'A new Lucy Diamond book is one of the happiest highlights of my calendar' - Katie Fforde It's a beautiful day in Manchester and four friends are meeting for a birthday lunch. But then they witness a shocking accident just metres away, which acts as a catalyst for each of them. For Laura, it's a wake-up call to heed the ticking of her biological clock. Sensible Jo finds herself throwing caution to the wind in a new relationship. Eve, who has been trying to ignore the worrying lump in her breast, feels helpless and out of control. And happy-go-lucky India is drawn to one of the victims of the accident, causing long-buried secrets to rise to the surface. On a Beautiful Day is a novel about the startling and unexpected turns life can take. It's about luck - good and bad - and about finding bravery and resilience when your world is in turmoil. Above all, it's about friendship, togetherness and hope. Praise for Lucy Diamond: 'You can feel the warmth lifting from the pages as you turn them' - Milly Johnson 'A hugely satisfying read' - Heat 'Warm, witty and wise' - Daily Mail

On a Beautiful Day

Modern life is speeding up, constantly. While the art of saving time reaches unprecedented heights through the introduction of ever-new technologies of communication and production, it nevertheless feels as though we are running out of time. In all Western societies, time scarcity is increasing and individuals report the impression of having to run faster and faster every year - not in order to get somewhere, but just to stay where they are. In this short book Hartmut Rosa outlines his theory of social acceleration and uses it to analyze the causes and consequences of the temporal processes that characterize modern societies. He shows that modern temporal structures are governed by the logic of an acceleration process that defines the essence of modernity. He also develops a critical theory of social acceleration, arguing that acceleration leads to severe forms of alienation from time and space, from things and actions and from self and others, thus constituting a key obstacle to the realization of a 'good life' in late-modern society.

"If you want to understand how the latest advances in genomics and AI can completely transform your health, and to translate this promise into practical tools that you can apply today, read this book!"-Mark Hyman, author of Young Forever¿ "A must-read for understanding the new era of data-driven medicine." -David Agus, New York Times bestselling author of The End of Illness¿ We are on the cusp of a major transformation in healthcare-yet few people know it. At top hospitals and a few innovative health-tech startups, scientists are working closely with patients to dramatically extend their "healthspan," the number of healthy years before disease sets in. In The Age of Scientific Wellness, two visionary leaders of this revolution in health take us on a thrilling journey to the new frontier of medicine.¿Leroy Hood and Nathan Price argue that we must move beyond today's reactive, hit-or-miss approach to usher in a form of highly personalized care they call "scientific wellness." Using information gleaned from our blood and genes and tapping into the data revolution made possible by AI, doctors can catch the onset of disease years before symptoms arise, with startling results: diabetes reversed, cancers eliminated, Alzheimer's avoided, and autoimmune conditions kept at bay.¿ It's time to make this gold standard of care more widely available. Inspiring in its possibilities, radical in its conclusions, The Age of Scientific Wellness shares actionable insights to help you chart a course to a longer, healthier, and more fulfilling life.

Why the Future of Medicine Is Personalized, Predictive, Data-Rich, and in Your Hands

The Age of Scientific Wellness

A 2,500-year history of international currencies that reveals new insights about the future of the U.S. dollar—as well as crypto and central bank digital currencies Doubts about the international dominance of the dollar are only growing amid worries about tariffs, political dysfunction, and fraying international alliances. Will the dollar continue to reign supreme? In Money Beyond Borders, the leading authority on international currencies, Barry Eichengreen, puts the dollar’s prospects in deep historical perspective by chronicling the entire history of cross-border currencies, from the invention of coins in the seventh century BCE to the cryptocurrencies of today and the central bank digital currencies of tomorrow. Money Beyond Borders recounts how Greek and Roman coins became the first true international currencies. It tells how the Florentine gold florin became the “greenback of the Renaissance,” and how it was succeeded by Spanish silver and a Dutch fiat currency. The book explains why the British pound dominated the international economy in the nineteenth century, why the dollar rose to the top during World War II, and why the dollar has survived predictions of the imminent loss of its preeminence since the 1970s. The long history of international currencies shows that the same factors that encourage their widespread use eventually lead to their abandonment. Money Beyond Borders makes a powerful case that the dollar is now on the downside of this cycle, and it considers who the winners and losers will be when there is flight away from the greenback. Revealing important patterns in the life cycles of international currencies over the past 2,500 years, the book offers valuable lessons and insights about how currencies rise—and why they fall.

