How living in space will affect future generations—and what the potential unintended consequences of space settlements are. We are on the cusp of a golden age of space travel in which, for the first time, it will be possible for large numbers of people to venture into space. Some intend to stay. But what happens—and will happen—to us in the extreme conditions of space? What should space tourists expect to happen to them during a journey to an orbiting space station, the Moon, or Mars? What would happen to children born on another planet? Would they evolve into a new species? In Becoming Martian, Scott Solomon explores the many ways in which humanity’s migration into space will change our bodies and our minds. This book focuses on the latest science, taking readers to the front lines of research. We hear from astronauts, including Scott Kelly who writes the foreword, and we join a team of scientists guiding a rover across the surface of Mars. We visit a high-security lab where engineers are simulating space radiation to measure its effects on the body. We travel to isolated islands where field biologists are gleaning insights into evolutionary processes applicable to people isolated on faraway planets. We meet synthetic biologists developing gene-editing tools to equip future humans to thrive in alien environments. We watch a rocket designed to carry humanity to Mars make its first successful launch. And then we ask, knowing what we know: Should we go?

How living in space will affect future generations and what the potential unintended consequences of space settlements are.

Our Future Beyond Earth

Becoming Martian

Suddenly, everything seems up for grabs about the medicines we take: Do they really work as advertised? Do some of them have dangerous, undisclosed side effects? Why are they so expensive, even unaffordable? A leading medical expert provides a clear-headed, dispassionate understanding of life-and-death questions that have suddenly become so contentious. Groundbreaking research has given us many remarkable new drugs to treat conditions that have plagued patients for generations. But at the same time America’s drug evaluation process, once the envy of the world, is being seriously undermined. Under pressure from the pharmaceutical industry and politicians, the Food and Drug Administration has lowered its approval standards to allow new medicines onto the market without the rigorous assessment that once made it the global gold standard for medication regulation. Instead of carefully reviewed scientific evidence, government officials now make alarming public statements about effectiveness and risks, unmoored from scientific evidence. All this while out-of-control drug prices—far higher in the US than anywhere else in the world—put badly needed treatments beyond the reach of many patients. Dr. Jerry Avorn, a physician and professor of medicine at Harvard, has been studying these issues for decades. In Rethinking Medications, he engagingly explains how we got here and provides concrete solutions to ensure that all our medicines are effective, safe, and affordable. The book takes on the most fundamental aspects of the medicines we take: <ul> <li>Does it work? Who says? How do we know?</li> <li>Is it safe? What’s the evidence? How can we be sure?</li> <li>Why is my prescription so expensive? Is it worth what it costs? Who determines that price? Why does the US pay twice as much as other countries for the same medicines?</li> <li>With new leadership at FDA, CDC, NIH, and the whole Department of Health and Human Services, who decides these life-and-death questions for the nation, and how well are they doing their jobs?</li> <li>…and finally: how do all these issues affect the choices that patients and doctors make every day?</li> </ul> Rethinking Medications draws on Dr. Avorn’s long experience as a clinician, outspoken patient advocate, and the founder of an internationally respected research group at Harvard. He illustrates this accessible and entertaining account with examples from cancer drugs to opioids, from treatments for rare diseases to psychedelics. Throughout, Dr. Avorn proposes practical advice for consumers, policymakers, and practitioners to address these problems. At a time when all our assumptions about scientific evidence, regulation, pricing, and the role of government are under assault as never before, this book points to actionable solutions within reach and a way out of the current confusion, beyond all the noise.

The incredible history and promise of inter-species organ transplantation, from an award-winning transplant surgeon. With more than 100,000 patients in the United States waiting for life-saving organ transplants, the shortage of organs will never be solved if someone must die for someone else to be saved. And yet a solution is well within reach: xenotransplantation, or the transplanting of organs between different species—the once unimaginable scientific achievement that Joshua Mezrich explores in Every Living Creature. The story begins with efforts using chimpanzees and baboons from the 1960s through the 1990s, rife with ethical and practical complications and disappointments. The successful cloning of Dolly the sheep revived xeno-optimism, followed by the discovery of CRISPR-Cas9, which finally opened the door to xenotransplantation in humans, using genetically modified pigs as organ donors. The protagonists of this story are as incredible as the science it details: a transgender visionary, the highest-paid female CEO in the world, who simply wants her daughter to live; the surgeon saved by a high-risk heart transplant, who swears by the promise of pigs’ organs; the brilliant and brash surgeon-scientist-entrepreneur, who is risking everything to make xenotransplantation a reality. Each plays a part in what is, in the end, the story of a miracle—not the answer to a prayer, as Every Living Creature makes clear, but a miracle we can breed.

