Healing in a Changing America
A physician's candid guide to self-discovery and organizational effectiveness in the pursuit of health equity.In Healing in a Changing America, Dr. George Rust offers advice on improving health equity especially targeted to the people who need to hear it most: white men, many of whom are in leadership positions throughout health care systems and medical education. He shares lessons learned pursuing health equity in diverse settings on his personal journey as a white male physician, from training in a large urban public hospital and practicing in a rural farmworker clinic to teaching and leading in a historically Black medical school. This candid book confronts uncomfortable truths about the nuances of privilege, systemic inequities, and the role that leaders must play in creating inclusive, equitable health systems. How can we ensure diversity and build trust and strength within a health care organization? How do we know when our voice will be helpful—and when it will drown out others'? Through deeply personal and memorable stories, Rust addresses these questions and more. As an experienced educator, physician, and advocate, he helps individuals who are willing to confront their own biases and embrace the challenges of fostering diversity and equity in health care. From building trust and empowering underrepresented voices to promoting structural changes in medical education and practice, Rust shares the mistakes and successes of his own experience to equip readers with practical tools to effect meaningful change. Healing in a Changing America offers profound insight into the transformative power of humility, listening, and learning. Whether navigating the complexities of organizational leadership or grappling with societal shifts, this essential work inspires readers to become true allies in the pursuit of justice and equity.

Am I Normal?
'This is the story of all of the ways in which I didn't fit in and of all the things I would rather change about the world, than myself.'How many of us have at some time wondered 'Am I Normal?' And yet, our society is set up in such a way that there is very little room for difference or quirks or for us to question what normal really is.In this powerful, honest, and ultimately comforting book, mental fitness advocate and former A&E doctor Dr Alex George explores what it means to be "normal" in a society that often fails to embrace any kind of straying from the accepted path laid out by the expectations of others. After years spent trying to fit the mould of what others expected of him, Alex's ADHD diagnosis became a turning point - not just in understanding himself, or helping him navigate the highs and lows he had experienced in childhood, whilst working in A&E and after the devastating loss of his brother, but in challenging the systems and society that marginalise so many.This is a book that will give hope to anyone who has ever felt different and help you realise that your version of your normal is enough.

Natural Law and Evangelical Political Thought
Natural law has long been a cornerstone of Christian political thought, providing moral norms that ground law in a shareable account of human goods and obligations. Despite this history, twentieth and twenty-first-century evangelicals have proved quite reticent to embrace natural law, casting it as a relic of scholastic Roman Catholicism that underestimates the import of scripture and the division between Christians and non-Christians. As recent critics have noted, this reluctance has posed significant problems for the coherence and completeness of evangelical political reflections. Responding to evangelically-minded thinkers’ increasing calls for a re-engagement with natural law, this volume explores the problems and prospects attending evangelical rapprochement with natural law. Many of the chapters are optimistic about an evangelical re-appropriation of natural law, but note ways in which evangelical commitments might lend distinctive shape to this engagement.

Tragedy of the European Union
The European Union could soon be a thing of the past. Xenophobia is rampant and commonly reflected in elections across the continent. Great Britain may hold a referendum on whether to abandon the union altogether. Spurred by anti-EU sentiments due to the euro crisis, national interests conflict with a shared vision for the future of Europe. Is it too late to preserve the union that generated unprecedented peace for more than half a century?This is no mere academic question with limited importance for America and the rest of the world. In the past decade, the EU has declined from a unified global power to a fractious confederation of states with staggering unemployment resentfully seeking relief from a reluctant Germany. If the EU collapses and the former member states are transformed again from partners into rivals, the US and the world will confront the serious economic and political consequences that follow.In a series of revealing interviews conducted by Dr. Gregor Peter Schmitz, George Soros -- a man of vast European experience whose personal past informs his present concerns -- offers trenchant commentary and concise, prescriptive advice: The euro crisis was not an inevitable consequence of integration, but a result of avoidable mistakes in politics, economics, and finance; and excessive faith in the self-regulating financial markets that Soros calls market fundamentalism inspired flawed institutional structures that call out for reform. Despite the considerable perils of this period, George Soros maintains his faith in the European Union as a model of open society. This book is a testament to his vision for a peaceful and productive Europe.

Pyramid Approach
This book explains why virtually all children can achieve proficiency or higher. And it gives educators the tools to help them achieve those levels of learning.The notion that schools are “waiting for Superman” or Wonder Woman to rescue them is at best a fantasy and at worst, damaging to schools and school systems that advance this type of flawed thinking. This is why in this book the reader will be encouraged to embrace the concept that only through building effective teams (collective instructional leadership) will schools begin to realize their stated goal—educate “all” students. It may take a village to raise children but it takes collective instructional leadership to educate them. The book takes great care to ask policymakers, educators, parents, students and the larger community the questions they want answered:·Can you handle the truth?·Why is team leadership needed?·How do campuses improve their team dynamics?·What methods do high performing nations use to excel?·What strategies really work in high poverty schools?·Where do American schools rank on the rigor scale? ·What is trust and how is it developed?·What are campus learning disabilities?·How do beliefs about human capacity affect student achievement levels?·What methods motivate students to work hard?·What do we really mean when we say, “All children can learn”?The Pyramid Approach was designed by Dr. George Woodrow, Jr. for use by educators. The Pyramid is research-based; it aligns theory with professional practice. In addition, it strives to take what we know and provide a practical framework to effectively apply that same knowledge in ways that promotes student achievement. The Pyramid Approach calls attention to the need for a systematic framework that recognizes the interconnectedness among research methods.
