Synopsis

"Brainscapes" invites readers on a captivating journey through the intricate landscape of the human brain, exploring three fundamental concepts: neuroplasticity, cognitive mapping, and the brain-body connection. This accessible guide unravels the complexities of our most vital organ, challenging long-held beliefs about cognitive development and offering new perspectives on holistic health.

 
The book progresses from basic brain anatomy to in-depth explorations of how our brains adapt, create mental representations, and interact with our physical well-being. By framing the brain as a terrain to be explored, "Brainscapes" makes abstract neuroscientific concepts tangible and memorable. It draws upon cutting-edge research, including neuroimaging studies and case studies of individuals with extraordinary cognitive abilities, to support its central thesis that understanding the brain's landscape is key to unlocking human potential.

 
What sets this book apart is its innovative use of metaphor and visualization, making it accessible to a wide audience while maintaining scientific rigor. As readers navigate through chapters on neuroplasticity, cognitive mapping, and the brain-body connection, they gain practical insights for improving memory, maintaining cognitive health, and managing stress.

 
"Brainscapes" not only illuminates the geography of the mind but also inspires a deeper appreciation for the remarkable organ that defines our humanity.

    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.
