1.		The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks from Crown Price: $14.30 Customer Review: At its heart, this is the story of the Lacks family and the cell line that was spawned from one woman, Henrietta Lacks. It is also the story, in a vague sense, of what the research done on those cells meant to her daughter, Deborah Lacks. It purports to be more than this, and many have willingly,... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

[no image]	The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down: A Hmong Child, Her American Doctors and the Collision of Two Cultures from Farrar Straus & Giroux Price: $23.20 Customer Review: Riveting story of the impact of culture on patients in the healthcare system.

4.		Codependent No More from Recorded Books Price: $13.59 Customer Review: Excellent!! As a man involved in recovery for more than 35 years, a member of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA), Adult Children of Alcoholics (ACOA), and Alanon, being a codependent wasn't totally clear to me.

5.		My Stroke of Insight: A Brain Scientist's Personal Journey from Plume Price: $5.09 Customer Review: A well-written account of an amazing experience, in which the author observed what was happening to her as she had a stroke, and later as she struggled with her one-sided brain power.

Brain Rules: 12 Principles for Surviving and Thriving at Work, Home, and School from Pear Press Price: $8.67 Customer Review: John Medina structures and writes his "Brain Rules" as though he were teaching a class. He divides his book into twelve chapters, and writes each chapter in a breezy, colloquial tone, and uses anecdotes now and then to maintain the reader's attention.

10.		The DASH Diet Action Plan: Based on the National Institutes of Health Research: Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension from Amidon Press Price: $15.60 Customer Review: A dietician recommended this diet, and specifically mentioned this book. At first glance, the DASH diet was difficult to understand until I flipped through and found that the 28 day menus all stressed portion control of foods from the food groups, and listed the portions per day of each one. Portion... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

The Complete Guide to Asperger's Syndrome from Jessica Kingsley Publishers Price: $15.99 Customer Review: I purchased this book after it was recommended to me as the best book about Asperger's Syndrome.
