  • Developing to Scale - Technology and the Making of Global Health - cover

    The first critical book on “appropriate technology,” Developing to Scale shows how global health came to be understood as a problem to be solved with the right technical interventions. 
  
In 1973, economist E. F. Schumacher published Small Is Beautiful, which introduced a mainstream audience to his theory of “appropriate technology”: the belief that international development projects in the Global South were most sustainable when they were small-scale, decentralized, and balanced between the traditional and the modern. His theory gained widespread appeal, as cuts to the foreign aid budget, the national interests of nations seeking greater independence, postcolonial activism, and the rise of the United States’ tech sector drove stakeholders across public and private institutions toward cheaper tools. In the ensuing decades, US foreign assistance shifted away from massive modernization projects, such as water treatment facilities, toward point-of-use technologies like village water pumps and oral rehydration salts. This transition toward the small scale had massive implications for the practice of global health. 
  
Developing to Scale tells the history of appropriate technology in international health and development, relating the people, organizations, and events that shaped this consequential idea. Heidi Morefield examines how certain technologies have been defined as more or less “appropriate” for the Global South based on assumptions about gender, race, culture, and environment. Her study shows appropriate technology to be malleable, as different constituencies interpreted its ideas according to their own needs. She reveals how policymakers wielded this tool to both constrain aid to a scale that did not threaten Western interests and to scale the practice of global health through the development and distribution of technical interventions.

    The war in your head is exhausting. Replaying past conversations, worrying about future outcomes, and battling a relentless inner critic drains your energy and steals your joy. Modern psychology offers helpful tools, but ancient Japanese wisdom provides a completely different approach, one that doesn't fight your thoughts but changes your relationship with them. This book introduces 12 practical concepts from Japanese philosophy, from the beauty of imperfection to the art of closing loops, designed to quiet the overactive mind and help you find genuine peace. 

 
This is not a book of abstract theory but a practical toolkit for breaking free from mental loops. Each chapter explains a specific Japanese concept, why it matters for overthinking, and offers a simple 5-minute practice to integrate it into your life. You will learn to find beauty in imperfection, complete what needs to be completed, and release the need for control. The result is a personalized set of mental tools derived from centuries of wisdom, tools you can reach for whenever the mind begins its familiar spiral. 

 
Inside, you'll discover:• How wabi-sabi releases you from the perfectionism that fuels self-criticism• The zanshin method for closing mental loops and ending rumination• How mushin (no-mind) allows you to bypass the inner critic and access flow states• Fudoshin practices to build emotional stability against catastrophizing• How shoshin (beginner's mind) loosens rigid beliefs and opens up possibilities• The art of kintsugi to repair past mistakes and transform shame into strength• How to integrate these concepts into a personal antidote map for lasting change 

 
The quiet mind is not a destination you arrive at, it is a quality you cultivate. This book gives you the map and the practices to begin that journey today.

    How ancient Stoicism can help teach us to treat others—and ourselves—more fairly and mercifully 
 
 
 
There are times when we've all felt that we haven't been treated as we deserve—that we've been misjudged, shortchanged, or given a raw deal. And, at one time or another, other people have probably felt that we've treated them just as unfairly. How to Do the Right Thing draws on the principles of ancient Stoicism as articulated by the Roman statesman and philosopher Seneca to help listeners better navigate one of the most important practical questions of daily life—how to do right by others. 
 
 
 
Starting from the virtue of magnanimity—the opposite of small-mindedness—How to Do the Right Thing draws together lessons from Seneca's writings that stress the importance of calm and clear thinking, of judging oneself fairly before judging others, and of cutting people slack, with a bias toward mercy—all delivered in crisp and lively new translations.
