What Happened When I Lost It on a Mountain Bike

Bicycling

Within the first mile of a mountain biking tour at Dead Horse Point State Park in Moab, Utah, 2,000 feet above the Colorado River, I went from trying to relax to trying to stay vertical. Everyone else was zooming over the rocks that felt like jagged boulders under my tires. I fell and fell again. Soon, I couldn't even will myself back onto the bike. Was my meltdown really about mountain biking? Or was it about not being able to handle my fear?

Although many forces compete for attention in the digital age, story triumphs. The works in this anthology show us why.

White Coats: Three Journeys through an American Medical School, Kent State University Press, 2012

Although we rely on physicians, calling on them at birth and death and every medical event in between, rarely do we consider the personal challenges faced by doctors-to-be. In 2005 author Jacqueline Marino and photojournalist Tim Harrison had the unprecedented opportunity to chronicle the experiences of three students as they learned to become doctors at the Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine. In White Coats, Marino and Harrison bring readers into the classrooms, anatomy labs, and hospitals where the students take their first pulses, dissect their first cadavers, and deliver their first babies.
