"Evolving technology and a shift to consumer-driven healthcare will continue to transform the industry. The Cyber Patient is a comprehensive exploration into the current and future innovations that leverage cloud-based technology to breakdown information system and database silos. True patient-centric care begins and ends with seamless access to these data. Similar to disruptions in other industries (e.g., Blockbuster vs. Netflix), technology and consumer demands for access and convenience will push organizations to innovate and collaborate in new ways. This book is a must read for healthcare informaticist professionals and health systems leaders looking to position themselves for success in an ever-changing market." Dennis R. Delisle, Sc.D, FACHE, Jefferson HealthSenior Director, Operations- South PhiladelphiaPresident & CEO, Methodist Hospital FoundationAssistant Program Director, Operational Excellence | TJU College of Population Health  "The Cyber Patient" describes how technology is reorganizing health care toward a new level of interconnectivity. But more importantly, it explains how we can ride these changes to optimize patient-provider relationships, giving us tools and time to effectively listen to patients and individualize care. This book guides us toward the conscious use of e-health to enhance, not replace, the care in healthcare."Fran London, MS, RNAuthor of No Time to Teach: The Essence of Patient and Family Education for Health Care Providers "The Cyber Patient is another component of the evolution of utilizing technology within healthcare. It demonstrates how providers can now manage patients via virtual visits all within the revenue cycle. Without a doubt it’s definitely the future with IoT but most importantly how we in IT should start preparing for new roles within cyber healthcare environment." Donna Hart, former CIO at Cook County Health, 2015 Award recipient of HIMSS HIT award for enhancing patient care through health IT and achieved HIMSS 7 EMR recognition for 2017/2018 "The Cyber Patient represents a vision and necessary roadmap for healthcare as it transforms into a digital industry. The virtual connection has the promise for connecting and delivering services with a much greater value proposition than traditional models and consistent with other industries. Rebecca hits the nail on the head with the promotion of self-service as the patient becomes the provider through advanced analytics and artificial intelligence and also becomes the destination center for health and services utilizing technology as the primary channel. A must read for those looking to enter into the healthcare field and for those within the industry that want to lead and accelerate the advancement of health."Craig Richardville, MBA, FACHE, FHIMSS former Senior Vice President and CIO Carolinas HealthCare System (now called Atrium Health); award recipient CIO of the Year from InspireCIO (2017); HIMSS (2015); Charlotte Business Journal (2013); Most Wired designation (14 years); HIMSS EMR adoption Model Stage 7 (2017)"If you find yourself struggling to build a strategy that recognizes the upheavals brought about by the use of information and technology in healthcare, The Cyber Patient digs into the implications for case management, staff roles, payment cycles, organizational efficiency and more. This book unlocks a way of approaching a future in which data is an asset with the power to guide any strategy focused on better care and performance."Rod Piechowski, MA, CPHIMSSenior Director, HISHIMSS North America

The Cyber Patient

“The chapter on data mining, direct mailing, and the new role of the federal post office in the advertising during the late 19th and mostly the early 20th century is densely citational with delicious detail, all organized according to a central thesis. I believe this chapter will likely be heavily utilized and referenced by future economic historians of advertising and marketing.”- Jack Amariglio, Professor Emeritus, Merrimack College“I find Sherman’s work on advertising extremely clear, rigorous, and persuasive. I am not exaggerating in saying that I find her work the best I have seen as a rigorous analytical treatment of the theme of the ‘culture industry.’”- Antonio Callari, Professor, Franklin and Marshall College“Since Marx wrote of the fetishism of commodities and Polanyi explored fictitious commodities, it has been clear that a key to understanding market economies is in the social creation of the commodity. This is what Zoe Sherman is doing: working as a historian as well as a social scientist, she is reconstructing the political and social creation of consumer attention as a commodity.”- Gerald Friedman, Professor, University of Massachusetts Amherst

