Forever Faithful celebrates the history of Cornell hockey, focusing
on twenty-four memorable games played by the men's and women's
teams since the opening of Lynah Rink in 1957. The foreword was
written by Ken Dryden (Cornell '69), who led the Big Red team to
its first NCAA championship in 1967, won six Stanley Cups with the
Montreal Canadiens, and is a member of the Hockey Hall of Fame. The
narrative begins with an early history of the program, when games
were played outdoors on Beebe Lake, and moves on to chapters
celebrating the rituals and traditions of the Lynah Faithful and
the key rivalries of both the men's and women's teams. Game
accounts follow, each one featuring insights from coaches and
players who were involved and illustrated by many color and
black-and-white photographs of the players and game action. The
book concludes with an appendix that lists key statistics and
accomplishments of the men's and women's programs.

Shock Therapy For the American Health Care System describes the
problems of the health care system and offers a program of
comprehensive reform that is more far-reaching than anything
currently being proposed. From a veteran physician comes this
remarkably clear-eyed look at what's wrong with how we adminster
and pay for health care and what can be done to fix it. In Shock
Therapy for the American Health Care System: Why Comprehensive
Reform Is Needed, Dr. Robert Levine offers an easily understandable
diagnosis of the problems plaguing our current health care
infrastructure, with discussions that include the roles of various
stakeholders—insurance companies, "big pharma," hospitals, health
care providers, and patients. He also dispels a number of myths
designed to make voters leery of any reform efforts. Levine's
comprehensive plan addresses everything from bloated bureaucracies
to unnecessary procedures to the handling of negligence and
malpractice lawsuits/claims. Throughout, Levine backs his proposals
with facts and comparisons to systems in various countries, and
concludes that even now, with disaster looming, the ultimate goal
of providing health insurance for every American is achievable and
affordable.
Creating the 'Big Mess' and its sequel Accounting for Crises use
Marx's theory of capitalism to explain why there is no generally
accepted theory of financial accounting, and explore the
consequences, by studying the history of American accounting theory
from c.1900 to 2007. The answer, Creating the 'Big Mess', is first
that while late-19th century British accounting principles, founded
on the going-concern concept, provided an objective basis for
holding management accountable to shareholders for its stewardship
of capital, and were accepted by the nascent American profession,
they are inchoate. Second, Irving Fisher's economic theory of
accounting, based on the assertion that present value is the
accountants' measurement ideal, which is subjective, framed
early-20th century American accounting theory, which undermined
British principles, making them incoherent. In an unregulated,
pro-business environment, leading theorists, particularly Henry
Rand Hatfield and William A. Paton, Jr., became authorities for
management discretion, creating the 'big mess' Hatfield saw in
late-1920s American accounting. Accounting for Crises examines the
roles of Fisher's theory in promoting the speculation leading to
the 1929 Great Crash, aggravating the Great Depression, hindering
accounting regulation from the 1930s, producing the Financial
Accounting Standard Board's conceptual framework, and facilitating
the 2007-2008 Global Financial Crisis.
