Olduvai Countdown by Michael Woods Pdf

A medical thriller in the tradition of Michael Crichton, Robin Cook, and Michael Palmer, this work tells the story of Jack Cann, a world-renown virologist, tired of navigating the arcane politics of a highbrow Ivy League school, who returns to his Midwestern Kansas roots to lead the quiet life of a university professor. His plan is interrupted when an African village in the Olduvai region of Africa is consumed by death in a few hours; this isolated incident in a remote region devolves into worldwide chaos as death sweeps across Africa. Jack and his Asian-American wife, anthropologist Marla Qui, lead a team from the CDC trying to identify the malady and find a cure before it decimates the Western Hemisphere. What they discover is more terrifying than any known virus. They now must race against the clock to save their own lives, as well as others'.

Civil Leadership by Michael S. Woods Pdf

"Saying health care is complex is a laughable remark; it is beyond complex, affecting every citizen and every institution or business. Regardless of the topic, the economics of health care, the payors, providers and their training systems, the myriad state and federal governmental agencies, lawyers, hospitals, pharma, insurers no one is immune from justified, well-deserved criticism. This complexity paradoxically, and somewhat disturbingly, inoculates each of the above noted participants from sole responsibility of having created the complex morass that is rightly maligned by just about anyone who knows anything about health care, and everyone who has had the need to access the industry as a clientthat is, a patient." Michael S. Woods, M.D., M.M.M. in Civil Leadership In his latest book for Joint Commission Resources, Michael S. Woods, M.D., M.M.M. tackles the often-tumultuous relationship of physicians, patients, and today's heath care environment. Dr. Woods, a practicing surgeon, offers civil, common-sense, business-savvy leadership advice to physicians, but his lessons are also valuable to clinical and nonclinical staff, as well as to patients. Topics covered include: Relationship-based Civil Leadership The Self-inflicted Injuries of Disruptive and Uncivil Behavior Relationship-based Civil Leadership as a Health Care Business Strategy Community, Motivation, and the Patient Why Civility-driven, Relationship-based Care Now Self-Inflicted Wounds: The Seven Common Leadership Misstepsr of Physicians Standards for Civility-Driven Behavior and Professionalism One Foot Out of the Box and Into the Future

Alien Nation by John Gill,Jens Hoffmann,Gilane Tawadros Pdf

Alien Nation explores the ways the metaphor of the alien (little green man) has been used to process the reality of the alien (illegal or otherwise). If the cinema of the 1950s and 60s sublimated the fear of atomic catastrophe or communist attack into interplanetary drama, the more recent work collected here uses elements of that retro sci-fi world as powerful metaphors for our deep-seated fears of the Other, the foreigner--the increasingly frequently decried "invasion" of immigrants, or just the presence of people of different skin colors and beliefs. Among the 12 international contemporary artists showcased are Laylah Ali, Kori Newkirk and Yinka Shonibare. They and their compatriots explore themes of otherness and difference in film, sculpture, painting, photography and installation. Their interplanetary visitors--which might be built from Christmas ornaments, like Marepe's untitled creature, or sewn from African cloth, like Shonibare's "Dysfunctional Family"--are illustrated alongside film stills and posters from the 1950s and 60s, a glossary of alien names from those films, several thoughtful essays and interviews with the participating artists. A timely, ambitious and thought-provoking exploration of the complex relationship between fiction, race and contemporary art.

The Fifth Beginning by Robert L. Kelly Pdf

“I have seen yesterday. I know tomorrow.” This inscription in Tutankhamun’s tomb summarizes The Fifth Beginning. Here, archaeologist Robert L. Kelly explains how the study of our cultural past can predict the future of humanity. In an eminently readable style, Kelly identifies four key pivot points in the six-million-year history of human development: the emergence of technology, culture, agriculture, and the state. In each example, the author examines the long-term processes that resulted in a definitive, no-turning-back change for the organization of society. Kelly then looks ahead, giving us evidence for what he calls a fifth beginning, one that started about AD 1500. Some might call it “globalization,” but the author places it in its larger context: a five-thousand-year arms race, capitalism’s global reach, and the cultural effects of a worldwide communication network. Kelly predicts that the emergent phenomena of this fifth beginning will include the end of war as a viable way to resolve disputes, the end of capitalism as we know it, the widespread shift toward world citizenship, and the rise of forms of cooperation that will end the near-sacred status of nation-states. It’s the end of life as we have known it. However, the author is cautiously optimistic: he dwells not on the coming chaos, but on humanity’s great potential.
