  The Coming Healthcare Revolution identifies and describes five top-down macro forces and five bottom-up market forces that have sufficient strength to transform the US healthcare industry from the outside-in. The powerful macro forces are demographic determinants, funding fatigue, chronic pandemics, technological imperatives, and pro-consumer/market reforms. The equally powerful market forces are whole health, care redesign, care migration, aggregators' advantage, and empowered caregivers. Written by David Johnson and Paul Kusserow, professional healthcare advisors operating at the intersection of healthcare economics, policy, strategy, and capital formation, this book provides expert insight on how the US healthcare system is becoming cheaper, better, more balanced between prevention and treatment, easier to access, and more empowering for both frontline caregivers and consumers. 
   
   
   
  In this book, listeners will learn about factors leading to rising healthcare costs; US healthcare in comparison to other high-income countries; similarities between the US automobile industry crisis in the 1980s and today's adapt-or-die situation for healthcare providers and suppliers; and how the healthcare industry is reorganizing to decentralize delivery of whole-person health in ways that will improve health outcomes and overall societal health.

  Starlight and Shadows - The...

  In the beginning, the universe was nothing more than a dense singularity—silent, timeless, and still. Then came the Big Bang, a colossal eruption that scattered matter and energy in every direction. From this explosion, light was born. It was the first visible sign of creation, a brilliant flash that broke the void and ignited the formation of stars, galaxies, and eventually life. Light traveled fast, racing across the empty stretches of the newborn cosmos. It became the symbol of birth and beginning, of knowledge and awareness. Without light, the universe would remain unseen and unknown, a place without structure or story. 
  But where there is light, there must also be darkness. Darkness is not just the absence of light—it is its counterpart. It filled the vast spaces between stars and galaxies, the silent shadows where light couldn’t reach. In many ways, darkness defines the boundaries of light, giving it contrast and shape. Without the dark, light would have no form. As stars began to shine and galaxies spun into form, so did the shadows. Black holes, vast voids, and mysterious dark matter began to shape the cosmic landscape. Darkness became more than empty space; it became a force of its own, influencing the movement of galaxies and the very structure of the universe. 
  The birth of stars played a crucial role in this balance. When matter began to clump together under gravity, stars ignited through nuclear fusion. These glowing spheres of heat and light pierced the darkness, scattering energy into the cosmos. But every star also cast shadows, created contrast, and eventually faded back into darkness when their fuel was spent. Supernovae, neutron stars, and black holes emerged from the deaths of stars, returning their light to the cosmic dark. This cycle of creation and destruction shows how light and darkness are deeply connected—each one gives rise to the other.

  Smart homes are here—domestic spaces bristling with networked technologies that appear to enhance work, entertainment, logistics, health, and security. But these technologies may also extract a cost in attention, money, and privacy. In Threshold, communication and technology expert Heather Suzanne Woods applies rhetorical theory to answer the urgent question of how swiftly proliferating smart homes alter those who inhabit them. 
   
   
   
  Building on research into smart homes in the United States, Woods recounts how smart homes arose and predicts the trajectory of their future form. She pulls back the curtain on the technology, probes who is in control, and questions whether a home can be too smart. 
   
   
   
  Woods suggests a dynamic cultural framework for understanding smart homes that takes into account sociotechnical variables through which smart homes shape human life. Woods's framework reveals how smart homes both reflect social norms about technology as well as whet consumer appetites. 
   
   
   
  Written for homeowners, policymakers, technology enthusiasts, and scholars, Threshold interweaves critical analysis with matter-of-fact graphics that map relationships between digital tools and social life.

  Healing Grounds - Climate...

  A powerful movement is happening in farming—farmers are reconnecting with their roots to fight climate change. 
   
   
   
  In Healing Grounds, Liz Carlisle tells the stories of Indigenous, Black, Latinx, and Asian American farmers who are reviving their ancestors' methods of growing food—techniques long suppressed by the industrial food system. These farmers are restoring native prairies, nurturing beneficial fungi, and enriching soil health. While feeding their communities and revitalizing cultural ties to land, they are steadily stitching ecosystems back together and repairing the natural carbon cycle. This is the true regenerative agriculture—not merely a set of technical tricks for storing CO2 in the ground, but a holistic approach that values diversity in both plants and people. 
   
   
    
  Cultivating this kind of regenerative farming will require reckoning with our nation's agricultural history—a history marked by discrimination and displacement. And it will ultimately require dismantling power structures that have blocked many farmers of color from owning land or building wealth. 
   
   
   
  By coming together to restore these farmlands, we can not only heal our planet, we can heal our communities.
