While 4% of the population suffers from diagnosed lactose
intolerance, it is estimated that a staggering 50 million Americans
suffer from some degree of dairy intolerance/allergy. Moreover,
recent research has linked milk protein (casein) to cancer and
autoimmune illnesses and found evidence that our bodies quit making
the enzymes necessary to digest milk as we age--thus setting up
those who consume a dairy-rich diet for IBS, allergies and other
autoimmune and digestive difficulties. Dairy has become the "new
gluten"--something that people are realizing needs to be minimized
in our diet whether they have a formally diagnosed allergy or not.

How did an ancient spiritual practice become the preserve of the privileged?
Nadia Gilani has been practising yoga for twenty-five years. She has also worked as a yoga teacher. Yoga has saved her life and seen her through many highs and lows; it has been a faith, a discipline, and a friend, and she believes wholeheartedly in its radical potential. However, over her years in the wellness industry, Nadia has noticed not only yoga's rising popularity, but also how its modern incarnation no longer serves people of colour, working class people, or many other groups who originally pioneered its creation.
Combining her own memories of how the practice has helped her with an account of its history and transformation in the modern west, Nadia creates a love letter to yoga and a passionate critique of the billion-dollar industry whose cost and inaccessibility has shut out many of those it should be helping. By turns poignant, funny, and shocking, The Yoga Manifesto excavates where the industry has gone wrong, and what can be done to save the practice from its own success.
When Mimi first started jogging on a treadmill as an unfit
36-year-old mother-of-three, she never imagined she would go on to
become a World-Record-breaking ultrarunner. After coming to terms

begins to reassess her relationship with food and finds a new

building up to her biggest challenge yet: attempting to gain the

o'Groats to Land's End. This incredible story of how an ordinary
mum ran her way into the record books will inspire beginner runners
and die-hard marathon devotees alike, proving that, no matter where
