The Apples, Amazons and Googles of the next few decades will be biotech companies. The tech companies of the last few years have changed how we do things but the businesses driving the biotech revolution are about making life better. These companies will solve many of our most intractable problems: cancer, dementia, diabetes, elderly care, mental health challenges, even power generation and agricultural production. Biotech will mean that we can live far better, safer, healthier, wealthier, happier, and longer lives. Very few people in the general population have any idea of the phenomenal progress being made in these areas. There are already "miracle cures" for several diseases with far more to come. Exponential progress will drive the price of such things down far enough to make them widely available globally. This goes a long way beyond just "healthcare". These technologies could be key to dealing with climate change and the destruction of the natural world. This is a landmark and important book by a biotech investment expert who has been working in the industry for the past 6.5 years and knows how biotech does and doesn't work, as well as having a fair few interesting stories about working with some of the leading players / companies in the space. To add a current spin to this, his biggest client, Oxford Biomedica, is one of the main manufacturers of the Astra Zeneca COVID vaccine and is also the company that helped Novartis get the cost of treatment for kids with leukaemia down from $3 million a go to $300,000. The company has gone from £20m value to over a billion (and in the FTSE250) in the last 7 years as a result. The book explains what biotech is, what is coming next, and in a final section, how interested investors can profit from it.

Welcome to the biotech revolution.

In the last century, technology has transformed the human experience across the world. This has been super-charged by the arrival of the internet, smart phones, AI and machine learning, and created trillion-plus dollar companies and household names like Apple, Amazon, Google and Microsoft.

Our Future is Biotech explains why biotech is next: because our biggest remaining challenges as a species concern biological systems.

Biotech companies will solve our most intractable problems, from cancer, dementia, obesity and diabetes to elderly care, mental health conditions, and even clean power generation, agricultural production and environmental degradation.

Biotech means that we can all live better, safer, healthier, wealthier, happier, and longer lives.

The industry has already delivered "miracle cures" for several diseases, and there is more to come. But despite this, few people are aware of the phenomenal progress being made. Our Future is Biotech addresses this, explaining what biotech is, what is coming next, and how you might profit from it too.

Tech has been the most important theme for human progress for the last century. Biotech is next.

Triumph and Tribulation - No ship should be without Tabasco sauce (Paperback, New edition): H.W. Tilman Triumph and Tribulation - No ship should be without Tabasco sauce (Paperback, New edition)

'Experience is said to be the name men give to their mistakes and of the experience I gained in Spitsbergen that may well be true.' The circumnavigation of Spitsbergen is the first of three voyages described in H.W. 'Bill' Tilman's fifteenth and final book, a remarkable example of Tilman's ability to triumph when supported by a crew game for all challenges. The 1974 voyage of the pilot cutter Baroque takes Tilman to his furthest north--the highest latitude of any of his travels in the northern or southern hemisphere. The account of this achievement makes compelling reading, the crew pulling together to avert potential disaster from a navigational misjudgement. A younger, less experienced crew join Tilman in 1975, this time heading north along Greenland's west coast until a break in the boom necessitates the abandonment of the objective and an early return. 'That one can never be quite confident of reaching any of the places I aim at may be part of their charm, and failure is at least an excuse for making another voyage.' The following year proves to be Tilman's last voyage in his own boat, his account beginning with a dry nod to his artillery background: 'As I begin to describe this voyage, the discrepancy between the target and the fall of shot provokes a wry smile.' Tilman never expected crews to pay, covering all the costs of his voyages personally. He therefore held the quite reasonable view that his crew would pull their weight, show loyalty to the ship and take the rough with the smooth. Sadly, the crew in 1976 fell far short of that expectation, forcing several changes of plan and eventually obliging Tilman to leave Baroque in Iceland. Not for the first time in Tilman's remarkable 140,000 miles of voyaging is he moved to quote Conrad: 'Ships are all right, it's the men in them.' Tilman set a high standard and led by example; where his companions rose to the challenge, as they did in the majority of his expeditions, the results were often remarkable. Triumph and Tribulation, his fifteenth and final book, completes this newly extended edition of his literary legacy, a fine testament to a remarkable life.
