Paperback. Etat : Very Good. Everyone dreads the words " Alzheimer ' s disease " and " dementia. " And everyone who  plans to live beyond age sixty-five is at some risk. Dr. Tiffany Chow, a prominent  clinician and neuroscientist, offers knowledge and hope about an illness where  there is, as yet, no cure. Aimed at patients and their families, The Memory Clinic  is a comprehensive and ultimately reassuring work about the prevention and  management of dementia. Chow herself has a genetic legacy of Alzheimer ' s disease, and she probes what  she -- and everyone else -- can do to mitigate the impact of genetics through nutrition,  exercise, and the concepts of cerebral reserve and brain plasticity. But it is in  her front-line role managing the suffering caused by dementia and aiding caregivers  where Chow ' s compassionate voice is most inspiring. She emphasizes that both  patients and caregivers need to feel safe, healthy, happy, and loved, and that meeting  these basic needs daily takes skill at balancing life ' s demands and is itself part of the  protective shield against dementia ' s effects. Dr. Chow has written an accessible and fascinating guide through the mysteries of  the brain ' s deterioration in dementia. And as an empathetic physician who sees the  person behind the symptoms, she offers practical strategies and comfort to both  the afflicted and their caregivers. …

Paperback. Etat : Good. Written in a fast-paced episodic style that pays fitting homage to the black-and-white cinema adventure serials of yesteryear, this is an engaging memoir of the unpredictable (and at times perilous) life of the late Wong Kee Hung, an itinerant cinema manager swept up in the postwar cinema industry boom of 1950s and 60s Malaysia and Singapore. Kee Hung's line of work threw him into contact with a menagerie of characters ranging from movie stars and politicians to gangsters and headhunters. Armed with just a foldable camp bed and mosquito net, his wanderings took him into unfamiliar and sometimes dangerous territory. This book follows him closely along these journeys. The notes and diaries he kept of his adventures were discovered by his son after his death and have been woven into a glorious first person account written from the perspective of Kee Hung himself.…

Hardback. Etat : Good. In this stunning debut, author Derrick Chow reenvisions the tale of the Pied Piper. Both terrifying and hauntingly beautiful, Chow masterfully uses literal and figurative monsters to explore the themes of grief and how we handle loss. Climb aboard the midnight train! Things wondrous and terrible await you. Twelve-year-old Reggie Wong has a quick temper that's always getting him into trouble at school, while at home his mom struggles to get out of bed--let alone leave their apartment. That's why Reggie desperately needs his dad back. One problem: His dad is dead. Enter the Conductor, a peculiar man who promises to make Reggie's wish to see his father just one more time come true. All he must do is climb aboard the man's subway train, which leaves St. Patrick Station promptly at midnight. Desperate to have his dad and happy family back, Reggie takes him up on the offer, only to discover the train is filled with other children who have lost a loved one, just like him. As he speeds through the wild, uncharted tunnels beneath the city, Reggie meets Chantal, an annoyingly peppy girl obsessed with lists and psychiatry, and Gareth, his arch-nemesis and bully since the fourth grade. As each kid steps off the train and into the arms of their lost family member, Reggie can't believe his impossible wish is about to come true. But when Reggie comes to the end of the line and sees his father waiting for him, he soon discovers all is not as it seems. He and his unlikely new friends have been ensnared in a deadly trap.

The rats of St. Patrick Station have taken over and they're absolutely ravenous.…

Hardback. Etat : Good. Frances has one job in life: to get into Berkeley and become a doctor so that her mother's ambitions will be realized. And Frances doesn't think there's anything wrong with that, until the day she accidentally steps into a speech class and begins to discover a talent her mother wouldn't approve of. Frances turns out to be a natural at debate and public speaking. But to win in competition, she needs to say things she really believes--and to hide what she's doing from her mother. And once Frances steps out beyond her narrowly prescribed life, she begins to question many things about the way she is raised. Why can't she go to a dance with a boy who likes her? Why can't Frances get a job, or have any money of her own? And most of all, why is her mother never happy with her? Frances knows she should be obedient, and that her mother has sacrificed everything so she can succeed. But when it's time to take the biggest step of her life, will Frances have the courage to defy her mother? First-time novelist Cara Chow creates an unforgettable story of a young woman finding her voice against a background of strong cultural tradition and a mother whose ambition for her shows two very different sides to maternal love.…

Hardback. Etat : Good. This "graceful, captivating" (New York Times Book Review) story from a singular new talent paints a portrait of grief and the search for meaning as told through the prism of three generations of her Chinese American family--perfect for readers of Helen Macdonald and Elizabeth Alexander. Kat Chow has always been unusually fixated on death. She worried constantly about her parents dying---especially her mother. A vivacious and mischievous woman, Kat's mother made a morbid joke that would haunt her for years to come: when she died, she'd like to be stuffed and displayed in Kat's future apartment in order to always watch over her.  After her mother dies unexpectedly from cancer, Kat, her sisters, and their father are plunged into a debilitating, lonely grief. With a distinct voice that is wry and heartfelt, Kat weaves together a story of the fallout of grief that follows her extended family as they emigrate from China and Hong Kong to Cuba and America. Seeing Ghosts asks what it means to reclaim and tell your family's story: Is writing an exorcism or is it its own form of preservation? The result is an extraordinary new contribution to the literature of the American family, and a provocative and transformative meditation on who we become facing loss.
