Age Less
THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER'AMAZING.' NANA AKUA, GB NEWS'A perfect combination of candid personal insight and scientific research, this highly readable guide covers it all, from cigarettes to jumping jacks...' Dr Flaminia Ronca When journalist Sandra Parsons suffered a serious back injury in her mid-40s, she knew things had to change. Years of smoking, drinking and late-night takeaways at her desk had taken their toll; she was in pain, and she felt... well, old. In her quest to heal her body, Sandra delved into the science of ageing and was astonished by what she found - that ageing is now considered a treatable 'disease', and by addressing its root causes, we can turn back the clock and dramatically improve our health. Distilling all the latest medical science and with the help of the world's leading longevity experts, she presents a 3-step plan to embed new ways of eating, moving and, crucially, resting more deeply. The plan is designed to put you on the path to long-term change, but you will feel the effects in a matter of weeks. With quizzes at each step to assess your health and clever food swaps, this book introduces key changes to your daily routine that will repair years of damage and transform the way you feel. Now 61, Sandra discovered in a recent test that she has a biological age of 20. That's right - 61 on the outside, 20 on the inside. This book shows how she did it - and how you can too.

A demokráciára vonatkozó alapvető ismereteken túl számos gyakorlati tippet találhatsz benne arról, hogyan érhetsz el gyerekként csomó mindent a szüleidnél, az iskoládban vagy a településeden. Hogyan érvelj, ha este tovább akarsz fent maradni? Mit tehetsz, ha szeretnél a sulidba egy miniállatkertet? És mi kell ahhoz, hogy a városi strandon minden gyereknek ingyenes legyen a belépő (meg a fagyi)?

Why are we so often in conflict?arguing with ourselves and with others, uncertain over who we are what we need from our lives?In The Animal and the Idea, the world-leading, pioneering neuroscientist John Duncan explains that each of us is not just one person – we are two. On one side are our animal instincts, built on the sophisticated needs of human life through evolution, but struggling to navigate the complexity of modern life. On the other side is our rational brain which calculates and cogitates, but is often helpless in the face of bigger questions of meaning and purpose.Dovetailing these two competing sides of ourselves, Duncan draws on a lifetime’s pioneering work to attack puzzles that have concerned thinkers, writers and philosophers through human history. Right and wrong. Freedom and responsibility. Women and men. Democracy and justice. Ambition and fulfilment. Understanding how these two sides of ourselves interact offers revealing and often surprising answers to some of the great questions of our lives.Discover a new perspective on human behaviour, and learn how we can better understand ourselves, our struggles, and our search for meaning.

Ourika, Édouard, and Olivier
''I have no secrets; my unhappiness is the story of my entire life.''A key figure in the literary world of post-Revolutionary Paris, Claire de Duras was a writer of exceptional talent, admired by Sainte-Beuve and Goethe, imitated by Stendhal, and influencing later writers such as Fromentin, Ourika describes the discrimination suffered by a young Black woman brought up in an aristocratic French family, her unconscious adoption of this racial disdain, and her redemption by faith. Édouard charts the impossibility of the bourgeois hero''s love for the daughter of the aristocratic family into which he has been adopted on his parents'' death. In the epistolary Olivier, the two central protagonists, clearly in love, are nevertheless prevented from marriage by Olivier''s secret. Now accepted as integral to French Romanticism and the history of women''s writing, the narratives showcase Duras''s empathy with the exceptional, the outcast, and the victims of social injustice, providing pioneering studies in race, class, and sexuality. Chris Miller''s new translations into English are accompanied by an introduction and notes by Pratima Prasad, highlighting major themes in the texts. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World''s Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford''s commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.