"Baylor Scott & White Health’s approach to achieving the Triple Aim is both innovative and proven. This book provides the practical information and real-life examples that individuals and organizations will find extraordinarily useful to improve and enhance care in their settings ... it is a ‘must have’ for anyone interested in maximizing patient safety."—Beth Mancini, RN, PhD, NE-BC, FAHA, ANEF, FAAN, Professor, Associate Dean, and Chair of the Undergraduate Nursing Programs, University of Texas at Arlington College of Nursing and Health Innovation; Baylor Professor for Healthcare Research"Baylor Scott & White Health is way out in front of the pack in their approach to safety, using a true systems approach, embedding PhD-level human factors engineers in their safety program, and creating a robust training program for their safety teams in the science of safety. This is a system worth watching."—Rollin J. (Terry) Fairbanks, MD MS, Director, National Center for Human Factors in Healthcare; Director, Simulation Training & Education Lab (MedStar SiTEL); MedStar Institute for Innovation, MedStar Health; Associate Professor of Emergency Medicine, Georgetown University"There is no better way to evaluate an approach than to introduce it. Baylor Scott & White Health has done this with STEEEP to great effect. There are lessons aplenty in this excellent publication from Baylor Scott & White Health."—Peter Carter, Chief Executive Officer, International Society for Quality in Health Care"Jan Compton and her colleagues at Baylor Scott & White Health have produced a valuable compendium reflecting the intentional efforts to systematically improve care across their health system. This intentional work has resulted in a considerably safer care environment for both patients and the people providing care."—Michael Leonard, MD, Managing Partner, Safe & Reliable Healthcare LLC; Adjunct Professor of Medicine, Duke University School of Medicine"Measuring and reducing patient harm is central to delivering safe and reliable health care and yet, based on the evidence, remains a challenge for most. STEEEP care created an even higher standard by pioneering preventable risk, one of many ways in which Baylor Scott & White Health (BSWH) has proven a trailblazer in high reliability. This book is a gift to the field and demonstrates how BSWH will remain a leader in this next generation of patient care."—Drew Ladner, MBA, MA, Chairman & CEO, Pascal Metrics "In this book, Baylor Scott & White Health has once again illustrated why it's a leader in the field of medicine. If every hospital in America was as direct in its goal to reduce patient harm, we could cut preventable deaths by a significant number. While no one has all of the answers to solving the patient safety problem in this country, Baylor Scott & White Health is leading the way to reach zero preventable deaths. We thank them for their commitment to patients."—Laura Batz Townsend, Co-Founder & President, Louise H.

Portraits and Observations

"As the knowledge base about brain function has expanded, so too has our scope of practice in art therapy. For years I have seen cognitively impaired and traumatized patients seem to improve attention, integration, memory, and resilience through the art-making process; now there are clear links showing how art therapy remediates these parameters. I applaud Ms. King’s book, which demystifies neuroscience and enlightens the contribution of art therapy as an effective treatment."
Irene Rosner David, PhD, ATR-BC, LCAT, HLM, director of therapeutic arts at Bellevue Hospital Center in New York City
"This volume captures an array of trauma-related topics and clinical wisdom that demonstrate our ever-growing understanding of the interface of art therapy approaches and neuroscience. The authors thoughtfully apply their knowledge of visual art and the brain to build a bridge that links expressive work with how sensory-based, practical techniques can help heal body and mind. Art Therapy, Trauma, and Neuroscience definitely opens up a conversation about brain-based interventions for creative arts therapists and professionals in related fields interested in applying these principles in work with a variety of populations."
Cathy Malchiodi, PhD, LPCC, LPAT, ATR-BC, REAT, executive director of the Trauma-Informed Practices and Expressive Arts Therapy Institute in Louisville, Kentucky
"This timely book offers excellent examples of various applications of scientific knowledge to the practice of art therapy. A valuable contribution to the profession, this volume will enhance the readers’ understanding of art therapy and trauma and the facilitation of change inherent in art therapy treatment."
Linda M. Chapman, MA, ATR-BC, director of the Art Therapy Institute of the Redwoods, Redwood Valley, California
"Art Therapy, Trauma, and Neuroscience contains a wealth of information that can be utilized by art therapists working with clients recovering from trauma. It provides an accessible and accurate overview of current concepts in neuroscience, along with a wide variety of conceptual frameworks and models for understanding the relationship between neuroanatomical functions associated with visual expression and those involved in trauma and recovery. The included case studies provide clear examples of how each model informs individualized art therapy work."
Christianne E. Strang, PhD, ATR-BC, research instructor in the department of psychology at the University of Alabama, Birmingham

