    Byja Blueprint: An Introductory Guide to Direct Primary Care for Doctors, Patients, and Businesses by Dr. Byron Jasper is a comprehensive exploration into the innovative healthcare model of Direct Primary Care (DPC). This book seeks to educate readers on the fundamental differences between DPC and traditional healthcare models, highlighting the financial, operational, and relational benefits of adopting DPC. 
      
    Dr. Jasper presents Direct Primary Care as a transformational solution to the limitations of the traditional insurance-based medical system, which often results in rushed patient visits, excessive paperwork, and high costs. Through DPC, patients gain access to personalized, timely care with transparent pricing, while physicians experience reduced administrative burdens and increased job satisfaction. 
      
    This book explores various aspects of DPC, including its benefits for patients, such as more individualized care and direct access to their doctors, and for businesses, which can achieve significant cost savings and enhance employee health and productivity. It also addresses common misconceptions about Direct Primary Care, such as its perceived exclusivity and limitations in scope, by providing factual clarifications and real-life stories of patients and doctors thriving under this model. 
    Byja Blueprint serves as both an educational resource and an inspirational guide, advocating for a healthcare system that prioritizes the doctor-patient relationship and delivers high-quality, affordable care. Dr. Jasper's insights and practical advice make this book a valuable resource for healthcare professionals considering the DPC model, patients seeking a more tailored healthcare experience, and businesses looking for effective employee health solutions.

    “Tells the story of anger, disillusionment, and determination of Americans to develop a political movement to fight chemical pollution . . . timely.” —The Huffington PostThis book, named one of Booklist’s Top 10 books on sustainability in 2014, is the first to offer a comprehensive examination of the environmental health movement, which unlike many parts of the environmental movement, focuses on ways toxic chemicals and other hazardous agents in the environment effect human health and well-being. Born in 1978 when Lois Gibbs organized her neighbors to protest the health effects of a toxic waste dump in Love Canal, New York, the movement has spread across the United States and throughout the world. By placing human health at the center of its environmental argument, this movement has achieved many victories in community mobilization and legislative reform. In The Rise of the U.S. Environmental Health Movement, environmental health expert Kate Davies describes the movement’s historical, ideological, and cultural roots and analyzes its strategies and successes.“Kate Davies’ excellent book focuses on the role of health in the environmental health movement and encourages us to consider its origins and accomplishments . . . The Rise of the U.S. Environmental Health Movement looks both back and forward to challenge us to consider our current direction. In the future this book will provide readers with an important perspective on how the environmental health movement shaped our society.” —Toxipedia“A well-done history of America’s environmental health movement . . . offers readers valuable information on how grassroots organizing prevents harm from toxic exposures and leads to safe and healthy communities.” —Lois Marie Gibbs, Executive Director, Center for Health, Environment & Justice
