Rebel Bodies
An inclusive and empowering manifesto for change in women's healthcare – exploring the systemic and deep rooted sexism within medicine, and offering actionable ways for women to advocate for ourselves and others and get the diagnosis and treatment we need.
Have you ever been to a doctor and felt like you were being fobbed off or ignored? Did they belittle or overlook your concerns about your health? Ever been told you're just 'hormonal'? You're not alone.
Women make up 51 per cent of the population and are the biggest users of healthcare services – for themselves and as mothers and carers. But all the research shows there are massive gender differences in men's and women's healthcare. Our pain and suffering has been disbelieved; we are misdiagnosed, given tranquilisers when we need painkillers, antidepressants when we need HRT, and not trusted to make informed choices about our own bodies.
As women speak out about their experiences of gaslighting and misdiagnosis, health journalist Sarah Graham investigates what it will take to bridge the gender health gap. Meet the patients, doctors and campaigners who are standing up and fighting back, and find practical tips on advocating for your own health. Be inspired by stories that will incite and offer hope.
You're not alone, you're not going mad, and we believe you.

Lightlark
#BookTok phenomenon and award-winning author Alex Aster delivers readers a masterfully written, utterly gripping YA fantasy novel
Welcome to the Centennial.
Every 100 years, the island of Lightlark appears to host the Centennial, a deadly game that only the rulers of six realms are invited to play. The invitation is a summons—a call to embrace victory and ruin, baubles and blood. The Centennial offers the six rulers one final chance to break the curses that have plagued their realms for centuries. Each ruler has something to hide. Each realm’s curse is uniquely wicked. To destroy the curses, one ruler must die.
Isla Crown is the young ruler of Wildling—a realm of temptresses cursed to kill anyone they fall in love with. They are feared and despised, and are counting on Isla to end their suffering by succeeding at the Centennial.
To survive, Isla must lie, cheat, and betray…even as love complicates everything.
Filled with secrets, deception, romance, and twists worthy of the darkest thrillers, Lightlark is a must-read for fans of legendary fantasy writers Marie Lu, Marissa Meyer, and Leigh Bardugo.
Galápagos
Három különböző válság egyszerre zúdul az emberiségre. A petesejtfaló baktérium megakadályozza, hogy a nők kisbabákat szülhessenek. A gazdasági világválság hatására pénzért többé nem kapható táplálék. Továbbá kitör a világháború. Az emberiség elpusztul.
Tíz túlélő sodródik a messzi Galápagos-szigetek felé. A hajó afféle második Noé bárkája. Génbank. A gyagyás Kapitány és a hat kannibál süldőlány távoli leszármazottai áramvonalas, fókaszerű, halfogó ragadozók. Fő feladatuk a fajfenntartás. Agyuk összetöpörödik, nehogy tovább kínozza a lelkeket a sok veszedelmes fantazmagória.
Vonnegut keservesen mulatságos és bölcs utópiájában az emberi lények végre egyetlen boldog, békés és összetartó nagycsaláddá szerveződnek. Nagy árat fizetnek, de jó üzletet kötnek.
Madonna
Madonna ?több mint popsztár. Amióta az 1980-as évek elején színre lépett, folyamatosan borzolja a kedélyeket, sorra dönti a tabukat, kísérletezik a legkülönfélébb műfajokkal és minden alkotásában megújul. Táncos, énekes, színész, zeneszerző, filmrendező, stílusikon, politikai és melegjogi aktivista, szókimondó feminista. Nem véletlenül nevezte Beyoncé az anyakirálynőnek: generációk ízlését és világlátását befolyásolta, nők millióinak tanította meg, hogyan vállalják fel a vágyaikat és a véleményüket.
Mary Gabriel lebilincselő memoárjában korunk egyik, ha nem a legnagyobb női bálványának életútját mutatja be a detroiti évektől a szupersztárrá válásig. A könyvet – amelynek megírását ötéves kutatómunka előzte meg – különösen izgalmassá teszi, hogy a szerző Madonna karrierjét nem popzenei vákuumban ábrázolja. Betekintést kapunk a különböző szubkultúrákba és azokba a társadalmi változásokba is, amelyek befolyásolták Madonna életszemléletét, alakították a személyiségét és meghatározták a kreativitását. Hogy aztán azzá a művésszé váljon, aki máig ható változásokat indított el a világban. Mert Madonna több mint popsztár.

Chevengur
The Soviet Don Quixote, Chevengur is now seen by many Russian writers as Russia's greatest novel of the last century. This is the first English version to convey its subtlety and depth.
Zakhar Pavlovich comes from a world of traditional crafts to work as a train mechanic, motivated by his belief in the transformative power of industry. His adopted son, Sasha Dvanov, embraces revolution, which will transform everything: the words we speak and the lives we live, souls and bodies, the soil underfoot and the sun overhead.
Seeking communism, Dvanov joins up with Stepan Kopionkin, a warrior for the cause whose steed is the fearsome cart horse Strength of the Proletariat. Together they cross the steppe, meeting counter-revolutionaries, desperados and visionaries of all kinds. At last they reach the isolated town of Chevengur. There communism is believed to have been achieved because everything that is not communism has been eliminated. And yet even in Chevengur the revolution recedes from sight.
Comic, ironic, grotesque, disturbingly poetic in its use of language and profoundly sorrowful, Chevengur is a revolutionary novel about revolutionary ardour and despair. Unpublished during Andrey Platonov's life, it is now one of the most celebrated Russian novels, and the most ambitious and moving of Platonov's recreations of a world undergoing revolutionary transformation.

The Carbon Almanac
When it comes to the climate, we don't need more marketing or anxiety. We need established facts and a plan for collective action.
The climate is the fundamental issue of our time, yet it seems we can barely agree on what is really going on, let alone what needs to be done. We urgently need facts, not opinions. Insights, not statistics.
The Carbon Almanac is a once-in-a-lifetime collaboration between hundreds of writers, researchers, thinkers, and leaders that focuses on what we know, what has come before, and what might happen next. With thousands of data points, articles and charts explaining carbon's impact on everything in our society, from our the economy to extreme weather events, it is the definitive source for facts and the basis for a global movement to fight climate change.
This book isn't what the oil companies, marketers, activists, or politicians want you to believe. This is what's really happening, right now. Our planet is in trouble, and no one concerned group, corporation, country, or hemisphere can
address this on its own. We are in this together. And it's not too late for concerted, collective action for change.