The Life of William Wilberforce. Volume 1 of 5

"As a framework for a fundamentally new form of cooperation between radically different economies, polities and societies, the Belt and Road Initiative would seek to recast the political-economic geography of the twenty-first century. The essays of this volume take the reader through the vast diversity of perspectives on this ideal. It is a provocatively informative read."
Ross King, author of Seouland Kuala Lumpur and Putrajaya
"Using a bottom-up approach, this book is undoubtedly an encyclopaedic masterpiece about the Belt and Road Initiative, which is rich in basic information and perspectives, written by specialist experts of specific countries. This book offers an in-depth interpretation of the re-globalisation, the role of China and recipient nations, the world’s geopolitical economy, and the driving forces of future world development."
Chaolin Gu, Tsinghua University
"The latest book on the global 'new Silk Road' constitutes a stimulating and timely effort. The multi-disciplinary assessment studies provide amazing insights from twelve countries. The key words of mutual benefits, cooperation and peace are balanced against the notion of Chinese neo-colonialism. China’s 'mapping of globalization' has not reached a period of full impact on the entire world yet, but future studies might show whether it is ultimately as beneficial as the authors and editors expect in this remarkable new book."
H. Detlef Kammeier, Professor of Urban and Regional Planning, Asian Institute of Technology, Bangkok
"China's Belt and Road Initiative is a major force for political and economic change, both in South East-Asia and beyond. Some view it as wholly beneficial, others as deeply worrying. This book provides a valuable balanced, critical, bottom-up approach which examines the impact and reactions to the BRI in a variety of countries."

"Australian English is a dynamic epi-centre of global English, the third one next to British and American English. This book edited by Willoughby and Manns assesses the rich current state of research and suggests future avenues to increase knowledge of Australia’s mainstream, ethnic and regional Englishes, the theories that develop under its influence in sociolinguistics and educational politics, and shows how Australian identitites are being recast." - Gerhard Leitner, Institute of English Language and Literature, Freie Universität Berlin, Germany"Australian English Reimagined is a comprehensive account of Englishes in Australia. It synthesizes a rich body of historic and contemporary research to interrogate our commonly-held beliefs about our language and how it is changing. This volume explores the intersection of language and social factors such as gender, ethnicity, socio-economic status, age and attitudes. It considers the origins of Australian English, the colloquialisation of its syntax, the influence of other regional varieties and the uniqueness of Aboriginal and migrant varieties. Peppered with delightfully illustrative details, this makes for a wonderfully absorbing read." - Rebecca Swain, Project Coordinator at Digital Learning Design & Teacher of English, Carey Baptist Grammar School, Australia"As an update on the state of knowledge on Australian English, this edited volume would be hard to beat. It surveys the major research in a digestible fashion, providing extensive bibliographies to the chapters. It charts the movement across time from English in Australia to Australian English, its origins and development, and national acceptance as its own standard. The book ranges across distinctive structures and features, discourse stand-outs like yeah no and final but, and the gamut of vowel and consonant forms. It covers regional and ethnic variation, including Aboriginal Englishes, the influence of americanization, and the greater impetus towards informality that marks AusEng off from other Englishes. The authors are a who’s-who of the research community, skilfully brought together by the editors, Willoughby and Manns. This is a book to relish." – Allan Bell, Emeritus Professor of Language & Communication, Auckland University of Technology, New Zealand

