Arthur C. Clarke acquired his first science fiction magazine - a copy of Astounding Stories - in 1930, when he was 13. Immediately he became an avid reader and collector: and, soon enough, a would-be-writer. The rest is history. Now, in Astounding Days, he looks back over those impressed by him, discussing their scientific howlers, and their remarkable proportion of predictive bulls-eyes - and writing of his early life and career. Written with relaxed good humour, Astounding Days is full of fascinating comment and anecdote.

Astounding Days

From a fearless comic known for tackling uncomfortable topics, a revealing and subversive memoir that explores Bowers’ life from his difficult childhood in Georgia up to his rise in the LA comedy world &nbsp; Byron Bowers is often referred to as a Comics’ Comic. A veteran stand-up comedian and actor, he's known for gripping material covering spirituality, race, socioeconomics, gender roles—and for delivering a fair chunk of it unrehearsed and in the moment. But though his life today may seem promising, it wasn't always that way. After all, as Byron sees it, the best stand-ups spin comedy from their own perceptions of reality. and what better source material to mine than one's own struggles? Growing up as an&nbsp;illegitimate child in conservative Georgia, Byron was accustomed to instability, passed from parent to parent before eventually being taken in by his grandmother. While experiencing heavy bullying from children his community, he bussed into a white school and instantly became a target of racism. Meanwhile, trying to handle his father's diagnosis with paranoid-schizophrenia, for which he was institutionalized, and his subsequent drug addiction.&nbsp; Being left alone in the projects by his father, Byron realizing that the only person he could rely on was himself, Byron vowed to reshape his life—and get the hell out of Georgia.&nbsp; Willing to do whatever it took to make it out led to a basketball scholarship and set forth a new adventure—while also selling crack at a Christian university out of state. After being shot at and finding himself on the verge of either homicide or suicide, Byron stepped down as his college town's Second in Command and moved to Atlanta. Knowing business classes could foster a career in white-collar crime, he returned to college, becoming the first in his family to earn a degree. Upon graduation, Byron pursued stand-up comedy slowly moving up the ranks the Atlanta comedy scene due to his edginess. He decided to move to the West Coast to pursue comedy and became a regular performer at the hallowed Sunset Strip Comedy Store.&nbsp;From there, he evolved into a stand-out on the local stand-up scene, was the surprise winner of a strategic comedy competition, and even landed himself a few television credits—finally&nbsp;poised on the cusp of achieving success on his own terms. Beyond the Promised Land&nbsp;dismisses the conventional wisdom that reality’s rules can’t be rewritten. Ultimately, Byron's is a story that educates, enlightens, and inspires anyone who refuses to let adversity stand in the way of not only their dreams, but finding peace along the way. &nbsp;

Only Say Good Things

'A life-changing book' Viv Groskop Marisa Meltzer was put on her first diet aged five: it was the beginning of a fraught relationship with food. Jean Nidetch was a housewife from Queens who defiantly lost 70 pounds after she was mistaken for being pregnant. Taking everything she learned from this experience, in 1963 she founded Weight Watchers, a company that has shaped decades of diet culture. When Marisa reads Jean's obituary, she feels a moment of intense connection. Curious about the woman and her legacy, she signs up for a year of Weight Watchers; counting points, weighing in and listening to her fellow members struggle with their bodies. This is Big is a biography of an idiosyncratic entrepreneur whose impact is still felt strongly today. It is a history of dieting and body politics for anyone who has agonised over their weight or defiantly tried not to do so. And it is Marisa's funny and thoughtful journey towards a different way to live in the world. 'This is the anti-diet book I've been waiting for' Daisy Buchanan
