  THE STUNNING NEW BOOK FROM THE HOST OF BBC 2'S VILLAGES BY THE SEAIn Britain we are surrounded by our coast. It shapes us physically, but it's more than just a place where the land meets the sea. Far from being at the margins of national interests, the coast, and its history, has always been at the core of the British people's most important endeavours and central to era-defining national events.From artefacts lost by hunter-gatherers in a land beneath the sea to the remains of bustling medieval ports, remnants of ancient fortifications to the lingering scars of great industry, our coastline is indelibly imprinted with the traces of  times gone by. Archaeologist and presenter Ben Robinson takes the reader on a journey through Britain's coastal heritage and stories of our past, rediscovering the momentous ways our coastline has impacted our history and continues to influence our nation today.  At once a compelling historical exploration and charming celebration, Coastline is a story of place, people, history and identity, all forged beside the crumbling rock, windswept beaches and pounding waves of the sea.

  A Life Lived Chronically: Memoir of a DES Daughter is a compelling and emotionally resonant memoir written by Claire R. Silverstone-Bright, brought to life through the narration of Kimberly Rog and published by Panda Publishing Agency UK. 
  Long before her birth, Claire’s life was already influenced by diethylstilbestrol (DES), a drug once widely prescribed to pregnant women and promoted as a safeguard against miscarriage. What was once considered a medical advancement was later linked to serious and lasting health effects for daughters exposed to it in the womb. 
  In this powerful audiobook, Claire shares her personal journey as a DES daughter—growing up with chronic illness, facing repeated medical procedures, and living under constant medical observation. Her story goes beyond physical struggles, delving into themes of identity, strength, and perseverance. 
  Far more than a traditional medical memoir, A Life Lived Chronically examines the wider emotional and social implications of inheriting a medical condition shaped by past decisions. With insight drawn from her background in criminology and justice, Claire critically explores the systems of authority, healthcare, and silence that allowed DES to impact generations of women without their knowledge or consent. 
  Blending intimate storytelling with thoughtful analysis, this audiobook offers a meaningful reflection on trust in medicine, the consequences of unchecked scientific progress, and the importance of giving voice to overlooked experiences. 
  Honest, insightful, and deeply moving, A Life Lived Chronically: Memoir of a DES Daughter stands as both a story of resilience and a call to recognize the hidden legacy carried by DES daughters across the world.

  Infected - How Power Politics...

  Muhammad H. Zaman

  In this groundbreaking new book, award-winning scientist Muhammad H. Zaman delves into the history of US epidemics, from the earliest cases of syphilis, cholera, and smallpox to AIDS and the recent COVID crisis, to show how the country's response (or lack thereof) to infectious disease in America is part of a critical, time-tested strategy in America's toolbox of oppression of the weak, the poor, and the non-white. 
   
   
   
  In the vein of Rebecca Skloot's The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks and Dorothy Roberts's Fatal Invention, Infected is the epic story of white supremacists, compromised doctors, racist politicians, and the heroes who challenged them. Zaman shows that exclusionary immigration acts, the Tuskegee syphilis experiments, the development of biological weapons, the early response to the AIDS epidemic, the fake CIA vaccination campaign in Pakistan, and the xenophobic rhetoric sparked by the COVID-19 pandemic are all parts of the same deeper story—one of medical science twisted in the service of social control. 
   
   
   
  This is a story that continues today, on Native American reservations, in foreign zones occupied by the US military, and on our borders, where asylum seekers are denied lifesaving medicines. Melding cutting-edge science and history, Infected presents infection as a key to understanding our recent past, present, and future.