*A FINANCIAL TIMES BOOK OF THE YEAR* For readers of Empire of Pain and Dopesick, an arresting deep dive into how Alzheimer's disease treatment has been set back by corrupt researchers, negligent regulators, and the profit motives of Big Pharma. Nearly seven million Americans live with Alzheimer's disease, a tragedy that is already projected to grow into a $1 trillion crisis by 2050. While families suffer and promises of pharmaceutical breakthroughs keep coming up short, investigative journalist Charles Piller's Doctored shows that we've quite likely been walking the wrong path to finding a cure all along - led astray by a cabal of self-interested researchers, government accomplices, and corporate greed. Piller begins with a whistleblower - Vanderbilt professor Matthew Schrag - whose work exposed a massive scandal. Schrag found that a University of Minnesota lab led by a precocious young scientist and a renowned director delivered apparently falsified data at the heart of the leading hypothesis about the disease. Piller's revelations of Schrag's findings stunned the field and the public. From there, based on years of investigative reporting, Doctored exposes a vast network of deceit and its players, all the way up to the FDA. Piller uncovers evidence that hundreds of important Alzheimer's research papers are based on false data. In the process, he reveals how even against a flood of money and influence, a determined cadre of scientific renegades have fought back to challenge the field's institutional powers in service to science and the tens of thousands of patients who have been drawn into trials to test dubious drugs. It is a shocking tale with huge ramifications not only for Alzheimer's disease, but for scientific research, funding, and oversight at large.

Leading for Social Impact

People with mental illnesses in the United States are 10 times more likely to be incarcerated than hospitalized. In fact, seventy percent of individuals in jail in the United States have a serious mental illness, a substance use disorder, or both. After confronting the failures of our criminal justice system first-hand, Miami-Dade County (Florida) Judge Steven Leifman realized that for the system to improve, a radical change was necessary. In 2000, he created Florida’s 11th Judicial Circuit Criminal Mental Health Project, later renamed to the Jail Diversion Project (JDP), which has since become the most impactful model for prison reform in the country and garnered international accolades. Complete Justice reveals Judge Leifman’s courageous and visionary efforts to successfully overhaul and restructure Miami-Dade’s mental health and criminal justice systems. The results were nothing short of miraculous. Arrests were cut in half, the jail audit was reduced by almost half, police shootings almost stopped, and the county was able to close one of its three main jails at a savings of millions of dollars. Best of all, his results are replicable and scalable. Leifman has created a state-of-the-art, transferable model, the “Miami Model,” that is starting to be applied around the country in communities large and small. This highly successful initiative, consisting of both pre-arrest and post-arrest diversion programs, brings together the resources and services of law enforcement, the justice system, and community stakeholders to divert individuals with mental illnesses who commit low-level offenses away from incarceration and into community-based care. Starting with a trip to a psychiatric wing of a Florida jail at age 17, through his early missteps as a young judge bumping up against convoluted the mental health legislature, the formation of the JDP and monumental report on Florida’s mental health system, and finally spotlighting courts across the country adopting his program, Leifman’s inspiring work offers kindness, insight, and real solutions to one of America’s most complex social problems.

Public finance is often considered a discipline where numbers, efficiency, and productivity talk. And while gender budgeting, a field of public financial management (PFM), has gained increasing attention in recent years, the personal stories of the women driving this work have remained largely invisible. This is the first book to share unprecedented insider narratives from the women shaping public finance and public policy.It brings together the stories and conversations of 22 professional women from around the globe who are all working in the fields of PFM and gender budgeting, a space largely dominated by men. These authentic first-person accounts provide rare insights into both the barriers and breakthroughs experienced by women in a field traditionally dominated by technical discourse and masculine perspectives. It demonstrates how women's presence at decision-making tables directly opens the discussions on inclusive, sustainable, and effective public finance outcomes. It provides:<ul> <li>Authentic insights into gender representation in PFM and how it can be advanced within the structures of public finance-from ministries of finance to donor agencies and civil society.</li> <li>Encouragement and strategic guidance in navigating leadership, reform fatigue, and institutional resistance, particularly women and underrepresented groups.</li> <li>A storytelling approach, helping readers to relate to this largely technical area.</li> <li>Concrete examples of successful reform and personal stories of resilience, valuable for professionals creating capacity-building programs, applying change management, or shaping institutional culture.</li> </ul>This important book is for public finance professionals, civil servants, economists, gender policy advisors, donor agency staff, civil society organizations, and graduate students in gender studies, public policy, governance, and development programs, providing both inspiration and practical pathways for creating more equitable financial systems worldwide.
