Todi Walking Tours by Bernard Mansheim,Claudio Peri Pdf

This book is a walking-tour guide for English-speaking visitors, through an ancient hill town in central Italy. Todi sits majestically above the Tiber River in the region of Umbria, very near the exact geographic center of Italy in Umbria. This region, known widely as "the green heart of Italy" for its lush fields and majestic hills, lies midway between Florence and Rome. Todi, a prototypical Italian hill town, was founded over 2,500 years ago and has retained its historic beauty by being surrounded by a set of walls that has prevented any new construction and experienced almost no demolition for over 500 years. The guide offers four walking tours that allow the visitor to appreciate historic sites from the Etruscan era, through the Roman centuries, and into the Renaissance. Each walk can be done in a leisurely fashion with almost no distraction from noise or car traffic.

The Making of a Doctor by Bernard Mansheim Pdf

The Making of a Doctor is a novel about a young physician, Dr. Luke James. The story chronicles his year as a medical intern, the most grueling year of any physician's professional training. The book is a prequel to the novel he published in 2017 entitled A Doctor a Day. The first book tells of Dr. James's experience in medical practice, as he suffers unending emotional pressure from caring for dying patients year after year. The current novel weaves Luke's life experiences with his medical training, where he evolves from a new medical school graduate to a seasoned physician during an unforgettable year. Not only does he suffer through the physical exhaustion of his internship, but multiple external factors have an impact that makes the burden even heavier. He learns first-hand how to blend art and science into the practice of medicine, and to learn empathy for his patients without being drowned in a whirlpool of emotion. At the other extreme he needs to learn that cold objectivity is not a solution because it detracts from his ability to understand each patient as an individual. This book is the second in a planned series called Everydoctor.

Still A Doctor by Bernard Mansheim Pdf

The practice of medicine is a complex blend of art and science. Still A Doctor is a novel that chronicles the career of Dr. Luke James, beginning with the most grueling year of any physician's training- the internship. Armed with knowledge and confidence, Luke then embarks on a long and sinuous professional career as a physician. Over the years as he gains experience, Luke finds his path studded with challenges and road blocks that seem at times to be insurmountable. He carries an ever-growing emotional burden of caring for patients year after year, always searching for how to be the best doctor he can. The reader will gain insight into the practice of medicine through the thoughts, feelings and observations of Dr. James as he confronts death and dying, ethical dilemmas, medical malpractice, and the importance of empathy. Book Review: The author does a superb job of describing the inner psychological life of the protagonist, Dr. Luke James, using a deep point of view very adeptly to characterize him, his thoughts, and his state of mind. It is an honest and insightful portrayal of a medical practitioner's daily struggles with the inevitability of death...poignant, exceptionally daunting, and valiant. -- Chanticleer Reviews (1st Place winner of Somerset Awards)

Rome by John Varriano Pdf

Rome, the Eternal City: it is here, perhaps more than anywhere, that the visitor is conscious of time and timelessness. Echoes of antiquity haunt the busy streets, and the interweaving of past and present has, sirn-like, drawn artists, writers, historians and poets since time immemorial. Arranged in a series of ten walks, the book focuses on the varying responses authors of eleven different nationalities have had to Rome over the course of the past 2000 years. Their words- whether panegyrics of praise or exclamations of indignant outrage, whether amazement, adulation or awe- complement those of Rome's own citizens to portray a city that remains as vibrant and sensual as ever. Henry James and Henrik Ibsen, Stendhal and Goethe, Virginia Woolf and Oscar Wilde are only a few of those who have written with passion about Rome, and through their words we rediscover the grandeur of the vistas, the intimacy of its streets and markets, and the fascination of its monuments
