  An engaging account of innovation in healthcare and why the results fall short for patients and society. 
   
   
   
  The evolution of the cell phones we carry in our pockets demonstrates that quality can increase while prices fall. Why doesn't healthcare also get better and cheaper? 
   
   
   
  In Why Not Better and Cheaper?, James B. Rebitzer and Robert S. Rebitzer offer an answer to this question. Bringing together research on incentives, social norms, and market competition, they argue that the healthcare system generates the wrong kinds of innovation. It is too easy to profit from low-value innovations and too hard to profit from innovations that reduce the costs of care. The result is a healthcare system that is profusely innovative yet remarkably ineffective in discovering ways to deliver increased value at lower cost. 
   
   
   
  Why Not Better and Cheaper? sheds new light on the trajectory of innovation in healthcare, and how to point innovation in a better direction.

  Transportation is the lifeblood of urban ecosystems, a complex network of movement that defines how cities breathe, function, and evolve. More than mere infrastructure of roads, rails, and vehicles, urban transportation represents a sophisticated dance of human mobility, technological innovation, economic strategy, and social connectivity. This comprehensive exploration delves into the intricate world of Urban Transportation, examining the economic dynamics, technological transformations, and emerging paradigms that are reshaping how people and goods move through increasingly complex metropolitan landscapes. 
  The narrative of urban mobility is a profound reflection of human ingenuity and adaptation, where technological advances, environmental challenges, and changing social needs converge to reimagine transportation systems. By tracing the historical development, current challenges, and future possibilities of urban transportation, this book unveils the multifaceted strategies that cities are developing to create more efficient, sustainable, and inclusive mobility networks. Readers will journey through the intersections of technological innovation, economic planning, environmental sustainability, and social equity—discovering how emerging transportation solutions are not just about moving from point A to point B, but about fundamentally redesigning the way cities function, connect, and support human potential in an increasingly complex and dynamic urban world.

  When you sit down at a play, movie, or concert—or even in front of the TV or scrolling on your phone—you are taking part in one of the oldest and most mysterious forms of human behavior. Being part of an audience is an age-old experience that we all crave, one that has evolved from amphitheaters to screens. Right This Way is a pop history of audiences through the ages. Playbill editor Robert Viagas unfolds the unique aspects of what he calls “audiencing” with stories from the age of the Greeks to the world of Zoom. He walks through the different types of audiences and the history of their responses, what science has to say about how our brains respond to what they see and the reactions of the people around them, and why, during COVID-19, people risked a deadly virus to be part of a crowd. Right This Way explores what the audience experience brings us and how it may evolve in the 21st century.

  Every child is born with a spark—a unique gift waiting to shine. As parents, we often marvel at the small things our children do. A scribble that tells a story, a question that shows deep curiosity, a dance that seems to come from the heart—these moments are more than just childhood innocence. They are glimpses of the gem within. 
  But how often do we pause to truly observe? In the rush of daily life, it’s easy to miss the subtle signals that hint at a child’s hidden talents. What if, with a little patience and a lot of love, we could unearth those treasures and help our children thrive in ways we never imagined? 
  This book is not about turning children into prodigies or pressuring them to succeed. It’s about discovery—finding the joy in helping your child explore their passions, strengths, and unique potential. It’s about listening to the unspoken language of their play, their choices, and their dreams. 
  "Finding the Gem" is your guide to this journey. Through practical techniques, inspiring stories, and thoughtful insights, you’ll learn how to observe, nurture, and support your child in ways that let their natural abilities shine. This is not a roadmap to perfection; it’s an invitation to partner with your child on their journey of growth and self-discovery. 
  Every gem is unique, and so is every child. Let’s begin the adventure of finding and polishing the gem within your child, so they can sparkle in a way that is truly their own.

  Poor Folk

  Fyodor Dostoevsky

  "We are poor people, we are simple people, but we have hearts and souls too."
  
  Before the psychological labyrinths of Crime and Punishment, a young Dostoevsky captured the world's attention with this exquisite epistolary novel. Through a series of increasingly desperate letters, we witness the relationship between Makar Devushkin, a lowly, aging copy clerk, and Varvara Dobroselova, a fragile young seamstress. Living in squalid rooms across a dismal St. Petersburg courtyard, they exchange words of comfort, shared bread, and the flickering hope of a better life. Poor Folk is a searingly intimate portrait of the "little man" struggling to maintain his humanity in a society that views him as nothing more than a smudge on a ledger.
  
  The Birth of Psychological Realism: Dostoevsky takes the traditional "sentimental" epistolary form and infuses it with a brutal, modern realism. He elevates the clerk—a figure usually mocked in Russian literature—to a tragic hero. Makar's obsession with his social standing and his desperate attempts to appear "respectable" even as he starves reveal the deep psychological scars of class inequality.
  
  A Tragedy of Self-Sacrifice: As their financial situation deteriorates, the letters become a battleground between love and survival. Makar's selfless devotion to Varvara leads him to ruin, while Varvara is forced to make a heart-shattering choice between the man who loves her and the safety of a wealthy, predatory suitor. It is a story that proves the greatest tragedies are often the quietest ones, occurring behind closed doors in the poorest corners of the city.
  
  Witness the soul of a genius in its first bloom. Purchase "Poor Folk" today and experience the novel that changed Russian literature forever.
