Don't get me wrong and don't hate me for what I'm about to write
By Alina Melinda
So I think I'm one of the very few people who can't really wrap her head around why people are nuts over this book. Don't get me wrong and don't hate me for what I'm about to write. I'm not saying that it's a bad book or anything. It was ok. The writing was great I just didn't liked the plot and couldn't connect with the characters.Maybe it's just not my cup of tea . Don't take my words for it just read it and maybe you'll enjoy it more than I did.

If you're not a very patient reader (like me) and you don't like reading 70% of the book just to discover that nothing exciting really happens, then more than probably this book is not for you. I was about to give up on it 4 times but I pushed myself because many people recommended it to me. I was thinking that if it has so many 5 stars ratings and good reviews ,then it must be something good. I waited for ....something 'wow' to happen ! Maybe I'm just blind and I'm missing the point of the book.
Don't even get me started on the characters and on Alexandria's annoying switch between her three personas. I just...umm...sorry.Not for me.

Maybe My Expectations Were Too High.....
By S.A.S.
I expected to love this book. I loved the first 3 books in the "Consequences" series. I saw all the 4 and 5 star reviews for this new release, so I promptly purchased this first installment in a 5 book series. I get that this first book is a set up for the future books, but I was bored to tears. For me this book just dragged. I kept waiting for something of interest to happen when all I got was inner monologue and endless descriptions of this and that....yet, still, nothing of interest happened. Maybe for others this was an except-able build up to the story, but it just failed to keep my interest. Alex/Charli(h) is a 23 year old graduate of Stanford. She has been excepted to Columbia Law School. That makes me assume she is one pretty clever/smart young lady. I was mistaken. Here are my issues....Possible Spoilers Ahead!!!! Read At Your Own Risk!!!!!

Story/Plot....dragged, boring, predictable, and full of cliches. I saw the ending coming a mile away.
Characters......predictable and cliched....over-the top evil Stepdad, weak Mother who does nothing to defend daughter from evil Stepdad, same BFF as any other novel with all the same conversations, token gorgeous gay male friend (cousin). Maybe the next installments will give more light and depth to these characters, but I did not feel it in this installment. Did I mention that every character is beautiful or extremely attractive? Well...surprise, surprise....they were/are.
Contrived, and quite unbelievable, plot twist(s) which forces the female protagonist to be at the mercy of the H in every way. Thank god he's gorgeous, rich, and a god in the sack.

Here's my main issue. The main character Alex/Charli(h) is supposed to be headed to Columbia Law School. Alex comes from a very wealthy Georgian family. She has a trust fund. She has used that trust fund to pay for her education. Evil stepdad informs her that she will not go to school at Columbia. No, she will stay in Georgia and marry because she must carry on the bloodline. What is this, the 1950's? Furthermore, her trust fund has been highjacked, or confiscated, so therefore she no longer has any funds. She is at the mercy of her stepdad and must do as she is told. Well, I had an issue with that. Why didn't the clever Stanford grad student and soon to be Columbia Law student challenge the confiscation of a trust fund she has had for years. There were millions in that fund. Why take her stepdad's word for why the trust fund was taken away from her? She hates and mistrusts that man. No, she just simply excepts the theft of her trust fund. Hmm...Maybe she should have hired a....um...what do you call them? Oh! Yeah! A lawyer! Yeah. Maybe this clever girl, who wants to be a lawyer, should have gotten herself one in order to challenge her evil stepdad. Ugh!

My other issue? I will try not to give too much away here. I will just say that it is illegal for any contract to be legally binding if said contract states that one person is owned by another. A smart girl on her way to graduate school at Columbia Law should, and would, know this. Another ugh!

This is a well written book. I just did not find it to be very original. So far, this story/plot has been done to death numerous times. Maybe as the story progresses I will feel more for both the characters and the plot line. Again, so far, I was just aggravated and bored. I cannot recommend or not recommend. This is the first book in a five book series. This is why I rated this book a 3 star rather than a 2 star. I have no idea where this series will go and I realize this book is a kind of intro to the future books and plot. I can say that this first installment did not pull me in. I do not feel compelled to read the next installment. Based on all the other 4 and 5 star reviews, I am the odd person out, so go ahead and give this first installment a shot. Just don't say I didn't warn ya.

So what does Infidelity mean? it says if you cheat on yourself is it cheating? Wow, so not what I had in mind! Finer than Wine!!
By Susie
Welp we have all be Aleathed Again! Its a great start to an exciting series! Now I'm usually one that does not like to read a book that is part of a series until I have all the books and can dive in and read them all together. (yep I do buy books and let them just set right on my Kindle shelf waiting for the entire series) I do get the series thing though, I know a lot of people do not really like it they just want the books to be written released and done but that's not the way it is done today folks some of these books would be sooo long if they did it in one setting and I also believe it allows the writer time to reflect with the storyline and the characters and make changes as they continue with the series and we get a much better series of books! I truly believe in the standalone books just as I do the series they are all good and have reasons to be what they are! And being that this is queen bee Aleatha Romig of the "Consequence Series" that I truly Adored and LOVED so much I dove right in and read it soon after I one clicked it after learning it was released a day early, I figured that was a sign to get it and read it and I am so glad I did! Now do I wish I had books 2,3,4 and 5 absolutely but hey this is real life and these are fictional characters and I know she will not let us down with what she decides to give us with this Infidelity Series!

