Bestselling author of the Wheat Belly franchise brings his next
big, game changing idea - the human microbiome and the silent
epidemic of SIBO - to the mainstream. Dr Davis has connected the
dots between 'gut health' and many common, modern ailments and
complaints. 1 in 3 people have SIBO (small intestinal bacterial
overgrowth), which causes a long list of health issues and
illnesses; it is a silent and profound epidemic created by the
absence of microbial species that our ancestors had even 50-100
years ago, which have been erased by the industrialisation of food
and medicine. Super Gut shares a four-week plan to reprogram your
microbiome based on research and techniques that not only gets to
the root of many diseases but improves levels of oxytocin (the
bonding/happy hormone), brain health and promotes anti-aging and
weight loss. Dr Davis provides not just the science and case
studies but also more than 40 recipes and solutions. In Super Gut,
he ensures readers understand the science, diagnose their gut
issues, eradicate them and maintain their long-term health.
Renowned cardiologist William Davis explains how eliminating wheat
from our diets can prevent fat storage, shrink unsightly bulges and
reverse myriad health problems. Every day we eat food products made
of wheat. As a result millions of people experience some form of
adverse health effect, ranging from minor rashes and high blood
sugar to the unattractive stomach bulges that preventative
cardiologist William Davis calls 'wheat bellies'. According to
Davis, that fat has nothing to do with gluttony, sloth or too much
butter: it's down to the whole grain food products so many people
eat for breakfast, lunch and dinner. After witnessing over 2,000
patients regain their health after giving up wheat, Davis reached
the disturbing conclusion that wheat is the single largest
contributor to the nationwide obesity epidemic - and its
elimination is key to dramatic weight loss and optimal health. In
Wheat Belly Davis exposes the harmful effects of what is actually a
product of genetic tinkering being sold to the public as 'wheat'
and provides readers with a user-friendly, step-by-step plan to
navigate a new, wheat-free lifestyle. Benefits include: substantial
weight loss, correction of cholesterol abnormalities, relief from
arthritis, mood benefits and prevention of heart disease. Informed
by cutting-edge science and nutrition, and numerous case studies,
Wheat Belly is an illuminating look at what is truly making us
sick.

Samuel Beckett's Poetry is the first book-length study of Beckett's
complete poetry, designed for students and scholars of twentieth
century poetry and literature, as well as for specialists of
Beckett's work. This volume explores how poetry provided Beckett a
medium of expression during key moments in his life, from his
earliest attempts at securing a reputation as a published writer,
to the work of restoring his own speech while suffering aphasia
shortly before his death. Often these were moments of desperation
and discouragement, when more substantial works were not possible:
moments of illness, of personal loss or of public disaster. This
volume includes an introduction that contextualizes Beckett as a
poet and a chronology of the composition and publication of all his
known poems. Essays offer a range of critical perspectives, from
translation theory, war poetics and Irish Studies to Beckett's
debts to Modernism, Romanticism and the Jazz Age.
An exploration of the legacy of The Waste Land on the centenary of
its original publication, looking at the impact it had had upon
criticism and new poetries across one hundred years. T. S. Eliot
first published his long poem The Waste Land in 1922. The
revolutionary nature of the work was immediately recognised, and it
has subsequently been acknowledged as one of the most influential
poems of the twentieth century, and as crucial for the
understanding of modernism. The essays in this collection variously
reflect on The Waste Land one hundred years after its original
publication. At this centenary moment, the contributors both
celebrate the richness of the work, its sounds and rare use of
language, and also consider the poem's legacy in Britain, Ireland,
and India. The work here, by an international team of writers from
the UK, North America, and India, deploys a range of approaches.
Some contributors seek to re-read the poem itself in fresh and
original ways; others resist the established drift of previous
scholarship on the poem, and present new understandings of the
process of its development through its drafts, or as an
orchestration on the page. Several contributors question received
wisdom about the poem's immediate legacy in the decade after
publication, and about the impact that it has had upon criticism
and new poetries across the first century of its existence. An
Introduction to the volume contextualises the poem itself, and the
background to the essays. All pieces set out to review the nature
of our understanding of the poem, and to bring fresh eyes to its
brilliance, one hundred years on. Contributors: Rebecca Beasley,
Rosinka Chaudhuri, William Davies, Hugh Haughton, Marjorie Perloff,
Andrew Michael Roberts, Peter Robinson, Michael Wood.
