Beschreibung

"Paper Development" explores the fascinating history of paper, tracing its evolution from ancient writing surfaces like papyrus and parchment to its profound impact on global civilizations. The book highlights how the invention of paper in China during the Han Dynasty, often attributed to Cai Lun, revolutionized record-keeping and knowledge dissemination. Its accessibility facilitated the democratization of knowledge and spurred the printing revolution, fundamentally reshaping societies worldwide.

 
The book follows paper's journey along the Silk Road, detailing its adaptation and spread through the Islamic world and into Europe, where it fueled the Renaissance. It emphasizes the cultural exchanges and technological advancements associated with paper's adoption in different regions.

 
By integrating technological, cultural, and economic factors, "Paper Development" offers a comprehensive perspective on the iterative process of innovation that shaped paper's development over centuries. Structured chronologically with historical records and archaeological findings, this book provides a nuanced understanding of paper's significance. Each chapter builds upon the last, revealing how this seemingly simple material acted as a catalyst for societal advancement and continues to offer insights into the impact of technology on world history.

    Science, not speculative philosophy, is the only guide, however imperfect, to the nature of existence. Science culture uses and supports science. The social brain experiences free will and needs religious faith. Empathy is a choice based on intuition. We need a better scientific understanding of dogma and chauvinism, and this book explores these issues. It also describes the Crisis of the Anthropocene, described in under a hundred pages, is a wakeup that needs to overcome ignorance and naïve optimism, and reach our deepest emotions. Topics include climate change, biodiversity, pollutants, population, and political causes behind the collapse. This book also presents data from Internationalcomparisons.org that demonstrates that the US is neither advanced nor a democracy and has failed to deal with guns, reproductive rights, taxation, social welfare, fiscal discipline, and other issues. Even with these already significant problems Americans must face, there is even more: Trumpism and Putinism are existential threats to American freedom and democracy. This book presents a framework for others to act in the time of these issues.

    It’s become increasingly clear that healthcare workplaces are filled with non-inclusive behavior. People who are underrepresented because of their gender, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation and identity, disabilities, and other factors regularly face biases and challenges that hold them back from success. These include everything from harassment, dismissive behavior, and lack of credit for their contributions, to pay inequity, extra hurdles to advancement, and more. And while many organizations are looking to address these issues with top-down initiatives, there's also an important role for individuals to play in creating a more inclusive culture via everyday acts of allyship. 
    In this new book, inclusive workplace expert Karen Catlin brings her popular Better Allies® approach to healthcare workplaces. 
    Belonging in Healthcare provides a practical, research-based guide for how to be a better ally for coworkers who are from underrepresented groups. Filled with firsthand accounts from nurses, physicians, staff, administrators, and professors, combined with published studies, the book will help you spot situations where you can create a more inclusive workplace and everyday actions to reshape culture so everyone can thrive. 
    This is the book that allies in healthcare have been searching for: an industry-specific guide to the mindsets, strategies, and changes needed to make their workplaces more equitable from the inside out.

    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.
