The Collected Works of Atul Ga: The Checklist Manifesto + Better + Being Mortal + Complications Paperback
$43.00Combined box set of all the bestselling books by Atul Gawande, acclaimed surgeon and writer
In The Checklist Manifesto, Gawande finds a remedy to tackle immensely complex problems with the humblest of techniques: the checklist. Through riveting stories from the fields of medicine to disaster response, investment banking to skyscraper construction and businesses, he demonstrates how the checklist can help anyone improve their own and others’ lives.
In Being Mortal, Gawande argues that an acceptance of mortality must lie at the center of the way we treat the dying. Using his experiences (and missteps) as a surgeon, comparing attitudes toward aging and death in the West and in India, he provides an extraordinary account of loss. Questioning, profound and deeply moving, Being Mortal is a masterpiece.
In Better, Gawande’s gripping stories take us to battlefield surgical tents in Iraq, delivery rooms in Boston, a polio outbreak in India, and malpractice courtrooms in the US. He discusses the ethical dilemma of lethal injections, examines the influence of money on modern medicine, and recounts the contentious history of hand-washing. And as in all his writing, he gives us an inside look at his own life as a surgeon.
In Complications, Gawande performs surgery on medicine itself, laying bare a science that is complicated, perplexing and profoundly human. Dramatic true stories explore how mistakes occur, why good surgeons go bad, and what happens when medicine comes up against the inexplicable. Product description

Journey through forests and realms with iconic characters About the Author
Jacob Ludwig Carl Grimm (1785-1863) and Wilhelm Carl Grimm (1786-1859) were born in Hanau, Hesse-Kassel, Holy Roman Empire (present-day Germany). After completing school, they joined the University of Marburg where they studied law. They also grew interested in folk poetry, philology, history, and began studying medieval German literature. In 1812, they published the first volume of their classic collection, with 86 folk tales, titled Kinder- und Hausmärchen (known as Children’s and Household Tales in English). Unlike the romantic, poetical fairy tales, these tales were as beautiful as they were violent and frightening, presenting life as it was. This volume was criticized as it was considered unsuitable for children. The second edition of Children’s and Household Tales, commonly known as Grimms’ Fairy Tales, had a total of 170 tales published in three volumes. In every successive edition, which was elaborately illustrated, stories were revised, added, and subtracted. The seventh edition published in 1850 had a total of 211 tales.
