Summary

In "On Light and Other High Frequency Phenomena," Nikola Tesla explores the profound implications of electromagnetic waves, delving into the nature of light and its various high-frequency manifestations. His literary style is both technical and poetic, framing complex scientific ideas in an accessible manner for readers who are both laypersons and aspiring scientists. The book is a culmination of Tesla's groundbreaking experiments and theories, contextualized within the burgeoning field of electrical engineering and contemporary scientific discourse of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, offering insights that predate modern developments in optics and wireless technology. Nikola Tesla, a visionary inventor and electrical engineer, is renowned for his contributions to the development of alternating current and wireless transmission of energy. His passion for understanding the unseen forces of nature, combined with his experiences of remarkable successes and profound struggles, motivated him to articulate his ideas on light as both a physical phenomenon and a metaphor for innovation. Tesla's interdisciplinary approach draws influences from physics, philosophy, and metaphysics, making him a unique figure in the landscape of scientific thought. This book is highly recommended for readers interested in the intersections of science, technology, and philosophy. Enthusiasts of Tesla's work will find his eloquent prose illuminating, while scholars will appreciate the foundational concepts that continue to influence contemporary research in electromagnetism and photonics. "On Light and Other High Frequency Phenomena" is not just a scientific treatise; it is a remarkable journey into the mind of a genius.

    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.

You are coaching a new Product Owner doing release planning for the first time.  There are three politically powerful stakeholders who each wan their project included as your team's highest priority.  It is clear that due to the lack of resources it will be a miracle if even one of the enhancements can be delivered.   
The Product Owner asks you what should he do?   Which project should he pick and how can he avoid trouble from the two stakeholders who must be disappointed? 
This case and the others in the series come from the real-world experiences of a group of Scrum professionals who meet regularly to discuss the Scrum Framework and how to apply it to actual situations they have encountered.  These discussions have been led since 2015 by Frederik Mark Fowler, A Doctor of Scrum and Holder of the Professional Scrum Master level III certification awarded by Scrum.org.  Fred has worked with the Scrum Framework for almost 20 years and has trained more then 300 people to become Scrum Masters and Product Owners.