So you have read the Burb written and its a good one Im try not to spoil much but just give what and why i loved the book!

I love Alex/Charli, Alexandria I feel sorry for and I hope she can come out of her shell and be just that "Alexandria or Alex for short" but for now with all these secrets she has having Charli in her corner I think is a very good thing! Oh Nox I surely do love him he is hot and sweet and attentive and was totally taken by Charli but by the end of this book the rules have been changed and I know sweet endearing Nox is about to be super Dominate Nox and I think I will love that Nox just as well and maybe even better! I enjoyed the back and forth in time (its just a few months but also has flashbacks to her younger days even with her deceased father) but it gave this book a different depth to it and helped me as a reader to quickly get to know all the characters in a smooth flowing way! Alexandria/Alex is from an uber rich family and was allowed to go away for college to see the world leaving behind her family and some terrible friends and an old boyfriend that truly was never a boyfriend but a boy that wasnt really a good friend either as it seems and he has just put himself right in the midst of her family under her nose he is in deep and we dont know why...she left so she didn't have to be told how to live, dress, eat, wear her hair, go to bed, sit straight you get the drift huh? So off to College she went and never looked back, she makes a wonderful best friend with Chelsea and after the four years of college they decide take a week off, a last little trip together as Alex is moving to New York and Chelsea is staying in California to find a job she didn't come from money but she has been a little spoiled by Alex but seems to be a true and dear friend and gets Alex to come out from under the strangling influence of her family which is really only her mother and a stepfather whom she hates and at the end of the book I don't care for either of them her mom is drinking herself into submission to a very very bad man that has taken control of her life and money and has also been in charge of Alexandria in what ways Im not sure. We do not know the complete extent to what all this man has done to her but what little we do know it is not good! But when these two get on this vacation Chelsea is telling Alex she has worked as hard as she could and it's her time to unwind and let go she deserves it before she has to jump into law school, she is going to Columbia she wants her to enjoy life pretend she is someone else be free be like her Chelsea the wild child of the two of them and Alex decides it's a good idea and she is going to become Charli (short for Charles, yes her dads name is one in a long list of of her legal names) for the week and out by the pool she meets Nox a very good looking man that she has a connection with right away, next thing ya know it's a dinner and rules are set and hard limits are asked of course Charli doesn't even know exactly what this means but they decide no questions about each other they are just Charli and Nox and they are only going to have this one week together and walk away and boy do they have a HOT week together but is it just a week together heck no both of them have emotions riding high but they choose not to speak them and to walk away! Aleatha this is some of your hottest sexiest writing scenes yet that car and bathroom scene is HOT as is the sexy bathtub scene! It's a wonderful blissful week and Charli doesn't want it to end but it does and they go off to live their lives but Nox tells her on the last day that he did break one rule but she doesn't know what that rule is until on the plane going back to California and Chelsea figures it out and we do not realize how great it is that he breaks this rule until the very last page of the book. Alex has been summoned home and has all of the sudden been given ultimatums by her family, she runs and then makes a decision that's going to change her entire life I never saw it coming not at all, it truly surprised the crapola out of me but it's going to be really GREAT especially when Nox finds out what she has done after 6 weeks of not even a word from her and he cannot stop thinking of her he wants her and yet he cannot have her then he learns a BIG secret and he is mad as fire and now the rules have changed just how they have changed well we have to wait until January 19, 2016 to find out!

If you haven't read any of Aleatha Romig's other books you've got to try them The Consequence Series is her very first to be published but you would never know that, it's a dark read but a beautiful cannot put it down till you are done series and then she has Tales from the Dark Side "Insidious" it's a wonderful book, a standalone and it will keep your head spinning from the tale that is weaved and told! I however cannot wait to read the next Book "Cunning" in this Infidelity Series! Get to it Aleatha we are desperately waiting for more Charli or will it be Alex and as for Nox as in Lennox Demetri, its Mr Demetri! :)

This book is a critical reappraisal of contemporary theories of urban planning and design and of the role of the architect-planner in an urban context. The authors, rejecting the grand utopian visions of "total planning" and "total design," propose instead a "collage city" which can accommodate a whole range of utopias in miniature.

Review

Coming upon this book in rather a skeptical state of mind, I must say I found it intriguing, enlightening, brilliant, witty, and exasperating as it pursued its thesis with a species of grammatical acrobatics that I can only call arresting. This is a book about the ideologies of modern architecture, their philosophical origins, their manifestations, and the ways in which they are flawed. It is a book about architects who had and have conceptions about the ideal city, and it tries to reorient those conceptions from the utopia of a single vision to a more multivalent view of city form.

Difficult, opaque, frustrating, but important
By J. V. Lewis
I am a second-generation Rowe disciple, I guess. I studied with a Rowe acolyte in graduate school and worked with co-author Fred Koetter in an urban design studio. Without the efforts these teachers have made to bring Rowe's ideas to urban design students, they may well have been neglected, because Collage City is a mess. It is badly marred by dense thickets of poorly-edited, idiosyncratic prose. It was one of the more frustrating books I had to read in school, but I'm glad it was required, because the close readings uncovered real gems of theory. Rowe reintroduced the complexities and possibilities of art into urban design right at the peak of Modernism's influence. Architecture was still in the thrall of La Ville Radieuse and socialist-utopian projects that aimed to simplify and disinfect cities. Jane Jacobs saw the social perils of these projects, Colin Rowe saw the architectural perils. His critique of the Modern project was among the most powerful, and among the least cogent. Still, though it requires some serious digging in prose-mud, the gems are there and worth the search. I recommend this book for graduate-level urban theorists or serious urban design students.

