The Great American Drug Deal: A New Prescription for Innovative and Affordable Medicines
Developing life-changing drugs is risky and expensive—but that’s not what makes them unaffordable.Drug pricing is a staple of every news 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 bold yet realistic and tackle today’s most pressing questions, including:
Why doesn’t insurance make drugs affordable?
How can we prevent price-jacking of older drugs?
Why are drugs more expensive in America than elsewhere?
How can we guarantee that all medicines eventually go generic so they are only temporarily expensive?
What systemic failures led to the opioid crisis, and how can we prevent the next one?The Great American Drug Deal offers clear-eyed scrutiny of all players in the industry and examines vital ideas for closing loopholes, encouraging investment, dealing with bad actors, and educating consumers. It’s time we resolve to support patients and fuel discoveries that ease suffering now and for generations to come.

Deal with a Djinn (Holidate Series Book 5)
Deal with a Djinn is part of the holidate series but can be read as a standalone. In this paranormal twist of Cupid’s Contract, our fave five find themselves in Elloree Falls fighting for their freedom of a Djinn who has taken everything from them.Every fae in existence came from the true fae. A kind and benevolent creature. A light fae.
When they first began to evolve, the Djinn were created. Manipulative and power hungry. A dark fae.
Seeking ultimate power, the Djinn turned the townspeople against the light fae and unalived them all.
That was hundreds of years ago.My name is Everlee and I’m a Squib. A fae born without superpowers. A nobody. Someone seen as barely more tolerable than a human.
In my case it’s almost worse because Helsgard, the high court over the fae, thought I was going to be super powerful… the firstborn of an interspecies coupling. I wasn’t the first, but I’m rare. For the most part, fae species don’t mingle. Too much history and wars for most to see past.
Blood never forgets.
But historically, when there’s an interspecies union, their offspring, especially the firstborn, is more powerful than others of the species they become. My mom is a succubus and my dad is a werewolf. I could have become one of those, or something else entirely. Or, even more rare, a true fae. Each fae holds a recessive gene for the true fae, the sprite little fairies that once existed long ago.
Year after year, we waited, and my powers never presented themselves. I gave up hope long before my parents and the council did. I didn’t feel anything inside of me.
That was before the night of the full super blood moon on Halloween.
When a troll tries to force my hand, I defend myself. Rather, the fae inside of me, who’s been hiding does. A large light ball forms and illuminates the darkness, shining a light right on me.
One, we aren’t supposed to use magic in the club.
Two, only a true fae can make a light ball that bright.
Three, it was a Djinn’s club.Hiding is my only option, until I can figure out who I am and who wants to unalive me. The Djinn is powerful and dark, and she will use anything and anyone to come after me like she did with the true fae hundreds of years ago.

Glunda The Veg Witch
“A witch’s boots told the story of her life. They showed you where she’d been, where she was going, and what kind of a witch she would be when she got there. And, most importantly, they were proof that said witch was not someone to be trifled with. She was to be listened to, and obeyed, and yes sometimes even feared, because her wisdom was hard earned and her wrath swift and mighty. They would have to be, for her to have lived in such boots for so many a year. No one trusted a witch in brand new boots, and rightly so as far as Glunda was concerned.”
Glunda Ashwillow is on top of the world. About to become head witch, and the youngest ever Guardian of the Golden Key, the only thing standing in her way is her old enemy, the Drupe Mages. They have the key, and they’re not willing to give it up without a fight.

Milk Transport
Distribution of milk started from cow houses in the city, or farms using horses and carts. Later, milk was collected in milk churns, which the farmer left on a milk stand at the farm gate and which were collected by a lorry for delivery to the dairy. Milk also used to be moved on the railways, from sidings to dairies around the country.The Milk Marketing Board (MMB) was formed in 1933 and sold the milk to the dairies on behalf of the farmers. In the early years, the milk industry also saw some big names including Co-Op, Express, Unigate and United Dairies, who all had their own transport. In 1993 the government ordered the abolishment of the MMB to allow free competition in the milk industry. This gave the dairies a chance to have their own transport to move bulk milk. At the same time the company Milk Marque was formed, which had the job of moving all the milk which wasn’t supplied directly to the dairy companies.
Using 180 rare and previously unpublished images, Nigel Scaife tells the story of transport and milk.

A Royal Navy Cold War Buccaneer Pilot: Flying the Famous Maritime Strike Aircraft
This is a vivid and powerful story of life on board the last of our great Second World War-era aircraft carriers, modernized to serve beyond their time. It is a story of the Cold War which conveys the trials and tribulations of flying one of the best-loved military aircraft in history.Steve Kershaw joined the Royal Navy in 1963. He began flying training in 1968 and progressed to the Blackburn Buccaneer – a world-class naval strike jet that was designed to fly very fast at ultra-low altitudes. In 1970, Steve joined 800 Naval Air Squadron, which embarked on HMS Eagle on its epic final cruise.
The voyage to the Far East was far from trouble-free – an aircraft crashed into the sea, there was a devastating explosion on board the carrier, and then two sailors were arrested for murder in Auckland. New year 1972 saw HMS Eagle decommissioned and 800 NAS disbanded.
Steve was transferred to 845 Naval Air Squadron, on which he flew Wessex helicopters. Embarked on HMS Hermes, the squadron supported Royal Marines Commandos during their deployment to the mountains of Norway under NATO plans for a European war. During this time, helicopters were strangely sabotaged on board and one of them crashed into a fjord at night.
By 1974, HMS Ark Royal was the last remaining Royal Navy fixed-wing aircraft carrier to which Steve returned to fly Buccaneers on 809 Squadron. It was in this period that he participated in a NATO exercise in Norway and a Mediterranean cruise.
On return, the squadron prepared for a bombing competition between the RAF and Royal Navy Buccaneers. As part of this, Steve flew a low-level sortie off the Lincolnshire coast. The light was fading, and he was struggling to see the target ahead. He failed to see they were losing height. The aircraft hit the sea. Steve and his observer, David, were ejected into the water.
In this book, Steve’s story is revealed by his son, Simon, through the words of his father, drawn from a mass of letters sent by him, and the recollections of those who served alongside him.

The Perfect Transport: and the science of why you can’t have it
What has the prisoner’s dilemma got to do with road traffic? Could we replace our trains with rollercoasters? Would putting spikes on steering wheels decrease road collisions? These questions (and a bunch of others) will be explored, introducing you to some basic concepts of transport science. A variety of thought experiments will be subjected to the limits of physics, engineering, economics, and psychology. This will show why the transport we already have is in fact an immense success!Transport is a sector that affects the everyday life of most people and needs to be continually funded, reviewed and improved to sustain civilisation. This book will arm you with the tools needed to tear political propaganda to pieces as politicians push for transport solutions based on ideology rather than facts.
