The Covenant of Water is a novel by Abraham Verghese, the author of Cutting for Stone. It follows three generations of a family in Kerala, South India, who suffer from a peculiar affliction: at least one person dies by drowning. At the turn of the century, a twelve-year-old girl is sent by boat to her wedding, where she will meet her forty-year-old husband for the first time. The novel is a hymn to progress in medicine and human understanding, and a testament to the difficulties undergone by past generations for the sake of those alive today.

    With warmth, honesty, and inspired wisdom, Pulitzer Prize winning journalist Jodi Kantor expands on her triumphant Columbia University commencement address, tackling the question, "How, in this environment, is anyone supposed to find and start their life's work?” Jodi Kantor’s groundbreaking reporting has toppled media magnates, sparked reform worldwide, and foretold many of the unsettling changes we see in the workplace today. But before all of this, Kantor was kicked off her college newspaper. Society expects perfection, but Kantor knows those first professional steps are often rocky. She also knows that young people are facing new and frightening terrain, with political upheaval, skyrocketing costs of living, and the unknowns of AI.   Kantor casts aside platitudes and false hope to offer tangible help. Work is how we spend much of our time. It’s our engine of progress: how cancer therapies are invented, political campaigns won, thrilling art created and matched with an audience. Instead of letting cynicism take over, Kantor identifies two principles to help young people discover their life’s work: craft and need. By pairing the two, they can navigate tough, sensitive choices: how to think about money. How much risk to take on. When to buck what others are saying.   Powerful and provocative, How to Start is a statement of faith for young people as they make their way through uncertain times, offering wisdom, strategy, and a set of aspirations to launch their careers and last their whole lives.

    The nation’s best-loved vet looks back at the funniest, most absurd or heart-breaking animal encounters and situations he has been in over his long and highly successful career. 
    "My mentor and former boss Alf Wight said that the life of a vet is never dull and how true he was. It is funny looking back that he found fame through his James Herriot books, and now his former surgery and myself have been taken to the nation’s heart once again through our show The Yorkshire Vet. 
    "It just shows what a nation of animal lovers we are and these past few years have been particularly challenging for all of us with the Coronavirus outbreak. But what it has shown me is the comfort and support our pets give us in times like these. All the same, it was this, along with recent changes to my working life that gave me an opportunity to reflect, so I want to look back at some of my favourite cases and share them with you."

    ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK 
    “Caste” by Isabel Wilkerson explores the deeply ingrained social hierarchies that shape societies, focusing on the concept of caste as a rigid system of human division. Drawing comparisons between the caste systems in India, Nazi Germany, and the United States, Wilkerson examines how race and class have been used to justify inequality and oppression. Through historical analysis and personal stories, the book reveals how caste systems dehumanize individuals and perpetuate social divisions. Wilkerson emphasizes the lasting impact of these systems on both personal identity and collective society, urging readers to confront and dismantle the structures of caste.
