Great Plains book cover
Great Plains
Ian Frazier - 2001-05-04 (впервые опубликовано в 1989)
Рейтинг Goodreads
Discover the vast and myth-inspiring Great Plains through the eyes of Ian Frazier. In this national bestseller, Frazier takes readers on a 25,000-mile journey filled with intrepidity, humor, and wonder. The book is part travelogue, part scholarship, and part western adventure, exploring sites like Sitting Bull's cabin, an abandoned house once terrorized by Bonnie and Clyde, and the scene of the murders chronicled in Truman Capote's In Cold Blood. Great Plains is an expedition that reveals the heart of the American West.

Рейтинг Goodreads
Кажется, кровопролитным «индейским войнам» на Западе США никогда не будет конца. Белые и краснокожие, осатанев от взаимной ненависти, безжалостно истребляют друг друга. Правда, десятилетнюю Джоанну Леонбергер, как и других белых детей, индейцы увезли с собой, чтобы воспитать в своих племенных традициях. Капитан Кидд, ветеран многих войн, привык жить сегодняшним днем, странствуя от поселения к поселению, где он зарабатывает публичным чтением газет для малограмотных покорителей Дикого Запада. Но на этот раз у него другое, более выгодное задание – сопроводить Джоанну через весь Техас к дяде и тете, которым чудом удалось разыскать и выкупить ее у индейцев. Они едут через бескрайние прерии – старик, умеющий стрелять без промаха, и девочка, не знающая ни слова по-английски. Едут по диким землям, где нужно постоянно держаться начеку, ведь смертельная опасность подстерегает на каждом шагу, за каждым поворотом…

Five Days at Memorial
Life and Death in a Storm-Ravaged Hospital
Sheri Fink - 2013-09-10
Рейтинг Goodreads
This book by physician and reporter Sheri Fink explores the five days at Memorial Medical Center during Hurricane Katrina, where exhausted caregivers designated certain patients last for rescue. Months later, health professionals faced criminal allegations for injecting patients with drugs to hasten their deaths. Through six years of reporting, Fink uncovers the hidden dilemmas of end-of-life care and reveals America's ill-preparedness for large-scale disasters. Engrossing and thought-provoking, Five Days at Memorial offers a unique perspective on human nature in crisis.

Just finished the astonishing book FIVE DAYS AT MEMORIAL, which shows people at their best and worst during catastrophe (in this case, Katrina). My takeaway: Nurses are heroes, corporate ownership of hospitals is horrible.      источник
