Bandits, Stalkers, & Murder: Life of the Tetched Phoebe Wise
Brett Mitchell
She lived alone on the heights that overlooked the city. Her neighbors called her 'tetched'. She was tortured by bandits seeking a hidden treasure buried in the walls of her home. She killed a mad man with a Winchester .32 whose love lust turned into a fanatic infatuation. She wore wide brimmed hats decorated with fresh flowers, a long yellow taffeta with a trailing train, and lacey gloves revealing her worthless gems all the while shaking her fist and lashing out at those who dared to glance her way. She conversed with only those she thought worthy and talked to dogs and her guard horse as though they were her friends. Though she was made famous by Pulitzer-Prize winning novelist and distant relative, Louis Bromfield it was simply the life she led that would ultimately create a legend of Phoebe Wise. Her life seemed surreal and her stories are what fiction is made of. Yet, her life was anything but fiction.
Often used in conjunction with surgery or chemotherapy, radiation treatments, a.k.a. radiotherapy, can be a frightening experience for many cancer patients, but Kornmehl (Attending Radiation Oncologist at The Valley Hospital , Ridgewood, NJ) has written a clear and concise guide that will reassure anxious readers. Covering all forms of radiotherapy, from the commonly used external beam therapy to brachytherapy, which uses radioactive implants to deliver therapy directly to the affected organ, the author explains what these treatments involve and how they work to destroy cancerous cells. Photographs of the equipment are accompanied by clear explanations of how they are used. To add a personal touch to the text, Kornmehl includes vignettes of patients undergoing radiation therapy. She also addresses side effects in an FAQ chapter. A concise glossary and a list of resources complete her book. While many guides on cancer discuss radiation therapy, none provides the kind of detail offered here. Highly recommended for most consumer health collections.

The photographs of radiological equipment, glossary, and resource list help make this volume one of a kind.
