The Great American Drug Deal A New Prescription for Innovative and Affordable Medicines by Peter Kolchinsky
epub | 12.16 MB | Author :Peter Kolchinsky | Evelexa Press
Book Description :
Developing life-changing drugs is risky and expensive-but that's not what makes them unaffordable.
Drug pricing is a staple of every ne cycle and political debate. And while we've struggled for decades to agree on solutions that serve all patients without jeopardizing the invention of new medicines, many Americans suffer because they can't afford the drugs they need.
Do we really have to choose between affordability and innovation?
In The Great American Drug Deal, scientist and industry expert Peter Kolchinsky answers this question with a decisive No. The pharmaceutical industry's commitment to creating new lifesaving drugs destined to become inexpensive generics can be balanced by the healthcare system's commitment to making those drugs affordable for all patients-a Biotech Social Contract. Through deep research and compelling stories of breakthroughs and breakdowns, Kolchinsky presents solutions for striking a balance that are...

London in the Eighteenth Century A Great and Monstrous Thing by Jerry White
epub | 4.96 MB | English | Author :Jerry White | Random House
Book Description :
Jerry White's London in the Eighteenth Century is an unrivalled, panoramic account of the city's dramatic century of rebirth by its leading expert.
London in the eighteenth century had risen from the ashes. The city and its people had been brought to the brink by the Great Fire of 1666. But the century that followed was a period of vigorous expansion, of scientific and artistic genius, of blossoming reason, civility, elegance and manners. It was also an age of extremes: of starving poverty and exquisite fashion, of joy and despair, of sentiment and cruelty.
In Jerry White's acclaimed history of London's magnificent and boisterous rebirth we witness the astonishing drama of daily life in the midst of this burgeoning city.

Sins of the Bees A Novel by Annie Lampman
epub | 2.45 MB | English | Author :Annie Lampman | Pegasus Books
Book Description :
Sins of the Bees blends the majesty and mystery of Where the Crawdads Sing with the character explorations of The Girls to present the lives of two very different women and their tumultuous interactions with a dangerous doomsday cult.
Other than her bonsai trees, twenty-year-old arborist Silvania August Moonbeam Merigal is alone in the world. After first her mother dies and then her grandfather-the man who raised her and the last of her family-Silva suffers a sexual assault and becomes pregnant. Then, ready to end her own life, she discovers evidence of a long-lost artist grandmother, Isabelle.
Desperate to remake a family for herself, Silva leaves her island home on the Puget Sound and traces her grandmother's path to first a hippie beekeeper named Nick Larkins, and then to a religious, anti-government, Y2K cult embedded deep in the wilds of Hells Canyon. Len Dietz is the charismatic leader of the Almost Paradise compound, a place full of violence and drama: impregnated child brides called the Twelve Maidens, an armed occupation of a visitor's center, shot-up mountain sheep washing up along with a half-drowned dog, and men transporting weapons in the middle of the night.
As Isabelle paints portraits of Len Dietz and the Twelve Maidens ceremonially progressing toward their group marriage on the prophesized end of the world-January 1, 2000, the new millennium-Silva moves ever closer to finding her grandmother in Hells Canyon and finds herself drawn Nick, whose life is also irrevocably tied to Len Dietz.
As tensions erupt into violence, Silva, Isabelle, Nick, and the members of Almost Paradise find themselves disastrously entangled. And like the ancient bonsai struggling to navigate territories both new and old, Silva is forced to face both her own history of loss, and the history of loss she's stepped into: ruinous stories of family that threaten to destroy them all.

