If you like stories of the Antarctic and of disease, you might like Ice Bound: A Doctor's Incredible Battle for Survival at the South Pole by Maryanne Vollers. It's about a female doctor who finds out she has breast cancer while she's working in the Antarctic. The weather is too bad for her to leave, and so she ends up having to operate on herself. <BR/><BR/>Another good one was The Cruelest Miles: The Heroic Story of Dogs and Men in a Race Against an Epidemic by Gay Salisbury. It's the story of the sled dog teams who were charged with delivering diptheria serum to Nome, Alaska in 1925 after an epidemic breaks out and the town finds itself without medicine.<BR/><BR/>Harrowing stuff on both accounts.Dreamybeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03274518106482632672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7807369122559702185.post-29802045352318755072009-01-02T19:21:00.000-05:002009-01-02T19:21:00.000-05:00Well I must say none of those look interesting to ...Well I must say none of those look interesting to me but I do have one book I found via your blog on my <A HREF="http://smsbookreviews.blogspot.com/2009/01/friday-finds-0102.html" REL="nofollow">list.</A>Kathleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04013633281843747712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7807369122559702185.post-87224278599970363842009-01-02T16:36:00.000-05:002009-01-02T16:36:00.000-05:00Heather, Annie Dunn sounds like one I need to chec...Heather, Annie Dunn sounds like one I need to check out.
