'Full of wisdom and insight ... I cannot recommend it enough' Julia
Samuel 'Brilliant' Katy Hessel 'Fascinating ... a valuable
contribution to a wider debate about how women are permitted to own
and express their desires' Guardian From a young bride-to-be
struggling to accept her sexuality, to a mother grappling with
questions of identity and belonging, and a pensioner falling in
love for the first time, What Women Want is an enthralling and
deeply intimate examination of womanhood. With empathy and bravery,
psychotherapist Maxine Mei-Fung Chung delves into what makes us who
we are. Through her conversations with her patients, she lays bare
our fears, our secrets, our wants, and ultimately, our capacity for
healing. To desire is an action. This extraordinary book liberates
and empowers us to claim what we truly want.
We are in the midst of an obesity epidemic, but despite being
inundated with diet advice we are only getting fatter. We count
calories and exercise regularly, yet still the pounds won't budge.
Why? In this highly readable and provocative book, Dr Jason Fung
sets out a groundbreaking new theory: that obesity is caused by our
hormones, rather than a lack of self-control. He reveals that
overproduction of insulin in the body is the root cause of obesity
and obesity-related illnesses including type 2 diabetes, and offers
robust scientific evidence that reversing insulin resistance is the
only way to lose weight in the long term. It turns out that when we
eat is just as important as what we eat, so in addition to his five
basic steps - a set of life-long eating habits that will improve
your health and control your insulin levels - Dr Fung explains how
to use intermittent fasting to break the cycle of insulin
resistance and reach a healthy weight - for good.
Author of the international bestsellers The Diabetes Code and The
Obesity Code Dr. Jason Fung returns with an eye-opening biography
of cancer in which he offers a radical new paradigm for
understanding cancer--and issues a call to action for reducing risk
moving forward. Our understanding of cancer is slowly undergoing a
revolution, allowing for the development of more effective
treatments. For the first time ever, the death rate from cancer is
showing a steady decline . . . but the "War on Cancer" has hardly
been won. In The Cancer Code, Dr. Jason Fung offers a revolutionary
new understanding of this invasive, often fatal disease--what it
is, how it manifests, and why it is so challenging to treat. In
this rousing narrative, Dr. Fung identifies the medical community's
many missteps in cancer research--in particular, its focus on
genetics, or what he terms the "seed" of cancer, at the expense of
examining the "soil," or the conditions under which cancer
flourishes. Dr. Fung--whose groundbreaking work in the treatment of
obesity and diabetes has won him international acclaim--suggests
that the primary disease pathway of cancer is caused by the
dysregulation of insulin. In fact, obesity and type 2 diabetes
significantly increase an individual's risk of cancer. In this
accessible read, Dr. Fung provides a new paradigm for dealing with
cancer, with recommendations for what we can do to create a hostile
soil for this dangerous seed. One such strategy is intermittent
fasting, which reduces blood glucose, lowering insulin levels.
Another, eliminating intake of insulin-stimulating foods, such as
sugar and refined carbohydrates. For hundreds of years, cancer has
been portrayed as a foreign invader we've been powerless to stop.
By reshaping our view of cancer as an internal uprising of our own
healthy cells, we can begin to take back control. The seed of
cancer may exist in all of us, but the power to change the soil is
in our hands.

A Psychoanalytic Approach to Smoking Cessation: The Cigarette as a
Transitional Object provides an accessible understanding to the
unconscious motive behind smoking addiction using Winnicott’s
concept of the transitional object. The book is divided
thematically into six parts. Ko begins by outlining the conscious
motives for smoking from a psychological perspective and looks at
commercial research conducted by the tobacco industry, before using
psychoanalytically informed cross-disciplinary literature to assess
the unconscious motives for smoking. She expertly introduces
Winnicott’s view on smoking addiction, using his concept of the
transitional object, and highlights the power of the Free
Association Narrative Interview method in accessing the unconscious
and embedded emotional experiences. Using clinical examples, she
illustrates the benefits of this method as a tool to elicit free
associations from research respondents. She details the parallels
between the individual respondents’ smoking experience, as well
as their relationship with cigarettes and the seven qualities of
transitional objects outlined by Winnicott in his 1953 landmark
paper. Ko concludes by emphasising the significance and
implications of this thesis to smokers and public health policy, as
well as the smoking cessation approach and proposed directions for
future research. This book is an essential resource for
psychoanalysts and psychotherapists working in smoking cessation
organisations, as well as those working in addiction services.

This book studies the extent to which nuclear safety issues have
contributed towards the stagnation of nuclear power development
around the world, and accounts for differences in safety
regulations in different countries. In order to understand why
nuclear development has not met widespread expectations, this book
focusses on six key countries with active nuclear power programmes:
the USA, China, France, South Korea, the UK, and Russia. The
authors integrate cultural theory and theory of regulation, and
examine the links between pressures of cultural bias on regulatory
outcomes and political pressures which have led to increased safety
requirements and subsequent economic costs. They discover that
although nuclear safety is an important upward driver of costs in
the nuclear power industry, this is influenced by the inherent need
to control potentially dangerous reactions rather than stricter
nuclear safety standards. The findings reveal that differences in
the strictness of nuclear safety regulations between different
countries can be understood by understanding differences in
cultural contexts and the changes in this over time. This book will
be of great interest to students, scholars, and policymakers
working on energy policy and regulation, environmental politics and
policy, and environment and sustainability more generally.

Yan Lianke is one of the most important, prolific, and
controversial writers in contemporary China. At the forefront of
the "mythorealist" Chinese avant-garde and using absurdist humor
and grotesque satire, Yan's works have caught much critical
attention not only in the Chinese mainland, Hong Kong, and Taiwan
but also around the world. His critiques of modern China under both
Mao-era socialism and contemporary capitalism draw on a deep
knowledge of history, folklore, and spirituality. This companion
presents a collection of critical essays by leading scholars of Yan
Lianke from around the world, organized into some of the key themes
of his work: Mythorealism; Absurdity and Spirituality; and History
and Gender, as well as the challenges of translating his work into
English and other languages. With an essay written by Yan Lianke
himself, this is a vital and authoritative resource for students
and scholars looking to understand Yan's works from both his own
perspective and those of leading critics.