Fable by Adrienne Young
epub | 3.17 MB | English | Author :Adrienne Young | St. Martin's Publishing Group
Book Description :
Filled with all of the action, emotion, and lyrical writing that brought listeners to Sky in the Deep , New York Times bestselling author Adrienne Young returns with Fable , the first audiobook in this new captivating duology.
Welcome to a world made dangerous by the sea and by those who wish to profit from it. Where a young girl must find her place and her family while trying to survive in a world built for men.
As the daughter of the most powerful trader in the Narro, the sea is the only home seventeen-year-old Fable has ever known. It's been four years since the night she watched her mother drown during an unforgiving storm. The next day her father abandoned her on a legendary island filled with thieves and little food. To survive she must keep to herself, learn to trust no one and rely on the unique skills her mother taught her. The only thing that keeps her going is the goal of getting off the island, finding her father and demanding her rightful place beside him and his crew. To do so Fable enlists the help of a young trader named West to get her off the island and across the Narro to her father.
But her father's rivalries and the dangers of his trading enterprise have only multiplied since she last saw him and Fable soon finds that West isn't who he seems. Together, they will have to survive more than the treacherous storms that haunt the Narro if they're going to stay alive.
* Fable *takes you on a spectacular journey filled with romance, intrigue and adventure.
A Macmillan Audio production from Wednesday Books
"Gripping, immersive, and absolutely masterful, Fable reels you in with the promise of beauty, and holds you tight with Young's signature grit. I couldn't turn the pages quickly enough." -Adalyn Grace, New York Times bestselling author of All The Stars and Teeth
"I could taste the salt in the air and feel the waves beneath the Marigold. In a brutal world Fable shines as tenacious yet vulnerable, unafraid to do what she must to survive. This story caught me by the throat and refused to let go!" - Shelby Mahurin, New York Times bestselling author of Serpent & Dove

Foursome Alfred Stieglitz, Georgia O'Keeffe, Paul Strand, Rebecca Salsbury by Carolyn Burke
epub | 18.61 MB | English | Author :Carolyn Burke | Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group
Book Description :
A captivating, spirited account of the intense relationship among four artists whose strong personalities, passionate feelings, and aesthetic ideals drew them together, pulled them apart, and profoundly influenced the very shape of twentieth-century art.
New York, 1921: Alfred Stieglitz, the most influential figure in early twentieth-century photography, celebrates the success of his latest exhibition-the centerpiece, a series of nude portraits of the young Georgia O'Keeffe, soon to be his wife. It is a turning point for O'Keeffe, poised to make her entrance in the art scene-and for Rebecca Salsbury, the fiancée of Stieglitz's protégé at the time, Paul Strand. When Strand introduces Salsbury to Stieglitz and O'Keeffe, it is the first moment of a bond between the two couples that would last more than a decade and reverberate throughout their lives. In the years that followed, O'Keeffe and Stieglitz became the predominant couple in American...

After Evangelicalism The Path to a New Christianity by David P Gushee
epub | 398.86 KB | English | Author :David P. Gushee | 9780664266110 | 2020 | Presbyterian Publishing Corporation
Book Description :
A building crescendo of developments, culminating in evangelical support for the Trump presidency, has led many evangelicals to question the faith they inherited. If being Christian means rejecting LGBTQ persons and supporting systemic racism, perhaps their Christian journey is over.
David Gushee offers a new way forward for disillusioned post-evangelicals by first analyzing what went wrong with U.S. white evangelicalism in areas such as evangelical identity, biblical interpretation, church life, sexuality, politics, and race. Gushee then proposes new ways of Christian believing, belonging, and behaving, helping post-evangelicals from where they are to a living relationship with Christ and an intellectually cogent and morally robust post-evangelical faith. After Evangelicalism sho that it is possible to follow Jesus out of evangelical Christianity, and more than that, it's necessary.

Letters to a Young Pastor by Calvin Miller
epub | 386.75 KB | English | Author :Calvin Miller | 2011 | David C Cook
Book Description :
Calvin Miller didn't learn everything he needed to know about being a pastor in his first year of seminary or his twenty-fifth year with the church. He learned it along the way. And he's got the battle scars to prove it. Having survived and sometimes even thrived, Miller now shares his well-earned wisdom with the next generation of pastors-including you, or someone you know. Miller acknowledges much has changed over his years of ministry, as we've moved from switchboards to smart phones and from big-haired evangelists to cigar-smoking emergents. But two truths remain: God is love and people are broken. In this honest, engaging, and humorous collection of letters, he encourages you to fight the good fight, stay the course, and keep your eye on the Author and Finisher of the faith.