But there are more accessible urban design primers: Aldo Rossi, et al, The Architecture of the City, for example, covers much of the same ground Rowe so spottily tilled [except where Eisenman is involved in the book: he is a worse prose-stylist than Rowe]. For non-specialists I also recommend Witold Rybczynski's City Life as a thoughtful and LUCID introduction to American urbanism, along with a critique of the last few decades of urban "development".

Pulitzer Prize winner Sheri Fink’s landmark investigation of patient deaths at a New Orleans hospital ravaged by Hurricane Katrina – and her suspenseful portrayal of the quest for truth and justice.

In the tradition of the best investigative journalism, physician and reporter Sheri Fink reconstructs 5 days at Memorial Medical Center and draws the reader into the lives of those who struggled mightily to survive and to maintain life amid chaos.

After Katrina struck and the floodwaters rose, the power failed, and the heat climbed, exhausted caregivers chose to designate certain patients last for rescue. Months later, several health professionals faced criminal allegations that they deliberately injected numerous patients with drugs to hasten their deaths.

Five Days at Memorial, the culmination of six years of reporting, unspools the mystery of what happened in those days, bringing the reader into a hospital fighting for its life and into a conversation about the most terrifying form of health care rationing.

In a voice at once involving and fair, masterful and intimate, Fink exposes the hidden dilemmas of end-of-life care and reveals just how ill-prepared we are in America for the impact of large-scale disasters—and how we can do better. A remarkable book, engrossing from start to finish, Five Days at Memorial radically transforms your understanding of human nature in crisis.

*Starred Review* As the floodwaters rose after Hurricane Katrina, patients, staff, and families who sheltered in New Orleans’ Memorial Hospital faced a crisis far worse than the storm itself. Without power, an evacuation plan, or strong leadership, caregiving became chaotic, and exhausted doctors and nurses found it difficult to make even the simplest decisions. And, when it came to making the hardest decisions, some of them seem to have failed. A number of the patients deemed least likely to survive were injected with lethal combinations of drugs—even as the evacuation finally began in earnest. Fink, a Pulitzer Prize winner for her reporting on Memorial in the New York Times Magazine, offers a stunning re-creation of the storm, its aftermath, and the investigation that followed (one doctor and two nurses were charged with second-degree murder but acquitted by a grand jury). She evenhandedly compels readers to consider larger questions, not just of ethics but race, resources, history, and what constitutes the greater good, while humanizing the countless smaller tragedies that make up the whole. And, crucially, she provides context, relating how other hospitals fared in similar situations. Both a breathtaking read and an essential book for understanding how people behave in times of crisis. --Keir Graff

From Bookforum
Five Days at Memorial is Sheri Fink’s elaborately researched chronicle of life, death, and the choices in between at a New Orleans hospital immediately following Hurricane Katrina. What’s important, it slowly emerges, is that despite Fink’s painstaking re-creation based on five hundred interviews and mountains of documents—we weren’t there. We cannot know. Fink, under the guise of third-person journalistic objectivity, drives us towards a kind of uncertainty so great that it’s revelatory. There are conclusions to be drawn from Fink’s collection of dilemmas. She seems to indicate that she believes “a crime had occurred.” The scope of that crime—not just a legal trespass but a moral and ethical one as well—is the true subject of this book. This isn’t just a policy brief ornamented with characters. It is, like all great journalism, a document unto itself, an artifact of what we thought about “life and death” issues in the early twenty-first century. —Jeff Sharlet

Review

New York Times Bestseller

“What we have here is masterly reporting and the glow of fine writing.” – Sherwin B. Nuland, New York Times Book Review

“I’ve a tower of books by the bed, on quite a range of subjects. I’m reading Sheri Fink’s Five Days at Memorial, which is a brilliantly researched dissection of what went on at Memorial hospital in New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina. It reads like a Saramago novel.” - Colum McCann, By the Book, New York Times Book Review 

“Dr. Fink more than delivers. She writes with a seasoned sense of how doctors and nurses improvise in emergencies, and about the ethical realms in which they work. The first half of this book, which is well paced, covers the five days of the title. Then the viewfinder shifts to an entwined legal and political story in which state authorities pursue a homicide investigation. That so many people, starkly divided over the question of whether crimes had been committed, come off as decent and appealing makes this book an absorbing read. Dr. Fink brings a shimmering intelligence to its many narrative cul-de-sacs, which consider medical, legal and ethical issues…. By reporting the depth of those gruesome hours in Memorial before the helicopters came, and giving weight to medical ethics as grounded in the law, Sheri Fink has written an unforgettable story. Five Days at Memorial is social reporting of the first rank.”– Jason Berry, New York Times

“A stunning feat of journalism.”– New York Review of Books

“The journalist and doctor Sheri Fink published a meticulous investigation of these deaths in the New York Times Magazine and on the Web site of ProPublica, in 2009. Her work won a Pulitzer Prize. And now comes the book. In Five Days at Memorial, the contours of the story remain the same, yet Fink imbues them with far more narrative richness, making the doctors seem both more sympathetic and more culpable. Fink also expands on the ethical conundrums, which have festered over time and seem to gain fresh urgency.”—TheNewYorker.com

