NONFICTION
THE ILLNESS OF MEDICINE
The Illness of Medicine examines how patients and doctors experience the medical-industrial complex. A noted surgeon shares the significant obstacles that patients endure, as well as the frustration that many of the truly dedicated medical professionals feel on a daily basis.
This chronicle reveals the arrogance and overwhelming control that both the insurance industry and the pharmaceutical companies exert upon the healthcare system.
“[A] riveting and terrifying look behind the opaque and confusing state of health in America… a scathing indictment.”
JACK CONATY,
POLITICAL EDITOR, PEABODY & EMMY AWARD WINNER

HOLDING ON AND LETTING GO
Golf is one of the most unique sports in the world. Those who play face a bewildering array of physical and mental challenges over the course of eighteen holes. This engaging and entertaining book is not about playing the game, but rather, Dr. Young and Dr. Perri delve into the psychology of golf and examine how a golfer thinks about the game.
Quite simply, golf uncovers character. Young and Perri’s exploration reveals how the game of golf (and our behavior on the course) often mirrors life. Their probe reveals deeply intriguing aspects about ourselves both on and off the course.
“Holding On and Letting Go is an accurate review of the mental game of golf. As a golf professional, the book highlights many of the subtle aspects of the game that are difficult to teach.”
ANNA CULLINAN
PGA GOLF PROFESSIONAL
“In Holding On and Letting Go, Doctors Young and Perri take a fresh look at the game of golf through the lens of how golf imitates life. This is a MUST READ for golf enthusiasts and all fans of sport.”
