Life Is Rosi

A Time of Loss

"The engineer known as the "space mechanic" speaks to both our future and past in this breathless memoir of his journey from Ecuador to NASA and beyond. Elio Morillo's life is abruptly spun out of orbit when economic collapse and personal circumstances compel his mother to flee Ecuador for the United States in search of a better future for her son. His itinerant childhood sets into motion a migration that will ultimately carry Elio to the farthest expanse of human endeavor: space. Overcoming a history of systemic adversity and inequality in public education, Elio forged ahead on a journey as indebted to his galactic dreams as to a loving mother whose sacrifices safeguarded the ground beneath his feet. Today, Elio is helping drive human expansion into the solar system and promote the future of human innovation-from AI and robotics to space infrastructure and equitable access. The Boy Who Reached the Stars is both a cosmic and intimate memoir spun from a constellation of memories, reflections, and intrepid curiosity, as thoroughly luminous as the stars above"--

A Memoir

The Boy Who Reached for the Stars

Out of the cocaine-fuelled, rock'n'roll debauchery of the 1970s came an iconic collaboration between an influential rocker and a visionary filmmaker. From The Last Waltz to The Wolf of Wall Street and The Irishman, the creative legacy of Robbie Robertson and Martin Scorcese has spanned decades. Filled with high octane exploits, bacchanalian parties and untold amounts of debauchery, this is the intimate and unvarnished behind-the-scenes story of a partnership that has shaped American culture like no other. PRAISE FOR TESTIMONY 'A book of memories and wonders, a personal testament of a magical time in American music from someone who was there, at the center of it all . . . Robbie brings you along with him, keeps you right by his side first to last, just the way his songs do, drawing you close, spellbound by his easy sorcery. You can feel the music in every word' Martin Scorsese 'Robust, wry, gritty and wise' Wall Street Journal 'Confident and well oiled. At times it has the mythic sweep of an early Terrence Malick movie' New York Times 'Captivating... this is essential reading' Rolling Stone 'Robertson is an immensely capable storyteller and a keen observer' New Yorker

No sex. No kids. No future? When Tom Feiling moved to Tokyo as a student in the early nineties, Japan was a beacon of the future: a rising superpower, a technology giant, a global symbol of prosperity, civility and success. When he returned twenty-four years later, the country was still a sign of things to come-but, he began to realize, it was no longer a beacon. It was a warning. This is a unique account of contemporary Japan, which travels from the quiet of its furthest flung villages to the aspiration and dynamism of its cities. It tells the story of how, from the mid-seventies onwards, Japanese society unknowingly embarked on a vast, silent process of transformation that is still unfolding today. It is still peaceful; it is still prosperous. But the Japanese population is dwindling at an alarming rate. As things stand, Japan's populace will shrink by a third with each new generation; by 2070 it will have lost the equivalent of the entire population outside of Tokyo, Osaka and Nagoya. Travelling through shrines and bars, rice fields and mango farms, coffee shops and old peoples' homes, Feiling meets with those affected by, and driving, this transformation. Through countless interviews and extensive research, he weaves together a powerful account of how and why men and women are ceasing to pair off and have kids. He reveals how sexual appetites and behaviours are both shaped by, and reshaping the evolving economy, and he considers both the dangers and the opportunities of the rise in solo living in Japan-and beyond. For although this is a Japanese story, it will soon be playing out all around the world. A low birth rate, an ageing society, and a shrinking population are visible everywhere from Spain to South Korea. Japan is simply further down the line. So this really is a journey to the future: sex robots and herbivorous men are now Japanese phenomena, but they may soon be coming for us all.

A New York Times Notable Book 'It is impossible to read Autobiography of a Face without having your consciousness raised forever' Mirabella 'Both book and life are unforgettable' New York Times At age nine, Lucy Grealy was diagnosed with a potentially terminal cancer. When she returned to school with a third of her jaw removed, she faced the cruel taunts of classmates. It took her twenty years of living with a distorted self-image and more than thirty years of reconstructive procedures before she could come to terms with her appearance. In this lyrical and strikingly candid memoir, Grealy tells her story of great suffering and remarkable strength without sentimentality and with considerable wit. She captures what it is like as a child and a young adult to be torn between two warring impulses: to feel that more than anything else we want to be loved for who we are, while wishing desperately and secretly to be perfect.

Lifeboat at the End of the World

In 2018, India Sturgis - successful journalist, mother and wife - was admitted into the Priory hospital with anxiety so crippling she was deemed a risk to herself. On her slow journey back to herself, it became clear to her that anxiety doesn't discriminate, anyone can suffer from it regardless of external circumstances - but anyone can learn to cope with it too. On her personal journey to uncover the coping strategies that work, India tried every imaginable avenue: antidepressants, benzodiazepines, psychotherapy, group therapy, art therapy, drama therapy, CBT, aromatherapy, mindfulness, meditation, hypnosis, EFT, talking therapy, cranial electrotherapy stimulation, neurofeedback, photobiomodulation, supplements, changing her diet, yoga, cold water swimming and more. She combines this personal exploration with the latest medical and lifestyle thinking from world leading experts to produce a clear-sighted, comprehensive and - ultimately - human look at anxiety. This is what it's like to be in the grip of chronic anxiety - and come out the other side.
