Summary

Prehistoric Creatures explores the fascinating history of vertebrate animals that roamed the Earth long before humans. Delving into paleontology, it examines the evolutionary adaptations and extinction events that shaped life across different geological periods, including the Paleozoic, Mesozoic, and Cenozoic Eras.

 
The book argues the fossil record provides direct evidence for evolutionary processes such as adaptation, and extinction. One intriguing aspect covered is how giant amphibians dominated the Paleozoic Era, showcasing early tetrapod evolution.

 
The book progresses chronologically, starting with the Paleozoic Era and extending through the Mesozoic Era (the age of dinosaurs) to the Cenozoic Era and the rise of mammals. It integrates Earth Sciences, Geography, Life Sciences, and Biology to provide a comprehensive understanding of these ancient ecosystems.

 
Notably, the book highlights how understanding past extinctions can inform current conservation efforts, particularly in the face of biodiversity loss, since the subtle interplay of environmental factors, competition, and evolutionary adaptations drove the evolution and extinction of these ancient animals.

Sick Business - The Truth Behind...

Shubhankar, Dr Sumanth C. Raman

A gripping expose of the murky underbelly of the Indian healthcare system 
 
95 per cent of healthcare facilities have less than five workers 
30 million people are pushed into poverty by healthcare costs 
9 lakh C-sections are preventable 
7.04 lakh children under the age of five die of pneumonia and diarrhoea every year 
For Dr Sumanth C. Raman, the numbers don't lie. Decades of witnessing the inner workings of India's healthcare industry first-hand have given him ample reason to question and challenge it. 
In Sick Business, through personal accounts of patients, interviews with doctors and other medical professionals, and numerous reports, he unveils a chilling portrait of a healthcare system marred by vested interests, shady research, lax State intent, questionable ethics and general disarray. Overburdened public hospitals, expensive private healthcare, a rampant culture of quacks, the nexus between big pharma and doctors, a silent epidemic of surgeries and over-diagnosis-the book deals with such burning topics and more as it uncovers the truth behind the pristine façade of hospitals and the doctors who work within. 
Sick Business is a clarion call for reform and change. A gripping expose, in the end the book equips you with some real answers and the tough questions you need to ask when your family's health-and perhaps your own-is at stake.
