While out on a walk, Eleanor Trewynn, her niece Megan, and her neighbor Nick spot a young, half-drowned Indian man floating in the water. Delirious and concussed, he utters a cryptic message about his family being trapped in a cave and his mother dying. The young man, unconscious and unable to help, is whisked away to a hospital while a desperate effort is mounted to find the missing family in time.

Really Enjoyed This
Revisado: 06-19-21
The author has written an enormous number of mysteries and I am on track to have read/listened to all of them. This is set in the early sixties in Cornwall, England in the UK. I t follows the adventures of an older woman, her dog, her niece a Police Sargent and colorful village characters. This is a mystery related to the shipping industry, Indian refugees from Africa, (you may need to brush up on colonial history to understand), and a man deranged by drink and a gambling addiction. The world building is great - you feel like you’ve gone back in time and over to Cornwall. This has a thoughtful look at issues society was grappling with namely, racism and sexism and was also entertaining.

David W. Barber has delighted fans around the world with Accidentals on Purpose, When the Fat Lady Sings, and other internationally best-selling books of musical humor. His best-selling Bach, Beethoven and the Boys chronicles the lives of the great (and not-so-great) composers, exploring their sex lives, exposing their foibles, and expanding on our understanding of these all-too-human creatures.

The Most Fun You’ll Have Learning Something
Revisado: 04-11-20
A delightfully irreverent take on classical music 🎶 it is quite funny and definitely a great way to spend time. The narrator is a perfect fit for the material.

An Enjoyable and Informative Review of The Animal World
Revisado: 11-15-19
The presentation of material was easy to understand, particularly if you’re an avid amateur naturalist like me. The accompanying pdf contains nearly all the material covered in the class and is a good resource to have in its own right. The professor had an enjoyable presentation style and imparted his obvious love of animals into the presentation. I highly recommend this to all who find the natural world fascinating.

Epidemiologist Steffanie Strathdee and her husband, psychologist Tom Patterson, were vacationing in Egypt when Tom came down with a stomach bug. What at first seemed like a case of food poisoning quickly turned critical, and by the time Tom had been transferred via emergency medevac to the world-class medical center at UC San Diego, where both he and Steffanie worked, blood work revealed why modern medicine was failing: Tom was fighting one of the most dangerous, antibiotic-resistant bacteria in the world.

A Harrowing Story With A Near Miraculous Ending Thanks To Phage Therapy
Revisado: 09-23-19
I really am invested in stories about infectious diseases, in part, because I worked in an Infectious Disease Bureau of a state Department of Health. The fact that the subjects and authors of this book worked in HIV/AIDS also mirrors my experience. This book tells the story of an infection with a multi-drug resistant bacteria. It begins in Egypt, continues in Germany and eventually ends up in San Diego. It chronicles the frantic attempts to clear the infected patient of his infection and the determination of his wife, the author of much of the book, who reads about treatment of multi-drug resistant bacteria with bacteriophages, viruses that attract specific bacteria and evolve quickly to combat the evolution of the bacteria’s defenses. Finding just the right bacteriophage isn’t easy, nor is it pleasant, (read to find out why), but the right cocktail of these super predators can bring someone back from death’s door. This is a book that should be listened to/ read by anyone who is concerned about drug resistance and the future that may be brighter thanks to phage therapy.
