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.

Guide to Understanding Americans

American culture, which are easy to misunderstand. Check her website to get her
Culture Chronicles newsletter.