“A triumph of journalism...Fink re-creates this world with mastery and sensitivity, revealing the full humanity of each character. Unlike post-storm commentary that jumped to black and white conclusions, painting the doctors as heroes or villains, Fink’s narrative wades through the muck and finds only real people making tough choices under circumstances the rest of us, if we’re lucky, will never experience.” – Houston Chronicle

“Every page gives evidence of meticulous research, thousands of hours spent interviewing, prowling the halls at Memorial, reviewing legal documents and transcripts...[Fink] offers no easy answers, no rush to judgment. But she does deliver an amazing tale, as inexorable as a Greek tragedy and as gripping as a whodunit.”– Dallas Morning News

“Fink has done a masterful reporting job, and Five Days at Memorial is often engrossing, particularly those pages that take readers inside the hospital...Fink’s book is essential reading for anyone who cares about New Orleans, the breakdown of order in disaster zones, and medical dilemmas under crisis circumstances.” - Boston Globe

“Fink, a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist who trained as a physician, writes powerfully of the investigation into the Memorial deaths and, in her epilogue, of subsequent disasters: the earthquake in Haiti, Hurricane Sandy in the Northeast, an influenza pandemic in India.” – Radhika Jones, TIME

“Powerful…Fink, a trained physician turned journalist, is able to re-create in minute detail the sights, smells and sounds of Memorial in the days following the storm. It’s safe to say that her medical background gave her a unique perspective, which, coupled with her fine writing, offers the reader an evocative narrative of how the hospital staff and patients struggled to cope with the lack of electricity, climbing temperatures, and a sense that they might not make it out alive.” — USAToday.com

“This isn’t just a policy brief ornamented with characters. It is, like all great journalism, a document unto itself, an artifact of what we thought about ‘life and death’ issues in the early twenty-first century… Magnificent.” – Bookforum

“An important book… Fink, an M.D. and Pulitzer-winning journalist, certainly knows how to craft a nonfiction page-turner.” – Laura Miller, Salon

"It’s a marvel of journalistic effort that brings an objective and sympathetic eye to the suffering and tough decisions at Memorial Medical Center.” – Bloomberg

“[Fink] has shaped her research into an elegant narrative, Five Days at Memorial, with all the page-turning pull of a novel, no easy feat given the complexity of the story… riveting.” – Entertainment Weekly

“Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Sheri Fink spells out the story of Memorial – and its consequences – in a book that is as excellent as it is alarming.” – Christian Science Monitor

“This year's most important book is also one of its most enthralling.”– East Bay Express

“Fink’s descriptions of the flooded hospital, her extensive interviews with those who were there, profiles of investigators and study of the history and ethics of triage and euthanasia come very close to a full airing of how a disaster can upset society’s usual ethical codes, and how that played out at New Orleans’ Memorial Medical Center....Fink has written a compelling and revealing account.”– Seattle Times

“Five Days At Memorial unfolds in two parts—an impeccably researched reconstruction of the events inside the hospital during the disaster, and a gripping account of the investigation and trial that followed. Pulitzer-Prize-winning Sheri Fink, who is also a physician and a former relief worker in combat zones, lays out every shred of evidence, but leaves the final judgment to the reader. Five Days at Memorial treats the chain of events at the hospital as a microcosm that raises vital and increasingly relevant questions about end-of-life care, and the ethics of euthanasia in extraordinary circumstances.”– Macleans

“Fink's reporting is stellar…[the] book is first-rate: riveting reading, morally probing, scrupulously fair. Anyone interested in Hurricane Katrina, human behavior in times of crisis, or medical ethics should read it.” – Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

“Five Days at Memorial should be required reading for any American interested in whether their hospital is ready for its disaster, and especially required reading for those who lead those hospitals — board members, administrators, leading physicians and nurses, etc. Plans need to assume help is not coming in five days, and how to decide which patients will not continue getting care if resources to care for them run out, etc.” – Bangor Daily News

“Meticulously researched… Throughout this horrifying, fascinating book, Fink, a physician, maintains the highest journalistic standards. Her reporting is detailed, nuanced and far-reaching, yet it is never biased--a stunning accomplishment in a story with this kind of moral complexity. [Fink] gives voice to all sides–the doctors, nurses, families, and patients themselves–and leaves the conclusions and judgments, none of which can or ever will be easily reached, to the reader. This is a book not to be missed. It is, quite simply, required reading.” — Shelf Awareness (starred)

“[Fink] offers a stunning re-creation of the storm, its aftermath, and the investigation that followed…She evenhandedly compels readers to consider larger questions, not just of ethics but race, resources, history, and what constitutes the greater good, while humanizing the countless smaller tragedies that make up the whole. And, crucially, she provides context, relating how other hospitals fared in similar situations. Both a breathtaking read and an essential book for understanding how people behave in times of crisis.” – Booklist (starred)

“In this astonishing blend of Pulitzer Prize–winning journalism (Fink, who also has an M.D. and Ph.D., won the award for the investigative reporting on which this book is based) and breathtaking narration, she chronicles the chaotic evacuation of the hospital and the agonizing ethical, physical, and emotional quandaries facing Memorial nurses and doctors, including a nightmarish triage process that led to the controversial decision to inject critically ill patients with fatal doses of morphine in order to refocus attention on those with a chance of surviving.”- Publishers Weekly (starred)

