When Tony Hillerman looks back at seventy-six years spent getting from hard-times farm boy to bestselling author, he sees lots of evidence that Providence was poking him along. For example, when an absent-minded Army clerk left him off the hospital ship taking the wounded home from France in World War II, the mishap put him on a collision course with a curing ceremony held for two Navajo Marines, thereby providing the grist for a writing career that now sees his books published in sixteen languages around the world and often on bestseller lists.

In this wry and whimsical memoir, Hillerman offers frequent backward glances at where he found ideas for the plots of his books and the characters that inhabit them. We get a good-natured trip through hard times in college, an infantry career in which he "rose twice to Private First Class" and also won a Silver Star, Bronze Star, and Purple Heart and, afterward, work as truck driver, chain dragger, journalist, professor, and "doer of undignified deeds" for two university presidents. All this is colored by his love affair (now in its fifty-fourth year) with Marie, which involved raising six children, most of them adopted.

Many of the people who supported Bill Clinton in 1992 expected better of him. Perhaps it was candidate Bill Clinton's lofty orations, but many saw in Clinton a 1990s version of John F. Kennedy and a return to that time. Richard Reeves, journalist and author of books on Presidents Kennedy, Ford, Carter, and Reagan, is in that camp, and "disappointment" seems to be the best word for its view of Clinton. Reeves, whose wide-angle book doesn't fall into the same trap as a recent spate of books that offer instant analysis in the guise of history, explains how his disappointment has resulted from Clinton's inability to inspire..

Healthcare in the U.S. is changing. Tens of millions of North Americans use alternative healthcare each year. But the "alternative" infrastructure and the way healthcare is delivered in the U.S. isn_t alternative at all. It uses new modalities with the same old infrastructure and methods: top-down, and doctor-expert to passive patient.

Keenly aware of this dilemma, Tel Franklin, M.D., developed a revolutionary "patient-centered" approach to personal health that utilizes a process called Appreciative Dialogue to transform a person_s relationship with his own health. Appreciative Dialogue empowers patients to envision optimal health and then to coordinate treatment and healthcare options with physicians and other health practitioners in a clearly understood, integrated way.

Expect a Miracle_You Won_t Be Disappointed! helps to shift thinking from the traditional disease/diagnosis/treatment model to a more positive, generative, and proactive optimal health paradigm. The workbook leads the reader through inventorying and recording the varied elements that contribute to a personal experience of health.

_ Chinese Medicine/Acupuncture

_ Ayurveda

_ Chiropractic

_ Exercise

_ Herbs/Botanicals

_ Hypnosis

_ Massage

_ Naturopathy

_ Yoga

The reader is led easily and logically to devising an optimal health plan that comprises appropriate treatments and remedies. Illuminating anecdotes and an attractive layout make this a unique workbook that anyone desiring more control over their own health will much appreciate.
