Sinopsis

"The Silver Standard" explores how silver once acted as a silent power, influencing global empires and economies, far preceding modern paper currency. The book highlights silver's critical role in shaping world commerce and monetary systems, examining its rise as a globally recognized store of value. One intriguing aspect is how silver's inherent qualities, like malleability and relative scarcity, made it perfect for coinage, driving trade and impacting political power. The book argues that silver was more than just a commodity; it was the linchpin of early globalization, connecting continents in unprecedented ways.

 
The book uses a global perspective connecting disparate regions and historical periods through silver. Beginning with the concept of commodity money, it progresses to analyzing specific historical periods and regions, detailing silver's production, distribution, and use in various economies. A key point is the examination of the Spanish silver boom in the Americas and its effects on Europe and Asia.

 
The book concludes by exploring the legacy of the silver standard, drawing parallels to current monetary policy debates and modern discussions about digital currencies.

    ‘Harden the F#*k Up!’ 
    In today's society, it can be tough to be a man. How often have you heard boys and men told to be tough and strong, or not show weakness, or to not cry? …To ask for help or talk about it will show you are weak. 
    These beliefs and attitudes have been ingrained from a very young age, and it is destroying our men and their families. Depression and mental health issues are rising. In Australia we lose more than seven men to suicide each day. 
    This needs to change… NOW! 
    Soften the F#*k Up! is a guidebook for adults struggling with the aftermath of emotional trauma. Brett Dellar lived with depression for 30 years, almost all of his adult life, as a result of unresolved childhood trauma, never addressing the underlying cause or understanding the impact of being seen as a ‘man’ in today’s society. 
    Brett shares the journey of how he overcame his depression at the age of 50 and the lessons, tools and skills he learned along the way. 
    Soften the F#*k Up! is a book about the challenges men face and the importance of mental and emotional health. It will provide a deeper understanding and insight into how and why men struggle with mental and emotional challenges, as well as provide the tools and skills to help turn life around. 
    This is a hope-filled, love-filled and purpose-filled memoir by a man who is candid about his own struggles and also offers insights and advice for men in today's society. You will not only be inspired to change your life, but also be shown how to take the steps necessary to do so.

    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).
