Paperback. Condition: Good. "Advance Care Planning is a rich, insightful book of interest to a broad range or disciplines.

The realistic case studies help readers understand the complexities of decision-making by the individual and the family."--Doody's Medical Reviews While advance directives hold a great deal of promise for ensuring self-determination and quality of life near its end, the majority of Americans face life-threatening illness without having completed effective advance care planning.

Paperback. Condition: Good. Genetics professor Michelle Murphy loses her husband under mysterious circumstances and without warning, while their brilliant eight year old daughter Avalon, adopted in Kazakhstan, stubbornly believes she is a mutant.

The scientific and technical aspects underlying the plot - in particular aspects of FOX proteins, genetic mutations, viruses and cancer as well as the relation between intelligence and cortical complexity - are introduced and discussed by the authors in an extensive non-technical appendix.…
