Marion and Shiva Stone are twin brothers born of a secret union between a beautiful Indian nun and a brash British surgeon. Orphaned by their mother’s death and their father’s disappearance and bound together by a preternatural connection and a shared fascination with medicine, the twins come of age as Ethiopia hovers on the brink of revolution. Moving from Addis Ababa to New York City and back again, Cutting for Stone is an unforgettable story of love and betrayal, medicine and ordinary miracles—and two brothers whose fates are forever intertwined.
Becoming a doctor is hard. Becoming a surgeon, even harder. Becoming a neurosurgeon as an Indian woman who wants to have a healthy work-home life balance and kids? Almost impossible. But not for Dr. Sheri Dewan. Always interested in science growing up, it wasn't until neurosurgery saved her mother's life from a ruptured brain aneurysm that Dr. Dewan started on the path toward becoming one of about two hundred female neurosurgeons in the United States. The trials, tribulations, and wrath of not only her unsupportive male colleagues, but some female as well, helped to shape Dr. Dewan into the confident neurosurgeon and woman she is today. Cutting a Path: The Power of Purpose, Discipline, and Determination is the inspiring, eye-opening memoir of how Dr. Dewan overcame numerous personal and professional obstacles to reach her dream. Braided with advice that is applicable to anyone facing adversity achieving their career goals, her story will make you ask yourself, "When the world tests you, do you have what it takes to shut out the noise, check in with yourself, and follow your passion?"

Fly Cutting Technology for Ultra-precision Machining by Suet To,Sujuan Wang Pdf
This handbook covers the fly cutting technique, an ultra-precision mechanical machining technology which is regarded as the fastest and most reliable low-cost machining method to generate high quality complex surfaces. The ultra-precision raster milling provides more flexibility and suitability for freeform and structural surfaces with a uniform quality with sub-micrometric form error and nanometric surface roughness. These surfaces are widely applied into optics, medicine, biotechnology, electronics, and communications. The fundamental and latest advancing knowledge of fly-cutting technology is important for the future development and applications in ultra-precision mechanical machining technology. This book provides a good reference for fly-cutting technology in ultra-precision machining for undergraduate and postgraduate students, researchers, engineers, and postdoctoral fellow in advanced manufacturing area. It gives the audience an overview of the working principles, process mechanism, salient features, applications, and research directions of ultra-precision fly-cutting technology.
"Examines the Wilderness Trail (i.e., the Cumberland Gap) by discussing how and why it came to be and the immediate and lasting effects it had on the nation and the people who traveled it"--
The famed movie-car builder explains how to use a plasma cutter for custom metal fabrication. Includes basic, advanced, and CNC cutting procedures as well as how to draft and design components for racing and custom-car building. It discusses safety procedures, troubleshooting, and professional tips, and includes examples from Eddie Paul's world- famous custom shop.
CO2 Laser Cutting explains and describes how engineering materials are cut using a CO2 laser. Information is given on the cutting of metals and non metals on a wide range of levels from practical advice and processing parameters to explanations of the physical and chemical reactions which take place in the cut zone. In an effort to make the book as readable and informative as possible the subject is treated in a descriptive rather than a mathematical way. The benefit of CO2 Laser Cutting is twofold as it gives practical advice to the operator and technical advice to the researchers or scientist.
