  The Care Divide by Dr. Christopher Voss reveals how healthcare systems shape lives, opportunity, and dignity. 
  Through two vivid stories—Ava, growing up in America’s fragmented system, and Zoe, raised with universal coverage—Dr. Voss shows the stark contrast between fear and freedom. Ava’s life is defined by delayed treatments, surprise bills, and chronic conditions that derail her future. Zoe’s is marked by seamless care, early support, and the freedom to pursue her dreams without fear of losing coverage. 
  Blending human stories with meticulous research, The Care Divide exposes the costs of America’s system: physicians burned out by bureaucracy, families bankrupted by illness, and entrepreneurs trapped in jobs for insurance. In contrast, universal systems worldwide deliver healthier outcomes, stronger communities, and security across generations. 
  More than a policy critique, this book is a call to action. With compassion and clarity, Dr. Voss urges us to envision a future where no one must choose between health and financial security. 
  The Care Divide is essential reading for healthcare professionals, policymakers, and citizens who believe care is a human right. It will open your eyes, stir your heart, and inspire you to join the movement for a system that leaves no one behind.

  'A gorgeous story packed with love, romance and heartfelt emotion. Will bring sunshine into your day!' Phillipa Ashley  
  Laurie Morgan runs a café in the small seaside community of Mermaids Point, named after the beauties rumoured to live in the waters a few miles off the top of the point. 
  When a hazy image is posted online of what appears to be a mermaid, the café and the village are soon full to bursting with curious sightseers. 
  The most eye-catching of the new arrivals is handsome author, Jake Smith, who has rented a cottage for the summer while he works on his new book. Or so he says. In fact, he is a journalist, burned out and disillusioned with life, whose editor has sent him on a crack-pot hunt for mermaids... 
  Jake quickly finds himself drawn to village life, and to the gorgeous woman who runs the local café. But he soon suspects there’s trouble lurking beneath the idyllic façade, and when it looks like Laurie’s family might be involved, Jake faces a difficult choice. Pursue the truth, or protect the woman he’s beginning to fall in love with…

  Spirals in Time - The Secret...

  Seashells, stretching from the deep past into the present day, are touchstones leading into fascinating realms of the natural world and cutting-edge science. In Spirals in Time, marine biologist Helen Scales shows how seashells have been sculpted by the fundamental rules of mathematics and evolution; how they gave us color, gems, food, and new medicines. 
   
   
   
  Members of the phylum Mollusca are among the most ancient animals on the planet. Their shells provide homes for other animals, and across the ages, people have used shells not only as trinkets but also as a form of money, and as powerful symbols of sex and death, prestige and war. 
   
   
   
  The science and natural history of shells are woven into a compelling narrative, revealing their cultural importance and the ways they have been used by humans over the millennia. After surviving multiple mass extinctions millions of years ago, mollusks and their shells still face an onslaught of anthropocentric challenges, including climate change and corrosive oceans. But rather than dwelling on all that is lost, Scales emphasizes that seashells offer an accessible way to reconnect people with nature, helping to bridge the gap between ourselves and the living world. Spirals in Time shows why nature matters and reveals the hidden wonders that you can hold in the palm of your hand.
