IDEAS—A Secret Weapon for Business
We all need creative ideas for solving challenging problems, innovating, and reconciling dilemmas. IDEAS sets forth what every executive should know about contributing to collaborative environments, thinking like a designer, and leading teams. This book suggests a distinctive framework for collaboration informed by design thinking. Collaboration under the umbrella of such a process can be optimally effective in triggering inspiration, leading to fresh ideas that are highly responsive to stakeholders. Collaborative design thinking cannot be reduced to an algorithm; unlike math and science problems there is no single, right answer. Nor are there formulaic or simplistic approaches, which may li...

Breathe Easy
Most people don't think about breathing; it is an automatic, unconscious act. However, the majority of those with asthma (26 million Americans); chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, or COPD (24 million Americans); or interstitial lung disease (1-2 million Americans) are aware of their shortness of breath because it interferes with work or other daily activities. As a result, these individuals seek medical attention for diagnosis and treatment. Breathe Easy, written by a pulmonologist, explains what constitutes normal breathing, what causes someone to feel short of breath, and what can be done to improve one's breathing. In chapters on asthma, COPD, and interstitial lung disease, Dr. Donald...
Supportive Care in Respiratory Disease
Respiratory symptoms such as breathlessness and cough are common in patients with advancing and incurable disease. For example, cancer, chronic cardiac and pulmonary disease, progressive neuromuscular disorders and degenerative disorders all give rise to varying degrees of respiratory distress which adversely affects the patient's quality of life. In recent years, there has been significant growth into the palliation of respiratory symptoms leading to practical ways of giving relief in hospices, hospitals and at home. The book includes non-malignant respiratory diseases such as tuberculosis in AIDS patients; ventilator-dependent patients and cystic fibrosis and focuses on aetiology and diagn...
Knight's Code
What if the United States really was not the land of the government of the people, by the people, for the people? What if instead of the duly elected President and Congress, there was a second, secret corporate organization with Government ties dominating the affairs of state within the United States? Was Pearl Harbor a plot conceived by Roosevelt and Churchill to get an isolationist U.S. into WWII? What force thrust Harry Truman into a position to lead us into the atomic age? How was he elected, and who really killed JFK? Why did Lyndon Johnson leave the White House at the height of the Vietnam War? Why did we stop at the gates of Baghdad during the first Desert War against Saddam Hussein? The political and military leaders of the latter sixty years of the 20th Century come alive in these pages, and the historical events actually took place. Where does the line between fiction and historical fact become blurred? The answer to all of these questions is Knights Code.
