From Bette Davis to Beyoncé, Maria Callas to Mariah Carey, this gorgeously illustrated book takes a look at what it means to be a diva.

Originating from the Latin for “deity” or “goddess,” the term “diva” has evolved to become a far more complex—and loaded—term. Delving into public and private personas of performers from Jenny Lind to Sarah Bernhardt, Nina Simone to Rihanna, this book looks at what it means to be a “diva” and how this has been subverted and embraced over time.

Editor Kate Bailey opens the book with an essay on the transformation of the diva from 19th-century opera and stage star to the 20th-century silent screen siren. Six thematic chapters focus on different aspects of diva-dom: “Performing the Diva” looks at how Hollywood icons Elizabeth Taylor and Bette Davis cultivated their personas through their approach to costume and attitude, and how this has been taken up by performers such as Cher, Elton John, and Mariah Carey; “Voice for Change” discusses the political activism of artists such as Billie Holiday and Miriam Makeba; “Status, Power, and Freedom” explores the agency and brand acumen shown by artists including Dolly Parton and Beyoncé; “Rebel Reinvention” touches on the pursuit of radical new ways of performing via the work of Debbie Harry, Madonna, Missy Elliott, Lady Gaga, and others; “Liberating the Diva” considers the way that musicians such as Tina Turner, Freddie Mercury, Grace Jones, and Miley Cyrus have played with expectations for gender and sexuality; and, finally, “All By Myself” examines the tensions between public and private life experienced by the likes of Britney Spears and Liza Minnelli.

Illustrated with more than 100 color photographs of dynamic performance pictures and sumptuous stage costumes, 
Diva is a look at the glamour, celebrity, fashion, and feminism inherent in being designated a “diva.”

Breaking it down
Format: Hardcover
The authors do an excellent job of breaking the Bible down and explaining it in a way I have not read before. It is sectioned out starting with Genesis and rolling through the books breaking down the main points of each one. It displays how each builds on each other and uses a unique approach to categorizing each book or books.

Very appropriate level of detail
Format: Paperback
New to orthopedics? This book is a must have! The pictures are simple, yet contain enough detail to learn information needed to perform at a professional level. The book does a great job at stepping through the anatomy. It hits all the major conditions and does so in a way that is very easy to understand and retain. Highly recommend this book!

Concise, broad, and conceptual overview
Format: Paperback
I read this book before my first Orthopaedic rotation as a fourth year medical student and it was a superb introduction to Orthopaedic Surgery. It is very concise and well written, and introduces key concepts and fundamental principles of Orthopaedics. As most medical students know, the best learning on clerkships comes from reading about clinical situations as they come up in real life. That said, its always helpful to have a brief introduction to the field before beginning a rotation and I thought this book had the breadth and focus on concepts to be a perfect introductory read since my medical school has little to no coverage of common MSK conditions in the curriculum. More depth can always be found on Orthobullets and in textbooks and the primary literature, but it's helpful to have a broad overview to start out.

Amazing review but falls short in comprehensiveness
Format: Paperback
Felt lost while going into Ortho Sub-Is, but this book was a great quick review before going into them. It served well to give context to the field, but definitely not enough for a thorough review for sub-Is. If you are not in medical school, this book might be more apt for you. Overall, love the cartoon and definitely helped me some questions right on intense pimp sessions.

Med school orthopedics (basic orthopedics) presented in an easy to understand format.
Format: Paperback
This book is well written and easy to follow. I'm a fan of this publishers "Clinical Pathology Made Ridiculously Simple," and I found this book to be similar in presentation. This is a good book for Medical and PA students during their orthopedic didactic curriculum, and as a review before an orthopedic rotation, but it's a little too basic to be the only book you read during your orthopedic clerkship (for clerkship, I recommend also reading Case Files Orthopaedic Surgery).This is a good book to review orthopedic concepts for board exams. It's also a good book for primary care residents and primary care mid-level providers who want to brush up on ortho.