The Cult of Smart How Our Broken Education System Perpetuates Social Injustice by Fredrik deBoer
epub | 1.36 MB | English | Author :Fredrik deBoer | St. Martin's Publishing Group
Book Description :
Leftist firebrand Fredrik deBoer exposes the lie at the heart of our educational system and demands top to bottom reform.
Everyone agrees that education is the key to creating a more just and equal world, and that our schools are broken and failing. Preposed reforms variously target incompetent teachers, corrupt union practices, or outdated curricula, but no one acknowledges a scientifically-proven fact that we all understand intuitively: academic potential varies between individuals, and cannot be dramatically improved. In The Cult of Smart, educator and outspoken leftist Fredrik deBoer exposes this omission as the central flaw of our entire society, which has created and perpetuated an unjust class structure based on intellectual ability.
Since cognitive talent varies from person to person, our education system can never create equal opportunity for all. Instead, it teaches our children that heirarchy and competition are natural, and that...

Thin Girls A Novel by Diana Clarke
epub | 1.31 MB | English | Author :Diana Clarke | HarperCollins
Book Description :
A dark, edgy, voice-driven literary debut novel about twin sisters that explores body image and queerness as well as toxic diet culture and the power of sisterhood, love, and lifelong friendships, written by a talented protégé of Roxane Gay.
Rose and Lily Winters are twins, so close their bond is magical: they can feel each other's emotions and taste the way the other is feeling. But their connection can be destructive. The sisters are yin and yang; when Rose stops eating, Lily starts . . . when Lily starts eating, Rose stops.
Like most women, the twins have struggled with their bodies and food since childhood. When the girls at school started dieting and the difference between being unpopular or popular was eating or not, Rose began to restrict her diet while Lily continued eating-overeating-everything that Rose wouldn't and couldn't. Now, the adult Rose is living in a rehabilitation facility for anorexics with a herd of...

"Readers who are dealing with depression, parenting struggles, questions of identity and self-image, or who simply find it hard to bring prayer into their chaotic life will find welcome encouragement in Lawler's rejuvenating words." - Publishers Weekly
Popular writer and blogger Kara Lawler sho women how to embrace the sacred in mundane, ordinary life--and in the process, discover themselves.

- Dealing with hardships and understanding unconditional love
- How to view life as an adventure, even when that feels too hard
- How to feel more connected, more grateful, and more at peace
In beautiful prose, Lawler describes the unique sacredness found in God's creation and offers fifteen inspiring insights for cultivating it day-to-day. She encourages you to make this lifestyle change through the observance of small acts. In so doing, you will discover a holy space that honors God and the life you've been given--and will discover yourself and your unique place in the holy that is everywhere, whether it's in the woods behind your house or in the face of a stranger on a bus in a busy city. No matter where you are, there is holy free for the taking.