“Pulitzer Prize–winning medical journalist/investigator Fink (War Hospital, 2003) submits a sophisticated, detailed recounting of what happened at Memorial Medical Center in New Orleans during and after Hurricane Katrina. Fink draws those few days in the hospital’s life with a fine, lively pen, providing stunningly framed vignettes of activities in the hospital and sharp pocket profiles of many of the characters. She gives measured consideration to such explosive issues as class and race discrimination in medicine, end-of-life care, medical rationing and euthanasia, and she presents the injection of some patients with a cocktail of drugs to reduce their breathing in such a manner that readers will be able to fully fashion their own opinions. The book is an artful blend of drama and philosophy [and] with apparent effortlessness, Fink tells the Memorial story with cogency and atmosphere.” - Kirkus Reviews (starred)

“Fink’s six years of research and more than 500 interviews yield a rich narrative full of complex characters, wrenching ethical dilemmas, and mounting suspense. General readers and medical professionals alike will finish the book haunted by the question,'What would I have done?'” - Library Journal (starred)

“[Fink] raises important ethical questions in this fast-paced reconstruction of heart-wrenching events.” –Ms. Magazine

“In a high speed world that reduces reality to black and white, Sheri Fink slows down to examine every achingly tough decision made by medical responders to Hurricane Katrina. The riveting result is nuanced and leaves you asking, 'Well, what would I have done?' Wow.” - Laurie Garrett, Pulitzer Prize-winning writer and author of I Heard the Sirens Scream

“Sheri Fink is one of the best medical journalists working in the United States today and Five Days at Memorial stands as evidence of her ability to tell a can't-put-down story, and also her ability to delve into the troubled and sometimes heart-breaking state of medical care in this country today. Read it because it's a compelling look at a hurricane-driven medical catastrophe - and read it because it matters.” -Deborah Blum, author of The Poisoner's Handbook

“Sheri Fink has once again revealed the necessity of honorable journalism: to show us, precisely, why intelligence and information are of critical use. She respects the reader by her labor—gathering the details, earning our engagement as she unfolds the complexity of this story, fact by painstaking fact. Fink invites us into a fuller understanding of five days at Memorial Hospital, the deeper dynamics of which are much in play in America, today. The stakes couldn’t be higher.” –Adrian LeBlanc, author of Random Family

Five Days You Won't Forget
By Ferdy
The first half of this book reads like an apocalyptic thriller while the second half is like a legal drama and in fact was dramatized on the television show, Boston Legal.
The tragedy that occurred at Memorial Hospital in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina is unflinchingly detailed by the author. The horrors that the staff and patients had to face will haunt you. The actions that were taken to save lives was heroic. There were also decisions made, however, that led to at least 7 deaths. Were these unavoidable casualties of the disaster or were these people murdered to effect a long overdue rescue of the remaining patients and staff?
The questions surrounding the deaths led to an investigation of one doctor and a couple of nurses. This legal investigation is what comprises the second half of the book.
The author, a Pulitzer Prize winning journalist, gives a fair and complete assessment of the five day ordeal in the storm ravaged hospital. There is also background information for many of the staff and some patients who were stranded in the flood. There were points that actually had me near tears as I read of their struggles.
The investigation after the incident and the legal battles which ensued are equally as compelling. The political machine that took over so much of the Katrina recovery is a big part of the story. The reader is left to come to his own conclusion based on the information given. Through the stellar reporting of this author, it is easy to empathize with both sides in some respects. Was euthanasia necessary? I'm not going to go into my own personal beliefs but I will say that you will look at the whole situation differently after reading this book.
You will also be forced to take a look at the choices available to us as the end of life approaches.
Five Days at Memorial is a compelling book that documents a particularly horrible natural disaster and the mess that our government and some corporations made of the rescue process. You can't read this and not be changed. It isn't a story that has a happy ending but it's the kind of thing that needs a light shown on it so that, hopefully, we learn a valuable lesson from the mistakes that were made.

For those prepared to grapple with major ethical issues
By Trudie Barreras
This is not the type of book that anyone should pick up if they are not prepared to deal with some extremely grim realities. Although certainly all of us have heard, and some of us have experienced personally, the horrors resulting from "natural disasters", Sheri Fink's exhaustively detailed description of events at Memorial Hospital in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina is uniquely powerful.

This is a book that SHOULD make one angry as well as profoundly and deeply distressed. It is also a fascinating investigation of the evolution of human perspective as "technical medicine" has become ever more complex and infrastructure-dependent. It includes an extraordinarily focused discussion of the historical issues - the fact that this hospital was flooded previously, but the necessary upgrades to provide better protection for the backup generators as recommended was never accomplished, being the most cogent.

For anyone who is not aware of the background story: As well as having a complement of "regular" patients, some in Intensive Care after such things as open heart and cancer surgery, the hospital had an organization called LifeCare that leased space on the 7th floor of the main hospital complex. Their patients were mostly elderly, and were in long-term care for extremely debilitating conditions that required extensive life support and monitoring, including dialysis, tube feeding, ongoing oxygen therapy, and so on. When the hurricane first approached, on Saturday, August 27, 2005, it seemed wise to move LifeCare patients in from a less secure, smaller facility in St. Bernard Parish, to the much larger location at Memorial. In addition many others, including family members of hospital staff and patients, along with their pets, and some other community members, sought refuge at the hospital, which was deemed to be a safe location. Therefore when the hurricane actually struck on Sunday, August 28th, there were many more people in residence than the normal load.

