Sinossi

In "Sir Thomas Browne and his 'Religio Medici': An Appreciation," Alexander Whyte offers a profound exploration of Browne's seminal work, which uniquely intertwines philosophy, religion, and science. The literary style is characterized by its rich, meditative prose that reflects Browne's intellectual curiosity and spiritual depth. Whyte analyzes the historical and cultural contexts of the 17th century, highlighting how Browne's reflections on faith and existence resonate with the tumultuous intellectual climate of his time, especially in the wake of the Renaissance and Reformation, where inquiry into the human condition was paramount. Whyte, a distinguished Scottish theologian and author, drew on his extensive knowledge of religious literature to produce this appreciation of Browne. His own background in the intricacies of faith and philosophy deeply informs his analysis, as he seeks not just to evaluate Browne's work, but to uncover the rich implications of its themes. Whyte's nuanced understanding of the relationship between science and spirituality sheds light on Browne's humanistic perspective in an era defined by conflict and uncertainty. This book is an essential read for anyone interested in the intersection of literature and spirituality, providing remarkable insights into Browne's timeless inquiry into the nature of belief and existence. Whyte's eloquence and depth make this work a compelling addition to the scholarship surrounding Browne, rendering it a valuable text for both literary enthusiasts and theological scholars.

    At a time of fierce political divisiveness, From Here to Security is a refreshingly balanced, non-ideological guide to solving what may be our nation's most pressing policy challenge: achieving retirement security for all. 
     
     
     
    A pioneer of the 401(k) system, Robert L. Reynolds eschews radical calls for throwing out the 401(k) entirely and creating a new government-run savings system. Our best course, he shows, is to build on what we have: a flexible, dynamic private-public system of Social Security and more robust workplace savings. From Here to Security provides a clear, powerful new approach to solving America's retirement challenge—based on facts, data, and Reynolds's decades of experience. 
     
     
     
    While fearmongers claim that the US retirement system is on the verge of collapse; Reynolds shows why our system is actually the envy of the world. But From Here to Security is no status quo book. 
     
     
     
    Reynolds lays out an action agenda to dramatically improve our retirement systems—public and private—lift our savings rate, improve people's retirement prospects, spur faster growth—and reboot America's national morale.

    Critical: Why the NHS is being...

    The true, eye-opening account of how the NHS has been failed and what we can do to save it. 
    ‘The NHS is an institution. But it’s also a political football, kicked back and forth between politicians for the past 75 years. It’s a burden to some and a potent vote-winner for others. It’s a construct, framed in the media. It’s a set of ideas and a logo. It’s a workplace for many and the birthplace of almost all of us. It’s become a valued part of our society, it is extraordinarily special – and it’s being destroyed.’  
    The NHS is at crisis point. In the 75 years since it was founded on the dream of making healthcare accessible to everyone, its principles have been chipped away at and disregarded by successive political leaders. The result: an underfunded, understaffed, exhausted workforce, a decimation of patient services and the infiltration of privatisation within our public healthcare system. We are now in danger of losing what we have come to depend upon: the NHS is collapsing and a two-tier healthcare system is emerging in its place. We can stop this, but only if we do it together. 
    In her first book, Dr Julia Grace Patterson, founder of EveryDoctor and fierce advocate for the future of the NHS, lays bare the truth about the current state of our healthcare system and sets forth transformational ideas on how we could save it. A book built on a love of the NHS at its heart, Critical is a must-read for anyone who wants it to survive for another 75 years. 
    Dr Julia Grace Patterson's Critical is a best commentary on the state of the NHS, exploring its history, administration, and the social issues that have led to its current crisis. It is a non-fiction book that offers a unique perspective on the medical challenges of the 20th century. 
    For fans of Graham Smith (Abolish the Monarchy), Jolyon Maugham (Bringing Down Goliath), Isabel Hardman (Fighting for Life), Chris Bryant (Code of Conduct), and Andrew Seaton (Our NHS).
