  Signed on November 24, 1922, the Colorado River Compact is body of laws colloquially called the "Law of the River" that governs how human beings use water from the river system dubbed the "American Nile." No fewer than forty million people have come to rely on the Colorado River system in modern times—a system immersed in an unprecedented, unrelenting megadrought for more than two decades. Attempting to navigate this "new normal," policymakers are negotiating new management rules for the river system, a process coinciding with the compact's centennial that must be completed by 2026. 
   
   
   
  Animated by this remarkable confluence of events, Cornerstone at the Confluence leverages the centennial year to reflect on the compact and broader "Law of the River" to envision the future. It is a volume inviting dialogue about how the river system's flows should be apportioned given climate change, what should be done about environmental issues such as ecosystem restoration and biodiversity protection, and how long-standing issues of water justice facing Native American communities should be addressed. 
   
   
   
  These topics touch on the concept of "equity" embedded within the compact—a concept that tees up what is perhaps the foundational question confronted by Cornerstone at the Confluence: Who should have a seat at the table of Colorado River governance?

  "Lean Leadership and Management: A Practical Guide to Streamlining Success" serves as a comprehensive manual for leaders looking to implement lean principles in their organizations effectively. This guide breaks down the theoretical underpinnings of lean methodologies into actionable strategies, demonstrating how leaders can cultivate environments that embrace continuous improvement, efficiency, and customer-centricity. 
  The book starts with a deep dive into the fundamentals of lean thinking, explaining the core principles such as value stream mapping, waste elimination, and the continuous improvement process known as Kaizen. It emphasizes how these principles are not just tools but part of a broader philosophical approach to management that requires a change in mindset from top leadership levels down to frontline employees. 
  One of the standout features of the guide is its focus on the role of leadership in lean transformations. It argues that successful lean implementation is less about the tools and techniques and more about the behavior and commitment of the leaders. The book presents the traits of effective lean leaders—such as humility, curiosity, and empathy—and illustrates how these qualities are crucial in fostering a culture that is open to change and continuous improvement. 
  Practical case studies are scattered throughout the text, providing real-world examples of challenges and solutions in implementing lean strategies. These case studies help bridge the gap between theory and practice, showing readers how various concepts can be applied in different organizational contexts. Additionally, the guide includes templates and checklists to help leaders assess their current practices, plan lean initiatives, and measure their progress over time.

  Grey’s Anatomy meets One L in this psychiatrist’s charming and poignant memoir about his residency at Harvard. Adam Stern was a student at a state medical school before being selected to train as a psychiatry resident at one of the most prestigious programs in the country. His new and initially intimidating classmates were high achievers from the Ivy League and other elite universities around the nation. Faculty raved about the group as though the residency program had won the lottery, nicknaming them “The Golden Class,” but would Stern ever prove that he belonged? In his memoir, Stern pulls back the curtain on the intense and emotionally challenging lessons he and his fellow doctors learned while studying the human condition, and ultimately, the value of connection. The narrative focuses on these residents, their growth as doctors, and the life choices they make as they try to survive their grueling four-year residency. Rich with drama, insight, and emotion, Stern shares engrossing stories of life on the psychiatric wards, as well as the group’s experiences as they grapple with impostor syndrome and learn about love and loss. Most importantly, as they study how to help distressed patients in search of a better life, they discover the meaning of failure and the preciousness of success.  Stern’s growth as a doctor, and as a man, have readers rooting for him and his patients, and ultimately find their own hearts fuller for having taken this journey with him.
