Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. In 1976, Nahlah Ayed's family gave up their comfortable life in Winnipeg for the squalor of a Palestinian refugee camp in Amman, Jordan. The transition was jarring, but it was from this uncomfortable situation that Ayed first observed the people whose heritage she shared. The family returned to Canada when she was thirteen, and Ayed ignored the Middle East for many years. But the First Gulf War and the events of 9/11 reignited her interest. Soon she was reporting from the region full-time, trying to make sense of the wars and upheavals that have affected its people and sent so many of them seeking a better life elsewhere. In A Thousand Farewells, Ayed describes with sympathy and insight the myriad ways in which the Arab people have fought against oppression and loss as seen from her own early days witnessing protests in Amman, and the wars, crackdowns, and uprisings she has reported on in countries across the region. This is the heartfelt and personal chronicle of a journalist who has devoted much of her career to covering one of the world's most vexing regions.…

Hardback. Zustand: Very Good. The world has turned against the United States. Anti-American sentiments have swept the globe. Foreign leaders, pundits, and ordinary people decry the United States, at best proclaiming their heartbreak that the American values they once admired have vanished, and at worst condemning America as a criminal state beyond redemption. The invasion of Iraq, America's refusal to sign the Kyoto accords, detention without trial in Guantanamo and torture in Abu Ghraib, the spread of American movies and fast food into every corner of the globe -- all have contributed to a feeling that the United States, once a force for good in the world, is abusing its position as the world's sole superpower. How wrong they are. In this provocative, brilliant book, acclaimed foreign affairs columnist Bronwen Maddox shows how critics of America take the best of it for granted and exaggerate the worst. They give the United States too little credit for their own freedom and wealth, and struggle to fend off a monolithic American culture that does not exist. She shows how opponents often unfairly equate American mistakes with moral failings, and how the United States frequently makes its own case badly, even when it is on strong ground. And she reveals a world in danger of fighting to keep the giant at bay, when the harder task is to give America good reason to keep engaged. Persuasive and important, In Defense of America is essential reading for anyone who cares about our place in the world, and our future.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. It has become routine to see in various health care magazines, e-mails to leaders, and executive discussions on social media internet outlets, a listing of the ten top challenges that CEOs believe they are facing in the health care industry today. They often call this list the what is keeping me up at night list. Although the recognition of their current challenges is important for health system leadership teams and board members, just knowing them is not enough. To be successful in this extremely challenging and complex health care environment today, implementation of action plans is key. The recognition of this critical need to implement a successful road map to the future in order to address the disconnect between knowing and doing has driven the content of this book. Based on the less than positive performance, both clinically and financially, of many health care providers, it seems obvious that the implementation of successful action plans is sorely missing in many boards' and leadership teams' processes. The proof that such is the case lies in the fact that the yearly challenge list provided by a wide array of CEOs from small, medium as well as large complex health systems and across the broad health care sector has changed very little over the last decade. We hear and read over and over again about the lack of primary care providers, the declining inpatient volumes, the decrease in profitability, the variability in clinical outcomes, the lack of strong clinical integration and collaboration, and the fragmented care due to a lack of case coordination across the continuum. The authors of this book worked together since 1999 in leadership/governance/management challenges domestically and internationally. They predicted, decades ago, what most would never have dreamed could become reality in the health care world. It is their intent to help readers successfully lead their organizations through a transformational journey in the current turmoil in the health care industry.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. The remarkable life of the physical chemist whose pioneering research unlocked the structure of DNA and the double helix. In 1962, Maurice Wilkins, Francis Crick, and James Watson received the Nobel Prize, but it was Rosalind Franklin's data and photographs of DNA that led to their discovery. Driven by an uncompromising devotion to empirical evidence, she investigated the structure of coals in wartime Britain and mastered X-ray diffraction in post-war Paris. At King's College London, her meticulous research separated the two forms of DNA and yielded the breathtaking diffraction image that guided her competitors to the summit. Brenda Maddox tells a powerful story of a remarkably single-minded, forthright, and tempestuous young woman who, at the age of fifteen, decided she was going to be a scientist, but who was airbrushed out of the greatest scientific discovery of the twentieth century. Women in Science: Traces Franklin's upbringing in an intellectual Anglo-Jewish family and her education at St Paul's Girls' School, in an era when academic establishments long withheld titular degrees from female scholars. History of Science: Uncovers the fraught departmental politics at King's College London, where mismanaged laboratory oversight and strained collaborations led to her crucial X-ray diffraction plates being shared without her knowledge. Molecular Biology: Follows her prolific final research at Birkbeck College alongside Aaron Klug, deciphering the internal architecture of the tobacco mosaic virus and advancing modern virology. Science Biography: Reclaims Franklin's legacy from the distorting caricature popularized in James Watson's 1968 memoir The Double Helix, restoring the full portrait of a dedicated and passionate investigator. Also by This Author: Nora and Yeats's Ghosts.…
