At last week’s AAHPM meeting, some members of the Press staff had the opportunity to finally meet face-to-face with the authors of Making Health Care Whole: Christina Puchalski and Betty Ferrell. We could not have been more impressed with them, and we left feeling extra excited to share their work with as many people as possible. The video below is part one of a great two-part series that we found on Youtube, highlighting some of the great work that is being done by half of this dynamic duo. Check it out!

New Threats to Freedom
February 4, 2010
In our last post, we mentioned our new catalog and in this post, we’ll dig a little deeper into the titles contained therein. One of the books that has been getting the most interest so far is the new collection of essays, New Threats to Freedom. In it, you’ll find not only an impressive roster of contributors (including a Pulitzer prize winner, a Tony Award winning playwright, a perennial king of the non-fiction bestseller list), but also truly insightful and provocative thinking on some dangers that may have slipped past our intellectual defenses.
What are some of these new threats? I’ll let a handful of the essays speak for themselves:
“As traditional marriage declines, the ranks of single women are growing, and increasingly these women are substituting the security of a husband with the security of the state.” — Jessica Gavora
“Ending the freedom to fail is a mean-spirited attack on the freedom to succeed.” — Michael Goodwin
“Since when has authority not claimed, when imposing trammels and curbs on liberty, that it does so for a wider good and a greater happiness?” — Christopher Hitchens
“The first amendment ensures not that speech will be fair, but that it will be free. It cannot be both.” — David Mamet
“The new behaviorism isn’t interested in protecting people’s freedom to choose; on the contrary, its core principle is the idea that only by allowing an expert elite to limit choice can individuals learn to break their bad habits.” — Christine Rosen
Single women? Multiculturalism? Behaviorism? Haven’t we been taught that these are good things?! As you can see, this book is going to inspire some serious debate when it comes out in May.
