The Health of Nations : Public Opinion and the Making of American and British Health Policy, by Lawrence Jacobs, PhD

Larry Jacobs is a good friend and poker-playing compatriate -- and one hell of a poli sci professor. For more work by the prolific Dr. Jacobs. Uses extensive primary research on the formulation of the American Medicare Act of 1965 and the British National Health Service Act of 1946 to explain the sources of contemporary health policy in each country. The study represents an alternative way of understanding policy making in liberal democracy, i.e. investigation into the sources for the differences in legislation produced by two broadly similar countries. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.

Hole in the Water
by Robert Kearney
Bob is a copywriter like me. We met at a party at David Mura's apartment about 15 years ago, then met up again last year at Camp du Nord in Ely. This is a suspense novel with little whiffs of Hitchcock and Anatomy of a Murder. It kept me up all night last summer, while the loons outside a-hoo-ha'ed. Good stuff!

DOG BOOKS

The Body Is Water
by Julie Schumacher
Julie is one of my younger old friends. We're both writers, but I don't think twelve words aboput writing have escaped us over the course of our friendship. Which is nice. Julie writes with a terrific economy and discipline and restraint about events so real you feel you are watching them through a picture window. This would even be a great winter read.
ISBN: 0380728400

Andy Ward and I wrote our first novels together in New Haven around 1980-1983. His book, The Demon Seed, was a big Kiplingesque adventure story surrounding the massacre of Cawnpore in 1859. This book, a nonfiction title, revisits the same terrain, but in deadly earnest. Highly recommended!

Rainlight
by Alison McGhee
Alison McGhee teaches writing at Metropolitan State University in Saint Paul, and is a writer with a wonderful way of telling -- funny and keen and emotionally very true. I heard her read from this novel this spring at The Hungry Mind and she was incredible. Loss is a topic every writer tackles, and few writers can do justice to. Alison is one of the few. I found myself nodding throughout her reading -- that's how right it felt.
