FIELD, JD, MPH, PhD,director of USP’s graduateprogram in health policyOxford University PressISBN 0-19-515968-3Regulation shapes all aspects of America’sfragmented health care industry, fromthe flow of dollars to the communicationbetween physicians and patients. It isthe engine that translates public policyinto action. While the health and lives ofpatients, as well as almost one-sixth of the national economy,depend on its effectiveness, health care regulation in America isbewilderingly complex. Government agencies at the federal, state,and local levels direct portions of the industry, but hundreds ofprivate organizations do so as well. Some of these overseers competewith one another, some conflict, and others collaborate. Theirinteraction is as important to the provision of health care as arethe laws and rules they implement.“A superbly clear and comprehensive description of thecomplex regulations of the American health care system.Should be read by anyone who wishes to navigate orreform that system.”Samuel O. Thier,Professor of Medicine and Professor of Health Care Policy,Harvard Medical SchoolHealth Care Regulation in America is a guide to this regulatorymaze. It succinctly recaps the past and present conflicts that haveguided the oversight of each industry segment over the past hundredyears and explains the structure of regulation today. To makethe system comprehensible, this book also presents the sweep ofregulatory policy in the context of the interests, values, goals, andissues that guide it. Chapters cover the process of regulation andeach key area of regulatory focus—professionals, institutions,financing arrangements, drugs and devices, public health, businessrelationships, and research.In a uniquely American way, the system thrives on confrontationbetween competing interests but survives by engendering compromise.Robert Field shows that health care regulation is an inexorableforce that nurtures as well as restricts the enterprise of Americanhealth care. For the student, practitioner, executive, policy analyst,or concerned citizen, this book is an invaluable guide to the policy,politics, and practice of an industry that directly touches us all.Brave New Universe: IlluminatingThe Darkest Secrets Of The CosmosPAUL HALPERN, PhD,professor of mathematics andphysics, and Paul Wesson, PhD(University of Waterloo, professorof physics)Joseph Henry PressISBN 0-309-10137-9In this glorious age for cosmology, astronomicalmeasurement has never been moreprecise. Using modern instruments such asthe Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe(WMAP), astronomers have found answersto long-elusive questions about the age and composition of theuniverse. With unprecedented confidence, they have revealed howlong the cosmos has been expanding since its beginning. They haveexamined how this growth has changed over time and have predictedits future course. Moreover, they have sorted the types of matter andenergy in the universe into various categories, pinpointing how muchof space contains ordinary materials—the stuff of stars and planets—and how much harbors other kinds of substances. By producing suchexact results, high-resolution satellite data and novel telescopictechniques have thereby transformed one of the most speculativefields into a triumph for meticulous scientific methods.Yet, like the excavation of ancient Troy, each layer revealedof cosmic information has unearthed hints of even deeper secrets.As clear data has emerged about the age and composition of theuniverse, cosmologists have encountered formidable issues underlyingthese results. For example, if, as the WMAP has revealed, only fourpercent of the universe constitutes ordinary matter, what is the natureof the remaining material? If, as telescopic measurements haveshown, all of space is accelerating, what is producing this fantastic“‘Not another book about the Big Bang!’ I hear you say.If you’ve always wanted to know what physicistsmean when they talk about such things as CP invarianceor left-handed neutrinos, it’s all here, plain as day.”Sara Lippincott, Los Angeles Times, December 10, 2006dynamo of energy? And if, as infrared searches have indicated,planetary systems are fairly common throughout the cosmos, whyhave we yet to encounter extraterrestrial beings?As we learn more about the universe, we question how much ofour experience is a function of our sensory limitations. Might time,space, and matter simply be illusions? How do human intelligenceand consciousness reflect the nature of physical reality? Does the existenceof life on Earth derive from a blend of unique cosmologicalfactors? Brave New Universe addresses these philosophical questionsand more—and its conclusions prove most extraordinary!