Money Beyond Borders

John Maynard Keynes’s General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money revolutionized economics. But it can be dense and cryptic, an intimidating work for the uninitiated. This companion volume approaches the argument methodically and with clarity, explaining obscure terms and breaking down Keynes’s ideas and their significance for his time and ours. Award-winning economist and author Geoff Mann allows readers to comprehend why the word "Keynesian" has become so contentious today — and so important.

This edited volume argues for multidimensional, policy-relevant measures of well-being beyond GDP, integrating economic, social and environmental dimensions to guide sustainable development at regional and local levels.

Progress does not happen only by chance and is not forever: it should be sustainable and directed towards the search for possible happiness, avoiding developing societies from the exclusive side of economic growth. Realistically, each of these dimensions is important in defining individual and collective well-being, in which all these aspects should coexist in a truly balanced and sustainable development path at the local scale. An approach measuring well-being, and possibly, sustainable development, based solely on the economic sphere, is reductive and misleading as a policy-relevant tool. The complexity of the argument at stake requires refined approaches and more elaborate measures - than simple gross domestic product (GDP). 
Chapter 1 elaborates theoretically and practically on such assumptions and consists of two parts. In the first part, the theme of sustainability and the problem of analytically quantifying the well-being are treated from a theoretical and quantitative point of view, and in the second one, which is of more technical nature, official data and statistics are integrated with literature reviews, case studies and narratives of complex economic, social and environmental processes involving well-being, sustainability and local development paths, beyond the limitations found in the GDP indicator. The discussion of the limits of GDP as a measure of well-being (chapter 2) is followed by a review of the main alternative indicators available in the literature, highlighting their strengths and weaknesses, and the paths of development of the research in the sector (chapters 3-6). Indicators connected to individuals' aspects of the quality of life appear as particularly relevant tools when measuring the level and advances in any sustainable development path, as they are aimed at measuring the political stability and the degree of freedom of a country (political indicators), the level and intensity of economic growth (economic indicators), the level of environmental pollution (environmental indicators) and the health development of a country (social indicators). 
Our analysis addresses this issue by considering an advanced economy investigated in independent spatial aggregates and proposing a targeted elaboration at the level of homogeneous geographical areas, to capture specialisations and territorial peculiarities that would otherwise be latent. It is possible to conceive truly sustainable economic policies relying only on instruments and indicators involving multiple dimensions, in turn promoting quality of life. Moreover, applications of this perspective at regional and local levels are important, as territories are the collecting agents guaranteeing and promoting processes of supra-individual utility, for example, environment quality or social cohesion. These institutions are responsible for the important role of outlining specific development policies for communities and the sustainable paths to be undertaken, with the aim of increasing the effective well-being of individuals. Following these assumptions, and on the basis of recent developments in the academic literature, this edited book debates extensively on these topics, offering an updated theoretical ground and pragmatic examples delineating an operational and coordinated evaluation of well-being that integrates the economic dimension with the environmental and social ones, thus assuring a more complete interpretation of complex (local) development paths.

