Summary

"Universal Care Systems" explores how various nations approach universal health coverage, examining the political and public health factors influencing their healthcare policies. The book offers a comparative analysis of different healthcare systems, utilizing data from organizations like the WHO to evaluate their effectiveness and equity. Did you know that healthcare access is only one component influencing overall well-being, with social determinants of health also playing a crucial role? The book emphasizes that health equity requires robust public funding and comprehensive benefit packages.

 
The book presents a logical progression, beginning by defining universal health coverage and then transitioning into detailed case studies of countries like the UK, Canada, and Japan, which have established universal healthcare systems. It further analyzes countries such as Thailand and Rwanda, which have made strides toward universal coverage more recently.

 
By examining healthcare financing, governance structures, and performance metrics across different nations, the book synthesizes lessons learned and identifies common challenges and best practices in the pursuit of universal health coverage.

America's Legendary Frontier...

Editors Charles River

The Wild West has made legends out of many men, but it has forged a lasting legacy for the city of Tombstone, Arizona, a frontier boomtown that has come to symbolize everything about the Old West. In many ways, Tombstone fit all the stereotypes associated with that era in American history. A dusty place on the outskirts of civilization, Tombstone brought together miners, cowboys, lawmen, saloons, gambling, brothels, and everything in between, creating an environment that was always colorful and occasionally fatal. Those characteristics might not have distinguished Tombstone from other frontier outposts like Deadwood in the Dakotas, but some of the most famous legends of the West called Tombstone home for many years, most notably the Earp brothers and Doc Holliday. And ultimately, the relationships and rivalries forged by those men in Tombstone culminated in the legendary Gunfight at the O.K. Corral on October 26, 1881.
The mining town of Deadwood quickly sprung up as prospectors descended on the area, even though the federal government had ordered military troops to set up posts there to keep prospectors out. Men like Al Swearengen and Charlie Utter came to make fortunes one way or another, Calamity Jane amused and irritated the townspeople in equal measure, and the legendary Wild Bill Hickok was shot and killed in one of Deadwood’s saloons while holding the “Dead Man’s Hand” by “the coward McCall.”
By 1876, however, Dodge City had become a popular destination spot for cattle drives starting from as far south as Texas, earning itself the nickname “The Cowboy Capital of the World”. With that, the town also came to symbolize everything about the Old West. Dodge City brought together cowboys, lawmen, saloons, gambling, brothels, and everything in between, creating an environment that was always colorful and occasionally fatal. Since Dodge City was on the frontier, it took awhile for the law to catch up to it.

Humans Not Robots: When Elite...

Michail Antonio

Michail Antonio wants you to know what it actually feels like to earn a living from playing professional football.
'Humans Not Robots is fantastic … brilliant … eye-opening … enjoyable' The Sunday Times
'Not since Tony Cascarino's seminal Full Time, which is now 26 years old, have I read a player's memoir that so successfully shows that footballers are just people too.' Jonathan Northcroft, The Sunday Times
'Far from the usual player autobiography. A book to give food for thought for every football fan.' Jeff Stelling
'Raw and entertaining', Jacob Steinberg, The Guardian
Michail Antonio has been around the block and done the hard yards, breaking through the tough way, via grassroots non-league football not through an Academy – a testament to his resilience and commitment.
He wants you to know the truth of existing in a world where professional football and ‘real life’ collide. What happens when life inevitably gets in the way and has a negative impact on performance? What is it like to feel the full dehumanising force of his harshest online critics and yet still be expected to perform as if he doesn’t have a care in the world?
With intelligence and thoughtfulness, his book uncovers this unique way of earning a living, peeling back its layers and charting the daily realities.
He wants to show you the very ‘human’ aspects of life as an elite sportsperson, good and bad – the parts of the job that the fans don’t see or even consider.
More than anything, though, Michail Antonio would like you to see professional footballers as humans, not robots.
A raw, non-fiction soccer memoir with a social and cultural edge, it confronts discrimination and the dehumanising noise around the game while celebrating the recreation that first shaped him. Up-coming and latest in its honesty, it’s a top, best-in-class read for anyone who wants football’s truth without the gloss.

Is It Racist? Is It Sexist? -...

Betsy Leondar-Wright, Jessi Streib

Is It Racist? Is It Sexist? Two questions that seem simple on their face, but which invite a host of tangled responses. Jessi Streib and Betsy Leondar-Wright offer a new way of understanding how inequalities persist by focusing on the individual judgment calls that lead us to decide what's racist, what's sexist, and what's not. 
 
 
 
Racism and sexism often seem like optical illusions, but the lines that most consistently divide our decisions might surprise you. Indeed, white people's views of what's racist and sexist are increasingly up for grabs. As the largest racial group in the country and the group that occupies the most and the highest positions of power, what they decide is racist and sexist helps determine the contours of inequality. 
 
 
 
By asking white people—Southerners and Northerners, Republicans and Democrats, working-class and professional-middle-class, men and women—to decide whether specific interactions and institutions are racist, sexist, or not, Streib and Leondar-Wright take us on a journey through the decision-making processes of white people in America. The authors are able to distinguish the responses as being characteristic of different patterns of reasoning. They produce a framework for understanding these patterns that invites us all to engage with each other in a new way, even on topics that might divide us.
