Sinopse

"Fire-Safe Wood" explores the science and technology behind enhancing wood's fire resistance, transforming it into a viable and safe building material. It challenges the perception of wood as inherently risky by delving into innovative fire-retardant treatments.

 
Did you know that understanding the chemical processes of wood combustion is crucial for developing effective prevention strategies? Or that advancements allow wood to potentially meet, and even exceed, the fire-safety standards of other materials?

 
The book progresses logically, starting with the principles of fire science and wood combustion, then moves to categorizing various fire-retardant treatments by their effectiveness, durability, and environmental impact. Finally, it examines practical construction considerations, including design guidelines and real-world case studies.

 
This approach offers a comprehensive understanding of how treated wood can be safely integrated into modern construction.

How to Make a Killing - Blood...

Tom Mueller

Six decades ago, visionary doctors achieved the impossible: the humble kidney, acknowledged since ancient times to be as essential to life as the heart, became the first human organ to be successfully replaced with a machine. Yet huge dialysis corporations, ambitious doctor-entrepreneurs, and Beltway lobbyists soon turned this medical miracle into an early experiment in for-profit medicine—and one of the nation's worst healthcare catastrophes. 
 
 
 
With powerful insight and on-the-ground reporting, Tom Mueller introduces an unforgettable cast of characters. Heroic patients risk their lives to blow the whistle on how they've been mistreated. An unpaid activist living in a south Georgia trailer park fights to save patients from involuntary discharge from their lifesaving care. Industry insiders put their careers on the line to speak out about the endemic wrongs and pervasive inequality they've witnessed—and about dialysis executives who dress as musketeers and Star Wars characters to exhort their employees to more aggressive profit-seeking. 
 
 
 
How to Make a Killing reveals dialysis as a microcosm of American medicine and poses a vital challenge: find a way to fix dialysis, and we'll have a fighting chance of fixing our country's dysfunctional healthcare system as a whole, restoring patients, not profits, as its true purpose.
