A Pulitzer Prize–winning architectural critic explores how modern cities thrive when urban planning leaves room for happy accidents and innovations. “A city is not a symphony, composed as a single work,” Paul Goldberger writes. “It is more like jazz, with its mix of order and...

As government offices, corporations, and campuses dismantle Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs amid intensifying political backlash, a new book from Yale University Press argues that public debate has lost sight of DEI’s origins. In The Diversity Principle: The Story of a Transformative Idea, Berkeley Law Professor David B. Oppenheimer reconstructs the two-century history of diversity as an intellectual and institutional principle, one rooted in the origins of the modern research university, the development of free speech doctrine, and the science of decision making.

Medical professionals are among the highest-sued people in the most litigious country in the world, which means if that string of letters behind your name includes a “D,” you’ve got a big target on your back. It’s usually not a matter of if you’ll find yourself at the wrong end of a lawsuit, but when. What’s worse, although for everyone else, a settlement means the end of the matter, that’s not so for you.

President Donald J. Trump’s second term in office will be the most consequential administration in history because of the people and the policies that are markedly different than his first term. While the Left and their conspirators in the media thought they had vanquished Trump after the 2020 election, the leader of the Make America Great Again movement didn’t disappear as they had hoped. During President Biden’s administration, Trump was assembling the people and building the policies that will forever change the direction of this country.

This book reveals the uncomfortable truth: America's AI leadership is an illusion. We have the best chatbots, but China is building 50 nuclear reactors to power AI data centers. We have startups, but China produces twice as many engineers. We celebrate "asset-light" models, but China manufactures autonomous robots and military drones at scale we cannot match. The AI race will be won by whoever controls energy, manufacturing, and talent—not algorithms.

Your grocery bill has jumped 40% in the last decade. Your paycheck buys less every month. You work harder, earn more, and still seem to fall further behind. You've probably wondered — is this just the way things are? Is anyone actually in charge of this? And if so, why isn't anyone fixing it? The answers are hiding in plain sight, inside the banking system most of us were never taught to understand.

We are living through a profound transformation — a Cognitive Revolution — in which Artificial Intelligence is reshaping how we work, learn, and make sense of the world. This revolution reaches far beyond technology; it touches the very essence of what it means to think, create, and connect as humans. The question is not just where AI is taking us, but how we choose to journey with it.

"Education is not only in danger but in need of direction—a direction that is bold, inclusive, and relentless in pursuit of justice ... In times like these, books like this guide us toward the world that is possible." —Bettina L. Love, author of Punished for Dreaming: How School Reform Harms...

American Health—Who Gets Paid examines the pricing system that quietly governs US medicine—and explains why what gets paid for gets done. Rather than focusing on politics, personalities, or technology, the book looks at the underlying economics of medical work: how care is valued, who sets those values, and how payment rules shape clinical behavior, institutional priorities, and innovation.

She was forty-four, the picture of health—a devoted mother of four, a daily runner, a kale enthusiast who never smoked a day in her life. But when she signed up for a routine health scan “just to be safe,” she discovered the unthinkable: fast-growing stage I lung cancer. In her searing and hopeful memoir, Shira Kupperman Boehler tells the story of how one moment upended everything—and how it may have saved her life.

A healthcare AI expert examines how artificial intelligence can either undermine or enhance the doctor-patient relationship, offering frameworks to keep medicine human-centered. Subjects to Sovereigns explores what happens when the most powerful AI systems in medicine make decisions about patients who are never really heard? For most of modern medicine, patients have been treated as data points inside someone else’s system. Artificial intelligence risks locking that pattern in forever.

Organizations have invested $30–40 billion in AI. According to MIT (2025), 95% produced no measurable return. Only 5% made it into daily workflows. If you're reading this, you're trying not to become that statistic—or you already are. The problem isn't bad technology. Most AI failures don't begin at scale. They begin during pilots, when early success builds confidence without revealing risks that surface once AI enters real workflows and decisions under pressure.

