking, has been plucked from pilot training by a military propaganda machine. He is to chronicle the adventures of his teammates, man by man, for publication in small-town newspapers across the country like the one his father edits. Ready for action, Reinking chafes at the assignment—not knowing that it will bring him love from an unexpected quarter and test the law of averages, which holds that all but one of his teammates should come through the conflict unscathed . . .
Adds 21 new essays and drops some that appeared in the 1984 edition (first in 1978) to reflect recent scholarship and changes in orientation by historians. Adds entirely new clusters on sickness and health, early American medicine, therapeutics, the art of medicine, and public health and personal hygiene. Other discussions are updated to reflect such phenomena as the growing mortality from HIV, homicide, and suicide. No index. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
