‘Captures the brand’s aesthetic brilliance and radical ethos – where beauty, ecology, and purpose go hand in hand.’ – Vogue ‘A 400-page gambol through the company’s archives … a colourful, esoteric world governed by good taste and considered flashes of maximalism’ – Financial Times A special survey published to celebrate 100 years of the influential and innovative Swedish design company Svenskt TennIn 1924, the pioneering designer and entrepreneur Estrid Ericson founded Svenskt Tenn in Stockholm, Sweden. Initially a workshop and retail store dedicated to pewter, Svenskt Tenn’s range was quickly expanded by Ericson into one of the most successful home furnishings and interior design companies of the twentieth century.Svenskt Tenn: Interiors celebrates the legacy of the company’s first 100 years, while also marking its position at the forefront of interior design today. Richly illustrated and beautifully designed, the book delves into the story of Ericson and the company she grew, examining her creative relationship with acclaimed Austrian designer Josef Frank, whose magnificent, boldly patterned textiles and furniture helped define Svenskt Tenn’s distinct aesthetic.Pages of colourful imagery, including never-before-seen photographs and drawings from Svenskt Tenn’s archive, reveal an immaculate selection of classic objects, furniture, and textiles, alongside examples of collaborations with contemporary designers including Michael Anastassiades, Lars Nilsson, Luca Nichetto, Ingegerd Råman, and Fornasetti. Designed by the Dutch graphic designer Irma Boom, Svenskt Tenn: Interiors shows how the iconic Swedish brand continues to create objects of the highest quality to improve and enhance everyday life.

Giant, technologically superior aliens have conquered Earth, but humankind survives - even flourishes in a way. Men and women live, like mice, in burrows in the massive walls of the huge homes of the aliens, and scurry about under their feet, stealing from them. A complex social and religious order has evolved, with women preserving knowledge and working as healers, and men serving as warriors and thieves.For the aliens, men and women are just a nuisance, nothing more than vermin. Which, ironically, may just be humankind's strength and point the way forward.

Suppose... a man who was blasted into our time from the future arrived without any clothes? Suppose... a man who craved the love of beautiful women got too much of it? Suppose... a conscientious young realtor refused to rent a floor in an office building because it didn''t exist? On such faintly horrifying, delightfully absurd speculations are some of these stories founded. With a keen satiric touch William Tenn uses his insight into contemporary life as a springboard into an absolutely believable, if slightly wacky, future.

The general theme of this collection is an ironic and sometimes bitter comment on man''s stupidity to man. But Tenn''s humor is irrepressible and bursts forth in a joyous political satire on the wars of the sexes titled "The Masculinist Revolt" - which may yet bring codpieces back into fashion. The Wooden Star contains the following:Generation of NoahBrooklyn ProjectThe Dark StarNull-PEastward Ho!The DeserterBetelgeuse Bridge"Will You Walk a Little Faster"It Ends with a FlickerLisbon CubedThe Masculinist Revolt

The Seven Sexes is almost entirely dedicated to the cynicism of nature''s prime conman: homo sapiens. The sheer variety of these stories is such that it is difficult to believe they all derive from the same source. Capped by a hilarious piece of nonsense in which a has-been producer cons the seven variable sexes of Venus into starring in a ''typical'' Hollywood love epic, the results defy description . . .

Featuring man''s staggering journey to the stars... In a Tenn''s-eye view of the world, "staggering" can be interpreted in more ways than one, of course. Notably - The warm, human interpretation The feminist interpretation The green-transparent-bubble interpretation The man-in-the-street interpretation Mr. Tenn has included a charming witch tale, a really delicious vampire item, and a superior machine (intergalactic hit) story. These have nothing to do with man''s staggering journey to the stars. They are simply here to add to the confusion. Then again, why couldn''t they have something to do with the square root of man?

TennCare and Disproportionate Share Hospitals

The economic recession and the rising healthcare costs experienced by many states in the U.S. is leading us towards the enactment of legislation that will reform the way that healthcare is provided and paid for within the individual states. TennCare was developed in Tennessee as a bold healthcare reform strategy that would simultaneously contain rapidly rising Medicaid costs while expanding insurance for a large, uninsured Tennessee population.The implementation of TennCare in January 1994 instituted the move of Tennessee's Medicaid patients into managed care health plans. This study describes the design, rationale, implementation strategy, and issues of the reform program, as well as offering in depth insight regarding the effects of the reform strategy on disproportionate share hospitals, i.e. hospitals that serve a large portion of Medicaid and uninsured patients. Data spanning ten years of pre- and post-Tenncare were analyzed to determine the effects of TennCare on the hospitals. Dr. Ogbonna provides a template for dealing with policy, managerial, and administrative issues of rising healthcare costs in Tennessee and the nation in general.

A history of the struggle among competing stakeholders in one of the oldest and most controversial experiments in US health care policy, a precursor to Obamacare. In 1993, Tennessee launched a reform initiative designed to simultaneously expand the proportion of residents with health insurance and curtail cost increases. It was guided by principles that nearly match those that guided the creation of the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare. Like the ACA, TennCare used corporations, rather than a single government payer, to implement the plan and it relied on a mix of managed care, market competition and government regulation.While many states cut back on their Medicaid enrollments from 1993 to 2001, TennCare grew from 750,000 to 1.47 million enrollees. The state was less successful in controlling costs, however. Each major stakeholder group (the state, the managed care organisations, the providers and the enrollees and their advocates) pushed back against parts of the state's strategy that adversely affected their interests and they eventually dismantled the mechanisms of cost constraint.The author lays out the four stakeholder perspectives for each period in the history of TennCare and provides a link to difficult-to-access primary documents.
