The Legacy of Tracy J Putnam and H. Houston Merritt
Lewis P Rowland M.D.
Oxford University Press Inc
2008
sidottu
Tracy Putnam and H. Houston Merritt co-discovered the effectiveness of Dilantin in controlling epilepsy, a dramatic find that is still invaluable today. Now, in this engaging volume, eminent neurologist Lewis P. Rowland, MD, tells the unique story of these two key figures and their outstanding contributions to science. Rowland reveals that Putnam was a brilliant and imaginative experimentalist, but he clashed with others--including powerful neurosurgeons--and ended up dying in relative obscurity. Merritt was the practical one, an observer, fact-collector and recorder, a practitioner of what is now called "evidence-based medicine". From his early days Merritt was a popular and remarkable diagnostician, and went on to be one of the most influential neurologists in the United States, a man who trained a generation of neurologists. As Dr. Rowland recounts this dual biography, he also sheds light on the origins of modern neurology, drug development, the growth of neuroscience and clinical investigation, academic anti-Semitism, the difficult struggle to translate basic science into clinical practice, the need for controls in therapeutic trials, and many other issues.

The History of Camp Tracy: Japanese WWII POWs and the Future of Strategic Interrogation
Alexander Corbin
Ziedon Press

The United States' Global War on Terrorism is in its sixth year with no end in sight. Intelligence-gathering is crucial to the successful prosecution of this struggle. These days, though, the mere mentioning of detention and interrogation evokes scandalous and degrading images. So we have the dilemma of determining how the United States can successfully obtain necessary information from a foreign and hostile enemy without alienating its own citizenry and the international community. Part of the resolution to that dilemma may lie right here. In his graphic account of Camp Tracy, US Army Major Alexander D. Corbin looks back at a time when the United States fought and won against an enemy that was profoundly different from Americans in appearance, culture, and religion. His in-depth analysis illustrates many parallels between this past enemy and today's adversaries. It argues convincingly that the successful tactics and techniques of the past can still be applied today and in the future.

Lethal Injections: Elizabeth Tracy Mae Wettlaufer, Canada's Serial Killer Nurse

Canada's Serial Killer Nurse Tells All "I had been killing people using an insulin overdose, okay." That's what registered nurse Elizabeth Wettlaufer told her friends, her pastor, and her doctors. On October 5, 2016, in Woodstock, Ontario, she told the police all about it. World War II veteran James Silcox was "the first one to die as a result of what I did." After killing him with an insulin overdose, the nurse went home and played computer games. "The doctor wants you to have your vitamin shot," the nurse told Maurice Granat before administering the insulin overdose that killed him. After giving Helen Matheson her blueberry pie, nurse Wettlaufer overdosed the woman. "After I did it, I got that laughter," she told police, and she laughed when Helen died. Nurse Wettlaufer told Mary Zurawinski the injection was "for pain" but it killed her as intended. And after getting the news, nurse Wettlaufer departed on a Caribbean cruise. As the nurse told police, Gladys Millard took longer to die than some others. "Take your medicine," the registered nurse told Arpad Horvath as she injected the insulin overdose that killed him. Nurse Wettlaufer also told police she killed Maureen Pickering and Helen Young. She told police how, when and why she killed her victims. The nurse told police she attempted to kill at least four others, and that she never "got caught." What would be the serial killer's penalty for inflicting so much death and suffering? Read all about it in Lethal Injections.

The Deflowering of Miss Tracy Cunningham: Formerly Back Story

This book is the "auto-biography" of Tracy Cunningham. It is a fictional life story of our protagonist, from childhood to apprentice private investigator. It tells us why she is the kind of person she is. Her thirteenth and fourteenth years were her worst. Her mother passes away from a multi-year bout with lung cancer. Kelly McAllister, her best friend since infancy, dies from a virulent form of Leukemia. And her beloved grandfather is killed in a drug-store shootout. Tracy and her father are like two people living on a desert island. She is a latch-key kid, left to her own devices to get through her teen years. He is trying to make Chief in record time, she is trying to go through the football team in record time. Her errant ways come to a screeching halt one painful day in her junior year. Tracy isn't a perfect woman, far from it. She embraces her inner child, and is naive in a lot of aspects. She carries scars from childhood, has morality issues with sex and drinking and making the right decisions. Yet through all this, she maintains a sense of humor, and a fierce sense of loyalty which is seemingly not reciprocated. There are times when friends and loved ones want her to quit a job, and she won't. Even if the request turns out to be a demand, she won't quit an obligation. This sense of loyalty is also the reason she feels that a promise, an obligation, and/or keeping her word is uppermost. Tracy is a big believer in Occam's Razor, which can be paraphrased as follow the most likely scenario that fits all the facts. This allows her free-thinking imagination to come up with scenarios from left field. In this book, we see her deductive prowess mature with her adult persona. How were four Pre-Colombian Artifacts stolen from "super sensitized pedestals" in a room protected by video monitors and motion detectors wired to two different alarm companies? She works out a plausible way to steal the gold statues within a half-hour of arriving on the scene. She meets her match in the form of a cop who is as tall as she is short. Sergeant Greg Phillips, SFPD and she have an instant chemistry that will evolve into a love and hate relationship that will last for years. Tracy is a sailboat racing nut. She is an expert on sailboats, and any naivet or inner child remains ashore when she's involved in a race. Her fellow competitors and friends are referred to as "The Enemy". They refer to her as Captain Bligh. She keeps only first place memorabilia, because coming in second just means someone beat you. Being an airhead about money (Her terminology) has led her down a path that ends in a fellow resident making her and offer she can't refuse. Tracy agrees to come to a party in the penthouse apartment of Nora, who owns the very tip-top escort service in San Francisco. For her services that night, Tracy will earn sixty percent of a very high fee. She becomes one of the most sought-after escorts in the city, primarily because she has established herself in the Eden Connection as the brainy girl with all the hostessing skills to go along with her bedroom prowess, which is formidable. Stuff happens, and stuff happened to Tracy. She has been keeping her cash, jewelery and investment gold in a safe in Nora's penthouse. One night, the safe is cracked and all the contents thereof removed. Nora, Tracy and two other escorts' nest eggs are wiped out. Tracy is fired from her daytime job because her supervisor discovers her nighttime occupation by accidently listening to a phone conversation between Tracy and a client. Realizing that it was time to change careers, Tracy works five weeks full time in the Eden Connection, retires from there, and with a few thousand dollars, retires, packs her car and heads across the Golden Gate Bridge to seek her new fortune.