'A reassuring manifesto on the role of women today' - Dawn O'Porter 'This book&nbsp;- and Cat Sims generally - helps me to breathe a bit easier. My shoulders drop, my jaw relaxes, and I know everything is going to be OK.' - Bryony Gordon 'The kind of book that makes you want to high five the author.' - Cherry Healey'The only book you need to save mind, body, life, soul and marriage. Just. Could. Not. Put. Down.' - Anna Whitehouse The mental load isn't just about doing all the stuff. The mental load is constantly thinking about having to do all the stuff, and then, when you forget to do some of the stuff, the mental load is also about beating yourself up about that, while still trying to keep in mind all the other stuff you've got to do. In The Mental Load Diaries, writer, content creator, podcaster, wife and mum Cat Sims describes the devastating impact the mental load had on her own happiness, mental health and marriage.&nbsp; With eye-opening honesty and her trademark dry humour, Cat offers a blunt but ultimately hopeful appraisal of society and women's experience of it.&nbsp; This necessary book will incite honest conversation, make you feel less alone and give you the confidence to invite your loved ones to share the mental load.

The Mental Load Diaries

Krisenhafte Zeiten - Zeiten der Gefährdung und der Veränderung: Krisen stellen sowohl auf gesellschaftlicher als auch auf individueller Ebene Herausforderungen dar und stoßen Prozesse der Neu- und Umorientierung an. In besonderem Maße stellt sich dabei die Frage nach Solidarität und Demokratie: Gemeinsame Probleme müssen kollektiv bearbeitet oder individuelle Interessen zum Schutz anderer zuru¿ckgestellt werden. Welche Rolle hat Solidarität in der Krise? Befindet sich Solidarität selbst in der Krise? Welche Voraussetzungen sind fu¿r eine solidarische Praxis aus einer sozialarbeiterischen Perspektive nötig? Die Beiträge gehen den Herausforderungen für Individuen und Gesellschaft anhand von internationalen Beispielen nach und sammeln Lösungsansätze.

ONE OF THE NEW YORK TIMES AND THE ATLANTIC’S TEN BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR • ONE OF BARACK OBAMA’S FAVORITE BOOKS OF THE YEAR • Through the “revelatory and gut-wrenching” (Associated Press) stories of five Atlanta families, this landmark work of journalism exposes a new and troubling trend—the dramatic rise of the working homeless in cities across America. “An exceptional feat of reporting, full of an immediacy that calls to mind Adrian Nicole LeBlanc’s Random Family and Matthew Desmond’s Evicted.”—The New York Times Book Review (Editors’ Choice) FINALIST FOR THE ANDREW CARNEGIE MEDAL, THE LOS ANGELES TIMES BOOK PRIZE, AND THE BERNSTEIN AWARD • A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR: NPR, The Washington Post, Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Elle, New America, BookPage, Shelf Awareness The working homeless. In a country where hard work and determination are supposed to lead to success, there is something scandalous about this phrase. But skyrocketing rents, low wages, and a lack of tenant rights have produced a startling phenomenon: People with full-time jobs cannot keep a roof over their head, especially in America’s booming cities, where rapid growth is leading to catastrophic displacement. These families are being forced into homelessness not by a failing economy but a thriving one. In this gripping and deeply reported book, Brian Goldstone plunges readers into the lives of five Atlanta families struggling to remain housed in a gentrifying, increasingly unequal city. Maurice and Natalia make a fresh start in the country’s “Black Mecca” after being priced out of DC. Kara dreams of starting her own cleaning business while mopping floors at a public hospital. Britt scores a coveted housing voucher. Michelle is in school to become a social worker. Celeste toils at her warehouse job while undergoing treatment for ovarian cancer. Each of them aspires to provide a decent life for their children—and each of them, one by one, joins the ranks of the nation’s working homeless. Through intimate, novelistic portraits, Goldstone reveals the human cost of this crisis, following parents and their kids as they go to sleep in cars, or in squalid extended-stay hotel rooms, and head out to their jobs and schools the next morning. These are the nation’s hidden homeless—omitted from official statistics, and proof that overflowing shelters and street encampments are only the most visible manifestation of a far more pervasive problem. By turns heartbreaking and urgent, There Is No Place for Us illuminates the true magnitude, causes, and consequences of the new American homelessness—and shows that it won’t be solved until housing is treated as a fundamental human right.
