Through the centuries vaunted, derided, dirty, innovative, and frequently overflowing with destitute patients, Bellevue Hospital has been a last refuge for the ill, a warren for the dispossessed, an incubator, laboratory, and research center for physicians and nurses, and a vital, compassionate cog in the clamorous history of our greatest metropolis. ~ Reviewed by Mike Hare

Are you one of those people who puts your head down at night, setting your morning alarm clock, cringing as you calculate how many hours of sleep you'll get that night? Do you think losing an hour or two of sleep isn't a big deal or that you can "catch up later"? Do you think you're immune to the effects of caffeine? Matthew Walker is here to tell you just how wrong you are, making scientific discoveries accessible to the average arrogant reader, or rather, sleeper, who thinks little of popping Tylenol PMs, or pulling an all-nighter, and even less of the benefits of a good night's rest. An influential voice, Walker will be echoing in your head as you try to tell yourself one more episode in your Netflix binge won't drain you the next day. ~ Reviewed by Hanna Yost

Walker is the rare author who applauds readers who doze off while reading his book. Why? Adequate sleep, Walker persuasively and enthusiastically argues, fends off disease, strengthens immune systems, enhances memory, aids mental acuity, promotes happiness, and is, broadly, infinitely more beneficial than any drug. ~ Reviewed by Mike Hare

A surgeon named Joseph Lister, by his tireless advocacy of antiseptics, led a momentous, and humane, change in the treatment of the sick. The product Listerine is but a small tribute to a man who devoted his life to healing. ~ Reviewed by Mike Hare

Giving up the couch in favor of arduous first-time jogs or frustrating morning drives to the regional gym can be daunting, unpleasant, and seemingly near-impossible. Dear Couch, We're Through! proves that Jenn Benson not only understands this and all the other reasons we tend to resist exercise, but also how our approach to "getting fit" itself impacts what we actually get out of it. With an accessible format, spot-on humor, and plenty of real stories (triumphant and non), beginners and old pros alike can lean on Benson for all the quick advice and long-term strategy you'd expect from a personal trainer. Add it to your gym bag and feel free to mark it up—this is the perfect place to start your year (or month, or week) of exercise! ~Reviewed by Aubrey Restifo