There was considerable damage from the storm itself, but everything seemed to be on target for recovery until the flooding of Monday, as of course was the story for the entirety of New Orleans. Sadly, at this point, the failure to upgrade the generators became a very serious issue, and for the following four days, conditions went from difficult to impossible to horrific. It became obvious as power failed and violence and looting became ever more prevalent in the surrounding neighborhoods that rescue and evacuation was not going to be practical, especially for the most severely debilitated patients. Although the hospital DID have a helipad, which turned out to be marginally accessible, for some reason it never seemed possible to launch a major evacuation by air. Eventually, on the fourth day (Thursday), when rescue efforts seemed completely stalled and many of the "critical" patients were rapidly deteriorating due to the extreme heat, lack of support systems for their therapies, and so on, the decision was made that anyone who had a DNR order in place and was not easily transportable would be given an overdose of morphine. The second half of the book deals with the legal repercussions faced by the medical professionals who made these fatal decisions.

Obviously, in past eras when the "promise" of high tech medicine was not so deeply ingrained in the minds of both the medical community and the general public, these issues would not have arisen. People who were terminally ill would either not even BE in a hospital setting, or if they were, it would be clear that removing them would be inevitable, whether they died in the process or not. One of the poignant scenes in the narrative is the story of the euthanizing of some of the pets who had been brought to the hospital for shelter "because there was no room for them in the rescue vehicles". At that point, it struck me as symbolic that perfectly healthy animals, considered "family" by many of their humans, were summarily executed for lack of "space". Meanwhile, there was all the agonizing about the failure to find room in those same vehicles for admittedly terminal humans with their wheelchairs and other "paraphernalia", and the subsequent choice of the medical professionals to ease (while perhaps speeding up) the passing of those humans.

I would recommend Fink's book only to those who are prepared to be courageous in thinking about these torturous life-and-death issues, and who really want to grapple with some of the major ethical concerns of our era.

As good as The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks
By Diane
Fink takes on a story with moral and ethical overtones- what killed 45 patients at Memorial Hospital in New Orleans in the days following Hurricane Katrina, in her incredibly fascinating Five Days at Memorial. Fink interviewed dozens of people who were there- doctors, nurses, aides, family members, patients, hospital administrators, rescuers, police investigators, coroners and more to tell her gripping story.

Fink drops the reader right into the hospital during the hurricane and in the horrific aftermath of the storm, when the levees failed and the hospital was completely surrounded by floodwaters. The reader feels the rising panic as generators fail, toilets stop working, medicines run low, cell phones die and communication is lost with the outside world.

Close to 200 people were evacuated from the hospital by helicopter and boats, but 45 patients died, most of them either terminally or gravely ill, the most of any hospital in the city. And most of them died of an overdose of morphine and Versed, allegedly by the hands of Dr. Anna Poe, a surgeon at the hospital. She and two nurses were arrested for killing those patients after a lengthy investigation.

Fink methodically lays out what went on at the hospital during those days. The corporate owner of the hospital, TenetCare, had an emergency plan that lacked some key elements. After 9/11, hospitals had to beef up emergency plans.
"The doctors at Memorial had drilled for disasters, but for scenarios like a Sarin gas attack, modeled that April, where multiple patients arrived at the hospital at once. Not in all his years of practice had Thiele drilled for the loss of backup power, running water, and transportation."
They had no contract with helicopter companies to evacuate the hospital (as other hospitals did) during a flood in a city where hurricanes and floods can be devastating. The person left in charge in the home office of Houston had no disaster experience or training, and the lack of communication with the hospital during the crisis was unconscionable.

The staff at Memorial felt they had been abandoned by their owners, as well as by their government. There seemed to be no one in charge at a local, state or federal level who could give them information as to when and how they would evacuate. All they heard were rumors of rampant looting, and the gunfire they could hear in the neighborhood made them fear they would be overrun by criminals looking for drugs.

When the evacuations begin, with boats commandeered by an older couple looking for a family member, and helicopters fly in, the triage that took place was the opposite of most; instead of the sickest going first, the healthiest patients were evacuated first. That decision had repercussions that had to be answered for later.

The first half of the book will have you on the edge of your seat, and the people who stayed behind to help the patients were heroic in their efforts. Fink sketches them with deserved empathy and compassion. As you read, you may ask yourself, "could I have done that?"

The second half of the book deals with the efforts by investigators and the state attorney general, who was looking to make a name for himself, to bring murder charges against the three women. Most of the general public did not feel this was warranted, and support for the women was strong.

But there were people, including doctors from Memorial, who were appalled at what happened and wanted to see justice for the people who died. They felt that these women violated their oath to do no harm and took matters into their own hands.

The one overriding theme of Five Days at Memorial is that governments and healthcare facilities must have effective disaster planning. There were so many failures on the part of government and corporations that allowed this to happen when it did not have to happen.

You may think you know how you feel about this situation, but Fink skillfully shows you all sides, and you will most likely come away from this book with more questions than answers as I did. This is a must-read book.

Longitudinal Analysis of Labor Market Data presents a set of papers by leading scholars on methods for analysing the longitudinal data that is available on numerous topics of interest to social scientists. Because many sources of longitudinal data record labour market phenomena such as unemployment, labour supply, earnings mobility, job turnover and participation in training programmes, all of the papers collected in this volume focus on models of the labour market. The main methodological points, however, are more general and apply to such diverse areas as demography, life science analysis and training evaluation, to name only a few, potential avenues of application. The book contains important methodological contributions to the emerging field of longitudinal analysis and is of interest to a wide range of social scientists.

