"New York Times Bestseller "
Po Bronson and Ashley Merryman's work changes the national
dialogue. Beyond their bestselling books, you know them from
commentary and features in the "New York Times," CNN, NPR, "Time,"
"Newsweek," "Wired," "New York," and more. E-mail, Facebook, and
Twitter accounts are filled with demands to read their reporting
(such as "How Not to Talk to Your Kids," "Creativity Crisis," and
"Losing Is Good for You").
In TOP DOG, Bronson and Merryman again use their astonishing
blend of science and storytelling to reveal what's truly in the
heart of a champion. The joy of victory and the character-building
agony of defeat. Testosterone and the neuroscience of mistakes. Why
rivals motivate. How home field advantage gets you a raise. What
teamwork really requires. It's baseball, the SAT, sales contests,
and Linux. How before da Vinci and FedEx were innovators, first,
they were great competitors.
Olympians carry TOP DOG in their gym bags. It's in briefcases of
Wall Street traders and Madison Avenue madmen. Risk takers from
Silicon Valley to Vegas race to implement its ideas, as educators
debate it in halls of academia. Now see for yourself what this
game-changing talk is all about.
Occupy Wall Street did not come from nowhere. It was part of a long
history of riot, revolt, uprising, and sometimes even revolution
that has shaped New York City. From the earliest European
colonization to the present, New Yorkers have been revolting. Hard
hitting, revealing, and insightful, Revolting New York tells the
story of New York's evolution through revolution, a story of
near-continuous popular (and sometimes not-so-popular) uprising.
Richly illustrated with more than ninety historical and
contemporary images, historical maps, and maps drawn especially for
the book, Revolting New York provides the first comprehensive
account of the historical geography of revolt in New York, from the
earliest uprisings of the Munsee against the Dutch occupation of
Manhattan in the seventeenth century to the Black Lives Matter
movement and the unrest of the Trump era. Through this rich
narrative, editors Neil Smith and Don Mitchell reveal a continuous,
if varied and punctuated, history of rebellion in New York that is
as vital as the more standard histories of formal politics,
planning, economic growth, and restructuring that largely define
our consciousness of New York's story.
This Open Access book aims to find out how and why states in
various regions and of diverse cultural backgrounds fail in their
gender equality laws and policies. In doing this, the book maps out
states' failures in their legal systems and unpacks the clashes
between different levels and forms of law-namely domestic laws,
local regulations, or the implementation of international law,
individually or in combination. By taking off from the confirmation
that the concept of law that is to be used in achieving gender
equality is a multidimensional, multi-layered, and to an extent,
contradictory phenomenon, this book aims to find out how different
layers of laws interact and how they impact gender equality.
Further to that, by including different states and jurisdictions
into its analysis, this book unravels whether there are any
similarities/patterns in how these states define and utilise
policies and laws that harm gender equality. In this way, the book
contributes to the efforts to devise holistic and universal
policies to address various forms of gender inequalities across the
world. This volume will be of interest to scholars and students in
Gender Studies, Sociology, Law, and Criminology.
This open access book introduces the National Health Insurance
(NHI) system of Taiwan with a particular emphasis on its
application of digital technology to improve healthcare access and
quality. The authors explicate how Taiwan integrates its strong
Information and Communications Technology (ICT) industry with 5G to
construct an information system that facilitates medical
information exchange, collects data for planning and research,
refines medical claims review procedures and even assists in
fighting COVID-19. Taiwan's NHI, launched in 1995, is a
single-payer system funded primarily through payroll-based
premiums. It covers all citizens and foreign residents with the
same comprehensive benefits without the long waiting times seen in
other single-payer systems. Though premium rate adjustment and
various reforms were carried out in 2010, the NHI finds itself at a
crossroads over its financial stability. With the advancement of
technologies and an aging population, it faces challenges of
expanding coverage to newly developed treatments and diagnosis
methods and applying the latest innovations to deliver telemedicine
and more patient-centered services. The NHI, like the national
health systems of other countries, also needs to address the
privacy concerns of the personal health data it collects and the
issues regarding opening this data for research or commercial use.
In this book, the 12 chapters cover the history, characteristics,
current status, innovations and future reform plans of the NHI in
the digital era. Topics explored include: Income Strategy Payment
Structure Pursuing Health Equity Infrastructure of the Medical
Information System Innovative Applications of the Medical
Information Applications of Big Data and Artificial Intelligence
Digital Health Care in Taiwan is essential reading for academic
researchers and students in healthcare administration, health
policy, health systems research, and health services delivery, as
well as policymakers and public officials in relevant government
departments. It also would appeal to academics, practitioners, and
other professionals in public health, health sciences, social
welfare, and health and biotechnology law.

Nanotechnology manipulates matter at the atomic level. It leads to
innovative processes and products that are revolutionizing many
areas of modern life. Huge amounts of public funds are being
invested in the science, yet the public has little understanding of
the technology or its ethical implications. Indeed, the ethical,
social and political dimensions of nanotechnology are only
beginning to receive the attention they require outside of science
fiction contexts. Surveillance devices may become so small that
they are practically invisible to the naked eye, raising concerns
about privacy. Nanomedicine may lead to the development of new
diagnostic and therapeutic devices, yet anxieties have been raised
about the impact of nanobots circulating in our bodies. Military
applications, or misuses, of nanotechnology raise other concerns.
This book explores in an accessible and informative way how
nanotechnology is likely to impact the lives of ordinary people in
the coming years and why ethical reflection on nanotechnology is
needed now. Articulate, provocative and stimulating, this timely
book will make a significant contribution to one of the most
important debates of our time.
CASSELL'S DICTIONARY OF FRENCH SYNONYMS ARRANGED IN GROUPS FOR THE
CONVENIENCE OF ENGLISH STUDENTS by P. O. CROWHURST. Originally
published in U.S.A in 1931. INTRODUCTION: FRENCH is without doubt
the foreign language most frequently studied in English-speaking
countries today, a fact which may be accounted for in several ways.
First, the history of France has in past centuries been closely
interwoven with that of England, revealing, here, the spirit of
unity linking the two nations, there, the misunderstanding or
hostility which divided them. As a result the French tongue found
its way into England from the Norman invasion onward, remained in
use at the Court until the fourteenth century, shared with Latin
the distinction of being the literary language of Europe and became
the diplomatic and social speech of the world. Secondly, the
geographical situation of France as regards England and the close
relationships with the French since the Revolution in America, have
facilitated the study of the language, but a third and more potent
reason for its present-day popularity was the advent of the Great
War in 1914, that gigantic upheaval which threw the nations into
physical touch with each other and permitted us to study, at close
range, the character and language of our French allies during that
unprecedented struggle. It may be said, therefore, that the French
language has come to stay, but we must remember that it is
infinitely rich in nwanccs and finesse or, as we should say, shades
of meaning, so much so that the possibilities of expressing oneself
exactly, or making mistakes, are alike unbounded. As an example,
the words pendant and dwant are generally given as French
equivalents for '*during while affn'u. r, cffrayant, cffr&