Nuclear energy stands at the crossroads of fear and necessity, science and public imagination, catastrophe and promise. This book offers a clear, penetrating examination of one of humanity’s most consequential technologies—its origins in cosmic processes, its role in the modern energy landscape, the accidents that shaped its reputation, and the profound ethical questions that surround its use. Rather than taking sides, it illuminates the hidden mechanisms, political pressures, psychological forces, and historical legacies that form the real structure of the nuclear debate.

In Hands Off My Food!, Dr. Sina McCullough exposes the hidden forces manipulating what ends up on your plate—from unelected bureaucrats making top-down decisions about your food, to multinational biotech corporations pushing untested technologies into the food supply, to regulatory frameworks that prioritize industry profits over public health. With clarity, urgency, and meticulously sourced research, this book reveals how the basic right to choose what we eat is being undermined—often without our knowledge or consent.

Humanitarian crises are a central problem of modern history and contemporary international relations. Since the 1990s, the aid sector has ballooned in size and is now a multi-billion-dollar industry.

What if the most dangerous force in economics isn’t greed or fraud—but agreement? In Collapse by Committee, James G. Woods II investigates the economic disasters that weren’t caused by lone wolves or rogue traders, but by groups of educated, well-intentioned leaders who, together, made catastrophic decisions. Across decades and continents, history reveals a troubling truth: when ego meets consensus and data is buried under politics, markets fall hard.

Let's face it—no one wants to become an expert in health care. But here you are, looking at this audiobook, which means you or someone you love is about to dive headfirst into the confusing labyrinth of insurance forms, hospitals, nursing homes, and of course, the ever elusive skilled nursing facility (what does that even mean, right?). But don't worry, you're in good hands.

Bandwidth Recovery explores how students' cognitive resources are diminished by persistent economic insecurity, childhood trauma, and marginalization, while offering strategies and interventions to help learners regain the bandwidth they need to succeed in college. When college students feel like they don't belong, much of the mental bandwidth needed for learning is not available. When they are food insecure, financially unstable, or coping with the effects of childhood trauma, cognitive capacity is likewise diminished.

Neste estudo de dez anos, Diana Greene Foster e uma equipe de pesquisadores acompanharam cerca de mil mulheres americanas que procuraram clínicas de aborto decididas a interromper a gravidez. Muitas, por razões diversas, não conseguiram. Este audiolivro investiga o que aconteceu com todas elas – a partir de entrevistas periódicas que avaliaram diferentes esferas da vida das mulheres: saúde física e mental, carreira, relacionamentos românticos e cuidados com outros filhos, quando já eram mães.

New technologies are offering companies, politicians, and others unprecedented opportunity to manipulate us. Sometimes we are given the illusion of power—of freedom—through choice, yet the game is rigged, pushing us in specific directions that lead to less wealth, worse health, and weaker democracy.

When gun control legislation emerged in the 1960s, many Americans, accustomed to the unregulated postwar bounty of cheap guns and fearful of Soviet invasion, domestic subversion, and urban uprisings, fiercely challenged it. Meanwhile, gun control groups were diverted from their abolitionist roots toward a conciliatory, fundraising-focused strategy that struggled to limit the stockpiling of firearms. Gun Country recasts the story of guns in postwar America as one of Cold War and racial anxieties, unfettered capitalism, and exceptional violence that continues to haunt us.

The United States faces a serious retirement challenge. Many of today's workers will lack the resources to retire at traditional ages and maintain their standard of living in retirement. Solving the problem is a major challenge in today's environment in which risk and responsibility have shifted from government and employers to individuals. For this reason, Charles D. Ellis, Alicia H. Munnell, and Andrew D. Eschtruth have written this concise guide for anyone concerned about their own—and the nation's—retirement security.

As a busy surgeon who has worked in many of the best hospitals in the nation, he can testify to the amazing power of modern medicine to cure. But he's also been a witness to a medical culture that routinely leaves surgical sponges inside patients, amputates the wrong limbs, and overdoses children because of sloppy handwriting. Over the last ten years, neither error rates nor costs have come down, despite scientific progress and efforts to curb expenses. To patients, the healthcare system is a black box.
