Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. What happens when healthcare innovation meets international collaboration?Chaos. Expensive, well-documented chaos.Healthcare Disruption & Entropy, 4th Ed. follows twelve healthcare professionals from around the world as they form an international working group to share best practices and transfo…rm patient care. Their mission: innovation. Their method: systematic. Their outcome: catastrophic.Watch as they: Spend millions developing patient surveys requiring philosophy degreesCreate credentialing systems that eliminate physicians faster than they can be trainedForm 18-month committees to decide how to ask patients if they're satisfiedImport each other's worst ideas and call it "international collaboration"Measure everything except what mattersRebrand every failure as "implementation learning"Through brilliant satire and razor-sharp wit, this novel exposes the bureaucratic insanity of modern healthcare administration. From Boston to Berlin, Paris to Ottawa, witness intelligent professionals make terrible decisions systematically, measure activity instead of outcomes, and mistake complexity for sophistication.You'll recognize these characters immediately: The American administrator who hasn't seen a patient in years but speaks fluently in corporate healthcare buzzwordsThe German professor who believes documentation prevents entropyThe French physician who treats phenomenology as medical scienceThe British doctor who apologizes while making everything worseThe Canadian who forms committees to study committee formationAnd the lone voices of reason who quit in disgustPerfect for healthcare professionals, administrators, consultants, policy makers, MBA students, and anyone who's survived a "transformation initiative."What readers are or might be saying: "This is the healthcare management book they'd never assign in business school because it tells the truth.""I've been that consultant. I've given those presentations. I feel attacked and I love it.""Finally someone explains why every healthcare improvement project fails the same way.""Catch-22 meets healthcare administration. Absolutely brilliant." This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. What if the point of life isn't to get somewhere else, but to be fully present where you are?Henry Wade knows. At fifty-one, he's spent nearly three decades tending the same peach orchard his grandfather bought in 1952. He wakes before dawn, makes coffee in the quiet dark, and walks out to meet…the trees. In spring, he prunes. In summer, he harvests. In fall, he prepares. In winter, he rests. The cycle repeats, and Henry is content.California Peaches follows one complete year at Dusty Creek Orchard-a place where time moves with the seasons, work is measured in full crates and aching muscles, and wisdom grows as naturally as fruit on a branch. Through thirty-six short chapters, readers experience the rhythms of farming life: the patience required to wait for ripeness, the satisfaction of a day's honest work, the quiet companionship of barn cats, the beauty of pink blossoms against a blue sky.This isn't a story about dramatic change or overcoming obstacles. It's about something rarer: a man who has found enough and knows it. Henry doesn't preach about contentment-he simply lives it, one peach at a time.Perfect for: Readers ages 10+ seeking something gentler and more meaningfulAdults longing for a slower pace and deeper presenceFamilies reading together across generationsAnyone tired of hustle culture and hungry for a different wayFans of Charlotte's Web, Because of Winn-Dixie, and quiet literary fictionReaders will learn: The rhythms of seasonal farming and peach cultivationThe value of patience, presence, and paying attentionThat contentment isn't found by getting somewhere elseThe satisfaction of work done with careThat ordinary days can be extraordinaryKEY FEATURES: Multigenerational appeal-wisdom for adults, accessible for young readers No violence, no manufactured drama, no villain to defeat Celebrates rural life, manual labor, and choosing simplicity Embedded philosophy through action, not lectures Ends where it begins-the cycle continues, and that's beautiful Perfect for slow reading, bedtime stories, or contemplative momentsCATEGORIES/KEYWORDS: Primary Categories: Juvenile Fiction / Family / MultigenerationalJuvenile Fiction / Social Themes / Values & VirtuesFiction / LiteraryFiction / Small Town & RuralKeywords: peach farmingCalifornia agriculturecontentmentseasonsmindfulness for kidsslow livingmultigenerational fictiongentle storiesliterary middle gradecoming-of-agework ethicsimple livingorchard lifefarming fictiontimeless stories This item is printed on demand.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. They saw the crash coming. They profited anyway. Five Wall Street quants form a math rock band in 1994. Their music critiques the financial systems they help build by day. Their lyrics warn about derivatives, leverage, systemic risk-everything that will cause the 2008 collapse. The collapse happ…ens exactly as predicted. They were right about everything. It changes nothing. After the crash, they scatter. Then crypto arrives. Same people, new technology, identical contradictions. They reunite as Consensus Protocol, making music about blockchain while consulting for the industry. Luna/Terra collapses. FTX collapses. They see it coming every time. Can you critique a system from inside the system? Can awareness of complicity prevent complicity? What happens when understanding the trap doesn't help you escape it? The Derivatives / Consensus Protocol follows thirty years of sophisticated failure-from mortgage-backed securities to NFTs, from Greenwich Village practice spaces to Miami crypto conferences, from 2008's financial crisis to 2022's crypto winter. It's a novel about five people who know exactly what they're doing wrong and do it anyway. About Mr. Chang, who accidentally joins their group text and becomes their most honest observer. About the gap between knowing and doing, between critique and participation, between saying "fuck you" and saying "same time tomorrow." The ending? There are four of them. Choose the one that satisfies you. Or reject them all. Or accept that maybe the trap is permanent and the only honest response is to keep showing up anyway. For readers who loved: Infinite Jest (but faster)The Big Short (but weirder)The Pale King (also unfinished but with drums)A philosophical satire about the impossibility of ethical existence under late capitalism, told through 29 years of music, mathematics, and mounting exhaustion. Same time tomorrow? Yeah. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Are you conscious right now?Are you sure?Garrett plays piano in a cover band. He's competent, professional, and increasingly uncertain whether he's actually conscious during performances. This would be concerning if he were alone in his crisis, but his entire band is having the same realization.…They're not creating. They're reproducing. Playing songs written by other people, arrangements they've performed a thousand times, for audiences who mostly aren't listening. Somewhere along the way, they've stopped being present for their own lives. Or maybe they were never present to begin with.What follows is a tour through the varieties of consciousness-or lack thereof: Dennis, who reorganizes overhead bins because bags stored "on their sides" create "more overhead" (he's very literal)A flight attendant who deliberately pretends not to understand "stevia" for 83 minutesKyle, a 3 AM waiter who takes perfect orders while apparently asleepMadison, who takes 23 photos of a "spontaneous moment" and argues this makes her MORE authenticA smart speaker who may or may not be conscious and definitely can't tellA GPS that knows their life trajectory better than they doDominic, a hotel breakfast attendant who tells the same family trauma story to every guest and remembers none of themMartin, who resets every ten minutes and asks "am I conscious?" repeatedly without remembering the answerVic's unconscious alter-ego who plays bass brilliantly while sleepwalking and speaks in fortune-cookie profunditiesThomas the mime, who performs the same routines for twenty-two years and is genuinely present maybe once a monthAs the band accumulates examples of questionable consciousness-including their own-they're forced to confront an uncomfortable possibility: maybe consciousness isn't what makes us human. Maybe it's barely there at all. And maybe that's okay.THE HARD PROBLEM OF COVER BANDS is a novel about mimicry, presence, and the suspicion that we're all just cover bands performing learned behaviors while wondering if anyone's actually home.Perfect for readers who enjoy: Literary fiction with humor and heartPhilosophical questions wrapped in absurd comedyEnsemble casts of lovably neurotic charactersBooks that make you laugh and then make you think (and then make you laugh about thinking)Stories about artists, performers, and creative crisesExplorations of consciousness that don't require a philosophy degree This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
