"Like Dr. Winn, the mountains have always beckoned me and been my home. My parents Edgar and Polly Stern, visionary innovators in the ski and hotel industries, had a deep commitment to excellence and a philosophy of unstinting service to our community. Both were fortunate to be among the many friends that received Dr. Winn&#8217;s original late night letters. My mother fervently believed that their story &#147;of despair, of love, and ultimately of survival&#8221; was an important one that needed to be saved for posterity. Simply, she was passionate that the Winn&#8217;s love story needed to be told and shared like a gift.  I agree with her unconditionally and wholeheartedly."

"The opportunity to defeat blood cancers such as leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin&#8217;s disease and myeloma has never been greater. Over the past 67 years, LLS has invested more than $1 billion in blood cancer research.  Meaningful treatment advances are being made every day and the research pipeline of exciting new therapies continues to grow. Our goal, to save the lives of blood cancer patients not someday, but today, is within reach. Night Reflections is a wonderful and moving true story of one family&#8217;s journey of survival that inspires us all to achieve that goal."

As a non-Hodgkin&#8217;s Lymphoma survivor who underwent six rounds of chemotherapy and five weeks of daily radiation therapy, I am all too familiar with the devastating impact of a blood cancer. I know that during the darkest of times people need encouragement and inspiration &#150; and I believe that Night Reflections does both astonishingly well. Dr. Winn&#8217;s story is remarkable in its telling. It is truly an uplifting and moving story of friendship, love and survival.

"Illness has an insidious way of stripping one of their dignity. Importantly, Night Reflections serves as an invaluable guide for any individual or family who have loved ones going through a life-threatening crisis or chronic illness. Dr. Winn stirringly and poignantly shares the intimate and terrifying roller-coaster ride of highs and lows. In the process, his beloved wife Nancy&#8217;s illness strips him to his very core in such a way that is both ennobling and empowering. Ultimately, instead of being diminished by the experience, all are strengthened."

Chasing Daylight: How My Forthcoming Death Transformed My Life

&#147;Cancer may invade one person&#8217;s body, but it attacks the entire family. I know this from&#160;personal experience as a survivor of non-Hodgkin&#8217;s lymphoma, who relied on faith, hope, and the love of family and friends to battle this unrelenting opponent.&#160;Dr. Winn&#8217;s incredibly moving story of love, friendship, and survival is absolutely stunning, candid, and uplifting.&#160;Night Reflections is powerful beyond words.&#8221;

&#147;Dr. Winn&#8217;s story is remarkably open, unguarded and intimate. I believe that almost any physician, staff member, patient, patient family member or friend willcome away with new insights and understanding after reading this moving memoir.&#8221;

Night Reflections

Fathom Bible Studies: The Leaders of the Church Leader Guide (Gospels, Acts, and the New Testament Letters)

&ldquo;A hilariously heartwarming magical adventure . . . Clementine [is] a remarkably three-dimensional character. Her imperfections, many failures and constant letdowns make her likable and relatable. Her ridiculous antics&hellip;will charm and delight young readers . . . The Dark Lord Clementine is infused with humor and adventure, but the foundation of the story&mdash;friendship, loyalty and compassion&mdash;never wavers. Clementine is a worthy heroine. At the start of the novel, she lives a lonely, sequestered life with her father, but as the story progresses, her world opens into a unique and beautifully absurd wonderland. This clever, inventive novel knows the value of a good-versus-evil story that is served fresh, yet familiar.&rdquo; &mdash;The New York Times Book Review "Chock-full of the cheerfully macabre . . . This quirky novel stands out from the crowd in its hilarity and its compelling premise; give it to readers who like villains who aren&rsquo;t, really." &mdash;The Bulletin of the Center for Children&rsquo;s Books "Horwitz has created a perfect blend of wit and heart in this fresh fantasy adventure . . . Highly recommended, this title will keep a wide variety of readers entertained with its compelling characters and witty twists on the fairy-tale universe." &mdash;School Library Journal "Horwitz primes readers to expect the unexpected&mdash;and delivers. . . .Horwitz&rsquo;s ingenuity for bizarre enchantment and characterization proves boundless . . . In a wry, satisfying ending, Clementine hints at future enchantments ahead.&rdquo; &mdash;Publishers Weekly &ldquo;A spell-binding tale of dark lords and unicorns.&rdquo;&mdash;The Newark Star-Ledger &#160; &ldquo;The castle is full of sorcery and cleverly devised magical objects, and the legends about the mountains surrounding it give Horwitz&rsquo;s imagined world a unique history. The story has plenty of heart and charm. Themes of trust, forgiveness, and belonging deepen this enjoyable fantasy.&rdquo;&mdash;The Horn Book &ldquo;The descriptions of magical beings are fittingly awe-inspiring&#160; . . . This inventive fantasy twists conventions while involving readers through good storytelling laced with irony and wit." &mdash;Booklist &ldquo;After luring readers in with wordplay and tongue-in-cheek, genre-savvy humor, the plot takes an emotionally rich thematic turn, dwelling on community and forgiveness&mdash;all the while building toward a mythical, mystical arc involving the unicorn. The few action sequences are mined for utmost impact, as are the slice-of-life scenes and flashback vignettes . . . Absolutely delightful.&rdquo; &mdash;Kirkus Reviews

"In this ambitious undertaking, Bliss expertly navigates [the themes discussed] in her seven chapters . . . I assigned the book as one of two main texts for the upper-division '(Con)Sequential Genealogies of Difference: Anthropology and Genomics' course I taught at U.C. Berkeley in Spring 2013. Bliss' work provided an excellent teaching opportunity to explore the gaffed edges between STS and anthropology, as well as between historiography and enthnography. In that respect, the book served to stimulate lively classroom debate about the epistemic and methodological orientations shaping different disciplinary narratives of the technoscientific field."

"… unravels intricacies of the subject in a simple and systematic manner. … one of few books which cover a difficult subject through inquisition and using programmed concept for learning. The authors have spent considerable time in formulating the structure of the book and its contents. I think they have been successful in their attempt. There have been several books on electromagnetic fields, each one having its own flavor. However, the present book is a different attempt to teach the concept of electromagnetic field theory (EMFT), and its application to the theory and design of electrical machines. The contributions of the authors of this book in various research and scientific areas are outstanding. They are academicians who have devoted themselves to the task of educating young minds and inculcating scientific temper amongst them. I must heartily congratulate the authors for the magnificent job they have done."— Brig. (Dr.) Surjit Pabla, Vice Chancellor, Mangalayatan University, Aligarh, India"The authors of this book set out to achieve the goal of presenting electromagnetics for electrical machines in a simple and systematic manner. I think they achieve that goal. They reduce Maxwell’s equations to Laplace’s equation, Poisson’s equation, wave equation, and eddy current equation and apply them to electrical machines."— Matthew Sadiku, Prairie View A&M University"I particularly value the approach taken of developing accurate theoretical electromagnetic models for several electrical machine structures. Traditional approaches of using lumped element models for machine parts, and then trying to modify the resulting equivalent network by taking into account the effect of these elements having non-zero physical size in a piece-meal fashion do not develop the user’s basic comprehensive insight into all aspects of the electromagnetic fields which can have some effect on machine behavior."— Philip H. Alexander, Electrical and Computer

Paretsky has been putting her private investigator through her paces since 1982, changing perceptions of women in crime fiction through the creation of a fiercely independent female detective. She keeps her brand of politicised noir fresh by responding to issues - social, cultural and political as well as gender - in contemporary life . . . Paretsky is firing on all cylinders
