Nine Months That Count Forever
From the author of the no. 1 internationally bestselling Glucose Revolution, the must-have guide to the science of pregnancy nutrition
Most pregnant women are told: "Don't worry - eat whatever you normally eat. Your baby will get what he needs from you." But science tells a different story: your diet during pregnancy shapes your baby's brain, body, and health for life. And somehow, no one has told you the rules - until now.
When biochemist Jessie Inchauspe became pregnant, she sifted through hundreds of studies and uncovered striking research: choline, DHA, protein and glucose are four key nutrients that influence a baby's development in the womb; yet most women don't get nearly enough of the first three-and too much of the fourth. And the effects can last a lifetime.
In 9 Months That Count Forever, Jessie reveals science-based hacks to optimise these four nutrients, and help give your baby a stronger foundation for life. These principles can:
- Support your baby's brain development, cognitive growth, and emotional resilience
- Lower the risk of asthma, allergies, and diabetes later in life
- Influence your baby's body composition, organ function, and long-term metabolism
Complete with guidance on supplements, nausea, labour, breastfeeding, as well as meal plans and recipes, 9 Months That Count Forever also shares Jessie's deeply honest account of her own pregnancy journey, offering support and reassurance through these crucial months.
This landmark book reveals the extraordinary power mothers hold during pregnancy-and is an essential companion for every parent-to-be.

What Am I, A Deer?
What does it mean to lose yourself – and is that something you should be aiming for? A young woman with little interest in games takes up a job in Frankfurt at a famous gaming company, naively set on reinvention. On her morning commute, in the familiar clutches of tedium and self-loathing, she encounters a nice-eyed stranger who returns her forgotten umbrella and finds herself catapulted into a dizzying, year-long whirlwind of obsession – not just with this endlessly attractive spectre, but also with the feverish karaoke trips from which she draws the ultimate solace. With astonishing existential acuity, Polly Barton’s formidable debut novel renders the paradoxes of modern life in all its complexity, in deliriously self-conscious prose that is at once propulsive, titillating and bitingly funny. Echoing with the sounds of Whitney Houston and The Cure, reaching for the sublime in dark, sweaty boxes, What Am I, A Deer? is an exhilarating exploration of authenticity, fantasy, romance and intoxication.
American Hope
'Immensely readable ... Lamb's assessment is cool and considered: a thoughtful overview of the conclave's fruit in Leo's first year, and the challenges he faces. The author's gifts for rendering complexity digestible are on full display: American Hope is the most thorough and insightful overview out there of the Church at the start of the Leonine era' - Austen Ivereigh, The Tablet'Incisive ... American Hope combines background with predictions, lacing both together with a strong narrative and mastery of Vatican politics as well as theology ... The influence of Lamb's day job, as CNN's Vatican correspondent, can be seen here in the ease with which he places the Pope in a global context, not least in comparing him with US president Donald Trump and his VP, Catholic convert JD Vance' - Catherine Pepinster, TelegraphAs white smoke signaled a new pope had been chosen on the evening of May 8, 2025, Robert Prevost went from being a relatively unknown cardinal to one of the most famous people on earth, the leader of the world's 1.4 billion Catholics. In electing Leo XIV, the College of Cardinals broke with conventional wisdom that there would never be an American pope. Is it a coincidence that he was chosen at a time of unprecedented political turbulence in the United States? Had the cardinals seen in him someone who would act as a spiritual counterweight to President Donald Trum? n American Hope CNN's Vatican correspondent Christopher Lamb explores what the election of Pope Leo means not just for the Catholic Church, but for the world. Drawing on his deep understanding of the Vatican and high-level access to cardinals and senior figures, Lamb paints a portrait of Leo as someone who combines an ability to unify with a steely determination to reform. He provides insights into the themes that will dominate Leo's papacy as the new pope steers a path between traditionalists and reformers. Leo is set to make a profound impact on the Church at a transformative moment in its history. In the era of "America First", the story of Leo's life and ministry asks what it truly means to be an American. In a world of conflict, he stands for peace. In a time of uncertainty, he offers a sense of hope.
Reparenting the Inner Child
If you're ready to stop repeating the past and finally start building the future you deserve, you need to read this book. Mel Robbins, internationally bestselling author of The Let Them Theory and host of The Mel Robbins PodcastFrom the internationally bestselling author of How to Do the Work and How to Be the Love You Seek comes a groundbreaking guide to healing our childhood wounds and rediscovering our full potentialAs adults, we often fall into patterns that feel irrational or out of character-shutting down, lashing out, people-pleasing, or self-sabotaging. Beneath those reactions lies our inner child, a younger part of us still trying to get its needs met the only way it knows how. We all carry the imprint of our earliest years. Childhood is brief, yet its impact is lifelong. Some parts of us were met with love while other parts were met with silence, criticism, or disapproval. To survive, we learned to adapt-learning to over perform, to hide, or stay small. Most of us made it through with a mix of love and lack. And many of us still protect the parts of ourselves that once felt unsafe. While we can't change what happened, we can change how it lives within us and impacts our lives today. Reparenting the Inner Child offers a clear, compassionate path to self-integration, combining practical exercises, somatic tools, and guided reflections to help us create the safety, love, and boundaries we've always needed. Through her holistic framework that models individual development, Dr. LePera explains how we can cultivate the emotional maturity and regulation to respond calmly instead of reacting, to embrace desire instead of shame, and to question the stories we've long believed about who we have to be. Enlightening, empowering, and clarifying, Reparenting the Inner Child is a book that will stand the test of time as a comprehensive guide for personal development and healing, and a resource that will forever change the way we understand ourselves.
