  In Made in the USA, Vaclav Smil powerfully rebuts the notion that manufacturing is a relic of predigital history and that the loss of American manufacturing is a desirable evolutionary step toward a pure service economy. Smil argues that no advanced economy can prosper without a strong, innovative manufacturing sector and the jobs it creates. 
   
   
    
  Smil explains how manufacturing became a fundamental force behind America's economic, strategic, and social dominance. He describes American manufacturing's rapid rise at the end of the nineteenth century, its consolidation and modernization between the two world wars, its role as an enabler of mass consumption after 1945, and its recent decline. Some economists argue that shipping low-value jobs overseas matters little because the high-value work remains in the United States. But, asks Smil, do we want a society that consists of a small population of workers doing high-value-added work and masses of unemployed? 
   
   
    
  Smil assesses various suggestions for solving America’s manufacturing crisis, including lowering corporate tax rates, promoting research and development, and improving public education. Will America act to preserve and reinvigorate its manufacturing? It is crucial to our social and economic well-being; but, Smil warns, the odds are no better than even.

  In Key to the City, legal scholar and architect Sara C. Bronin examines how zoning became such a prevailing force and reveals its impact—and its potential for good. Outdated zoning codes have maintained racial segregation, prioritized cars over people, and enabled great ecological harm. But, as Bronin argues, once we recognize the power of zoning, we can harness it to create the communities we desire, and deserve. Drawing on her own experience leading the overhaul of Hartford's zoning code and exploring the efforts of activists and city planners across the country, Bronin shows how new codes are reshaping our cities—from Baltimore to Chicago, Las Vegas to Minneapolis, and beyond. In Boston, a law fought for by a passionate group of organizers, farmers, and beekeepers is transforming the city into a haven for urban farming. In Tucson, zoning codes are mitigating the impacts of climate change and drought-proofing neighborhoods in peril. In Delray Beach, Florida, a new code aims to capture and maintain the town's colorful spirit through its architecture. 
   
   
   
  With clarity and insight, Bronin demystifies the power of an inscrutable organizing force in our lives and invites us to see zoning as a revolutionary vehicle for change. In Key to the City, she puts forward a practical and energizing vision for how we can reimagine our communities.

  Have you ever stopped to wonder how life has been for the people who have been on the frontline of fighting Covid-19 – their experiences, how they are treated, how they are able to cope with the extreme pressure, seeing death everywhere, and risking being infected all the time? 
  And have you wondered why nurses would be threatening to strike and others even strike in the middle of the pandemic to get a full glimpse of what has really been going on but has gone unreported? 
  If you’ve answered YES, keep reading...You Are About to Step into a Frontline Nurse’s World For A Moment, To Get A Glimpse Of Just How This Pandemic Has Been Brutal For The Frontline Nurses All Over The World! 
  The pandemic has been brutal for nurses and other frontline workers. With nurses always dealing with Covid-19 cases every single day, seeing patients in thousands develop moderate to severe symptoms and others dying of Covid-19 related complications, you can agree with me that nurses have really seen the pandemic from a completely different perspective compared to everyone else. 
  And this perspective hasn’t been one that anyone ‘outside’ could ever imagine. 
  From extremely long working hours, the scare of getting infected with Covid-19 to the trauma of seeing disease, sickness, and death everywhere to mistreatment by company representatives to being not welcomed by locals, to someone on the outside, the details in this book will literally make you wonder whether what’s in this book is really true. 
  Written by one of the many traveling nurses who has been to several states and seen it all, from New York to the Mexican border to Illinois and Texas, her account of her experiences in her line of duty will leave you with a new perspective about so many things about the pandemic.

  Gastroenterology - Digestive...

  Gastroenterology is the branch of medicine that focuses on the study, diagnosis, and treatment of disorders related to the digestive system. The digestive system, which consists of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract and associated organs such as the liver, pancreas, and gallbladder, plays a crucial role in processing food, absorbing nutrients, and eliminating waste. The complexity of the digestive system makes it susceptible to a wide range of conditions, from common issues like acid reflux to more complex diseases such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and liver cirrhosis. Understanding gastroenterology is vital for maintaining digestive health and effectively managing these disorders. 
  The field of gastroenterology has a broad scope, as it encompasses diseases and conditions affecting various parts of the digestive tract, including the mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, liver, pancreas, and gallbladder. Gastroenterologists are medical professionals trained to address these conditions, using a combination of diagnostic tools, clinical expertise, and advanced treatment techniques. In recent years, advances in endoscopic procedures, genetic research, and medical therapies have greatly improved our ability to diagnose and treat digestive disorders, allowing for better patient outcomes. 
  Digestive disorders can vary from mild and transient to chronic and debilitating. Some of the most common gastrointestinal issues include gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), peptic ulcers, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), and gallbladder diseases. These conditions often present with symptoms such as abdominal pain, bloating, diarrhea, constipation, and heartburn. In more severe cases, conditions like Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, and liver diseases such as hepatitis or cirrhosis can have long-term health consequences and require specialized care.
