How to Make a Killing - Blood...

Tom Mueller

Six decades ago, visionary doctors achieved the impossible: the humble kidney, acknowledged since ancient times to be as essential to life as the heart, became the first human organ to be successfully replaced with a machine. Yet huge dialysis corporations, ambitious doctor-entrepreneurs, and Beltway lobbyists soon turned this medical miracle into an early experiment in for-profit medicine—and one of the nation's worst healthcare catastrophes. 
 
 
 
With powerful insight and on-the-ground reporting, Tom Mueller introduces an unforgettable cast of characters. Heroic patients risk their lives to blow the whistle on how they've been mistreated. An unpaid activist living in a south Georgia trailer park fights to save patients from involuntary discharge from their lifesaving care. Industry insiders put their careers on the line to speak out about the endemic wrongs and pervasive inequality they've witnessed—and about dialysis executives who dress as musketeers and Star Wars characters to exhort their employees to more aggressive profit-seeking. 
 
 
 
How to Make a Killing reveals dialysis as a microcosm of American medicine and poses a vital challenge: find a way to fix dialysis, and we'll have a fighting chance of fixing our country's dysfunctional healthcare system as a whole, restoring patients, not profits, as its true purpose.

Are you confused by the blockchain?
Do you know what it is and how it works?
Do you want to know how it can change the world?
Then, you’ve chosen the right book.
Blockchain technology is not new. In fact, it was introduced in 2009 with the Bitcoin cryptocurrency, but since then, things have moved on at a significant pace. These days, many industries are developing their own blockchain-based solutions, looking to replace their existing database and record-keeping systems with one that works faster and is far more secure.

The blockchain has already changed the world in so many ways, and most of us aren’t even aware that the systems we’ve used every day have changed. Not every blockchain is decentralized; some still have a centralized intermediary. Not every blockchain is open-source. Banks, governments, and financial institutions are all maintaining control but in a more open, secure way that is far less open to fraud than previous financial transaction systems.

Mexico - Historical Milestones...

Anya Solace

Mexico’s history is a fascinating blend of ancient civilizations, colonial rule, and modern economic evolution. Situated at the crossroads of North and Central America, the country has played a crucial role in shaping regional and global events. From the sophisticated societies of the Mayans and Aztecs to the dramatic upheavals brought by Spanish colonization, each era has left an indelible mark on Mexico’s cultural and economic landscape. This book explores key milestones that have defined Mexico’s development and the economic transformations that continue to shape its future.
The origins of Mexico’s rich history begin with its diverse geography, which has influenced the rise of powerful civilizations. The Aztecs, with their vast empire and advanced societal structures, left behind a legacy of engineering, agriculture, and governance that still resonates today. Similarly, the Mayans developed sophisticated mathematical and astronomical systems, highlighting the intellectual achievements of pre-Columbian Mexico. These civilizations thrived for centuries before encountering the seismic changes that came with European arrival.
The Spanish conquest in the early 16th century marked a profound turning point. Hernán Cortés and his forces, aided by superior weaponry and alliances with indigenous groups, dismantled the Aztec Empire and imposed colonial rule. Spain’s domination reshaped Mexico’s social, economic, and political structures. The encomienda system placed indigenous populations under harsh labor conditions, while the introduction of Catholicism and European traditions altered local customs and belief systems. Despite the oppression, Mexico’s indigenous and mestizo populations adapted, creating a unique cultural fusion that remains a defining aspect of the country’s identity.
