Beschreibung

Substance Abuse Economics examines the significant economic burden that drug abuse places on healthcare systems and society, bridging the gap between public health and economic stability. It meticulously quantifies costs, demonstrating how substance abuse drains resources, strains infrastructure, and diminishes productivity. The book highlights that understanding these economic impacts is crucial for informed policymaking and effective prevention strategies.

 
For instance, the study emphasizes the significant costs of healthcare associated with substance abuse, from emergency room visits to long-term treatment programs. The book explores direct healthcare costs, indirect costs like lost productivity, and broader societal costs involving law enforcement and social welfare. It uses cost-analysis methodologies to measure the economic impacts of substance abuse, drawing on data from national health surveys and administrative claims.

 
The analysis reveals the impact of substance abuse on labor markets, economic growth, and the criminal justice system. By translating complex concepts into accessible language, this book provides policymakers, healthcare professionals, and the public with the tools needed for informed decision-making.

 
The book progresses logically, beginning with fundamental concepts of health economics and cost-analysis, then moving to direct healthcare costs, indirect costs, and societal costs. It concludes with practical recommendations for policymakers and healthcare providers, addressing ongoing debates such as the cost-effectiveness of treatment modalities. This approach ensures a comprehensive understanding of the economic dimensions of substance abuse, offering valuable insights for resource allocation and intervention strategies.

The Dawn of a Mindful Universe -...

Marcelo Gleiser

An award-winning astronomer and physicist’s spellbinding and urgent call for a new Enlightenment and the recognition of the preciousness of life using reason and curiosity—the foundations of science—to study, nurture, and ultimately preserve humanity as we face the existential crisis of climate change.  
 
Since Copernicus, humanity has increasingly seen itself as adrift, an insignificant speck within a large, cold universe. Brazilian physicist, astronomer, and winner of the 2019 Templeton Prize Marcelo Gleiser argues that it is because we have lost the spark of the Enlightenment that has guided human development over the past several centuries. While some scientific efforts have been made to overcome this increasingly bleak perspective—the ongoing search for life on other planets, the recent idea of the multiverse—they have not been enough to overcome the core problem: we’ve lost our moral mission and compassionate focus in our scientific endeavors. 
Gleiser argues that we’re using the wrong paradigm to relate to the universe and our position in it. In this deeply researched and beautifully rendered book, he calls for us to embrace a new life-centric perspective, one which recognizes just how rare and precious life is and why it should be our mission to preserve and nurture it. The Dawn of a Mindful Universe addresses the current environmental and scientific impasses and how the scientific community can find solutions to them. 
Gleiser’s paradigm rethinks the ideals of the Enlightenment, and proposes a new direction for humanity, one driven by human reason and curiosity whose purpose is to save civilization itself. Within this model, we can once again see ourselves as the center of the universe—the place where life becomes conscious—and regain a clear moral compass which can be used to guide both science and the politics around it.

The Chimpanzee Whisperer - A...

Stany Nyandwi, David Blissett

Earphones Award Winner from Audiofile Magazine!Stany Nyandwi’s gift for communicating with chimpanzees is so special that world-renowned primatologist Dr. Jane Goodall has called him a “chimpanzee whisperer.” His skills and devotion to these creatures—our closest living relatives, with whom we share 98.7 percent of our DNA—have earned him international awards and sent him on travels within Africa and around the world. But he began life in poverty, born and raised in a dirt-floor, straw-roofed hut in rural Burundi. The Chimpanzee Whisperer is the story of his astonishing life journey."Narrator Dion Graham so inhabits the memoir that listeners easily could swear he's the author. He adopts an accent that to Western ears sounds authentic without affectation or loss of understanding. A truly marvelous pairing." - Audiofile MagazineReceiving only an elementary education before he quit school, Stany Nyandwi began caring for orphaned and rescued chimps in Burundi. When the country descended into civil war and genocide, he was forced to flee with the chimps and endured long separation from his family. Continuing to work with and learn about chimpanzees in Kenya, Uganda, and later South Africa, he made himself into an incomparable authority.His memoir has adventure, danger, and many unique and touching stories about chimpanzees that show his bond with and understanding of them. As told to award-winning author David Blissett, it reveals a remarkable man who has refused to let circumstances defeat him. Conditioned by hate, wounded by loss, he has lived for love, faith, and compassion, giving new life, as Dr. Jane Goodall writes in her foreword, “to so many chimpanzees whose families, like his own, were torn apart by violence.”
