The Best Breast 2: The Ultimate Discriminating Woman's Resource for Breast Augmentation
The Best Breast 2: The Ultimate Discriminating Woman's Resource for Breast Augmentation arms women with information based on the realities - not the myths - of breast augmentation so they can avoid complications and learn exactly what it takes to get the best breast. The book leads the way with up-to-date information on implant choices, available surgical options and how to prepare for and recover from surgery - all based on scientific data and 26 years of experience from John Tebbetts, M.D. Redefining patient outcomes is the mission of author duo, John Tebbetts, M.D. - an internationally acclaimed plastic surgeon and author of three highly regarded surgical textbooks on breast augmentation and rhinoplasty - and his wife, Terrye Tebbetts, a patient educator. The drive to improve long-term breast augmentation results led the Tebbetts to pioneer the 24-Hour Recovery(TM) & Out to Dinner Breast Augmentation (TM) which allows patients to return to normal activity after just 24 hours. The clinical significance lies in the fact that a better recovery dramatically reduces the risk of re-operation. The Best Breast 2 features checklists and tear-out flash cards throughout the book that women can use during surgical consultations. A reality TV show about the Tebbetts' practice is currently being pitched to networks..

Discriminating Risk: The U.S. Mortgage Lending Industry in the Twentieth Century
The U.S. home mortgage industry first formalized risk criteria in the 1920s and 1930s to determine which applicants should receive funds. Over the past eighty years, these formulae have become more sophisticated. Guy Stuart demonstrates that the very concepts on which lenders base their decisions reflect a set of social and political values about "who deserves what." Stuart examines the fine line between licit choice and illicit discrimination, arguing that lenders, while eradicating blatantly discriminatory practices, have ignored the racial and economic-class biases that remain encoded in their decision processes. He explains why African Americans and Latinos continue to be at a disadvantage in gaining access to loans: discrimination, he finds, results from the interaction between the way lenders make decisions and the way they shape the social structure of the mortgage and housing markets. Mortgage lenders, Stuart contends, are embedded in and shape a social context that can best be understood in terms of rules, networks, and the production of space. Stuart's history of lenders' risk criteria reveals that they were synthesized from rules of thumb, cultural norms, and untested theories. In addition, his interviews with real estate and lending professionals in the Chicago housing market show us how the criteria are implemented today. Drawing on census and Home Mortgage Disclosure Act data for quantitative support, Stuart concludes with concrete policy proposals that take into account the social structure in which lenders make decisions..
