Another random fiction choice, "The Truth Teller" by Angela Elwell Hunt was an engaging read. Excellent storytelling and some lessons thrown in along the way. Definitely worth a read amazon.com/Truth-Teller-A…

Another random read, "I Know My Love" by Catherine Gaskin, set in the 19th century about an Irish family heading to Ballarat during the gold rush. An interesting tale & I noted differences in the use of language even though it was written only 60 years ago amazon.com/Know-My-Love-C…

"Deadly Medicines and Organised Crime" by Prof. Peter C Gøtzsche documents Big Pharma at its worst and goes to show that their behaviour during the pandemic was just business as usual. Quite why anyone believes anything these businesses say is beyond me amazon.com/Deadly-Medicin…

"Read Write Own" by Chris Dixon is an excellent book on the topic of blockchains as a technology. I feel like I now understand the potential of blockchains thanks to Chris's clear explanations, examples and predictions for future uses #recommended amazon.com/Read-Write-Own…

"Shoe Dog" by Phil Knight was an engaging and enjoyable read. The story of how Nike came about and the ethos of its founders is fascinating. Also glad to see that the company recently stopped using kangaroo skin in any of its products amazon.com/Shoe-Dog-Memoi…

"The Hard Sell" by Evan Hughes is yet another tale of pharma gone rogue. The story is told well and benefits from strong research. Not to spoil the ending, but good to see a different tack in terms of prosecutions in this case amazon.com/Hard-Sell-Puni…

The 2024 "Volunteer Impact Report" has been published by The Vegan Society & I'm humbled to be included as a case study. Thanks to Kaya Gromocki for her efforts in supporting volunteers & to Emma Parrott for her kind words in my case study #vegan #volunteer vegansociety.com/resources/down…

"Lies My Gov't Told Me" by Robert W Malone, MD is essential reading if we are to avoid repeating the same mistakes in terms of pandemic response. His determined stance is admirable and much of what he discussed in this book has come to pass a couple of years later amazon.com/Lies-My-Govt-T…
