Discover how storytelling and narrative unite us with the medical field in, “Story Treasures: Medical Essays and Insights in the Narrative Tradition,” by Arthur Lazarus, MD, MBA. The book is divided into two sections: Section 1: Essays Section 2: Insights Fifty narratives offer constructive viewpoints and insights that capture the resilience of the human spirit, the intricacies of the human body, and the profound impact of empathy and compassion in caring for patients. Each story is a pearl, offering a glimpse into the challenges, triumphs, and moments of introspection that define the medical profession and life as a whole. These stories are not merely anecdotes from the author’s career; they are reflections on life, the essence of being, and the universal quest for meaning in times of uncertainty. Through these narratives, Dr. Lazarus uncovers not only the intellectual and technical aspects of medical practice but also the emotional and philosophical dimensions that often remain hidden from public view—for example, career turmoil; generational conflict; artificial intelligence; and ethical and leadership challenges, to name a few. He extends an invitation to readers to pause, reflect, and appreciate the intricate dance between health and illness, life and death, joy and sorrow. Readers will find within these pages not only a deeper understanding of the medical world but also a renewed appreciation for the resilience and beauty of the human spirit. Join Dr. Lazarus in this journey, where each essay is a treasure, and each insight a gem. Collectively, his stories reaffirm the preciousness of life and the enduring strength of the human heart.

The Pixar Treasures is a scrapbook of instinct and inspiration, experiences readers can touch, and visions that exist only in the imagination. It begins with a group of animators who were inspired by Walt Disney films. In the late 1970s and early '80s, John Lasseter, Brad Bird, and Joe Ranft were hired into an apprenticeship program at Walt Disney Productions. The last of Disney’s golden age artists, including animators Eric Larson, Milt Kahl, Frank Thomas, and Ollie Johnston mentored the young dreamers, and as Pixar later developed, their work would draw heavily from this direct connection with Walt Disney’s “Nine Old Men.” The tale continues with Pixar's foray into computer animation, and the resulting success of Toy Story. With chapters on A Bug's Life; Monsters, Inc.; Finding Nemo; The Incredibles; Cars; Ratatouille; and WALL*E, Hauser's narrative covers the struggles, growth, and successes of an incredible animation studio. And it gives readers a sneak peak at the newest Disney*Pixar film, Up. Filled with unique removable keepsakes, The Pixar Treasures is an essential collector’s item for every Pixar fan.

Then… Once upon a time, in a small village in southern France, a pretty, willful English girl is falling in love. Frances Langley has fallen under Benoit’s romantic spell, so sure is she that he is everything she’s ever wanted—a self-assured, sexy man, experienced and just a little bit mysterious. But Frances is hiding a secret—one that would surely separate them if he ever knew the truth. And to hold on to his love, she is willing to do anything for him, even put herself at risk by hiding a precious object, stolen by the Nazis decades before. Now… Years later, Frances’s son, Harry, opens the door of his late mother’s home, never expecting to see Tabitha—the lost love of his life—on the other side. Their angry parting had broken his heart, but now she holds a letter, sent by his mother just before her death, begging the pair to search—together—for a priceless jewelry box, hidden somewhere in her little Cotswold cottage. Harry quickly dismisses the search, but as an art historian, Tabitha cannot risk the chance to recover something so valuable that was long thought to be lost. And so they embark on a journey of discovery, but soon find themselves searching for much more than a missing piece of art. Together they learn that the true riches are not those buried in the clutter of Francis’s cottage, but are instead the treasures they each hold, buried deep inside their hearts.
