"The value and prominence of data has never been clearer. From the way we make policies at the highest levels, all the way down to our daily business practices, we try to be informed by data. The ability to not only analyze data but also to present it clearly and compellingly has become an important part of many people's work. In clear, well-organized chapters, Chrisinger and Brodsky introduce key concepts for communicating data and its usefulness. Across the fields of public health, health policy, and public policy more generally, but also in many other places, policymakers, advocates, and researchers will benefit from the big-picture overview and practical details presented by the authors"--
The United States of America is becoming a divided nation and it needs help. Americans need new ways of thinking which will allow them to vigorously advocate for their own deeply held beliefs while at the same time remaining true to a common overarching story.

Even the most complex organ of all can be reproduced in the lab with nearly perfect accuracy. Nearly. Patients of brain regeneration face a wide range of problems, from loss of motor functions or intelligence to sociopathy. Spurred by personal tragedy, research scientist William Dalal works feverishly to improve the lives of those he has had a hand in saving. For every success, however, there is a consequence, and eventually a question arises in his mind: Are they worth it? His desire to help fades as he comes to realize a shocking truth: the monsters he has created are taking over. As Will walks a fine line between altruism and ambition, acquaintances and events change the way in which he perceives the world and the extent to which he is willing to compromise in order to make his mark on it. As the situation escalates, he finds himself dealing brain-enhancing drugs and developing life-altering treatments. In their deliverance, he sees his own—but is he deluding himself?
