Paperback. Condition: Good. A must read for caregivers, individuals with serious illnesses, their loved ones who care about their care, and elected officials. Using the reporter's skill of interviewing, analyzing and explaining, Ellen Rand tells us what does not work today on our path to death and how the system can be changed so that we can die with dignity, in comfort and with those we love around us. She explains why it is time to tear down the wall that separates hospice care from palliative care, the wall that separates those who want to continue treating their illness yet would like to die a natural death and the wall that reimburses for all sorts of medical procedures and tests but not for compassionate discussion. Rand explains why the nursing assistant in a nursing home, ostensibly at the bottom of the professional totem pole, is the key to good compassionate care and why she needs to have the autonomy to be effective. She explains why there is just too much paperwork necessary in hospice care just as there is in all of health care--taking the caregiver's time away from the patient. She describes the lack of training of physicians to engage in meaningful listening conversation about medical care in general and end of life care in particular. And the importance of training in palliative care, empathy, interprofessional collaboration and care coordination. Rand refers to the studies of physicians who consistently state--contrary to how most physicians actually practice--that they would not want aggressive end of life care but rather a care system more akin to that found in hospice and with good palliative care beforehand. Importantly, the author understands that for change to occur, it will take the concerted efforts of many, working together. She uses examples of leading politicians who understand what needs to happen but can only make it happen if there is a groundswell of public outcry for change. I am reminded of a phrase from Abraham Lincoln 'Public sentiment is everything. With public sentiment, nothing can fail. Without it, nothing can succeed.' --Stephen C Schimpff, MD Internist, professor, former CEO of the University of Maryland Medical Center and author of Fixing the Primary Care Crisis: Reclaiming Relationship Medicine and Returning Healthcare Decisions To You And Your Doctor. Journalist Ellen Rand embedded herself in the front lines of end-of-life care and became a participant in the quest to transform dying. To anyone perplexed by why so many Americans die badly when so many en-lightened alternatives exist, Last Comforts provides answers and points the way to tangible solutions. Rand's investigative skills and wordcraft result in a must-read book, not only for healthcare and policy wonks, but more importantly, for any adult child bearing the weight of parent care. Authoritative and highly readable, Last Comforts is at once sobering and hopeful. --Ira Byock, MD, Founder and Chief Medical Officer.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. The world of real estate is changing. Are you changing with it?The real estate industry has to overcome challenges from the Disruptors who are promising a better, faster, and cheaper transaction; the Discounters who claim they can replicate our services for a fraction of the cost; and the Doubters in our midst who don't believe in the value of their work.But to overcome these challenges, we need to embrace change.

Paperback. Condition: Fair. Ayn Rand's classic tale of a dystopian future of the great We--a world that deprives individuals of a name or independence--that anticipates her later masterpieces, The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged. They existed only to serve the state. They were conceived in controlled Palaces of Mating. They died in the Home of the Useless. From cradle to grave, the crowd was one--the great WE. In all that was left of humanity there was only one man who dared to think, seek, and love. He lived in the dark ages of the future. In a loveless world, he dared to love the woman of his choice. In an age that had lost all trace of science and civilization, he had the courage to seek and find knowledge. But these were not the crimes for which he would be hunted. He was marked for death because he had committed the unpardonable sin: He had stood forth from the mindless human herd. He was a man alone. He had rediscovered the lost and holy word--I. I worship individuals for their highest possibilities as individuals, and I loathe humanity, for its failure to live up to these possibilities.--Ayn Rand.…

Paperback. Condition: Fair. Eleanor Wilner's sixth collection creates a mythology that sees a planet too small and a universe too immense to support humanity's illusions of importance. Her poems become a "choral work of the imagination" in which science is re-envisioned, gender assumptions challenged and beliefs rigorously questioned. As the old gods are reabsorbed into the modern world, Wilner discovers new insights into culture and the human psyche. "I have always treasured Wilner's poetry for its visionary amplitude and revolutionary intelligence."--Alicia Ostriker Eleanor Rand Wilner is the author of six books of poetry and the recipient of a MacArthur Fellowship. She lives in Philadelphia, teaches at Warren Wilson College, and is a lifelong activist for civil rights and peace.…

Condition: Good. One of the century's most challenging novels of ideas, The Fountainhead champions the cause of individualism through the story of a gifted young architect who defies the tyranny of conventional public opinion. The struggle for personal integrity in a world that values conformity above creativity is powerfully illustrated through three characters: Howard Roarke, the genius who is resented because he creates purely for the delight of his own work and on no other terms; Gail Wynand, the newspaper mogul and self-made millionaire whose power was bought by sacrificing his ideals to the lowest common denominator of public taste; and Dominique Francon, the devastating beauty whose desperate search for meaning has been twisted, through despair, into a quest to destroy the single object of her desire: Howard Roarke. Dramatic, poetic, and demanding, The Fountainhead remains one of the towering books on the contemporary intellectual scene.…