What Really Happened The Death of Hitler by Robert J Hutchinson
epub | 10.99 MB | English | Author :Robert J. Hutchinson | Regnery Publishing
Book Description :
After World War II, 50 percent of Americans polled said they didn't believe Adolf Hitler and Eva Braun had committed suicide in their bunker in 1945, as captured Nazi officials claimed. Instead, they believed the dictator faked his death and escaped, perhaps to Argentina.
This wasn't a crazy opinion: Joseph Stalin told Allied leaders that Soviet forces never discovered Hitler's body and that he personally believed the Nazi leader had escaped justice.
At least two German submarines crossed the Atlantic and landed on the coast of Argentina in July 1945. Plus, there were numerous reports of top Nazi officials successfully fleeing to South America where there was a large German colony.
Incredible as it sounds, the mystery surrounding Adolf Hitler's final days only deepened in 2009 when a U.S. forensic team announced that a piece of Hitler's skull held in Soviet archives was not actually Hitler's. International interest increased further in 2014 when the FBI released previously classified files detailing investigations surrounding Hitler's possible escape. And the following year, The History Channel launched a three-year reality TV series investigating if it was possible Hitler did somehow survive.
So what really happened?
Popular history writer Robert J. Hutchinson, author of What Really Happened: The Lincoln Assassination, takes a fresh look at the evidence and discovers, once and for all, the truth about Hitler's last week in Berlin. Among the questions the book explores are... - What did surviving Nazi eyewitnesses really say about the Führer's final days in the bunker - and could they have been lying to aid Hitler's escape?
- If Hitler didn't escape, why did the Allies not find his body?
- What about Hitler's proven use of body doubles? Could Hitler have used a body double in the bunker while he and Eva Braun flew to safety in a long-range aircraft that took off from a runway in Berlin's Tiergarten?
- Why did the FBI continue to investigate reports of Hitler's survival for more than a decade after World War II -- reports that were only declassified in 2014?
- What about sensational claims in books such as The Grey Wolf that Hitler and Eva Braun lived in an isolated chalet in the Andes - and that Hitler died in 1962?
- Why were forensic tests on crucial physical evidence only conducted in 2017, more than 70 years after World War II ended?
- And lots MORE.

The Crusader Ronald Reagan and the Fall of Communism by Paul Kengor
epub | 4.28 MB | English | Author :Paul Kengor | 9780061740992 | 2006 | HarperCollins
Book Description :
Based on extraordinary research: a major reassessment of Ronald Reagan's lifelong crusade to dismantle the Soviet Empire-including shocking revelations about the liberal American politician who tried to collude with USSR to counter Reagan's efforts
Paul Kengor's God and Ronald Reagan made presidential historian Paul Kengor's name as one of the premier chroniclers of the life and career of the 40th president. Now, with The Crusader, Kengor returns with the one book about Reagan that has not been written: The story of his lifelong crusade against communism, and of his dogged-and ultimately triumphant-effort to overthrow the Soviet Union.
Drawing upon reams of newly declassified presidential papers, as well as untapped Soviet media archives and new intervie with key players, Kengor traces Reagan's efforts to target the Soviet Union from his days as governor of California to the fall of the Berlin Wall and the collapse of what he famously dubbed the "Evil Empire." The result is a major revision and enhancement of what historians are only beginning to realize: That Reagan not only wished for the collapse of communism, but had a deep and specific understanding of what it would take--and effected dozens of policy shifts that brought the USSR to its heels within a decade of his presidency.
The Crusader makes use of key sources from behind the Iron Curtain, including one key memo that implicates a major American liberal politician-still in office today-in a scheme to enlist Soviet premier Yuri Andropov to help defeat Reagan's 1984 reelection bid. Such new finds make The Crusader not just a work of extraordinary history, but a work of explosive revelation that will be debated as hotly in 2006 as Reagan's policies were in the 1980s.

Wolf of Wessex by Matthew Harffy

Book Description :
'Harffy's Dunston is a fantastic creation - old, creaking and misanthropic. The forest is beautifully evoked. A treat of a book' The Times.
AD 838. Deep in the forests of Wessex, Dunston's solitary existence is shattered when he stumbles on a mutilated corpse.
Accused of the murder, Dunston must clear his name and keep the dead man's daughter alive in the face of savage pursuers desperate to prevent a terrible secret from being revealed.
Rushing headlong through Wessex, Dunston will need to use all the skills of survival garnered from a lifetime in the wilderness. And if he has any hope of victory against the implacable enemies on their trail, he must confront his long-buried past - becoming the man he once was and embracing traits he had promised he would never return to. The Wolf of Wessex must hunt again; honour and duty demand it.
