	White Coat Wisdom by Steve Busalacchi www.whitecoatwisdom.com Mr. Busalacchi is a veteran medical journalist who reported for Wisconsin Public Radio for 15 years. His close relationships with physicians led to extensive interviews with many doctors about how they got into the profession, what medical school is like, how they think about their work, and how they do it. The advice they offer is as pertinent to prospective medical students and as it is to patients. This should be required reading for anyone considering a career in medicine, and for everyone with an interest in how their doctors work, think, and advise. Highly recommended.
	No Perfect People, Please by Dianne Asitimbay; www.culturelinkpress.com As if to prove that no author should be type-cast, after writing What’s Up, America? Diane Asitimbay has followed it up with a very funny children’s book, No Perfect People, Please, with poems (and illustrations) about 26 imperfect, but perfectly normal and human kids—one for each letter of the alphabet. Every kid in school will recognize these types, as will every adult who’s been to school—and it should serve to remind us all that none of us are perfect. Highly recommended.
	*What's Up America? A Foreigner's Guide to Understanding Americans* by Dianne Asitimbay; www.culturelinkpress.com Diane's book is aimed at foreign students and business people, but would be a good addition to civics classes everywhere, in that it explains regional differences in American culture, which are easy to misunderstand. Check her website to get her Culture Chronicles newsletter. Diane was on Fox and Friends in early January, 2006.