Excellent resource for specific labor market analysis topics
By Robert Yerex
I am a labor economist working with huge amounts of data building complex time series analysis models. One of the more vexing problems to solve is dealing with exogenous impacts on labor market trends. With the change of administration (Obama 2009) there will be significant monetary policy interventions that will have a large impact on the labor market. The Heckman & Robb chapters on evaluating the impact of interventions is an excellent treatment complete enough from me to build from. For that section alone I would give the book a 5.

Review
"You ought to take a look at these B Corporations... we've got to get back to a society that doesn't give one class of stakeholders an inordinate advantage over others." —President Bill Clinton   "The B Corp Handbook shows how using business as a force for good, not just pursuing short-term profits, can be better for consumers, employees, local communities, the environment, AND your company's long-term bottom line." —Tony Hsieh, New York Times bestselling author of Delivering Happiness and CEO of Zappos.com, Inc. 

"B Corporations recast the goals of the traditional business enterprise. They are becoming more prevalent as a new breed of businessperson seeks purpose with the fervor that traditional economic theory says entrepreneurs seek profit." —Daniel Pink, New York Times bestselling author of To Sell Is Human and Drive   "I think B Corporations will make more profits than ​other types of companies.​​" —Robert Shiller, winner of the 2013 Nobel Prize in Economics and Professor at Yale University

The B Corp Handbook proves that any company can be pro-community, pro-business, and pro-environment--at the same time. Ryan shows that there does not have to be any tradeoffs between profitability and creating positive social change." —Suzanne DiBianca, President of the Salesforce.com Foundation   "I hope that five years from now, ten years from now, we'll look back and say B Corporations were the start of the revolution. The existing paradigm isn't working anymore--this is the future." —Yvon Chouinard, Founder of Patagonia

"In contrast to the plethora of books that only discuss the problems facing society, The B Corp Handbook offers a concrete, positive, market-based, and scalable systemic solution to addressing our greatest social and environmental challenges." —Marshall Goldsmith, New York Times bestselling author of What Got You Here Won't Get You There   "B Corporations are a way to transcend the contradictions between the ineffective parts of the social sector and myopic capitalism." —David Brooks, Op-Ed columnist for The New York Times

"Research shows that Certified B Corps not only do good for the world, but grow faster and are more profitable than regular companies. So what's their secret sauce? The B Corp Handbook describes what B Corps do differently and how to bring those lessons inside your own company. It shares experiences from real companies and walks you through the ways your company can improve its impact over time. It is a must-read for every for-profit enterprise around the world aiming to create social impact." —Cathy Clark, Director and Professor, CASE i3 at Duke University's Fuqua School of Business

Certified B Corps and benefit corporations as legal entities
By Andrew Everett
B Corporations are for-profit organizations which serve a variety of stakeholders rather than to enrich shareholders exclusively. Stakeholders include employees, the community, the environment, as well as the firm’s owners. B stands for benefit.

B Lab and Certified B Corps

“The main focus of this book is the Certified B Corporation.” The certification process is administered by B Lab, “a nonprofit organization that serves a global movement to redefine success in business so that one day all companies will compete not only to be the best in the world, but the best for the world.”

“Any visitor to the B Lab website can view a simple report, similar to the nutritional label on a cereal box, that shows how each Certified B Corporation performed on the Workers, Community, Environment, and Governance sections of its assessment. This report makes it easy for consumers, investors, policy makers, and the media to tell the difference between good companies and just good marketing.”

“We feel that B Corp is a ‘No Bulls***’ stamp that proves we mean what we say and is a great way to start a conversation about how and why our business is different,” said Edward Perry, Co-founder and Managing Director of COOK Trading in the United Kingdom.

B Corp Assessment

“The B Impact Assessment, including access to the best practice guides, comparative data, and an individualized improvement report, is a free public service provided by B Lab. If you are interested in becoming a Certified B Corporation, there is an annual B Corp certification fee… You can use the assessment to measure your company’s social and environmental performance, gain valuable insights that can help spark new ideas, and motivate your company to reach for an improved score over time … Some B Corps, such as Ben & Jerry’s and Numi Organic Tea, are going further by using the B Impact Assessment to benchmark their key suppliers… An overall B Impact Score of 40 to 60 is average.” B Corp certification requires a minimum score of 80. “Regardless of your initial overall score, remember that this is a journey of continuous improvement.”

Investors

B Corps have an advantage in attracting investment capital. “Goldman Sachs found that there has been a dramatic increase in the number of investors seeking to incorporate sustainability and environmental, social, and governance factors into their portfolio construction… The Society of Human Resource Management found that the number of [socially responsible investment] funds is likely to double in the next few years to match the rapidly growing interest… All Certified B Corps receive a free Global Impact Investment Rating System (GIIRS) rating and a free listing on B Analytics, an investor-facing platform designed by B Lab.”

Employee Recruitment and Retention

“The B Impact Assessment asks you to think about how your company treats its workers in three major areas: compensation, benefits, and training.” John Replogle, CEO of Seventh Generation said, “Clearly identifying your purpose will attract the very best, brightest, and most passionate people.” Patagonia founder Yvon Chouinard explains why socially responsible policies are good for the bottom line: “It costs a company an average of $50,000 to replace an employee—from recruiting costs, training, and loss of productivity. Our child-care center helps us retain our skilled moms.”

