Identical twins Dorian and Daniel Sloane grow up inseparable, sharing the same tubes of toothpaste as children and their lives as adults. Loyalty proven many times, they have been saving each other since the day Dorian rescued Daniel from drowning in Opperman's Pond. Now, with Dorian as head of a multinational pharmaceutical company and Daniel as an innovative cardiologist volunteering in Africa, the brothers come together once again. A devastating midair collision on the basketball court during a Celtics/Pacers game sets falling dominoes in motion. After NBA legend Randy Jackson sustains a career-changing ankle injury, Daniel and Dorian partner together to try and heal him. A brilliant chemist has created a miracle arthritis drug that they hope will cure the star and also save Dorian's pharmaceutical company teetering on the verge of bankruptcy. Celebrations ensue when the Pacers' star returns to full glory-and then tragedy suddenly strikes during a casual pickup game, threatening to destroy Daniel's career as he faces a devastating malpractice suit, the possible loss of his medical license, and even a voodoo curse by the athlete's widow. In this high-stakes thriller set in the world of big-money medicine, a chain of unanticipated events culminates in a life-or-death decision two brothers never thought they would have to make.

Notwithstanding the importance of modern technology, fieldwork remains vital, not least through helping to inspire and educate the next generation. Fieldwork has the ingredients of intellectual curiosity, passion, rigour and engagement with the outdoor world - to name just a few. You may be simply noting what you see around you, making detailed records, or carrying out an experiment; all of this and much more amounts to fieldwork. Being curious, you think about the world around you, and through patient observation develop and test ideas. Forty contributors capture the excitement and importance of fieldwork through a wide variety of examples, from urban graffiti to the Great Barrier Reef. Outdoor learning is for life: people have the greatest respect and care for their world when they have first-hand experience of it. The Editors are donating all royalties due to them to the environmental charity, The Field Studies Council, to support student fieldwork at the Council's field centres.

Garrett Willis shares a series of short stories and poems about love and loss in this introspective new collection. As his characters encounter trauma, heartache, and harsh realities, they reveal important truths about the moments that matter in life. In the first of eight short stories, a young man experiences a heartbreaking coming-of-age when he attempts to reach out to the girl of his dreams. She remains a distance away, and the boy tries to connect with her without revealing himself. As he daydreams and reflects on past mistakes, he will have to decide whether to take this chance encounter as a sign from the universe. Another story follows a pair of unlikely traveling companions on a transatlantic flight. As a melancholic author gets to know his older seatmate, a conversation turns into a connection. Each of the two men has something to teach the other about the nature of love. In addition to stories full of these surprising connections and deeper meanings, Willis also includes a collection of poems and short prose pieces that further illustrate his main themes and go beyond personal moments to explore universal truths.
