    On Medicine As Colonialism
    Hortus Curious
    • In this strident, necessary, meticulously researched book Michael Fine shows how the Covid-19 pandemic has thrown the costly failure of the American healthcare system into bold relief. At over 850,000 deaths and climbing, the US had more deaths than any other nation in the world, and one of the highest per capita death rates. On Medicine as Colonialism shows how the American healthcare system cannibalizes communities in the US and around the world. Focusing on how healthcare profiteers use state's power and control of healthcare purchasing to extract resources from communities. On Medicine as Colonialism reveals how medicine and healthcare have become not only antithetical to health but tools of colonialism, that are being used to deconstruct democracy itself.

      Celebrate the weird, wacky, and wonderful world of plants with a book that revels in the diversity of the botanical world. Plants are truly awe inspiring. They can be vast, minute, smelly, or spectacularly ugly. Some look remarkably like animals, others are carnivorous, some grow from the ground, some live in water, while others grow parasitically - taking another plant as its host and their nutrients for itself. With Hortus Curious you can explore the most peculiar and fascinating plants on the planet, and celebrate them in all their diverse splendour. Split into five chapters, Michael Perry explores, in an authoritative yet quirky way, exactly what makes each plant special. With exquisitely detailed illustrations, this is an informative, humorous, and beautiful gift for all those who love plants, delivering a different way to view the plant world and enjoy it for its bonkers and bizarre.
