  Dr. David Satcher is one of the most widely known and well-regarded physicians of our time. A former four-star admiral in the US Public Health Service Commissioned Corps, he served as the assistant secretary for health, the surgeon general of the United States, and the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention before founding the eponymous Satcher Health Leadership Institute at Morehouse School of Medicine. At the core of his impact on public health, he is also a lifelong leader for civil rights and health equity. 
   
   
   
  In My Quest for Health Equity, Dr. Satcher takes an inspiring and instructive look inside his fifty-year career to shed light on the challenge and burden of leadership. Explaining that he has thought of each leadership role—whether in academia, community, or government—as an opportunity to move the needle toward health equity, he shares the hard-won lessons he has learned over a lifetime in the medical field. 
   
   
   
  Drawing on his early memories, medical school days, and experience in the civil rights movement, Dr. Satcher touches on a number of topics, including the essential qualities of leadership; leading from science to policy to practice; the importance of clear communication and continual learning; the need for workplace discipline; confronting failure; team approaches to leadership; and much more.

  Surgical Techniques - From Basic...

  The practice of surgery is grounded in fundamental principles that ensure patient safety, procedural efficiency, and optimal outcomes. At the heart of surgical competence lies a thorough understanding of aseptic techniques, the correct use of surgical instruments, and comprehensive knowledge of human anatomy. These core components form the bedrock of every successful surgical procedure, regardless of its complexity or specialty. 
  Asepsis, or the absence of pathogenic microorganisms, is a critical concept in surgical practice. The development of aseptic techniques revolutionized surgery, dramatically reducing infection rates and improving survival outcomes. Maintaining a sterile environment involves multiple layers of precaution, starting with rigorous handwashing, proper surgical scrubbing, and the use of sterile gloves, gowns, and drapes. The operating room itself is a controlled environment where airflow systems, sterilized equipment, and strict protocols work together to minimize the risk of contamination. Every member of the surgical team plays a role in upholding these standards, as even a minor breach in sterile technique can lead to postoperative infections, delayed healing, and serious complications. 
  Equally important is the knowledge and precise handling of surgical instruments. Each instrument is designed for specific functions—cutting, clamping, retracting, or suturing—and understanding their proper use is vital for both efficiency and patient safety. Mastery of instruments such as scalpels, forceps, retractors, and needle holders allows the surgeon to perform procedures with accuracy and control. Proper instrument handling also reduces tissue trauma, minimizes bleeding, and helps maintain the sterile field. Additionally, the organization and preparation of surgical tools before, during, and after the procedure are key to smooth surgical workflows and quick response to intraoperative challenges.

  The tireless resistance of local communities fighting for ownership of America's third largest water system 
   
   
    
  Toxic Water, Toxic System exposes the consequences of a seemingly anonymous authoritarian state willing to maintain white supremacy at any cost—including poisoning an entire city and shutting off water to thousands of people. Weaving together narratives of frontline activists along with archival data, Michael Mascarenhas provides a powerful exploration of the political alliances and bureaucratic mechanisms that uphold inequality. 
   
   
    
  Drawing from three years of ethnographic fieldwork in Flint and Detroit, this book amplifies the voices of marginalized communities, particularly African American women, whose perspectives and labor have been consistently overlooked. Toxic Water, Toxic System offers a fresh perspective on the ties between urban austerity policies, environmental harm, and the advancement of white supremacist agendas in predominantly Black and brown cities.

  Artificial intelligence (AI) is a powerful general-purpose technology that is reshaping the modern economy, but misperceptions about AI stand in the way of harnessing it for the betterment of humanity. In Thrive, Ravi Bapna and Anindya Ghose counter the backlash by showcasing how AI is positively influencing the aspects of our daily lives that we care about most: our health and wellness, relationships, education, the workplace, and domestic life. In the process the authors help explain the underlying technology and give people the agency they need to shape the debate around how we should regulate AI to maximize its benefits and minimize its risks. 
   
   
   
  Bringing over two decades of experience with cutting-edge research, consulting, executive coaching, and advising to bear on the subject, Bapna and Ghose demystify the technology of AI itself. They offer a novel "House of AI" framework that encompasses traditional analytics, generative AI, and fair and ethical deployment of AI. Using examples from everyday life, they showcase how the modern AI-powered ecosystem fundamentally improves the emotional, physical, and material well-being of regular people across the globe. Thrive's mission is to educate the public about AI, shape realistic expectations, and foster informed discussions about a fast-emerging AI-shaped society.
