A masterpiece. Hurst (The heart, 6th ed. McGraw--a primary selection in Brandon-Hill) has included contributions to his classic text and has brought in Anderson, Wilcox, and Becker to provide illustrations. Begins, briefly, with normal anatomy (20 p.), then follows the course charted in The heart: congenital and valvar heart disease, myocardial and coronary heart disease, lung and pulmonary, endocarditis, trauma, and surgery for arrhythmias. The work ends with attention to other conditions: hypertension, neoplasia, collagen vascular disease, athletes' heart, aging, obesity, and alcohol. Illustrations are largely gross anatomical photos in color (and of a quality we associate with the copublisher, Gower). Other illustrations are images by various modalities and good drawings (none of these are up to the artistry of Springer V's Comprehensive manuals of surgical specialities). Every serious collection in cardiology will have this admirable reference. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

Some people collect stamps. Other people collect coins. Carol Otis Hurst's father collected rocks. Nobody ever thought his obsession would amount to anything. They said, "You've got rocks in your head" and "There's no money in rocks." But year after year he kept on collecting, trading, displaying, and labeling his rocks. The Depression forced the family to sell their gas station and their house, but his interest in rocks never wavered. And in the end the science museum he had visited so often realized that a person with rocks in his head was just what was needed. Anyone who has ever felt a little out of step with the world will identify with this true story of a man who followed his heart and his passion.

The first in a scintillating series by the New York Times bestselling author Karen Hawkins follows a desperate beauty on an urgent quest, a dark earl scarred by his beastly past—and the ancient treasure that binds their fates. Someone is holding her brother prisoner in exchange for a gold-and-onyx box covered in mysterious runes, so Mary Hurst boldly sets out from the family vicarage to find the priceless artifact. But the man who possesses it, Angus Hay, the Earl of Erroll, is less than sympathetic to her plight. Himself a prisoner of his dark past, Angus refuses to yield the box—or allow Mary to leave. Suspicious of the alluring lass’s mission, he vows to wrest a confession from her, but unearths a fiery temper and a will as strong as his own. Passion flares between them, but now there is more at stake: an unknown enemy is hunting down the precious box and will stop at nothing. Risking all for love, Angus must solve the mystery behind the runes…and trust the only woman who can awaken his forgotten heart.
