Dr Roopa's Body Books: The Glorious Gut

Discover the story of life on our planet as you have never seen it before! The perfect gift for the curious of any age. From the first tiny bubbles of life in the ocean to the arrival of endlessly adaptable apes, this is the ultimate survival story. In 30 bite-size chapters, Nature editor and author of the award-winning A (Very) Short History of Life on Earth, Henry Gee tells the incredible, unlikely story of life on our planet, with vibrant colour illustrations from Raxenne Maniquiz. The Wonder of Life on Earth packs billions of years of evolution into one amazing 80-page book, journeying through disasters, evolutionary oddities, and a planet shaped by supervolcanoes, toxic air, and asteroids - always focusing on the most pivotal, important moments. Talented botanical illustrator Raxenne Maniquiz brings to life a parade of strange and marvellous creatures. Travel back in time to look inside bacteria and the first cells, to the planet's first trees and plants, to the weird rangeomorphs, and on to armoured fishes, dinosaurs, nimble mammals and resourceful apes and primates. Henry's gripping narrative makes it easy to understand the carbon cycle, natural selection, fossilisation and the galactic fluctuations that have shaped our planet and the life on its surface. Complete with a glossary, a timeline and a view into the future, this astonishing and readable natural history is perfect for younger readers and anyone looking for an accessible introduction to the biggest topic around: LIFE.

An astonishing, beautifully illustrated nonfiction book telling the story of 4.6 billion years of life on planet Earth, from the winner of the Royal Society Science Book Prize.

A beautifully illustrated story of our planet, evolution and you, by the winner of the Royal Society Science Book Prize

Sleep better. Feel more energised. Reset your body clock. 'The Inner Clock explores the science of why your circadian rhythms fall out of sync - and how to get them back on track' JAMES NESTOR, bestselling author of Breath Why are you tired, wired at night or struggling to sleep? Your body runs on an internal clock that controls sleep, energy, mood and metabolism. But modern life - artificial light, irregular routines and late-night habits - disrupts these natural rhythms. In The Inner Clock, Lynne Peeples reveals how understanding your circadian rhythm can help you: - Fall asleep faster and wake up refreshed - Improve energy, focus and mental clarity - Support long-term health and wellbeing - Use simple daily habits to reset your body clock Blending cutting-edge science with real-world insight, this book shows how small changes - like light exposure, meal timing and sleep consistency - can have a powerful impact on how you feel every day. 'Fascinating scientific insights and practical tips for better sleep' SUNDAY TIMES 'Full of new ideas on how to reset your rhythms and live healthier' NEW SCIENTIST

Living in Sync With Our Circadian Rhythms

The Inner Clock

'Simply the best book I've read on women's fitness and health' PROFESSOR ALICE ROBERTS 'A roadmap for being strong, capable, and free in our bodies at every age' JAMEELA JAMIL 'Witty, data-driven and realistic . . . the only way exercise should be written about!' JENNIFER COX What comes to mind when you picture your older self? For too long, social media and the fitness industry have prioritised aesthetics over our health. Every year, we are bombarded with the message to 'train for our bikini body', warping our relationship with exercise and flooding us with misinformation. It's easy to feel overwhelmed, or worse, give up on your fitness journey altogether. When Elizabeth Davies wet herself during an exercise class, she realised she knew next to nothing about her body. Ditching her law career to become a personal trainer meant she discovered some real home truths along the way. Like learning that muscle mass decreases by approximately 3-8% per decade after the age of thirty, or that osteoporosis affects one in three women over the age of 50 worldwide. Finding the best products to fight wrinkles might make you look younger, but they won't protect your muscles or your bone density. And what about mobility? Your pelvic floor? Your heart? Organised around core principles rather than strict prescriptions, Training For Your Old Lady Body invites readers to understand their bodies, make informed decisions and build a long-term, compassionate relationship with movement. Rather than offering a rigid programme or prescriptive 'one-size-fits-all' routines, this book gives women the knowledge they need to train in ways that keep them moving well for decades. This is not a six-week bikini body transformation. It's a way of training for life.

An honest, no bullsh*t guide to help women (re)frame exercise

XAND VAN TULLEKEN'Elegantly distils the evidence for what we have always intuitively felt; that music, literature, cinema, and art are powerful universal remedies . . . A book for our times.' GILLIAN ANDERSONDIET. SLEEP. EXERCISE. NATURE. ARTS?Many of us consider making and consuming art to be a hobby, or even a luxury.

