  Multisolving - Creating Systems...

  For most of Elizabeth Sawin's career, she was not a multisolver. Instead, she worked on a single, albeit immensely important problem: climate change. Despite tremendous effort, she felt like she was chasing her tail. Unless people began to recognize the multitude of unexpected benefits from ratcheting down emissions, climate change would remain a losing political issue.That experience, along with the guidance of leaders in systems thinking and racial justice, convinced her that the world's thorniest problems may be easier to tackle together than one by one. That's multisolving: using a single investment of time or money to solve many problems at the same time. Multisolving addresses the current mismatch between complex, deeply intertwined societal issues and our siloed approach to them.This unique resource is for local school boards that need revenue for their students but don't want to overtax low-income seniors. It is for nonprofits working to reduce food waste and combat the root causes of hunger while increasing racial justice. It is for seaside communities that can protect themselves from flooding while also improving biodiversity with a living coastline. It may also be for you: doing the work you know is imperative but that is sometimes overwhelming, a tiny drop in a swirling ocean.

  Microscopic Worlds: Unseen Forces of Nature invites readers into the hidden realms of biology where the smallest organisms wield massive influence over life on Earth. This enlightening 3-in-1 volume explores three essential branches of microbiology—Virology, Bacteriology, and Mycology—each revealing a different facet of microscopic life and its impact on ecosystems, health, and the natural world. 
  The first section, Virology, examines the mysterious world of viruses—microscopic agents that exist on the edge of life. Readers will learn how viruses invade cells, replicate, and evolve, as well as how they have shaped human history through pandemics and medical breakthroughs. From bacteriophages to coronaviruses, this section explores the vital role viruses play in both disease and genetic innovation. 
  In Bacteriology, readers delve into the diverse and adaptable world of bacteria. This section unpacks how these single-celled organisms are responsible for everything from infections to fermentation. It also explores the balance bacteria maintain in ecosystems and within the human body, such as in the gut microbiome, and how they are utilized in biotechnology and medicine. 
  The final section, Mycology, focuses on fungi, a unique kingdom of organisms often overlooked due to their microscopic size or hidden nature. Mycology reveals the fascinating roles fungi play in decomposition, nutrient cycling, symbiosis with plants, and even medical therapies. Readers will explore everything from mold and yeast to the complex structures of fungal networks in soil. 
  Together, these three disciplines offer a powerful perspective on the invisible but essential forces that govern life at a microscopic scale. Microscopic Worlds is ideal for science enthusiasts, biology students, or anyone curious about the organisms that shape our lives without ever being seen.

  Medical Ethics - Complex...

  Medical ethics is the backbone of modern healthcare, ensuring that medical professionals navigate complex decisions with integrity, compassion, and fairness. It establishes the moral principles that guide patient care, medical research, and public health policies, preventing harm and promoting trust in the healthcare system. Without ethical guidelines, advancements in medicine could lead to exploitation, inequities, and violations of human rights, undermining the fundamental purpose of healthcare. 
  The principles of medical ethics—autonomy, beneficence, non-maleficence, and justice—form the foundation of ethical decision-making in medicine. Autonomy protects a patient’s right to make informed choices about their own healthcare, emphasizing the importance of consent. Beneficence compels medical professionals to act in the best interests of their patients, while non-maleficence ensures that harm is minimized. Justice mandates fair and equal treatment for all patients, addressing issues of healthcare access and resource distribution. These principles help balance the rights of individuals with the broader responsibilities of medical institutions and practitioners. 
  Historical failures in medical ethics serve as stark reminders of what happens when ethical principles are ignored. The Tuskegee Syphilis Study, in which African American men were denied proper treatment for syphilis without their knowledge, remains one of the most egregious violations of patient rights. Similarly, the case of Henrietta Lacks, whose cells were taken without consent and used for groundbreaking research, highlights ethical concerns surrounding patient autonomy and medical consent. These cases have driven reforms in medical ethics, leading to stricter regulations and the establishment of review boards to oversee research practices.

  Harnessing Disruption - Building...

  In Harnessing Disruption, Sarah E. Kreps—a national security expert and military veteran—offers a fresh, clear-eyed framework for understanding the social and political dynamics that shape technological change. From nuclear weapons to AI, cryptocurrency, and social media, breakthrough innovations rarely arrive without backlash. Disruption is not collapse. History shows it is part of a recurring pattern.With unmatched insight and authority, Kreps traces a five-stage cycle that technologies follow: emergence, early warnings, crisis, agenda-setting, and institutional response. Drawing on decades of research and real-world policy experience, she argues that disruption is neither inherently dangerous nor inherently self-correcting. Rather, it's a process we can steer, if we learn to see the signs and act decisively.Harnessing Disruption challenges fatalistic narratives that cast AI and other technologies as uncontrollable forces. It makes the case for cautious optimism: that institutions can adapt, societies can recalibrate, and technologies can be governed in ways that protect both innovation and the public good. Timely, incisive, and grounded in both historical precedent and contemporary case studies, this book provides the tools for anyone to understand where we are in the cycle of disruption and how to shape what comes next.
