Don’t Die Ugly: Live Beautifully

Lynn Soles made her career about creating beauty – as an artist, art teacher, tattoo artist and owner of a “permanent beauty” clinic. Then her doctors told her she had cancer. She had to choose: Die soon and ugly from cancer or enter a long course of treatments that might allow her to regain the life she’d known. This remarkable memoir and guidebook, written in the course of her first year of treatment, gives real-life guidance for best supporting others through long-term illnesses and surgeries. Practical tips describe: - how a cancer friend is different from other friends; - things to say (and things never to say!) to your friend in treatment; - essential cancer self-care tips for the habitual Superwoman; - specific ways to ask for and give help to a person exhausted by cancer treatments. You’ll laugh with Lynn as she and her family adjust to the changes treatment causes. You’ll be amazed by her contractor husband’s commitment to support her–even applying her eyelashes to the sounds of crooner Dean Martin. You’ll sense her longing as family holiday traditions, client care schedules, and the most mundane of daily tasks are revised to accommodate her chemotherapy-induced exhaustion. You’ll marvel at the perseverance cancer treatment can teach and learn to respect the times when a patient needs to rest in the “cancer cocoon.” Hollywood stars rely on beauty professionals like Lynn to keep them physically beautiful right to the day their body is viewed in its coffin. Lynn’s cancer journey will inspire you to reconsider whether your hope rests in the beautiful things of this world that will fade away, and to rethink what it means to leave a beautiful, eternal Christian legacy.

Nobility in Small Things: A Surgeon's Path

His routine was the same every day for 38 years: up at 4:15, make a turkey-on-rye, drive the deserted Henry Hudson Parkway to the hospital, check the schedule, scrub, cut, reattach, save a life or two, repeat. Until March 2020, when the Covid-19 pandemic shut hospital surgeries all over the world. Craig Smith, M.D., Chairman of the Department of Surgery at Columbia Presbyterian Hospital, went from performing heart surgeries on patients both everyday and celebrated (he performed the quadruple bypass that saved Bill Clinton’s life in 2004) to sitting in his tomb-quiet office looking out at George Washington Bridge. And he started to write. His Covid emails were balm to the staffers and later became celebrated for Dr. Smith’s care and thought in his assessment of the work of the hospital–of any hospital. Nobility in Small Things not only takes us into the mind and soul of a surgeon with the ability to “play God” but into the heart of a man who chose a lifesaving career. The book introduces us to patients and peers, and moves from family-building and heartbreak at home, to the tragic suicide of two fellow M.D.s. Dr. Smith also writes vulnerably about his debilitating social anxiety and how he overcame it. Dr. Smith shows us not just the making of a surgeon in Nobility in Small Things, but the maintenance of one: the deep feeling and moral philosophy that anchor the daily miracles that define his profession. A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin’s Press.

The Deadly Rise of Anti-science: A Scientist's Warning

During the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, one renowned scientist, in his famous bowtie, appeared daily on major news networks such as MSNBC, NPR, the BBC, and others. Dr. Peter J. Hotez often went without sleep, working around the clock to develop a nonprofit COVID-19 vaccine and to keep the public informed. During that time, he was one of the most trusted voices on the pandemic and was even nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize for his selfless work. He also became one of the main targets of anti-science rhetoric that gained traction through conservative news media. In this eyewitness story of how the anti-vaccine movement grew into a dangerous and prominent anti-science element in American politics, Hotez describes the devastating impacts it has had on Americans’ health and lives. As a scientist who has endured antagonism from anti-vaxxers and been at the forefront of both essential scientific discovery and advocacy, Hotez is uniquely qualified to tell this story. By weaving his personal experiences together with information on how the anti-vaccine movement became a tool of far-right political figures around the world, Hotez opens readers’ eyes to the dangers of anti-science. He explains how anti-science became a major societal and lethal force: in the first years of the pandemic, more than 200,000 unvaccinated Americans needlessly died despite the widespread availability of COVID-19 vaccines. Even as he paints a picture of the world under a shadow of aggressive ignorance, Hotez demonstrates his innate optimism, offering solutions for how to combat science denial and save lives in the process.
