This is powerful but not comfortable reading, in the prose of a poet and the vision of a healer. I wish...all doctors could read it. He was a good man and a good poet, for both of which we, with Dr. Coles, 'as many in New Jersey had occasion to say during the first half of this century, say and say again: Thank you, Dr. Williams.', Impoverished patients was the rich literary lode his muse mined late every evening [or] snatched from his busy practice., Stories written with the swift, concise, unsentimental exactitude of a great diagnostician who also happened to be a great poet.

Synopsis
Not only for students and doctors, this volume contains Williams's thirteen "doctor stories," several of his most famous poems on medical matters, and "The Practice" from The Autobiography., These writings, together with Dr. Robert Coles's enthusiastic appraisal of teaching Williams and Dr. William Eric Williams's personal and touching filial account, My Father, the Doctor, make up an intriguing and timely study of the poet as a physician of rare humanity and self-knowledge. As Coles suggests, Dr. Williams's writing can help many others take a knowing look at the medical profession., The fifth omnibus edition of the classic science fiction of A. Bertram Chandler's John Grimes books and stories in this renowned SF space-faring saga. Contains "Into the Alternate Universe, ""Contraband from Otherspace," "The Rim Gods" (1969)--a story collection, "The Commodore at Sea" (a.k.a. "Alternate Orbits," 1971)--four novellas. Pipe-smoking, action-loving spaceship commander Lieutenant John Grimes (think Captain Kirk with more of a navy, salty attitude) moves out of the Federation navy and finds his true calling adventuring along the spaceways of the galactic rim. Number five in the collected adventures of the legendary John Grimes of the Galactic Rim series, including four novels: "Into the Alternate Universe" (1964)"Contraband from Otherspace" (1967)"The Rim Gods" (1969)--story collection"The Commodore at Sea" (a.k.a. "Alternate Orbits," 1971)--four novelets About A. Bertram Chandler and the John Grimes series: "SF's answer to Horatio Hornblower." --"Publishers Weekly ""As Asimov chronicled the Foundation, as Heinlein built his Future History, so Chandler constructs the epic of the Rim Worlds." --"Analog "" Grimes] establishes a loyalty in his readers rather similar to that felt by readers of Hornblower. Indeed Chandler's] space operas are among the most likeable and well constructed in the genre. . . ." --"The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction", These writings, together with Dr. Robert Coles's enthusiastic appraisal of teaching Williams and Dr. William Eric Williams's personal and touching filial account, "My Father, the Doctor," make up an intriguing and timely study of the poet as a physician of rare humanity and self-knowledge. As Coles suggests, Dr. Williams's writing can help many others take a knowing look at the medical profession.
