Throughout its history, Houghton Mifflin has published the works of some of
the most distinguished authors in American literature. The Trade and Reference
Division's backlist contains many notable classics, such as Henry David
Thoreau's Walden
and Rachel Carson's Silent
Spring.
Carrying on this proud tradition are books like Dr. Jerome Groopman's How
Doctors Think and Timothy Egan's The
Worst Hard Time.
More than 80 percent of mistakes made in medicine occur because of errors in
judgment. In How
Doctors Think, a book described by Michael Crichton as "direct and
honest," New Yorker writer Dr. Jerome Groopman shows the warning signs of
faulty medical thinking and gives patients words they can use to receive the
best possible care.
Winner of the 2006 National Book Award for Nonfiction, The
Worst Hard Time is an eyewitness account of the Dust Bowl, written by
Pulitzer Prize-winning New York Times reporter Timothy Egan. The story
of a major ecological catastrophe in American history, the book has a powerful
environmental message for our own time.
Mariner

celebrating its tenth year with voices like Alison Bechdel, Elinor Lipman, and
Ward Just.
