Brotherhood

release date: Feb 14, 2012
Brotherhood
From the author of Beneath a Scarlet Sky comes a story that is "Diabolical! Filled with twists, turns, crosses and double-crosses...a harrowing international thriller" —Lisa Gardner Robin Monarch is a man with a complicated, secret past and a very grim future. Currently locked up in the USDB—the military supermax prison known as Leavenworth—the CIA offers Monarch one shot at freedom and a pardon. All he has to do is steal something from a highly secure position at ground zero of a war-zone and escape undetected. But this isn''t Monarch''s first time at this sort of dance—as an orphaned teen scraping for survival on the streets of Buenos Aires he was involved with the Fraternidad de Ladrones—the Brotherhood that schooled him the art of deception and survival. But his initiation rite is to take all the skills he has learned, and all the nerve he possesses and steal something of great value under impossible circumstances. In both cases, success will require everything he has—skill, wit, endurance, and intelligence—and means survival and freedom. And failure...failure is to lose all that he has. Introducing Robin Monarch ("a Jason Bourne for the new millenium" —James Rollins) in the first in a series of standalone short stories. Think Bourne. Think Bond. Think better.

Brotherhood and Others
From the author of the bestselling Beneath a Scarlet Sky comes Robin Monarch––called "one of the most compelling heroes since Jason Bourne" (Lisa Gardner)–– in three propulsive, nerve-wracking stories. BROTHERHOOD Robin Monarch is a man with a complicated, secret past and a very grim future. Currently locked up in the USDB—the military supermax prison known as Leavenworth—the CIA offers Monarch one shot at freedom and a pardon. All he has to do is steal something from a highly secure position at ground zero of a war-zone, and escape undetected. But this isn''t Monarch''s first time at this sort of dance. As an orphaned teen scraping for survival on the streets of Buenos Aires he was involved with the Fraternidad de Ladrones—the Brotherhood that schooled him in the art of deception and survival. But his initiation rite requires him to use all the skills he has learned, and all the nerve he possesses, to steal something of great value under impossible circumstances. In both cases, success will require everything he has—skill, wit, endurance, and intelligence—and means survival and freedom. And failure...failure is to lose all that he has. ART OF RENDITION Monarch is now an agent for the CIA, and is called upon to use his unique skills to kidnap and interrogate a Russian nuclear scientist suspected of selling technology to the Iranians. But that''s only part of the challenge—one that many trained agents could handle effectively. They''ve called upon Monarch because, after the interrogation, he must return the scientist without the Russians, the Iranians, or the scientist himself ever knowing he was taken. ESCAPE ARTIST Monarch''s abilities––and his nerve––are both tested when he''s sent deep into the jungles of the Congo, into the encampment of an army of boy-soldiers under the leadership of a man calling himself Lieutenant Zed. Undercover as a black market diamond dealer, Monarch''s job is to steal the largest, most perfect diamond ever seen, before Zed is able to sell it and use the proceeds to continue waging war. But as any thief could tell you, getting in is the easy part. Getting out, however, from the heart of an unfamiliar jungle with a hostile ‘army'' at your back, requires more skill and luck that even Robin Monarch can count on.

The Patient as Agent of Health and Health Care

release date: Dec 15, 2016
The Patient as Agent of Health and Health Care
Patient-centered care for chronic illness is founded upon the informed and activated patient, but we are not clear what this means. We must understand patients as subjects who know things and as agents who do things. Bioethics has urged us to respect patient autonomy, but it has understood this autonomy narrowly in terms of informed consent for treatment choice. In chronic illness care, the ethical and clinical challenge is to not just respect, but to promote patient autonomy, understood broadly as the patients'' overall agency or capacity for action. The primary barrier to patient action in chronic illness is not clinicians dictating treatment choice, but clinicians dictating the nature of the clinical problem. The patient''s perspective on clinical problems is now often added to the objective-disease perspective of clinicians as health-related quality of life (HRQL). But HRQL is merely a hybrid transitional concept between disease-focused and health-focused goals for clinical care. Truly patient-centered care requires a sense of patient-centered health that is perceived by the patient and defined in terms of the patient''s vital goals. Patient action is an essential means to this patient-centered health, as well as an essential component of this health. This action is not extrinsically motivated adherence, but intrinsically motivated striving for vital goals. Modern pathophysiological medicine has trouble understanding both patient action and health. The self-moving and self-healing capacities of patients can be understood only if we understand their roots in the biological autonomy of organisms. Taking the patient as the primary perceiver and producer of health has the following policy implications: 1] Care will become patient-centered only when the patient is the primary customer of care. 2] Professional health services are not the principal source of population health, and may lead to clinical, social and cultural iatrogenic injury. 3] Social justice demands equity in health capability more than equal access to health services.

Come to Dust

release date: Mar 01, 2016
Come to Dust
A Tomb is Discovered in the Heart of the Holy Land... with a message that strikes out at The Vatican and defies any power claiming spiritual authority. This book had for a source a U.S. intelligence agent with an Einsteinian IQ who once worked in Jerusalem, Mecca, and Gaza. The attention given by power centers to important religious relics is far greater than one could ever imagine on the outside. At the center of the story is a peculiar IDF soldier, a computer genius named Gad Kaplan, who finds the tomb. Because of the nature of the spiritual message, he decides to take any risk to disseminate it. He also believes he is learning how the mind of God works, and that for humanity to survive itself certain things must coincide and even detonate -- as with stars that explode to give birth to the elements that make us what we are. He must work to get all these elements into his hands and make sure, this time, that God''s message gets delivered, in spite of the intentions of the Vatican and others. This is a story about the politics of religion, a ''what if'' scenario meant to show how our all-too-human religious drama actually unfolds. "The human race is governed by imagination." -- Napoleon

The Education of an American

The Education of an American
Mark Sullivan has stood for years at the top of his profession. Hundreds of thousands of readers have followed his widely syndicated column with avid interest. His fame as a journalist has been, since the publication and enthusiastic reception of the successive volumes of Our Time, at least equaled by his reputation as a historian. And his fascinating book is, too, a kind of history. In it we see the last half century of this country through the eyes of a highly intelligent man, whose chief characteristic seems to have been an intense curiosity about everyone and everything. -- Front book flap.

Telecommunications-transportation-energy Interaction

release date: Jan 01, 1993
Telecommunications-transportation-energy Interaction
The substitution of transportation by telecommunications has long been advocated as an approach that might eventually alleviate the demand placed on transportation facilities and thereby reduce fuel consumption and air pollutant emissions. With increasing penetration of telecommunications in individual homes and businesses, coupled with the widespread availability of computing equipment, facsimile capabilities and the like, there is renewed interest in exploring and encouraging telecommuting arrangements. These include work-at-home schemes and workplace decentralization with satellite work centers, as well as many other nontraditional approaches to structuring workplace activities and worker responsibilities. The aim of this project is to address the travel behavior implications of telecommuting, and determine the potential of telecommuting to improve urban mobility and reduce fuel consumption. The following objectives will be addressed: 1) prepare a synthesis of existing experience with telecommuting from the standpoint of travel behavior and fuel consumption; 2) characterize telecommunications-tripmaking-energy interactions at the individual and household levels, focusing on travel behavior within a dynamic activity-based framework; 3) develop a predictive approach to assess the energy consumption consequences of telecommmuting; and 4) develop recommendations for possible implementation strategies and for future travel and energy demand forecasting.
