Transformational Public Policy examines how governments can more
effectively handle uncertainty and risk in an uncertain and
changing world. Unpredictable and changing circumstances often
bring nasty surprises that can increase waste in governance and
public debt. This book illustrates how new methods derived from
signal processing techniques can improve the practice of public
policy by transforming it through rapid learning and adaptation.
Interventions are processes of discovery, not compliance.
Transformational Public Policy shows readers how the power of
hypothesis testing in governance can be deployed. The book argues
that public policy can be framed as tests of competing hypotheses
subject to diagnostic errors. The aim is to learn how to reduce
these diagnostic errors through cumulative experience. This
approach can reduce the impact of negative unintended consequences
-- a topic of great interest to policy makers and academics alike.

Mann Gulch, Montana, 1949. Sixteen men ventured into hell to fight
a raging wildfire; only three came out alive. Searing the fire into
the nation's consciousness, Norman Maclean chronicled the Mann
Gulch tragedy in his award-winning book Young Men and Fire. Still,
the silence of the victims' families robbed Maclean's account of an
essential personal dimension. Shifting the focus from the fire to
the men who fought it, Mark Matthews now provides that
perspective.Not until 1999 - the fiftieth anniversary of the fire -
did people begin to talk openly about Mann Gulch. Matthews has
garnered those thoughts to reveal how devastating the fire was to
the firefighters' family members, coworkers, and friends. In
retelling the story of Mann Gulch, he draws on the testimony of the
three survivors - including never-before-published insights from
the last living member of the team - and interviews with former
smoke jumpers of that era. The result is a moment-by-moment,
heart-stopping re-creation of events. The Mann Gulch tragedy
provoked the Forest Service to develop safety equipment and
training programs, but fighting wildfires is still a perilous job.
Matthews' stirring account renews our respect for one of nature's
primal forces. A heartbreakingly human story, it still haunts a
firefighting community - and keeps today's firefighters forever on
guard.

The Runner's High. It is not a myth, it is not illegal, but it may
be addictive. Chasing the Dragon: Running to Get High is a
collection of diatribes, training tips, and off-color wisdom, all
processing the running life and how to get the biggest (legal)
highs from your life and your runs. The author taps into his
personal experience with running and addiction to look at questions
such as why recovering addicts turn to running and the nature of
positive addictions. There is something here for every runner: tips
on running that Boston Qualifier, pacing, tapering, training
philosophy, plus some running flash fiction sure to make you smile.
The author is a 13-time marathoner, a Boston qualifier, a
recovering addict of 21 years, and a substance-abuse counselor in
Detroit.
The second of a two-volume textbook for college General Chemistry
students, this book takes a "novel" approach on two fronts. It's
written and formatted in a way that encourages it be read just like
any other book, while also eschewing many of the traditional tropes
of traditional chemistry textbooks. Figures, graphs and tables are
embedded within the text itself, usually without labels or
captions, in an attempt to keep the "narrative flow" going.
Similarly, sample calculations are presented in a step-by-step
fashion to mimic how an instructor would guide a student through a
problem if he or she were doing it in person.
