Doctor Sleep
Part #2 of "The Shining" series by Stephen King
Horror / Mystery / Literature & Fiction
Stephen King returns to the characters and territory of one of his most popular novels ever, The Shining, in this instantly riveting novel about the now middle-aged Dan Torrance (the boy protagonist of The Shining) and the very special 12-year-old girl he must save from a tribe of murderous paranormals.
On highways across America, a tribe of people called The True Knot travel in search of sustenance. They look harmless - mostly old, lots of polyester, and married to their RVs. But as Dan Torrance knows, and spunky 12-year-old Abra Stone learns, The True Knot are quasi-immortal, living off the "steam" that children with the "shining" produce when they are slowly tortured to death.
Haunted by the inhabitants of the Overlook Hotel where he spent one horrific childhood year, Dan has been drifting for decades, desperate to shed his father's legacy of despair, alcoholism, and violence. Finally, he settles in a New Hampshire town, an AA community that sustains him, and a job at a nursing home where his remnant "shining" power provides the crucial final comfort to the dying. Aided by a prescient cat, he becomes "Doctor Sleep."
Then Dan meets the evanescent Abra Stone, and it is her spectacular gift, the brightest shining ever seen, that reignites Dan's own demons and summons him to a battle for Abra's soul and survival. This is an epic war between good and evil, a gory, glorious story that will thrill the millions of hyper-devoted fans of The Shining and wildly satisfy anyone new to the territory of this icon in the King canon.

Ну разумеется, это все та же бесстрашная троица: один тощий, высокий и почти безумный профессор, одна замечательная девочка с кларнетом и один крохотный мальчик с огненно-рыжими волосами.
Но почему из всех людей на свете именно доктору Проктору, Булле и Лисе поручено сделать это? Да потому, что совсем недавно они уже спасли мир от неминуемого конца, вступив в схватку с лунными хамелеонами. А на этот раз все обстоит гораздо хуже. Намного хуже. Настолько хуже, что тебе, скорее всего, уже никогда, никогда не захочется съесть ни кусочка сыра пармезан! Ты спросишь: а какая тут связь с финалом Кубка Англии по футболу?

The Good Doctor
Kenneth Brigham
What makes a good doctor? It's not what you think. A doctor willing to face their own uncertainty in the face of illness and treatment might just be the best medicine.Too often we choose the wrong doctor for the wrong reasons. It doesn't have to be that way. In The Good Doctor, Ken Brigham, MD, and Michael M.E. Johns, MD, argue that we need to change the way we think about health care if we want to be the healthiest we can be. Counterintuitive as it may seem, uncertainty is integral to medicine, and you want a doctor who knows that: someone who sees you as the unique case you are, someone who knows that data isn't everything, someone who is able to change her mind as the information changes. For too long we've clung to the myth of the infallible doctor—one who assuredly tells us this is what's wrong and here is how I will cure you—and our health has suffered for it. Brigham and Johns propose a new model of medicine, one that is comfortable with...

The Island of Doctor Moreau
H. G. Wells
The creatures I had seen were not men, had never been men. They were animals, humanised animals...' A shipwrecked Edward Prendick finds himself stranded on a remote Noble island, the guest of a notorious scientist, Doctor Moreau.

Darryl Jones's introduction places the book in both its scientific and literary context; with the Origin of Species and Gulliver's Travels,...
