In post-Roe America, where our bodies are not our own, the conversation around reproductive healthcare has been systematically stripped of its humanity. Yet no one, but for the patient themselves, understands the humanity in abortion care as the physicians who provide it do. For the first time, one of the 10 doctors to perform third-trimester abortions in the US shares 6 stories that challenge preconceived notions of who gets abortions—and why.

Gough Whitlam: charismatic, inspirational, a trailblazer. There has been no one like him in our nation's public life—a dynamic and visionary leader determined to modernise Australia, who ushered in a new era and left a lasting legacy.

Have you ever questioned why we remain embroiled in multiple global health crises? Populations worldwide are gaining life-shortening excess weight (even in poorer countries), and water contamination is rampant (even in richer countries). In such dire circumstances, a gratitude journal won’t help. The stark reality is that we’ve been sold a monumental lie.

Each year, police officers kill over 1,000 people they've sworn to protect and serve. While some cases capture national attention, most victims remain nameless, their stories untold. The Coroner's Silence reveals a disturbing truth about these cases: coroners and other death investigators are often complicit in obscuring the violent circumstances of in-custody deaths. Through rigorous research—including critical records analysis, public health studies, and interviews with victims' families—this book unmasks the systemic failures within forensic medicine.

Syeda has held over 50 different jobs in 30 years, earning paltry sums in the process. And if she ever took a day off, her job would be lost to another faceless migrant.
