  Every system — natural or human — has a breaking point. Ice sheets collapse, forests burn, markets crash, societies fracture. Now, as the planet edges toward a cascade of irreversible shifts, humanity faces its own moment of balance. 
  In Tipping Points, Alex Southwick examines the fragile thresholds that define our age — from the melting Arctic permafrost to the strain on global food networks and the fraying bonds of political trust. Drawing on science, history, and on-the-ground reporting, Southwick reveals how these crises intertwine, amplifying one another into a single planetary reckoning. 
  Yet this is also a story of resilience. Across the world, communities, cities, and movements are learning to adapt — not by returning to the old normal, but by building something entirely new. 
  Sweeping in scope yet intimate in its insight, Tipping Points is a profound exploration of how climate chaos doesn’t just threaten civilization — it’s already redefining what civilization means.

  Part biography and part clear-eyed examination of a healthcare system in crisis, Hospital, Heal Thyself tells the story of enigmatic healthcare visionary Eugene Litvak, whose research and strategies have already been implemented at many top twelve-ranked hospitals to save hundreds of millions of dollars and countless thousands of patient lives. While US healthcare costs continue to skyrocket, Litvak's program described in this book offers tested, effective methods to trim those costs while simultaneously improving patient outcomes. 
   
   
   
  Written by veteran prize-winning healthcare journalist Mark Taylor, this book includes compelling discussion on how hospital and emergency room overcrowding has harmful and potentially deadly effects on patients and staff; how Litvak's algorithms and complex mathematical theories help hospitals staff appropriately to safely manage patient flow; and how applying Litvak's unique patient flow interventions improves nurse retention in an era of mass nurse exodus. 
   
   
   
  Distilling complex ideas into accessible language, Hospital, Heal Thyself is a timely, essential listen for all medical practitioners and healthcare administrators and staff who want to play their part in transforming modern healthcare, and the world, for the better.

  Introduction to Plasma Physics...

  Plasma physics is the study of ionized gases, where a significant fraction of the particles are charged, creating a medium that exhibits collective behavior influenced by electromagnetic fields. Plasma is often referred to as the fourth state of matter, alongside solids, liquids, and gases. In a plasma, the thermal energy is sufficient to ionize atoms, resulting in a mixture of positively charged ions and free electrons. This ionization leads to unique properties such as electrical conductivity, response to magnetic fields, and the ability to generate complex, collective phenomena like waves and instabilities. Plasma physics combines elements of fluid dynamics, electromagnetism, and statistical mechanics to describe the behavior of charged particles and fields. 
  Plasmas are characterized by several key parameters, including the electron and ion densities, temperature, and degree of ionization. The Debye length, which measures the distance over which electrostatic interactions are screened out by the collective response of charges, is a fundamental scale in plasma physics.
