Leadership & Innovation During Crisis
Leadership and Innovation During Crisis: Lessons from the Iraq War examines the role of leadership during wartime innovation efforts and finds that the senior military leader is essential for successful innovation, affecting both the likelihood of innovation and the form it takes. Through use cases and examples from the Iraq War, the author shows that innovation only occurs if leaders actively embrace innovation and employ the appropriate influence tactics to overcome the inherent individual and organizational resistance to change. Although this book only examines wartime innovation in the military, the findings also apply broadly to peacetime and non-military innovation efforts.

The Connected City
The Connected City explores how thinking about networks helps make sense of modern cities: what they are, how they work, and where they are headed. Cities and urban life can be examined as networks, and these urban networks can be examined at many different levels. The book focuses on three levels of urban networks: micro, meso, and macro. These levels build upon one another, and require distinctive analytical approaches that make it possible to consider different types of questions. At one extreme, micro-urban networks focus on the networks that exist within cities, like the social relationships among neighbors that generate a sense of community and belonging. At the opposite extreme, macro...
Chicago Lawyers
The legal profession is stratified primarily by the character of the clients served, not by the type of legal service rendered, as John P. Heinz and Edward O. Laumann convincingly demonstrate. In their classic study of the Chicago bar, the authors draw on interviews with nearly 800 lawyers to show that the profession is divided into two distinct hemispheres--corporate and individual--and that this dichotomy is reflected in the distribution of prestige among lawyers.
The U.S. Experiment in Social Medicine
This book represents the first political history of the federal government's only experiment in social medicine. Alice Sardell examines the Neighborhood, or Community Health Center Program (NHC/CHC) from its origins in 1965 as part of Lyndon Johnson's War on Poverty campaign up until 1986. The program embodied concepts of social medicine, community development, and consumer involvement in health policy decision-making. Sardell views the NHC experiment in the context of a series of political struggles, beginning in the 1890s, over the boundaries of public and private medicine, and demonstrates that these health centers so challenged mainstream medicine that they could only be funded as a program limited to the poor.
