BOOK-OF-THE-MONTH CLUB
Put a doctor in your pocket: a guide to medical and health-related Windows CE resources
By Craig Froehle and John Swain
| Although it's not a well-known fact, many Windows CE device owners have taken to downloading entire books into their devices. It's certainly more convenient to carry books in your handy Windows CE device than to overload your backpack or briefcase. Recognizing this interesting trend, Craig Froehle and John Swain, keepers of well-respected e-text repositories, have started a new Book-of-the-Month Club column in Windows CE Power Magazine.

We're not doctors and we don't even play doctors on TV. In fact, we both go faint at the sight of blood. However, lack of professional experience, training, and general common sense never stopped us before. So it is with just such aplomb and a complete lack of formal knowledge that we dissect some of the vast medical and disease-related resources available to Windows CE owners.
Medicine in literature Throughout history, the foundation of society has been altered time and time again by the devastation of disease and the prevailing conditions of medical knowledge. Man's inability to permanently remove himself as a consumable on the display shelves of the food chain has given many writers meat for thought and the foundation for some great works of literature.
The Journal of the Plague Year
Yersinia pestis, the bubonic plague. You have to respect an organism that could so radically redefine the course of European civilization. Empires, fell, economies collapsed, millions perished -- all because of a determined bacterium. For Daniel Defoe, Y. Pestis proved too tempting a character study to ignore.
Set in 1665, Journal of the Plague Year is a fictionalized telling of a summer outbreak of the plague in bustling London. Defoe, considered by many to be one of the first British novelists, managed the difficult task of maintaining the truthful elements of fact and the compelling line of fiction. Though clearly a fictional work, Defoe artfully manages a unique telling of the epidemiology of an outbreak.
