Ein Geschenk- und Verschenkbuch für die ganze Familie, berührend und durchgängig farbig illustriert vom Meister der realistischen Tierillustration Reinhard Michl. 'Eigentlich kam mir die Idee zu diesem Buch, als ich meinen Enkeln vorlas. Ich wollte sie nur unterhalten, aber als beim Vorlesen plötzlich ihr Interesse für Wildtiere erwachte, war ich mit dieser Wirkung natürlich sehr zufrieden. In unserer Welt bleibt den Wildtieren immer weniger Raum zum Leben. Und darum möchte ich den Kindern das Gefühl geben, dass diese besonderen Tiere etwas Faszinierendes und Wertvolles sind.'

Robert Jeremy Cole, the legendary doctor and hero of THE PHYSICIAN, left an enduring legacy. From the eleventh century on, the eldest son in each generation of the Cole family has borne the same first name and middle initial and many of these men have followed the medical profession. A few have been blessed with their ancestor's diagnostic skill and the 'sixth sense' they call The Gift, the ability to know instinctively when death is impending. The tragedy of Rob J.'s life is the deafness of his son, Robert Jefferson Cole, who is called Shaman by everyone who knows him. Shaman's life is difficult. First, he must learn to speak so that he can take his place in the hearing world, and then he must fight against the prejudices of a society where physical differences matter. As Shaman struggles to achieve his identity, the Coles, along with the rest of America, are drawn into the conflict between the North and the South.

With Choices, Noah Gordon brings to a close his great trilogy spanning the generations of the Cole medical dynasty. Beginning with the legendary 11th-century doctor Robert J. Cole, each eldest son has borne the same name and middle initial, and some have possessed the uncanny "sixth sense" known as The Gift: the terrible and instinctive knowledge that someone is about to die. In Choices, it emerges again in the present, but this time in a daughter, Roberta Jeanne d'Arc Cole, known as R.J. The first time R.J. defies her beloved father is when she is born a female; the second, when she chooses to study law rather than medicine. Yet destiny is to overtake her when R.J. realizes that she has inherited The Gift. As she holds the hands of a sick man, R.J. feels a dreadful certainty that he is going to die; tragically, he is her own lover. Struggling with her grief, R.J. knows she must bow to the inevitable and become a physician. But her life changes when she moves to a small-town practice and is faced with a terrible dilemma -- and an important choice to make.