Press

B Corps benefit from media coverage. “Using the power of business to solve social and environmental problems is a positive, innovative, and compelling story that has generated, and continues to generate, a high level of media interest… B Lab nominates and acts as an advocate for B Corps to receive top honors, such as a listing among Bloomberg Businessweek’s Top Social Entrepreneurs.”

Customers

Honeyman asserts that B Corp certification will attract customers. “Transparency builds trust. B Corps are trusted by customers because they have met rigorous standards of social and environmental performance, accountability, and transparency.” This sounds aspirational rather than a present-day reality—I had no idea what a B Corp was before reading this book, so I question widespread consumer awareness. The author adds, “Goldman Sachs also reported that 52 percent of U.S. consumers claim that they actively seek information about companies’ corporate social responsibility record either ‘all of the time’ or ‘sometimes.’” Still, this is surveying what consumer say they’ll do versus measuring what they actually do.

Community

“The B Impact Assessment measures your company’s community impact in five areas: job creation… diversity… engagement and giving… local involvement… suppliers, distributors, and product.”

Environment

“Environmental audits vary depending on the size of the business. A small business, for example, may concentrate primarily on paper, water, and energy use, whereas a large organization may also evaluate emissions, materials, hazardous waste, travel, commuting, and its corporate fleet… Many companies find that the majority of their carbon footprint can be traced back to their supply chains.”

Benefit corporations as legal entities

Aside from B Lab’s Certified B Corp program, more than 25 U.S. states have passed benefit corporation legislation. “By elevating your values to the status of law, your company will be able to maintain its mission through changes in management and ownership…. In the United States, becoming a benefit corporation will not affect your company’s tax status. Your company can still elect to be taxed as a C corp or S corp. Benefit corporation status affects only corporate purpose, accountability, and transparency requirements.” The Benefit Corp Information Center website contains more information including state-by-state legislative status.

The end of the book includes a list of ten TED Talks and other videos by B Corps, including On Better Business by B Lab co-founder Jay Coen Gilbert.

Capitalism, redefined
By Mal Warwick
“We are in the midst of the evolution of capitalism from a century focused on maximizing shareholder value to one focused on maximizing long-term shared value.”

Over the past three decades, a set of bold new ideas promoting this transition has been gaining momentum in the worlds of business and finance. Innovative ventures such as Ben & Jerry’s Ice Cream, Calvert Funds, The Body Shop, Stonyfield Farm, and innumerable others have demonstrated to the satisfaction of growing numbers of businesspeople and investors that businesses thrive when they seek not just to make a profit for their shareholders or owners but to benefit all their stakeholders, including customers, employees, suppliers, and the communities where they do business, as well as the environment. Variously called “socially responsible businesses,” “Triple Bottom Line companies,” “values based businesses,” or by many other labels, these ventures are proving that, in the 21st century, the only truly sustainable businesses are those that serve a mission greater than mere financial profit.

Over this same period, several organizations have sprung up to promote this perspective and serve the entrepreneurs and investors who share it: Social Venture Network (1987), Investors’ Circle and Business for Social Responsibility (1992), Net Impact (1994), and BALLE (the Business Alliance for Local Living Economies, 2001) cater in different ways to this new sector of the economy. Then, in 2006, three young men who had been friends as Stanford undergraduates nearly two decades previously came together to form what may in the final analysis prove to be the most consequential organization of them all: B Lab.

B Lab, a nonprofit organization based in Philadelphia, offers an online questionnaire that thousands of businesses around the world are using to benchmark their progress toward the Triple Bottom Line of People, Planet, and Profit. Those companies that score 80 or more on the 200-question instrument may seek certification as B Corporations (B is for “benefit”). More than one thousand businesses in over 30 countries have done so. B Lab’s strategy is to enshrine the benefit corporation concept in law; 26 states plus the District of Columbia have already done so, nearly all of them with strong bipartisan legislative majorities, and bills have been introduced in another 12 states plus Puerto Rico. By registering separately with the states where they’re incorporated, B Corporations can insulate themselves from lawsuits taking them to task for making decisions on other than purely bottom-line considerations. More importantly from the perspective of those who have founded or run many B Corporations, taking this step makes it very difficult for future generations of directors and officers to reject their companies’ social and environmental mission.

Now sustainability consultant Ryan Honeyman has produced The B Corporation Handbook, a step-by-step introduction to the B Corp concept and the process of securing certification. The Handbook is well-organized and smoothly written and should prove accessible to virtually all comers. Honeyman guides the reader through the certification process, with helpful explanations along the way. If you run a business, or are even planning to start one, you owe it to yourself to read The B Corporation Handbook.

B Corps are the Good News We Need
By Ellen Augustine
In a world awash in Bad News, B Corps are the Good News we need.

Harvard’s Jerome Kagan has found that although humans inherit a biological bias that permits them to feel angry, jealous, selfish, envious, rude, aggressive, or violent, they inherit an even stronger bias for kindness, compassion, cooperation, love, and nurturance. Our business economy and our communities will thrive when we jettison the cutthroat competition and bottom line profit focus and supplant it with WIN WIN WIN for companies, employees, communities, and the environment! Ryan Honeyman presents the path to B Corp status with uplifting stories of highly successful companies and clear steps to create or transform your business.
