How Humans Evolved
by Robert Boyd Joan B. SilkThis book focuses on the processes that have shaped human evolution. As anthropologists, the authors are interested in the evolutionary history of their own species. Homo sapiens and the diversity of contemporary human societies. As evolutionary biologists, the authors study how evolution works to shape the natural world. In this book, they integrate these two perspectives and use current theoretical and empirical work in evolutionary theory, population genetics and behavioral ecology to interpret human evolutionary history. They describe the changes that have occurred as the human lineage has evolved and consider why these changes may have happened. By focusing on the processes that generate change, create adaptations and shape bodies and behavior, they try to give life to the creatures that left the bones and made the artifacts that paleontologists and archaeologists painstakingly excavate. The authors also pay serious attention to the role of evolution in shaping contemporary human behavior. The list of references for further reading at the end of each chapter provides a starting point for students who want to delve more deeply into the material covered in that chapter.

How Doctors Care: The Science of Compassionate and Balanced Caring in Medicine
by Dominic O. VachonCompassion draws physicians into medicine, but then they believe they must jettison that compassion to survive. Paradoxically, science has now shown that losing that compassion not only harms the patient, it also harms the doctor. How Doctors Care: The Science of Compassionate and Balanced Caring in Medicine explains what physicians and other clinicians can do to provide balanced and compassionate caring for patients without becoming emotionally detached or overwhelmed. <p><p>The text provides a research-informed and non-sentimental description of physician/clinician compassion. Bringing together cutting-edge scientific research for practicing physicians and those in training, How Doctors Care provides the first full articulation of what constitutes optimal compassionate mental performance in the practice of medicine. It argues how maintaining this internal state is the key to physician resilience and fulfillment in a dysfunctional healthcare system. <p><p>Rather than blaming clinicians for burnout, How Doctors Care argues that healthcare organizations must provide organizational protection and support to clinicians so that they are able to maintain the compassionate internal state they desire so much and that benefits patients the most.
