The ultimate handbook for everyday health WHAT CAN YOU CHANGE
TODAY, AND NOT PUT OFF UNTIL TOMORROW? Dr Alex is on a mission to
empower us to make our own health choices, take positive control
and feel equipped and inspired to make those small changes today
that energise and future-proof for life. "Health and happiness come
from the cumulative effects of many small and positive daily
changes to our lifestyle. It's about building sustainable and
healthy habits - taking small and purposeful steps to a healthy
future. By the end of the book I hope my readers have developed
their own 'bespoke health toolkit' to be used across every aspect
of their lives, and to make long-lasting and meaningful change."
What you do consistently has a direct impact on your day-to-day
health, your immune system, your mental health, your metabolism,
your bone density, your heart health, your blood pressure, your
energy levels and how you fight disease generally. Your lifestyle
is often your body's biggest support system and the more robust you
can make that, the more you can rely on it to get you through.
Think of it like your life insurance policy. With detailed sections
dedicated to informing us on how our mental health can impact our
physical health, and what we can change in our day-to-day lifestyle
choices to combat this, The Mind Manual is a must have toolkit for
anyone looking to take their first steps towards a brighter,
healthier and happier future.
Wonderful You is a funny, poignant story about the disintegration
and salvation of a modern marriage, and the pressures of trying to
have it all. Sometimes life has a way of not working out quite the
way you planned. Andrew Shaw's childhood ambition did not involve
discussing the best way to give a red setter a makeover on daytime
television. Coming home in the evening to virtual strangers, Andrew
realises that his children are growing up without him. Desperate to
reach out to his family, but unsure how to start, his life seems to
be slipping away from him. Catherine Shaw made the impossible
choice between her children and her career. At work she could
handle the deadlines, the pressure and the endless demands without
pausing for breath. So why is she finding it so hard to coax a
truculent toddler into pyjamas and remember which stuffed toy is
the one called Duncan? Under pressure to be the perfect wife and
mother, yet feeling that she is failing at both, Catherine begins
to search for new meaning in her life. Trapped in their marriage,
their lives and their lies, Andrew and Catherine begin to realise
that the answer to all their problems could be right in front of
them. Wonderful You is a touching, witty and hopeful story about
change, reconciliation and realising that everything you want might
be everything you already have.
New Man: Remember him? Didn't think so. Simon Teller is the last of
a dying breed. He's such a New Man he's sparkling. Struggling
magician, gourmet cook, and jazz freak, he's been doing
Conversation and Quiche for as long as he can remember, but he's so
sensitive that all he's managed to conjure up is a number of
awkward crushes and infatuations. And now the women are staying
away in droves. Enter stage left Joe, the Houdini of the casual sex
scene and the man who, in the cause of true friendship, is
determined to show Simon how to pull women as easily as he pulls
rabbits out of hats. Under Joe's expert tutelage, and armed with an
array of cynical - and secondhand - seduction techniques, Simon
embarks on a radically different approach to dating. The results
are disastrous. A number of close encounters of a very peculiar
kind with desperate divorcees, nymphomaniac Canadians, and
alcoholic doctors leave Simon wondering if the beautiful American
magician Alex might be different... A comedy about love, friendship
and magic, and about how, sometimes, the trick is to see what's
before your very eyes.
Watch out Bridget Jones and Ally McBeal -- Johnathan Burlip wants
you to know his side of the story For Johnathan Burlip, solicitor
and virtuoso shirt ironer, nothing is ever simple. Girlfriends,
dysfunctional families, petulant bosses -- all cause him grief and
confusion. Marooned in modern London, Johnathan finds himself
rudely ejected from the comfortable life of corporate lawyer,
leaving him spinning out of control towards an undistinguished
legal career in Finsbury Park, where the clientele and professional
challenges are somewhat different. While he participates in a love
story for our times, Johnathan is tormented on his journey by a
chorus of politically correct parents, well-manicured mobsters, a
bionic hamster and a cat with only one (curtailed) life.
A funny, sad, truthful novel about men, women and all that jazz
Matthew Moore is madly in love. He's one of the lucky ones: after
thirteen years, he still idolises Anna, his wife. What's more, his
first novel is about to be published. Life could not be better. So
why can't he just enjoy it? 'Here's the thing: Anna has changed.
It's nothing big. She hasn't grown horns. But there's a little
green dot flashing angrily on my screen, telling me there's
something out there…' Neither his beloved Duke Ellington records
nor his saxophone can distract Matthew from the relentless nudge of
his obsession. And so he begins to spy on his wife, until a chance
discovery sends his worries spiralling out of control. As he
pursues Anna from the streets of Camden to the boulevards of Paris,
Matthew is caught in a vortex of jealousy which culminates in an
unforgettable climax beneath the family Christmas tree. Hilarious
and devastating, Love You Madly is about having everything you ever
wanted – and having everything to lose.

Already frustrated with the socialism that is seeping into their
lives, Adam and his wife Allie are forced to deal with a
newly-established health care system that threatens to take from
them what they cherish the most. In another part of the world, Roy,
an army sergeant fed up with the corruption in Washington, is
fighting for America's freedom. At the same time, far away in his
ivory tower, the president is fashioning socialist policies that
threaten the American way of life. This is the world of Alex
George's "Revolt Rising." Told in a style that is immediate and
heart-wrenching, "Revolt Rising" follows the story of average
citizens who are desperately trying to keep their eyes on the
American dream. As it seems to pull further away from them, they
find themselves raging against the leaders of the very nation they
love so dearly. Rage eventually turns to revolt. After banding
together with like-minded men, Adam and his army of freedom
fighters find themselves in the heart of a battle that will
determine America's future. What will the outcome be? George will
keep you guessing (and hoping) to the very last page.

Latin is one of two acceptable languages for describing new plants,
and taxonomists must be able to translate earlier texts in Latin.
Providing a simple explanation of Latin grammar along with an
in-depth vocabulary, this is an indispensable guide for systematic
botanists worldwide. All relevant parts of speech are discussed,
with accompanying examples as well as worked exercises for
translating diagnoses and descriptions to and from Latin.
Guidelines for forming specific epithets are also included. The
authors cross-reference their grammar to Stearn's Botanical Latin
and to articles in the International Code of Nomenclature for
Algae, Fungi and Plants. The comprehensive vocabulary is enhanced
with terms from recent glossaries for non-flowering plants -
lichens, mosses, algae, fungi and ferns - making this an ideal
resource for anyone looking to hone their understanding of Latin
grammar and to translate botanical texts from the past 300 years.
