  The Firm Market and the Law

  R.H. Coase

  Few other economists have been read and cited as often as R.H. Coase has been, even though, as he admits, “most economists have a different way of looking at economic problems and do not share my conception of the nature of our subject.” Coase’s particular interest has been that part of economic theory that deals with firms, industries, and markets—what is known as price theory or microeconomics. He has always urged his fellow economists to examine the foundations on which their theory exists, and this volume collects some of his classic articles probing those very foundations. “The Nature of the Firm” (1937) introduced the then-revolutionary concept of transaction costs into economic theory. “The Problem of Social Cost” (1960) further developed this concept, emphasizing the effect of the law on the working of the economic system. The remaining papers and new introductory essay clarify and extend Coarse’s arguments and address his critics.“These essays bear rereading. Coase’s careful attention to actual institutions not only offers deep insight into economics but also provides the best argument for Coase’s methodological position. The clarity of the exposition and the elegance of the style also make them a pleasure to read and a model worthy of emulation.”—Lewis A. Kornhauser, Journal of Economic LiteratureRonald H. Coase was awarded the Nobel Prize in Economic Science in 1991.

  This book provides a full guide to creating and running an intensive treatment program for youth with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). 
   
   
   
  There is a rapidly growing interest in brief intensive treatment modalities in both clinical and research settings. Intensive treatment for OCD condenses evidence-based interventions into more patient contact hours per week than standard weekly therapy, and is widely supported as an efficient, effective, and desirable treatment option. Intensive treatment can be widely applicable to different patient groups, including those with more severe symptoms for whom weekly therapy is not sufficient, and those who have mild or moderate symptoms but do not have access to evidence-based treatments in their geographic region. Despite broad interest in developing concentrated treatment programs for OCD, practitioners face several challenges when trying to launch and maintain these programs. This book will provide a comprehensive guide covering the topics of import for clinicians, researchers, and administrators, across different types of institutions and care settings, who want to build an intensive treatment program into their clinical practice across different types of institutions and care settings.

  Welcome to the frontier where mind meets machine. 
  This 48-lecture audio course delivers a sweeping, PhD-level exploration of neuroprosthetics and brain–computer interfaces (BCIs), tracing the arc from early electrical experiments to the latest breakthroughs in neural decoding, cortical stimulation, and cognitive enhancement. It weaves together foundational neuroscience, cutting-edge engineering, landmark clinical use cases, and the emerging societal implications of brain–machine integration. 
  Listeners will journey through the biology of neurons and networks, the physics of electrodes and wireless implants, the clinical realities of stroke, ALS, and Parkinson’s disease, and the technological future of memory prosthetics, speech decoding, and real-time brain–AI symbiosis. Along the way, the course tackles the deepest questions: What happens when a mind is routed through a machine? Who owns neural data? And what does it mean to be augmented? 
  Rigorous, narrative-driven, and designed for the intellectually ambitious, this course is an essential guide to one of the most transformative domains in science and technology.

  Marisa Burke is a top-rated, local anchorwoman at one of the most respected local ABC affiliates in the country. She enjoys celebrity status, six-figure salaries, a gorgeous home, and beautiful family. 
   
   
   
  But rather than reporting the news, Marisa suddenly becomes the subject of it when her husband, an admired educator, the father of her two young girls, and the man she truly believed was her loving soulmate, was arrested for unlawful sexual relationships with underage boys. What was even more excruciating, Marisa was forced to endure the shame and embarrassment of anchoring the same newscasts in which the personally gut-wrenching news stories about her husband's charges were reported. 
   
   
   
  Marisa Burke's shocking memoir, Just Checking Scores reveals what happens when a person at the top is brought down by public humiliation into a world of deep despair and what Burke did to channel her suffering and anguish into defiance and strength.