Since 2016, the UK has been in a crisis of its own making: but this
is not the fault of Brexit but of a larger problem of our politics.
The status of political parties, the mainstream media, public
experts and officials have all been disrupted. Along the way, there
have been shocking and exhilarating events: the unforeseen 2017
election result, the horrific details of Grenfell Tower and the
Windrush scandal, the sudden rise and fall of the Brexit Party.As
the 'mainstream' of politics and media has come under attack, the
basic norms of public life have been thrown into question. This Is
Not Normal takes stock of a historical moment that no longer
recognises itself. Davies tells a story of the apparently chaotic
and irrational events, and extracts their underlying logic and
long-term causes. What we are seeing is the effects of the 2008
financial crash, the failure of the British neoliberal project, the
dying of Empire, and the impact of the changes that technology and
communications have had on the idea of the public sphere as well as
the power of information. This is an essential book for anyone who
wants to make sense of this current moment. .
PRAISE FOR HONORABLE DEFEAT
"No other writer has described the death agonies of the lost cause
with more authority, brought Breckinridge forward more
convincingly, or portrayed Davis's blind determination more clearly
than William C. Davis. Once again he has reminded us that American
history is not all black and white, or blue and gray--that,
especially within the doomed Confederacy, the shading of character
ran from nobility to absurdity."--Washington Post Book World
"A well-told story about the death of the Confederate States of
America . . . Davis describes it all with verve and authority, and
so lends order to what otherwise looks like a chaotic collapse.
Having written biographies of both Jefferson Davis and
Breckenridge, he knows his two principal players well, and a
marvelous supporting case of politicians and soldiers helps him to
fashion a story rich in pathos and humor."--The New York Times Book
Review
"William C. Davis uses [small incidents] to great effect in 'An
Honorable Defeat' . . . . Exciting. "--Wall Street Journal
"Davis tells his story in an open, accessible style, and his
action-filled narrative is irresistable. This is popular history at
its very best."--Seattle Post Intelligencer

One of the most iconic villains in the history of television, the
enigmatic Cigarette Smoking Man fascinated legions of fans of the
1990s' hit TV series, The X-Files. Best known as "Cancerman," he
was voted Television's Favourite Villain by the readers of TV
Guide. The man behind the villain, William B. Davis, is a Canadian
actor and director, whose revelations in this memoir will entertain
and intrigue the millions of X-Files aficionados worldwide. But
there is more to Davis's story than just The X-Files. Davis's
extensive acting experience began when he was a child in Ontario in
the 1950s, and grew to encompass radio, theatre, film, and
television. At the University of Toronto, where he graduated with a
degree in philosophy, he turned his hand to directing, a move that
took him to theatre school in Britain and a directing career.
There, he reconnected with his undergraduate colleague, Donald
Sutherland, and worked at the National Theatre, with such notables
as Sir Laurence Olivier, Dame Maggie Smith, and Albert Finney.
Those who love the theatre will delight in his recollections of the
Straw Hat Players in Ontario or the trials and tribulations of an
artistic director of repertory theatre in Dundee, Scotland, or his
valiant attempt to create a theatre in Quebec devoted to the
Canadian repertoire. Those who love history will relive with Davis
those "golden years" of Canadian radio drama and theatre, not to
mention enjoying an inside look at the National Theatre School of
Canada where he directed the English Acting Program in the '60s.
Those who love a bit of scandalous gossip will not be disappointed.
Written in an easy conversational style, this memoir truly is "The
Musings of the Cigarette Smoking Man" - as William B. Davis
reflects on his loves, his losses, his hopes, his fears, and his
accomplishments in this unique and engaging autobiography.
In July 2013, the UK government arranged for a van to drive through
parts of London carrying the message 'In the UK illegally? GO HOME
or face arrest.' This book tells the story of what happened next.
The vans were short-lived, but they were part of an ongoing trend
in government-sponsored communication designed to demonstrate
toughness on immigration. The authors set out to explore the
effects of such performances: on policy, on public debate, on
pro-migrant and anti-racist activism, and on the everyday lives of
people in Britain. This book presents their findings, and provides
insights into the practice of conducting research on such a charged
and sensitive topic. -- .
