  A way to upgrade your orthodontic business and work less using a system that grows your practice and profits.Level the Curve, Data-Driven Practice Management Principles to Compete in Today’s Changing Orthodontic Landscape shows you how to upgrade your practice for profitability. Tech-savvy orthodontist and entrepreneur Dr. Jamie Reynolds has teamed up with digital-stats guru Oliver Level the Curve, Data-Driven Practice Management Principles to Compete in Today’s Changing Orthodontic Landscape shows you how to upgrade your practice for profitability. Together, they’ve rewritten the rules for running a more profitable orthodontic practice. Using data analytics, the practice management principles they teach in this book are statistical and fact driven. And they’re derived from the largest and cleanest data set of consumer buying habits ever collected in the orthodontic space. That feat was achieved using new software developed with the help of fellow-orthodontist Jeff Kozlowski and engineer Dave Ternan. After crunching the numbers, the data revealed the most effective approach to running a successful practice.Now this data-driven management approach has facilitated the global adoption of data analytics and technology innovation in the orthodontic industry. Coauthors Jamie Reynolds and Oliver Gelles have used the big data to see what works and what doesn’t in a practice. And they’ve simplified it down to a statistical science. Their proven, data-driven system of more effective practice management is the new gold standard for orthodontists. The system is increasing starts, production, and profits in practices all over the country. And a trove of data proves it can work far better than the traditional orthodontic business model to make your existing practice more profitable.Jumpstart your practice’s profitability using a system based on data sets collected from 430,000 patient starts and more than $2.2 billion in orthodontic production.Take the guesswork out of orthodontic business management and eliminate the costly “trial and error” approach that’s draining your team.Learn how to immediately increase starts by implementing a unique payment solution based on patient flexibility.See how to apply tech-and-data-driven solutions that help you generate a steady cash flow, dependable starts, improved collections, and reduced delinquency.Discover how to process insurance claims without wasting your team’s time and slowing their outreach to new patients.This book provides advanced research and clinical experience providing solutions for the real problems you’re facing in your orthodontic practice right now. But just solving problems isn’t enough. This new system offers you the advantage of time-tested methods that are currently growing hundreds of other practices. Why not yours? The strategies in Level the Curve can take your orthodontic practice to the next level.

  Birdsplaining - A Natural History

  Winner of the 2021 New Welsh Writing Awards: Rheidol Prize for Prose with a Welsh Theme or Setting
  'Vivid, quick and iridescent, Birdsplaining is an absolute kingfisher of a book' – Mike Parker
  A wren in the house foretells a death, while a tech-loving parrot aids a woman's recovery. Crows' misbehaviour suggests how the 'natural' order, ranked by men, may be challenged. A blur of bunting above an unassuming bog raises questions about how nature reserves were chosen. Should the oriole be named 'green' or golden? The flaws of field guides across decades prove that this is a feminist issue. A buzzard, scavenging a severed ewe's leg, teaches taboos about curiosity.
  Whose poo is the mammal scat uncovered in the attic, and should the swallows make their home inside yours? The nightjar's churring brings on unease at racism and privilege dividing nature lovers, past and present. The skin of a Palestine sunbird provokes concern at the colonial origins of ornithology. And when a sparrowhawk makes a move on a murmuration, the starlings show how threat – in the shape of flood, climate change or illness – may be faced down.
  Jasmine Donahaye is in pursuit of feeling 'sharply alive', understanding things on her own terms and undoing old lessons about how to behave. Here, she finally confronts fear: of violence and of the body's betrayals, daring at last, to 'get things wrong'.
  Roaming across Wales, Scotland and California, she is unapologetically focused on the uniqueness of women's experience of nature and the constraints placed upon it. Sometimes bristling, always ethical, Birdsplaining upends familiar ways of seeing the natural world.
  'Unusual, vivid… remarkably easy-to-read & enjoyable. Doesn't shy away from taking on difficult subjects… A means for personal reflection.' – BTO News [British Trust for Ornithology]
  'An erudite, bold, questing and valid collection of beautifully written essays. Whilst one eye stays focused on the injustices and cruelties of the world, the other gulps in its jewels and preciousness. Moving, stirring, and vital.' – Niall Griffiths
  'Superb… by turns moving, funny, illuminating… and… thought-provoking' – Katherine Stansfield
  'Upends familiar ways of seeing the natural world ― and in doing so, creates its own ecological niche' – Karen Lloyd, Caught by the River
  'A curiosity and passion so unapologetically alive that her words form wings' – Lotte Williams, Nation.Cymru
  'Neither human-centred nor its opposite. Although she explores human grief, violence and recovery, Donahaye also has a beautifully conveyed passion for the unromantic aspects of the environment… She bridges the very gap [in nature writing] that she identifies.' – Saskia McCracken, The Welsh Agenda
  'Whilst birds might not provide the answer to the meaning of life for Donahaye, they do have a part to play in finding meaning IN life, whether that be through personal symbolism and anecdotal encounters, or in larger questions about power and responsibility.' – Gwales.com
  'A fresh way of looking at nature writing, a deeply personal account that embraces its own subjectivity' – Zoe Kramer, Wales Arts Review
  'This is a beautiful collection where the nonhuman appears as a close neighbour… [and which] searches for hope and resilience in times of risk.' – Yvonne Reddick, New Welsh Reader

  Racing To Extinction - Why...

  Global warming, loss of biodiversity, and toxic chemicals are undermining the ability of the planet to support complex life. Routinely overlooked in causing our current predicament is that several million years of evolution has predisposed Homo sapiens, both anatomically and behaviorally, to vanishing.A former endangered species biologist looks at the ongoing sixth mass extinction through the prism of human behavior, personal experience, ecology, evolutionary biology, and contemporary conservation efforts. He provides new insights into factors triggering the current mass extinction event and examines conventional wisdom regarding human intelligence. The author suggests—as humanity edges ever closer to disappearing forever—a clear-eyed, real-world rationale for resignation but also acceptance.Foreward by Sue Coulstock; Foreward narrated by Heather Henderson
