This classic introduces the concepts and uses of probability theory. It demonstrates, without the use of higher mathematics, the application of probability to games of chance, physics, reliability of witnesses, astronomy, insurance, democratic government, and many other areas. It also shows how scientists can express complex ideas in simple terms.
Great medical practices look and sound different than their competition. Sure, profitability contributes to greatness, as does superior medical expertise—but these are not enough. Great medical practices put a high priority on delivering an extraordinary experience—for both their patients and their internal staff. As a result, they are better positioned to withstand the unique pressures and demands that occur in the medical field. They are less vulnerable to external changes, and stronger internally. Healthcare professionals at great medical practices experience less stress on the job and treat each other with more respect.Great medical practices create an experience so positive that patients can't stop talking about it. Patients talk to friends, relatives, and acquaintances about the care they received. They can’t help posting nice things about this great practice on social media. And they can't imagine recommending anyone else.Patient Care The Sandler Way shows how to create this experience. It offers timeless, proven principles for effective patient care, based on the communication skills and success principles of the Sandler Selling System.Ver libro

Before the podcast and the smartphone, there was the cassette tape and the Walkman — two devices that, although not considered much today, were revolutionary. They were recordable, rewritable, spliceable, compact, and mobile. For the first time, they allowed you to move through the world and listen to a voice speaking only to you. These cassette tapes brought us together, pulled us apart, and forever changed how we say those three simple words, ‘I love you.’ In five episodes from around the world, Mixtape explores the impact the cassette had and continues to have today.Ver libro
Apologia’s award-winning Advanced Biology curriculum is written to your student in a conversational tone and cultivates independent learning. The lessons and illustrations are also designed to engage them both analytically and creatively. This course will provide them with an advanced understanding of biology while also preparing them for college-level biology and the ACT. They’ll learn about the body’s organ systems, ranging from the digestive and respiratory systems to the endocrine and lymphatic systems.

Kathleen Dorothy Blackburn was the oldest of five children, a twelve-year-old from Lubbock, Texas, whose evangelical family eschewed public education for homeschooling, and wove improbable scientific theories into literal interpretations of the Bible. Then her father, a former air force pilot, was diagnosed with cancer at the age of thirty-eight, and, "it was like throwing gasoline on the Holy Spirit." Stirred by her mother, the family committed to an extreme diet and sought deliverance from equally extreme sources: a traveling tent preacher, a Malaysian holy man, a local faith-healer who led services called "Miracles on 34th Street."What they didn't know was that their lives were entangled with a larger, less visible environmental catastrophe. Firefighting foams containing carcinogenic compounds had contaminated the drinking water of every military site where her father worked. Commonly referred to as "forever chemicals," the presence of PFAS in West Texas besieged a landscape already burdened with vanishing water, taking up residence in wells and in the bloodstreams of people who lived there. An arresting portrait of the pernicious creep of decline, and a powerful cry for environmental justice, Loose of Earth captures the desperate futility and unbending religious faith that devastated a family, leaving them waiting for a miracle that would never come.Ver libro
