Design to Survive

9 Ways an IKEA Approach Can Fix Health Care and Save Lives

By: Pat Mastors

The U.S. spends the most in the world on health care and research, yet our outcomes are among the worst in industrialized nations. Hundreds of thousands die every year from medical harm. Imagine a world where health care took a page from the IKEA furniture company---where expenses were streamlined, quality was predictable, customers participated, and everyone shared in the cost savings. Through colorful analogies, stories from families and top doctors, and the author’s quest to find out what happened to her own father, Design to Survive serves up key strategies for patients, families and providers, with the conviction that we can do better.

Kaleidoscope

Patterns in a life

By: Pat Hayles

After a challenging childhood in England in the war and post war years, Pat Hayles went on to live an exciting, international life. She emigrated to Canada where she created new agencies helping depressed and suicidal individuals, and working with disadvantaged people in developing countries, before joining the Consumers’ Association of Canada as the Director of Association Affairs. After founding her own consulting company, she rose to become a respected and sought after consultant pioneering new programs for companies interested in rebuilding relationships with consumers, and communities at risk. This work took her to more than twenty different countries around the world. Her book describes the founding of the National Round Table on Environment and the Economy, her work as the first Chair of Canada’s Environmental Choice Program, and her work as a faculty member teaching Sustainable Development, in the UK, Canada and Europe. Her work for government and private sector companies introduced her to some of the most prominent and interesting business and civic leaders of the past fifty years. Today she looks back on a successful career from the Belizean resort she created with her husband and stepson. This book is her reflection on an extraordinary life through the kaleidoscopic patterns she has witnessed in her experiences. It is a story of perseverance, success, and integrity, and is equal parts inspiring and heartwarming.

Helping Doctoral Students Write

Pedagogies for supervision

By: Barbara Kamler,Pat Thomson

Helping Doctoral Students Write offers a proven approach to effective doctoral writing. By treating research as writing and writing as research, the authors offer pedagogical strategies for doctoral supervisors that will assist the production of well-argued and lively dissertations. It is clear that many doctoral candidates find research writing complicated and difficult, but the advice they receive often glosses over the complexities of writing and/or locates the problem in the writer. Kamler and Thomson provide a highly effective framework for scholarly work that is located in personal, institutional and cultural contexts. The pedagogical approach developed in the book is based on the notion of writing as a social practice. This approach allows supervisors to think of doctoral writers as novices who need to learn new ways with words as they enter the discursive practices of scholarly communities. This involves learning sophisticated writing practices with specific sets of conventions and textual characteristics. The authors offer supervisors practical advice on helping with commonly encountered writing tasks such as the proposal, the journal abstract, the literature review and constructing the dissertation argument. The first edition of this book has helped many academics and thousands of research students produce better written material. Now fully updated the second edition includes: Examples from a broader range of academic disciplines A new chapter on writing from the thesis for peer reviewed journals More advice on reading and note taking, performance and conferences, Further information on developing a personal academic writing style, and Advice on the use of social media (blogs, tweets and wikis) to create trans-disciplinary and trans-national networks and conversations. Their discussion of the complexities of forming a scholarly identity is illustrated throughout by stories and writings of actual doctoral students. In conclusion, they present a persuasive and proven argument that universities must move away from simply auditing supervision to supporting the development of scholarly research communities. Any supervisor keen to help their students develop as academics will find the ideas and practical solutions presented in this book fascinating and insightful reading.
