In the aftermath of critical illness, physician and writer Dr. Rana Awdish hits a healing wall. Though medicine had saved her life, it had estranged her from her own body in the process. In an attempt to understand how she came to view her body as a broken object, rather than as a site of meaning, mystery, and quiet wisdom, Awdish deconstructs her medical belief system.

In this definitive biography, James P. Cousins offers fresh perspectives on a seminal yet controversial figure in American religious history and educational life. The son of a prosperous New England merchant family, Holley studied at Yale University before serving as a minister.

Marilyn Laurie—“a little Jewish girl from the Bronx”—rose from volunteer environmental organizer to become AT&T’s first female Chief Communications Officer and the first woman to sit on the executive committee of a Fortune10 company. After organizing New York’s first Earth Day in 1970 and producing a New York Times supplement for its second anniversary, she was hired by AT&T in 1971 to spark employee recycling—initially in HR but soon moved into PR based on her initiative. AT&T then handled over 90% of U.S. phone calls, and Laurie believed public trust depended more on action than words.
