Volume IV: Financial Crises and Financial Fraud

A History of Medicine in Twelve Objects is an entertaining and insightful guide through the instruments that have come to shape modern medicine as we know it.

Discover the fascinating history of medicine from its primitive beginnings to the lifesaving technologies of today. Award-winning author Dr Carol Cooper takes you on a journey through the 12 objects that have come to define medicine through the ages – from the barbaric and bizarre to the inventive and impressive, this captivating read is peppered with fascinating anecdotes. In this unique history, you will discover how ill health has been with us for as long as humans have existed, as has the drive to treat and understand it. Over the course of centuries, the ways in which doctors have engaged with sickness has changed drastically, and so too have the tools at their disposal. And as these tools have morphed and evolved, our knowledge of health and disease has expanded. Medical theories have slowly advanced, allowing people to live longer and healthier lives. The 12 groundbreaking tools explored in this collection include: THE TREPHINE THE BONE SAW THE MASK THE MICROSCOPE THE STETHOSCOPE THE ETHER INHALER THE HYPODERMIC SYRINGE THE OBSTETRIC FORCEPS THE X -RAY MACHINE THE ECT MACHINE THE HIP PROSTHESIS THE HEART-LUNG MACHINE The history of these medical tools is truly astounding, revealing the true extent of human ingenuity, curiosity, and compassion. This is a book for anyone interested in medical history or looking for a fresh and dynamic take on their specialist subject. With her immense knowledge and engaging writing style, Dr Cooper delivers a history that is not for the faint of heart.

THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER, BEST SUMMER BOOK and MOST-ANTICIPATED BOOK OF 2025 FROM THE FINANCIAL TIMES, NEW STATESMAN and NEXT BIG IDEA CLUB 'Downing Street's current hot read' Andrew Marr 'Spectacular ... Inspires hope' New York Times 'Forceful, quick-moving ... important' Financial Times 'Ambitious' New Yorker 'Necessary' New Statesman 'Chilling ... Inspirational ... A book that matters' Sunday Times 'One of the most important political books of the past decade' The New European The threat to liberal democracy isn't just autocrats - it's a lack of effective action by so-called progressives. We have the means to build an equitable world without hunger, fuelled by clean energy. Instead, we have a politics driven by scarcity, lives defined by unaffordability and public institutions that no longer deliver on big ideas. It's time for change. Bestselling authors Ezra Klein and Derek Thompson have spent decades analysing the political, economic and cultural forces that have led us here. In this once-in-a-generation intervention, they unpick the barriers to progress and show how we can, and must, shift the political agenda to one that not only protects and preserves, but also builds. From healthcare to housing, infrastructure to innovation, they lay out a path to a future defined not by fear, but by abundance.

A History of the World in Six Plagues

Russia has more trees than there are stars in our galaxy, and the forest lies at the heart of this vast nation's history and culture.The Oak and the Larchtells the story of the northern Eurasian forests which have, over the centuries, been part of the territories of Chinggis Khan's Golden Horde, the Russian Empire, the Soviet Union and now the Russian Federation, Ukraine, Belarus, Poland, and Mongolia. Ranging from the medieval era to the present, Pinkham draws on literature - from indigenous legends to canonical works by Tolstoy and Turgenev - as well as political history, art, music, and original reportage. As she traces the forest's role as a wellspring of national identity, a place of shelter, conflict and survival against the odds, Pinkham also shows the threats facing the forests - and what we stand to lose when nature is depleted.
