The idea of person-centred health systems is widely advocated in political and policy declarations to better address health system challenges. A person-centred approach is advocated on political, ethical and instrumental grounds and believed to benefit service users, health professionals and the health system more broadly. However, there is continuing debate about the strategies that are available and effective to promote and implement 'person-centred' approaches. This book brings together the world's leading experts in the field to present the evidence base and analyse current challenges and issues. It examines 'person-centredness' from the different roles people take in health systems, as individual service users, care managers, taxpayers or active citizens. The evidence presented will not only provide invaluable policy advice to practitioners and policymakers working on the design and implementation of person-centred health systems but will also be an excellent resource for academics and graduate students researching health systems in Europe. This title is available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.

EthereumThe Complete Guide to Understanding Ethereum Cryptocurrency has been all the rage lately and in the race to create to create the best crypto-coin, Ethereum seems poised to take the lead. Ethereum reached the $400 mark in 2017, and has since continued to quickly rise even further in its value, seeming to indicate that Ethereum will soon overtake its much talked about predecessor, “Bitcoin”. But it isn’t just the monetary value of Ethereum that is making waves. It is also the technology behind Ethereum. Ethereum not only uses a highly proficient block chain, but for the first time ever, it allows for “smart contracts”—open source agreements written in computer code that can be changed at will. Many have likened Ethereum as a successor to Bitcoin but as you become further involved with it you quickly realize that it is a whole other animal completely. Prior to jumping in and mining or investing your time and energy into the acquisition of ether (the individual units of Ethereum) you really need to do your homework. It is true that Ethereum has many features that would be familiar to a Bitcoin enthusiast such as a block chain, wallets, and private keys, but the similarity ends there. Ethereum has much more to offer for those who know where to look, and Michael Scott a trusted and dedicated custodian of cryptocurrency insight, knows how to point in in the right direction!

This book is the culmination of 15 years of research, teaching, and personal experience on the subject of self-made millionaires. These pages contain the key ideas and strategies I have discovered in reading hundreds of books and thousands of articles on the subject of wealth accumulation. The ideas and strategies are presented in a simple, tested, proven, easy-to-use format so that you can learn and apply them immediately.... Why are some people more successful than others? I especially wanted to know, How is it that some people start off with nothing and eventually become millionaires? This question set me off on a search for the answers, which has led to this book. I chose self-made millionaires as my focal point because these people had demonstrated special qualities and behaviors that were both observable and measurable. They had started with nothing and passed the magic million-dollar mark as the result of doing certain things in a certain way, over and over.... These 21 ''success secrets'' are the keys to great success in every area of life, whether or not you make a lot of money. The good news is that these principles are so powerful that you can apply them to accomplish almost anything you really want. Many of these methods and techniques will seem familiar to you. This is because they have been discovered and rediscovered for hundreds of years. I see myself more as a student of success a reader, a researcher, a synthesizer, and a teacher of great ideas than as an originator or creator of brand new concepts. I believe, as it says in Ecclesiastes, ''There is nothing new under the sun.'' Since you are reading this book, I know that one of your great goals in life is to become an extraordinary person, to realize more and more of your true potential. Each of these success secrets will help you to move ahead more rapidly toward the wonderful life that is possible for you. Enjoy the journey!

This book, like all books, comes to an end, but that is by no means the end of the story of Open Space. In fact it is safe to say that we have barely begun. The total simplicity of Open Space (sit in a circle, create a bulletin board, open a marketplace, and go to work) contrasts radically with the quality of results and speed of achievement. The conventional theory and practice of meeting and organization would suggest that what happens in Open Space should not occur. But it does, not once but thousands of times in all parts of the world. So the continuing story of Open Space is all about this wonderful anomaly. Why does it work? How does it work? And perhaps most intriguing - if ''it'' works in Open Space (whatever ''it'' is) why couldn't it work twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days of the year? My best guess is that the ''it'' is the primal power of self-organization, and if so the real significance of Open Space has little to do with better meetings, and everything to do with a deepening understanding of who we really are and how we might most effectively get on in this world. But all of that is an unfolding story and, as I would see it, a wonderful, ongoing natural experiment. And you are invited to participate.
