Letters
At the age of seven, Elizabeth L. Bewley started marking time until she would be able to go away to college at the age of eighteen. At the dinner table, her mother repeatedly and emphatically advised Elizabeth's older siblings that getting a good college education was the key to a successful life - regardless of how success was defined. Upon arriving at college in 1971, Elizabeth leapt wholeheartedly into studying new topics, meeting new people, and taking advantage of the marvels that college had to offer - including the unheard-of opportunity to use the college's mainframe computer. Providing a window into a young adult's life in an era before personal computers and email, her letters home discuss campus life, classwork, professors, relationships, money, health crises, frustrations, work backstage in the theatre department, and humorous incidents - including one involving an escaped lab rat who was critical for her classwork.

Forces of Change
American health care has made great strides in the past hundred years. Life expectancy has increased dramatically and advances in medicine and treatments have eradicated many life-threatening diseases. However, in today's health care arena there is divergence between our health needs, the structure of our health care system, and how health care is delivered and funded. In Forces of Change, David A. Shore has collected the leading thinking from experts in the field on how our health care system can benefit from important lessons from other industries and effect transformational change that truly serves all stakeholders well. Contributors include Max Caldwell of Towers Watson; Michael J. Dowling of North Shore Long Island Jewish Medical Health System; John P. Glaser of Siemens Healthcare; Ashish K. Jha of the Harvard School of Public Health; Eric D. Kupferberg of Northeastern University; Lucian Leape of the Harvard School of Public Health; Jeff Margolis of the TriZetto Group, Inc.; and David Shoultz of Philips Electronics.

When I'm 94
You may live to be 100 years old with all of your physical and mental abilities intact -- but imagine a distant future in which something unexpected happens -- perhaps an auto accident or the insidious development of dementia. Imagine that your new caregiver serves you a casserole made with canned peas and bland cheese, all while humming along to the twangy music she always finds on the radio. In this scenario, you've hated canned peas your whole life, you never could stand bland cheese, and you grit your teeth when she plays her favorite music. But since you had a stroke, you can't get the words out to complain.When I'm 94 offers a solution. You don't have to settle for a life you don't want, even if you can't do everything yourself as you age. You can control how your money, your health care, and your daily life are managed in the future -- regardless of any physical or cognitive limitations that may arise.You can specify in the present how you want your life to run in the future. You can create a team today to carry out your wishes later. Then you can relax, knowing that regardless of your future physical or cognitive state, your life will be managed as you want it to be.
