Harvey Bigelsen M.D. is the first medical doctor in history to practice Isopathy or Biological Medicine in North America. He is a trained MD for 45 years with more than 30 years of experience in alternative medicine. As the first president of the Arizona Homeopathic Medical Board, he drafted the guidelines and standards for the practice of 'Holistic' Medicine in Arizona that set the precedent in the United States. He helped to author the law that made Arizona Homeopathy what it is today. For nearly 10 years he served as director of the Institute de Medicina Biologica in Tijuana, Mexico. In 1981 he co-wrote the Arizona Homeopathic Medical Practice Act and was appointed by then-governor Bruce Babbitt as the first president of the Arizona Homeopathic Board. While serving this appointment, he drafted standards for homeopathic practice and education in Arizona, the first such standards in the United States. Dr. Bigelsen started his medical practice in surgical ophthalmology and worked as a surgeon during the Vietnam War. In this new book, “Doctors are More Harmful Than Germs” you will learn about: the role surgery plays in causing disease, how inflammation both helps and hinders the healing process, and why you are sick and what you can do about it. www.drbigelsen.com

Jonathan Balcombe has written many scientific papers and lay-articles on animal behavior, humane education, and animal research . A popular speaker, he has given invited presentations on six continents. In 2000, the Humane Society Press released his book The Use of Animals in Higher Education: Problems, Alternatives and Recommendations. His second book, Pleasurable Kingdom: Animals and the Nature of Feeling Good was released in May 2006. His third book, Second Nature: The Inner Lives of Animals, is being hailed as his best work to date. For centuries we believed that humans were the only ones that mattered. The idea that animals had feelings was either dismissed or considered heresy. Today, that's all changing. New scientific studies of animal behavior reveal perceptions, intelligences, awareness and social skills that would have been deemed fantasy a generation ago. The implications make our troubled relationship to animals one of the most pressing moral issues of our time. www.jonathanbalcombe.com
Anna Mitchael began her writing career by instructing patrons of her lemonade stand to buy some “or else.” She made her living for nearly a decade by continuing to threaten people—this time as an advertising copywriter. Anna Mitchael is like a lot of twenty-something women with full lives. In her fast-moving world, she might be called on as a friend, coworker, daughter, girlfriend, confidante, brat, cynic, or domestic-goddess-in-training. But there’s one label she’s simply not ready to embrace: ma’am. Like so many bright-eyed college graduates before her, Mitchael begins her twenties armed with the conviction that the world is hers for the taking. And she discovers that it is, mostly—only no one told her just how often she’d have to pick herself up off the floor along the way. From moving to new cities to domestic disasters to the occasional nervous breakdown, Mitchael guides readers through the various stages of her self-discovery with disarming humor and—like the best of friends—unmitigated honesty. Written for every woman who’s experienced the ups and downs of trying to figure out who you’re really meant to be, Just Don’t Call Me Ma’am is a story of one woman and the choices that add up to be her twenty-something life—and of how sometimes you have to remember where you came from before you can figure out where you’re going. Mitchael is a reformed nomad who recently returned home to Texas; she’ll tolerate "y’all," but reserves the right to raise hell when anyone calls her "ma’am.” You can read the daily chronicles of her life (with a side of extra-spicy jalapeños, please) at www.annamitchael.com
In May 2005, David Treadway a successful psychologist, husband, and father of two sons, was diagnosed with stage 4, non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma and given a 25% chance of survival. David struggled with his journey from healer to patient, as he oriented himself following the abrupt transition from objective therapist to cancer support group member. But his life wasn’t the only one that changed in that instant. Kate, a physician practicing in the hospital where David was treated, faced her conflicting roles of wife, mother, and doctor. Twenty-eight-year-old Michael moved home to help take care of his father. Sam, then a junior in college, fought to balance college life with the family crisis playing out at home. David survived and now, in Home Before Dark, readers are granted—via beautifully-crafted alternating chapters by all four Treadways, a candid snapshot of one family dealing in the aftermath of the diagnosis of a terminal illness. From muddling through initial shock to translating the medical language of chemotherapy cocktails to managing the lingering ghost of fear even after David’s 2006 remission, the Treadways avoid platitudes and easy answers in favor of raw honesty. Moving, heartbreaking, morbidly wry and ultimately uplifting, Home Before Dark captures the everyday struggles of living with and loving someone fighting for his life.
