3. The Emperor of All Maladies: A Biography of Cancer
Feature
Scribner Book CompanyDescription
Winner of the Pulitzer Prize, and now a documentary from Ken Burns on PBS, The Emperor of All Maladies is a magnificent, profoundly humane biography of cancerfrom its first documented appearances thousands of years ago through the epic battles in the twentieth century to cure, control, and conquer it to a radical new understanding of its essence.Physician, researcher, and award-winning science writer, Siddhartha Mukherjee examines cancer with a cellular biologists precision, a historians perspective, and a biographers passion. The result is an astonishingly lucid and eloquent chronicle of a disease humans have lived withand perished fromfor more than five thousand years.
The story of cancer is a story of human ingenuity, resilience, and perseverance, but also of hubris, paternalism, and misperception. Mukherjee recounts centuries of discoveries, setbacks, victories, and deaths, told through the eyes of his predecessors and peers, training their wits against an infinitely resourceful adversary that, just three decades ago, was thought to be easily vanquished in an all-out war against cancer. The book reads like a literary thriller with cancer as the protagonist.
From the Persian Queen Atossa, whose Greek slave may have cut off her diseased breast, to the nineteenth-century recipients of primitive radiation and chemotherapy to Mukherjees own leukemia patient, Carla, The Emperor of All Maladies is about the people who have soldiered through fiercely demanding regimens in order to surviveand to increase our understanding of this iconic disease.
Riveting, urgent, and surprising, The Emperor of All Maladies provides a fascinating glimpse into the future of cancer treatments. It is an illuminating book that provides hope and clarity to those seeking to demystify cancer.
4. Portraits of Resilience (The MIT Press)
Description
Photographs and stories of people who have coped with and overcome depression, anxiety, trauma, and other challenges.
"In MIT professor Daniel Jackson's recent book, Portraits of Resilience, being resilient means beingvulnerable. It a gives a glimpse into how students at the Massachusetts Institute of Technologyone ofthe most competitive and elite universities in the worldcope, overcome, and find meaning in theirlives."
The Boston Globe
More than 15 million Americans grapple with depression in a given year, and 40 million are affected by anxiety disorders. And yet these people are often invisible, hidden, unacknowledged. At once a photo essay and a compendium of life stories, Portraits of Resilience brings us face to face with twenty-two extraordinary individuals, celebrating the wisdom they have gained on the frontline of a contemporary battle.
We hear from a young man who was struck with a debilitating sadness just when his life seemed to have turned around, and a medical student whose self-image was transformed by an antidepressant. We meet a physicist whose troubles led him to reassess the role human connection played in his life, an overachiever who developed one of her closest friendships in a mental hospital, and administrative assistant who grew up with an abusive parent but learned to heal and create a new life for herself.
No one is immune to depression or anxiety; all of these narrators achieved success as students, faculty, or staff in the demanding world of MIT. The pressures of a competitive and high-pressure environment will be familiar to many. And the mysterious and overwhelming grip of depression will be recognized by those who have suffered from it. But the search for purpose and meaning that pervades these stories is relevant to everyone. These wise people give us not only solace and reassurance as we face our own challenges, but also the inspiration that challenges can be overcomeand that happiness, while elusive, can eventually be found.

DVD Features: Interactive Menus; Scene Selection6. Tsunami: Images of Resilience
Description
A profoundly moving look into the unseen moments of survival, strength, and resilience among the survivors of the massive 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, this collection of rare photojournalistic images stands as testament to the extraordinary human capacity to survive the most devastating of natural disasters.
The Indian Ocean tsunami of December 26, 2004, which devastated the shores of 11 countries and took the lives of over a quarter of a million people, burned through the world s consciousness for months afterwards. Just as the wave shattered everything in its path, so the stories of those who encountered it forever changed, torn apart and unraveled. The sea forced them not only to rebuild their lives, but to rewrite their stories.
And so they did. They rebuilt and they rewrote.
Photographer Dan Root, whose client roster includes Nike, adidas, Manchester United and the Oregon Food Bank, was on the ground in India and Thailand three months after the tsunami, capturing the stories of survival and resilience taking place all around him. What impressed him most, he will tell you, was neither the scale of the destruction nor the colossal amounts of aid pouring in, but the indomitable spirit of the people in these regions.
Conceived by author and entrepreneur Birgitte Rasine and sponsored by international non profit ICLEI, the original Tsunami: stories of resilience documentary project has now turned into a gorgeous hardcover photography book of images. Stories told in images, because no words in any language can fully express the power and drama of the hundreds of thousands of lives so profoundly changed by the very ocean that once gave us all life.
