    Yellowstone was old long before anyone imagined a national park.
    
    Beneath its forests and snow lies a restless volcanic system. Across its valleys move bison, elk, wolves, bears, rivers, fire, and migrations that refuse to obey boundaries. Across thousands of years, Indigenous peoples knew and used this country before explorers, railroads, soldiers, tourists, scientists, and lawmakers transformed the way it was understood.
    
    William Stanek's The Living Yellowstone Biography tells the sweeping life story behind America's first national park-from fire beneath the earth and life above it to the invention of Yellowstone, the mistakes made in managing it, the return of wolves, the changing meaning of wilderness, and the unfinished work of protecting a living system.
    
    This is Yellowstone beyond the postcard: ancient, contested, resilient, and still becoming.

    Health care reform efforts are difficult to achieve and have been historically undermined by their narrow scope. In The Present Illness, Martin F. Shapiro, MD, PhD, MPH, weaves together history, sociology, extensive research, and his own experiences as a physician to explore the broad range of afflictions impairing US health care and explains why we won't be able to fix the system without making significant changes across society. With a sharp eye and ready humor, Shapiro dissects the ways all groups participating—clinicians and their organizations, medical schools and their faculty, hospitals and clinical corporations, scientists and the National Institutes of Health, insurers and manufacturers, governments and their policies, and also patients and the public—shape and reinforce a dysfunctional system. Shapiro identifies three major problems stymieing reform: commodification of care; values, expectations, unmet needs, attitudes, and personal limitations of participants; and toxic relationships and communication among these groups.Shapiro lays out a sweeping agenda of concrete actions to address the many factors contributing to the system's failings. Highlighting the interconnectedness of both the problems and potential solutions, he warns that piecemeal reform efforts will continue to be undermined by those who believe they have something to gain from the status quo. Although overhauling our health care system is daunting, Shapiro nonetheless concludes that we must push forward with a far more comprehensive effort in all sectors of health care and throughout society to create a system that is humane, effective, and just.

    Organizations have more data at their fingertips than ever, and their ability to put that data to productive use should be a key source of sustainable competitive advantage. Yet, business leaders looking to tap into a steady and manageable stream of "actionable insights" often, instead, get blasted with a deluge of dashboards, chart-filled slide decks, and opaque machine learning jargon that leaves them asking, "So what?" 
     
     
     
    Analytics the Right Way is a guide for these leaders. It provides a clear and practical approach to putting analytics to productive use with a three-part framework that brings together the realities of the modern business environment with the deep truths underpinning statistics, computer science, machine learning, and artificial intelligence. The result: a pragmatic and actionable guide for delivering clarity, order, and business impact to an organization's use of data and analytics. 
     
     
     
    The book uses real-world examples from the authors' direct experiences—working inside organizations, as external consultants, and as educators—to empower the listener to put foundational analytical and statistical concepts to effective use in a business context.
