Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Grand Bargains' Solution to Health Care and Economic Crises Health and health care are powerfully affected by public policies regarding social services, agriculture, law, finance, education, transportation, Social Security, immigration, governance (i.e., taxation and regulation), and nation…al security. Health care reform and better public health cannot be accomplished in isolation from reforming the rest of the economy. This book proposes a detailed plan to tackle our highly complex and interconnected issues related to health care and economic policies. Among other things, the plan provides for universal health care, integration of social services with health care, enhancing our infrastructure, increasing education funding, launching an initiative to foster Third World development, assuring financial security for seniors and the disabled, enacting a balanced budget, paying down the national debt, eliminating the corporate income tax and limiting the personal income tax to only the top 10% of earners, and instituting consumption taxes on products and services that harm the public health, the economy, or the environment. Combining strengths of free-market capitalism and communitarian cooperatives, Americans can live better lives and have valid hope for the future. Politically, the policy options recommended span the gamut of liberal, conservative, progressive, libertarian, and mainstream. Summarizing health care and economic system problems comprises about 30% of the book. About 70% of the book deals with the grand bargains that will lead us forward.

Contact seller5-star seller1st Edition. FIRST EDITION ISSUES IN ORIGINAL WRAPS TWO PAPERS BY HÄNSCH & HALL FOR THEIR NOBEL PRIZE WINNING WORK ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF LASER-BASED PRECISION SPECTROSCOPY AND THEIR DEVELOPMENT OF THE FREQUENCY COMB TECHNIQUE. American physicist John Lewis "Jan" Hall and German physicist Theodor Wolfgang Hänsch shared one half o…f the 2005 Nobel Prize in Physics for these "contributions to the development of laser-based precision spectroscopy, including the optical frequency comb technique. Their laser-based precision spectroscopy meant that atoms could again be employed as references to stabilize the frequency of laser light. In other words, scientists could now "tune a laser wavelength to an optical transition within an atom" (Hessmo, "Laser-based precision spectroscopy and the optical frequency comb technique", Heidelberg, 15 October, 2005). Precision spectroscopy is the ability to measure a frequency accurately. Precision laser spectroscopy creates optical frequency standards substantially superior to the present Cesium time standard. The frequency comb technique allows scientists to transfer the stability of an optical reference to other frequencies where electronics can be used to handle signals. Put another way, the frequency comb functions as would a ruler. "When the frequency of a particular radiation is determined, it can be compared to the extremely acute comb spectral lines, until one is found that â??fits'" (Wikipedia). The work Hall and Hänsch put forth in these papers presents their "development of laser-based precision spectroscopy, that is, the determination of the colour of the light of atoms and molecules with extreme precision. [Their contributions] made it possible to measure frequencies with an accuracy of fifteen digits. Lasers with extremely sharp colours can now be constructed and with the frequency comb technique precise readings can be made of light of all colours. This technique makes it possible to carry out studies of, for example, the stability of the constants of nature over time and to develop extremely accurate clocks and improved GPS technology" (Nobel Prize Committee). The other half of the 2005 prize went to Roy J. Glauber "for his contribution to the quantum theory of optical coherence" (Nobel Prize Committee). CONDITION & DETAILS: New York: American Physical Society. Two entire issues, first editions in original wraps. 4to. Ex-libris with small library stickers on the front and back covers; barely visible library stamp at the edge of issue No. 15; issue 22 has a small stamp on the first page of the journal (not a paper relevant here). Mild scuffs and edge wear covers. Both are bright and very clean throughout. Very good +.
