Summary

This comprehensive guide from the editors of Popular Science covers everything a new inventor needs to know from starting out to running a start-up.   Contrary to popular opinion, you don’t have to be an ace electrician or a coding prodigy to develop your own game-changing invention. All you need is curiosity, a desire to fix a common problem, and the determination to see your ideas become reality. And it won’t hurt to have this book handy—a volume full of vital tips, skills, and strategies that will take you from zero to inventor.   Everyone knows about Bill Gates or Steve Jobs, but in TheTotal Inventor’s Manual, you’ll also learn from the examples of those intrepid inventors who gave us the first home pregnancy test, the Super Soaker, the Roomba, the digital camera, and many other products that have changed the world.   Here you will learn to turn your vision into a reality with a crash course in ideation, prototyping, and testing—including lessons in 3D-printing, coding, robotics, and more. You’ll discover funding strategies that range from running a Kickstarter campaign to making a venture capital pitch, plus tips on manufacturing, supply chains, marketing, and running—or selling—your new company!

    You Know it's a Verb, Right? begins a new discussion with bold, yet simple and timeless concepts about leadership. It demonstrates how leadership must become a verb and positively develop individuals across the leadership spectrum who believe there is more to leadership than meets the eye. Taking you through the tenets of leadership and how a consistent practice that begins with an above reproach moral compass paves the way for leadership growth and development, You Know it's a Verb, Right? affirms you can become better leaders, whether you are at the start of your leadership journey or already in a leadership position. Using everyday language, You Know it's a Verb, Right? is a roadmap with real-life examples that helps you bridge the gap between your technical skills and the leadership skills required to successfully guide individuals, teams, and organizations. You will embark on a practice that demonstrates that leadership does not happen because you sat in a semester class or because you are a pioneer in your field. It happens because you prepare for it.

    Harmonies of Political Economy

    "Harmonies of Political Economy" is a major work by the French economist Frederic Bastiat, who lived from 1801 to 1850. The book, which was first published in 1850, explores the principles of economic theory and argues that free markets are the most effective way to promote economic growth and prosperity. 
    Bastiat believed that government intervention in the economy, such as tariffs, subsidies, and regulations, were counterproductive and tended to distort markets and create inefficiencies. He argued that free trade, competition, and individual liberty were the key ingredients to a harmonious and prosperous society. 
    In "Harmonies of Political Economy," Bastiat also discussed the concept of economic harmony, which refers to the idea that individual self-interest and the pursuit of profit can lead to outcomes that benefit society as a whole. He argued that the market was a self-correcting mechanism that could adjust to changing conditions and ensure that resources were allocated efficiently. 
    Overall, Bastiat's work in "Harmonies of Political Economy" was influential in the development of classical liberal economic thought and remains relevant today in debates over the role of government in the economy.

    To succeed in the post-pandemic world, all of us need to understand the new healthcare landscape and change our strategies and behaviors accordingly. In Care After Covid, Dr. Shantanu Nundy lays out a comprehensive plan to transform healthcare along three dimensions: 
     
     
     
    ● Distributed: healthcare will happen where health happens. It will shift from where doctors are to where patients are—at home, in the community, and increasingly on their phones. 
     
     
     
    ● Digitally enabled: healthcare and the relationships that are central to care will be strengthened by data and technology. It will shift from being siloed to connected, from being episodic to continuous, from one-size-fits-all to more personalized. 
     
     
     
    ● Decentralized: healthcare decisions and resources will be in the hands of those closest to care. The power to determine who gets care and how they get it will shift away from governments and insurance companies to communities, employers, doctors, and patients. 
     
     
     
    Filled with firsthand insights and stories from the frontlines of healthcare, as well as innovative solutions, Care After Covid shows all stakeholders in the healthcare ecosystem exactly what needs to change and, more importantly, how to do it.

    In Japan it's called the "Ghosn Shock"—the stunning arrest of Carlos Ghosn, the jet-setting CEO who saved Nissan and made it part of a global automotive empire. Even more shocking was his daring escape from Japan, packed into a box and put on a private jet to Lebanon after months spent in a Japanese detention center, subsisting on rice gruel. 
     
     
     
    How did it come to this, and why? This is the sprawling story of what led to the Ghosn Shock and what was left in its wake. The book chronicles Ghosn's two decades building a colossal partnership between Nissan and Renault. To the world it looked like a new model for a global business, but the alliance's shiny image fronted an unsteady, tense operation. Culture clashes, infighting among executives and engineers, dueling corporate traditions, and government maneuvering constantly threatened the venture. 
     
     
     
    Expertly reported, Collision Course explores the complex suspicions around what and who was really responsible for Ghosn's ouster. It explains how economics, history, national interests, legal traditions, and hubris converged on arguably the most important foreign businessman ever to set foot in Japan.
