  Urban Infrastructure - Planning...

  Urban infrastructure forms the backbone of modern cities, shaping their development and function. It encompasses the essential systems and structures that ensure the smooth operation of urban life, from transportation networks and energy systems to water supply and waste management. The presence of effective infrastructure directly influences a city's ability to grow, innovate, and provide a high quality of life for its residents. In an increasingly urbanized world, the need for robust and efficient urban infrastructure has never been more critical. 
  Defining urban infrastructure is the first step in understanding its importance. At its core, urban infrastructure refers to the fundamental physical and organizational structures needed for a city to function. These include transportation systems like roads, bridges, and railways; utilities such as electricity, water, and sewage; and the telecommunications networks that connect people to one another. In more advanced urban environments, smart technologies, energy-efficient solutions, and waste recycling systems are becoming integral to how cities operate. This broad and diverse range of components forms the lifeblood of cities, supporting both day-to-day operations and long-term growth. 
  The role of urban infrastructure in city development cannot be overstated. Well-planned infrastructure enables cities to support larger populations, fuel economic growth, and adapt to changing environmental conditions. For instance, efficient public transportation systems reduce congestion and pollution while improving access to essential services. Likewise, a reliable energy grid ensures that businesses can operate without disruption, fostering innovation and productivity. As urban populations continue to grow, the demand for sustainable and resilient infrastructure becomes even more pressing.

  A fast-paced account of a giant of twentieth century medicine, First the Patient details how David Nathan saved patients with his medical skill and rescued institutions with his visionary leadership. 
   
   
   
  The miraculous triumphs of modern medicine—antibiotics, insulin, cancer cures, longer and better lives—are the fruits of its firm grounding in science. But too often, the healing touch, the empathy of a physician for the patient, and the art of medicine, can be neglected in pursuit of breakthroughs. 
   
   
   
  David Nathan never accepted that bargain. A brilliant hematologist thoroughly steeped in scientific rigor with a research track record to prove it, Nathan was above all a humanist, a caring physician who never failed to put the patient first even when that patient was his research subject. This same humanism, along with the profound psychological insights it affords, propelled Nathan to the top ranks of academic leadership. He served first at Boston Children's Hospital, then at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute where, as president, he rescued a hospital on the brink of extinction after its doctors administered a fatal chemotherapy overdose. First the Patient is the story of a physician who left an indelible imprint on medicine through his relentless focus on the patient.

  What's Out of Order Here? -...

  "What makes this book special is the richness of the illustrations of how symptoms of illness embody concrete events in a family and how family constellations can bring this to light with a respect that allows symptoms to recede and disappear. As far as I am aware, this has never before been identified and illustrated so clearly. This book is a first class pioneering effort. Alongside new insights, it also details the concrete steps that have led to new and often surprising resolutions."
  
  Bert Hellinger
  
  When a machine is out of order, we look for the broken part and attempt repairs. When something goes awry with the human mind, body and spirit, we need to look with a more holistic view for solutions. This book presents the experiences of a physician and psychotherapist who has gone far beyond the 'parts repair' approach to medical treatment to look not only at the whole person, but also the entire family system using the method of family constellations.
  
  The book is comprised of two parts. The first is a basic explanation of the approach, which was first developed by Bert Hellinger. In the second part of the book, practical applications of the method are documented in a wide variety of case studies. Illness and symptoms are viewed in the context of larger systems, and constellations are used to identify disturbances and restore a more health-supporting order.
  
  This report on the method of family constellations is a fascinating trip through theory and practice that offers a new concept of healing for lay readers as well as professionals.
  The Authors:
  Ilse Kutschera, M. D., born in Vienna, Austria in 1936, studied medicine in Graz. She worked as a physician until 1998, when she retired from her position as head of a rehabilitation clinic to devote her time to her private psychotherapy practice. During her career, she had developed a keen interest in psychotherapy and trained in various approaches including primal therapy, transactional analysis, gestalt therapy, NLP and Bert Hellinger's constellation work. This book is an expression of her interest in integrating psychotherapy and classical medicine.
  Christine Brugger, born in Germany in 1962, is head of a radio station in the East Tyrol in Austria. Through her friendship with Dr Kutschera, she became interested in writing about constellation work in the medical field. The book is the result of many interviews, discussions and recorded case histories.