Could not be more timely, nor make a stronger, more urgent case for placing the arts at the centre of our communities.' MELVYN BRAGG, broadcaster and parliamentarian'Fascinating, comprehensive, compelling, inspiring.' DR CHRISTOPHER BAILEY, World Health Organization

Just a Little Hug

Giving birth is everyone's business.In this book, midwife and bestselling author Leah Hazard takes us from luxurious birthing suites to maximum-security prisons, from border-town clinics to refugee camps, freebirthing communities to wards dominated by algorithms, showing how childbirth provides a startling lens onto the biggest issues of our time. With clarity and curiosity, Hazard explores how inequality, migration, climate change and political currents are shaping this universal yet intimate human experience, revealing the competing forces that are battling to technologize, moralize, commoditize and dominate the birth space in ways that have already transformed our bodies and our world.In exposing the fragility of modern industrialized maternity care Birth Wars issues a warning and a rallying cry: highlighting the transformative - or destructive - power of this essential act, not only for the person giving birth, but also for the child who bears the lifelong effects of that day, and for society as a whole.

Boost mental sharpness today and prevent cognitive decline tomorrow, including Alzheimer's disease, with science-backed strategies that will extend your brain's longevity beyond what you thought was possible. 'As global health declines, Dr Wood's voice urgently needs amplifying' - DR RANGAN CHATTERJEE, bestselling author We take care of our hearts and joints as we age - but what about our brains? With people struggling to focus, and dementia and Alzheimer's on the rise, Dr Wood offers a bold, empowering message: our brains are not destined to decline. In fact, with the right stimulus, they can adapt, strengthen and even improve over time. In THE STIMULATED MIND, Dr Wood introduces his science-backed '3-S Model' - Stimulation, Sleep and Nutrient Supply - as the foundation for lifelong brain health. Forget expensive supplements or rigid 'biohacks'. Instead, Dr Wood focuses on the everyday factors that truly matter: how we eat, move, sleep, connect with others and handle stress. Blending cutting-edge neuroscience with his work coaching elite athletes and professionals, Dr Wood offers a deeply practical, optimistic roadmap for cognitive longevity - helping us not just protect our brains from decline, but expand our mental capacity as we age.

'Everything you want to know about the drugs your GP prescribes (but are too trusting to ask)' - The Times magazine How do you know if the medicine you're taking is right for you? Should you worry about side effects, and, if so, how much? And how can you advocate for a loved one when it comes to being prescribed medication? In How to Take Drugs, world-renowned pharmaceutical expert Dr Nick Barber answers these questions and more, explaining how medicines actually work on your body, how they're tested, and why they are often so much less effective than you might think. Dr. Barber's clear 'Avoid, Kiss, Marry, Divorce' framework offers a practical guide for evaluating how your medication is working, and offers solutions - whether you're taking medicines now, facing a new diagnosis, or supporting others with their healthcare. In a world full of contradictory medical information and concerns around over-prescription, it is an essential, eye-opening read. 'Likely to be the kind of book we should all have chained to our wrists, given the sheer amount of prescription medicines we are likely to consume in a lifetime.' - New Scientist 'This book will change lives. It has changed mine.' Yasmin Alibhai-Brown 'A lively and empowering read, full of deftly explained science, good humour and humanity.' - Dr Lucy Pollock, author of The Book About Getting Older

A blueprint for how we can collectively build a thriving world, from a leading behavioural scientistEat healthily, cut back on alcohol, quit smoking, cycle to work, fly less - we all know what we should be doing. So why aren't we?The answer is both simple and radical: the world is stacked against us. From the moment we wake up, our decisions are shaped by the shops we visit, the streets we walk, the ads we scroll through. These environments are not neutral. They are designed for our convenience and immediate gratification, and to serve the interests of four industries: tobacco, ultra-processed food, alcohol and fossil fuels.Together, these industries drive the climate crisis, from greenhouse gas emissions to deforestation, and contribute to at least one in four deaths worldwide. Yet we are told the problem is one of personal responsibility - that with more information, smarter habits or new technologies, we can change our behaviour.This book challenges those myths. Drawing on decades of cutting-edge science and compelling case studies from around the world, leading behavioural scientist Theresa Marteau explores what actually works, and why those in power keep failing to act on the evidence. From taxing sugary drinks in Mexico to redesigning streets in Paris, from restricting junk food advertising in London to electing more women to office, Marteau shows how proven interventions applied at scale could transform our health and the health of our planet.Clear-eyed and incisive, this is an inspiring blueprint for how together, citizens and governments can push back against corporate power and build a better, brighter future.
