    What happens when a seasoned physician pulls back the curtain on America's health care system? 
    Dr. Bernard M. Patten has lived medicine from every angle: patient, doctor, advocate, and critic. With wit, candor, and unflinching honesty, he takes readers on an eye-opening journey through decades of encounters that reveal both the brilliance and the failures of modern medicine. 
    From the golden age of doctor-patient trust to today's labyrinth of insurance denials, inflated costs, over-testing, and medical quackery, Patten exposes a system where profits too often come before patients. Along the way, he shares vivid stories about hospitals, doctors, insurance companies, and the people caught in between. 
    This book is a call for clarity, skepticism, and empowerment. Readers will come away better prepared to navigate the complexities of American healthcare, armed with knowledge, perspective, and a critical eye. If you want to understand what went wrong with the most expensive health care system in the world, The Great American Medical Show will inform, provoke, and inspire.

    ‘Rarely is a non-fiction book about science this engaging’ – Forbes 
    Why darkness is so important – to plants, to animals, and to ourselves – and why we must protect it all costs. 
    Darkness is the first thing we know in our human existence. Safe and warm inside the bubble of the womb, we are comfortable in that embracing dark. But as soon as we are bought into the light, we learn to fear the dark. Why? 
    This book is a celebration of all things that go bump in the night and the joy that can be found when the sun goes down. As a society we have closed our curtains to the darkness, now Dani Robertson urges you to cast those curtains wide, step out of your front door and let the darkness pull you in. 
    Some 99 per cent of Western Europeans live under light polluted skies, but what is this doing to our health? Our wellbeing? Our connection to the cycles of nature? 
    Our wildlife, too, has been cast into the harsh glare of our light addiction, with devastating impacts. 
    In this book Dani shares with you the excitement and adventure she has found when everyone else is tucked up in bed. She explores constellations and cultures, enjoys environmental escapades, all whilst learning why we are addicted to light and why it is ruining our lives. She’ll show you why the darkness is so important and why we must protect it all costs. You’ll become a crusader of Darkness and an expert on what we can do to stop the onward march of light pollution (clue: it’s as easy as the flick of a switch). 
    Her life depends on darkness, and yours does too. 
    Dani Robertson's All Through The Night is a non-fiction exploration of the importance of darkness in our ecosystems. It's a journey through the wilderness of the night sky, touching on topics of astronomy, ecology, and conservation. This bestseller is a call to action for the protection of our habitats from light pollution. 
    For fans of John Lewis-Stempel (England), Katherine May (Enchantment), Robin Wall Kimmerer (Gathering Moss), Matt Haig (The Comfort Book), and Derek Gow (Birds, Beasts and Bedlam).

    A searing analysis of health and illness under capitalism from hosts of the hit podcast Death Panel 
     
     
     
    Written by cohosts of the hit Death Panel podcast and longtime disability justice and healthcare activists Beatrice Adler-Bolton and Artie, Health Communism first examines how capital has instrumentalized health, disability, madness, and illness to create a class seen as "surplus," regarded as a fiscal and social burden. Demarcating the healthy from the surplus, the worker from the "unfit" to work, the authors argue, serves not only to undermine solidarity but to mark whole populations for extraction by the industries that have emerged to manage and contain this "surplus" population. Health Communism then looks to the grave threat capital poses to global public health, and at the rare movements around the world that have successfully challenged the extractive economy of health. 
     
     
     
    Ultimately, Adler-Bolton and Vierkant argue, we will not succeed in defeating capitalism until we sever health from capital. To do this will require a radical new politics of solidarity that centers the surplus, built on an understanding that we must not base the value of human life on one's willingness or ability to be productive within the current political economy. Capital, it turns out, only fears health.

    Candid, moving and insightful, Nancy is the most personal look at Nancy Davis Reagan ever published 
    Nancy Davis Reagan has led an extraordinary life; it has also been an extraordinarily private one. Now Mike Deaver, whose relationship with Mrs. Reagan dates back to the1960s, shares the side of Nancy that only her intimates know. 
    The woman portrayed in Nancy is far more complicated than the stereotype. No cardboard cutout, she is pure flesh and blood, a woman of immense will and fortitude. And in the Reagans' fifty-year marriage, Ron always received top billing. She is convinced that her husband was one of the great men of the twentieth century -- a rare world leader who changed the tide of history. Nancy has been no bit player in the story. Deaver believes that Reagan would not have risen to such distinction without Nancy at his side. 
    Reluctantly drawn into politics, Nancy gradually embraced her role. To the president, Nancy Reagan would bring discipline. She would ask the tough questions. When his image might be tainted, she would fervently guard it, even at the expense of her own. 
    To Ronald Reagan the man, who always had trouble expressing intimacy, Nancy gave the gift of her unrestricted love. Now to a man no longer capable of looking after himself, Nancy is everything there is left to be: caretaker, guardian, nurturer of the Reagan legacy.
