Sinopse

Amstrad: The Computer delves into the fascinating transformation of a British consumer electronics company into a pioneering force in 1980s personal computing. The book explores how Alan Sugar's vision of creating affordable, all-in-one computer systems revolutionized home computing accessibility, challenging established players like Commodore and Sinclair.

 
Through a combination of smart business strategy and innovative product design, Amstrad identified and filled a crucial market gap by integrating the monitor, keyboard, and storage device into a single, user-friendly package. The narrative traces Amstrad's evolution from the launch of the CPC 464 through the development of the PCW word processor series and into IBM-compatible computers.

 
Drawing from internal company documents, contemporary reviews, and interviews with key personnel, the book provides a comprehensive analysis of how Amstrad's approach to manufacturing and distribution disrupted industry norms. Particularly noteworthy is how the company's focus on practical user needs over technical sophistication helped democratize computer access for middle and working-class families.

 
Through detailed technical specifications, market analysis, and real-world case studies, the book illustrates how Amstrad's influence extended beyond mere product development to impact computer literacy, educational policy, and social mobility in Europe. The author skillfully balances technical detail with accessible explanations, making this historical account valuable for both technology enthusiasts and business readers interested in understanding how Amstrad's integrated approach to computing continues to influence modern technology trends.

    A moving cultural history of disability—and a powerful call to action to change how our medical system and society supports those with complex chronic conditions 
      
    From lupus to Lyme, invisible illness is often dismissed by everyone but the sufferers. Why does the medical establishment continually insist that, when symptoms are hard to explain, they are probably just in your head? 
      
    Inspired by her work with long COVID patients, medical anthropologist Emily Mendenhall traces the story of complex chronic conditions to show why both research and practice fail so many. Mendenhall points out disconnects between the reality of chronic disease—which typically involves multiple intersecting problems resulting in unique, individualized illness—and the assumptions of medical providers, who behave as though chronic diseases have uniform effects for everyone. And while invisible illnesses have historically been associated with white middle-class women, being believed that you are sick is even more difficult for patients whose social identities and lived experiences may not align with dominant medical thought. Weaving together cultural history with intimate interviews, Invisible Illness upholds the experiences of those living with complex illness to expose the failures of the American healthcare system—and how we can do better. 
      
    "This book challenges us to address discrimination in clinical care for people with complex chronic conditions like long Covid, questioning why some are believed while others aren't—a persistent disparity in US healthcare."—Oni Blackstock, primary care and HIV physician and founder of Health Justice

    In Shared Voices, author and entrepreneur Heidi Raines shows how to systematically ensure the safety of patients and staff at healthcare facilities. Most medical errors occur because of flawed systems, not reckless practitioners, and systems can learn from errors. A just culture of care that protects everyone is possible through a framework of near-miss and incident reporting, equitable follow-up, analysis, and learning. Heidi, the founder and CEO of Performance Health Partners, has dedicated her career to designing solutions for healthcare organizations in need of knowledge and technology to deliver safe, equitable, and quality care. In this book, she argues that the way to foster more safety in healthcare facilities is to create organizational structures centered around reporting incidents and near-misses, then use systems thinking to resolve and prevent issues. And the best path to do this is to give voices to all healthcare workers by encouraging them to speak out and report observations about their work. Active staff engagement not only keeps patients and employees safe, but it also combats burnout and turnover. As points of care grow and training levels vary, it is paramount for healthcare leaders to establish a framework that sets caregivers up for success at every level and in every type of healthcare organization. Modernization may seem labored at first, but its longer-term results—including overall reduction in serious safety events, and the saving of lives—are ultimately the drivers of innovation. Shared Voices is Heidi Raines’ latest contribution to the world of healthcare patient and employee safety. She holds a Preceptor Faculty position at Tulane University’s Master of Health Administration program and serves as Board President of the American College of Healthcare Executives Women’s Healthcare Executive Network. Raines has received awards for innovation and executive leadership and was named one of the Top 100 Influential Entrepreneurs in Technology.
