Toronto Public Library Large print books 2009: interesting, compelling, provocative An annotated catalogue of all the Large Print books new to TPL in 2009. Includes French Large Print books and Canadian Large print.

Trout, Nick Love is the best medicine: what two dogs taught one veterinarian about hope, humility and everyday miracles Trout, a surgeon at Boston's Angell Animal Medical Center and best-selling author of Tell Me Where It Hurts , delivers his heartfelt account with a humorous introspection that reaffirms the extraordinary level of caring veterinarians can have for their patients.

211 Tutu, Desmond Made for goodness: and why this makes all the difference The Nobel Peace Prize-winner joins his daughter, an Anglican minister, to share a powerful vision on why each of us can find hope and joy even in troubled times--because we are all made for goodness.

Wainwright, Martin Morris Minor: the biography Designed by Sir Alec Issigonis back in 1948, the Morris Minor or Morris 1000 was in a sense Britain's answer to the Beetle - a bulbous little creation that was also Britain's first mass- appeal car. Between then and 1972 when production belatedly ceased some 1.6 million were built. It was the kind of car in which the district nurse did her rounds. It was a car you felt safe in. It is now 60 years old, and Martin Wainwright, (who proposed to his wife over the gear stick of a Morris Minor), gives us a quirky and fascinating history of this quintessentially British car.

Weigel, George The End and the Beginning: Pope John Paul II – the victory of freedom, the last years, the legacy Weigel's new book explores how John Paul II fought totalitarianism, and how he lived the Christian virtues.

212 Whitehouse, Peter J. ; George, Daniel Myth of Alzheimer's, The: What You Aren't Being Told about Today's Most Dreaded Diagnosis Dr. Peter Whitehouse will transform the way we think about Alzheimer's disease. In this provocative and groundbreaking book, he and Daniel George challenge the conventional wisdom about memory loss and cognitive impairment, question the current treatment for Alzheimer's disease, and provide a new approach to understanding and rethinking everything we thought we knew about brain aging.

Wyatt, John No mercy from the Japanese By the laws of statistics John Wyatt should not be alive to tell his story. During the Malayan campaign his regiment lost two-thirds of its men. More than 300 patients and staff in the Alexandra Military Hospital, Singapore were slaughtered by the Japanese. Twenty-six per cent of soldiers slaving on the Burma Railway died. Many died on the Asaka Maru, which was torpedoed, and the Hakasan Maru, the second grim hellship that took on survivors. Many more POWs did not survive the freezing Japanese winter of 1944/45. Yet John survived all these traumatic events and his chronicle makes a humbling and unforgettable book.

213 Zaslow, Jeffrey The Girls from Ames: a Story of Women and a Forty-year Friendship They formed a special bond growing up in the small town of Ames, Iowa. As young women, they moved to eight different states yet managed to maintain an extraordinary friendship that would carry them through college and careers, marriage and motherhood, dating and divorce, the death of a child, and the mysterious death of the eleventh member of the group. Their remarkable story, which captures what it was like to go from girlhood in the sixties to middle age in the millennium, is a testament to the deep, enduring bonds of women.