'Animal Cities provides a valuable introduction to the growing field of animal history. Its nine essays explore a variety of issues relating to animals in an urban context, connected their presence or exclusion to the changing culture and fabric of the city. All of the essays are worth reading, but those of Atkins, constituting half of those in the volume, are especially penetrating. I strongly recommend the book to urban and environmental historians.' Joel Tarr, Carnegie Mellon University, USA  'Animal Cities offers an important contribution to a neglected field of study, opening up an array of questions that deserve further attention. It positions animals not as peripheral participants of the city, but as central to historical stages of urbanisation. Most importantly, the history of our changing relationships with productive animals raises questions about how we define the good city today.' LSE Review of Books  '... this volume has much to recommend it. It provides a wealth of data into the role and presence of animals in nineteenth-century British, French, and Australian cities, and offers insight into how and why animal populations decreased. It therefore makes an important contribution to urban geography and urban environmental history.' H-Urban/H-Net  'Animal Cities provides a useful extension of geographical scholarship on animals in the urban context. This book is a welcome addition to geography’s many branches, not only historical, animal, and urban, but also the geography of political economy and political ecology.' Journal of Historical Geography  'The authors’ detailed historical analyses also raise important questions as to how and where animals should coexist with people in the city of today and the future. These questions become ever more salient as the world’s cities continue to grow.' Environmental History  'One of the most commendable aspects of Animal Cities is its minimal use of academic jargon ...it will appeal primarily to urban and envir

'Olli-Pekka Vainio presents a superb treatment of the theological and philosophical issues swirling around "fideism". He not only treats his various sources with care and skillfully brings readers into the conversation, he also charts new territory in helping us think through the relation of theological rationality and core Christian doctrines. Anyone interested in postliberal theology, Reformed or Catholic epistemology and the relation between faith and reason will need to read and consider this work carefully. It represents the best presentation of these matters to date.' Stephen D, Long, Marquette University, USA

'Democracy Beyond the Nation State is a collection of synoptic surveys of contemporary communities of participatory democracy in which the participants treat each other as equals from around the world and the author’s careful reflections on them. It makes a very important contribution to the growing field of local/global self-organising and self-governing associations of egalitarian democratic practice beyond the dominant representative model of democracy.' - James Tully, Contributor to On Global Citizenship (Bloomsbury 2014) & Freedom and Democracy in an Imperial Context (Routledge 2014)
'This important book shows how "practicing equality" is essential to any substantive account of democracy. Through a series of examples of global and local solidarity, participation, and assembly, Joe Parker demonstrates how equality can, and does, achieve concrete meaning in the practices of communities. Defying the debates that assume that principles and practices are distinct, Parker insists that equality is to be found in a number of practices that materialize and transform principles. Shifting our attention away from abstraction and toward popular and enacted forms of democracy, this crucial book considers how groups constitute and distribute power in an effort to produce democratic forms of life with equality at their center. With cogent analyses of groups such the Zapatista Movement, those engaged in indigenous activism, resistance movements in Burma and India, the International Women's Assembly, and Global Slum Dwellers, Parker gives us a vital history that furthers the ethical domain of democratic co-habitation that crosses the division between local and global. An inspired and inspiring read and an opening toward the future of democracy.' - Judith Butler, UC Berkeley, Author of Notes Toward a Performative Theory of Assembly
'With the nation state, and hence democracy as we have known it, in deep and multiple crises, the renewal of democracy on the foundation of equality depends on being attentive to the emergence of democratic and egalitarian self-government independent of—and sometimes up against—the nation state. Joe Parker's attentive study of indigenous practices, popular democracies and a variety of forms of everyday democracy provides us with an invaluable resource for envisaging—and implementing—egalitarian strategies for democratic practice beyond the nation state. Essential reading for anyone working to create new politics from the left!' - Hilary Wainwright author of Reclaim the State, Experiments in Popular Democracy, co-editor of Red Pepper, Fellow Transnational Institute
