      This book evolved from several courses in combinatorics and graph theory given at Appalachian State University and UCLA. Chapter 1 focuses on finite graph theory, including trees, planarity, coloring, matchings, and Ramsey theory. Chapter 2 studies combinatorics, including the principle of inclusion and exclusion, generating functions, recurrence relations, Pólya theory, the stable marriage problem, and several important classes of numbers. Chapter 3 presents infinite pigeonhole principles, König's lemma, and Ramsey's theorem, and discusses their connections to axiomatic set theory. The text is written in an enthusiastic and lively style. It includes results and problems that cross subdisciplines, emphasizing relationships between different areas of mathematics. In addition, recent results appear in the text, illustrating the fact that mathematics is a living discipline. The text is primarily directed toward upper-division undergraduate students, but lower-division undergraduates with a penchant for proof and graduate students seeking an introduction to these subjects will also find much of interest.

      Focusing on James Edmund Reeves' influential role in American health care, this biography explores significant developments such as clinical epidemiology, botanic medicine, and the impact of the Civil War on sanitary science. It highlights the evolution of laboratory medicine and the proliferation of dubious treatments. The narrative also delves into the personal challenges of managing untreatable diseases and the intricate politics of medical practice. Ultimately, it emphasizes how moral choices shape the direction of health care amidst the forces of politics, economics, and science.

      Professionalizing Medicine
    • Exploring the complex relationship between wood grain patterns, this book delves into the impact of spiral grain on timber quality, highlighting its detrimental effects on strength and usability. It contrasts this with the desirable wavy and interlocked grains, suggesting a connection between them. Recent research into tree cambium offers insights into stem polarity and morphogenetic processes. Additionally, the text discusses measurement techniques for grain deviations and their implications for wood properties, timber economics, and manufacturing practices.
