The 5ch Lifestyle
Don’t justmanage your risk of heart attack—prevent it! Every one to twominutes in the US and Europe alone, someone dies of a heart attack of whichthey had no prior knowledge or symptoms, making Ischaemic (or Coronary) HeartDisease the world’s leading cause of death. That adds up to nearly 500,000heart attacks per year that rob individuals of their lives, and families oftheir loved ones. These numbers only begin to account for the damage heartattacks bring about. Even for those who are lucky enough to survive a heartattack, there is a great impact on their life and that of their family; theywill never be the same. While these statistics are appalling, they are oftenignored. The medical community continues to focus on disease management overprevention, and as the tragic numbers show, it’s not working. Using his over40 years of experience as a clinical cardiologist, Dr. Stephen Fenton developedThe 5 CH Lifestyle to turn that around. His approach prioritizes earlydetection and prevention using natural over management with medication. If youwant to live a happier, healthier, and safer life, the 5 CH’s effective dietaryand holistic lifestyle approach is the place to start.

Kutchinsky's Egg
***As serialised in the Guardian***‘Extraordinary’ SOPHIE ELMHIRST, author of Maurice and Maralyn‘Sparkles with passion, greed and mystery’ OLIVER BULLOUGH, author of Butler to the World ‘Spellbinding’ LAURA MILLER, Slate‘A jewel of a thriller’ CAROL WOOLTON, author of If Jewels Could TalkWhen she was ten years old, Serena Kutchinsky’s father Paul was consumed by a wild dream. Heir to the legendary jewellery company House of Kutchinsky, he longed to create a jewelled egg more beautiful than any of Fabergé’s masterpieces. It would be the largest and most spectacular in the world. Standing two feet tall, made of solid gold, dripping with rare pink diamonds and housing a tiny enamelled library, the egg was astonishing. But when he failed to sell it, everything started to unravel. The House of Kutchinsky collapsed, Paul’s marriage fell apart, and within ten years he was dead. The egg was seized by its creditors and disappeared without trace. For thirty years its location remained a mystery, until it began to obsess Serena, too. Why did her father risk everything for this outlandish creation, and where in the world was it – valued by now at L30 million? Intent on finding answers, she traces a story that begins in London’s East End, with the arrival of her great-great grandparents as Polish-Jewish immigrants, and takes her to the other end of the world. It’s a journey that transforms her understanding of her father, her childhood and herself. ‘A brightly painted tale, with everything you could want from a book about a dynasty of jewellers’ SUNDAY TIMES
The Alienation Effect
'Dazzling ... The remarkable story of how British culture was transformed by émigré architects, filmmakers and writers' Guardian Britain. Made in Europe. In the 1930s, tens of thousands of central Europeans sought sanctuary from fascism in Britain. While the rainy, seemingly quaint island they discovered on arrival was a far cry from the dynamism of Weimar Berlin or Red Vienna, it was safe, and it became home. Yet the émigrés had not arrived alone: they brought with them new and radical ideas, and as they began to rebuild their lives and livelihoods, they transformed the face of Britain forever. Drawing on an immense cast of artists and intellectuals, including celebrated figures like Erno Goldfinger, forgotten luminaries like Ruth Glass, and a host of larger-than-life visionaries and charlatans, the historian Owen Hatherley argues that in the resulting clash between European modernism and British moderation, our imaginations were fundamentally realigned and remade for the better. In casting what Bertolt Brecht called, in a new German word, a Verfremdungseffekt, an ‘alienation effect’, on Britain, the aliens made us all a little bit alien too. Provocative, entertaining and meticulously researched, The Alienation Effect opens our eyes to the influence of the émigrés all around us – many of our most quintessentially British icons are the product of this culture clash – and entreats us to remember and renew our proud national tradition of asylum.
The Warrior Walker
'An epic and inspirational journey that everyone should read' JASON FOX, SAS: WHO DARES WINS'Could not put this down, an absolute belter from start to finish' FARREN MORGAN, FORMER QUEEN'S GUARD AND AIRBORNE SOLDIERIn 2020, Paul Harris aka 'The Warrior Walker' set off on a pilgrimage around the UK that would rebuild his life from rock bottom and change the way he saw the world forever. Weighed down by a traumatic military past, Paul's life spiralled and he seriously contemplated taking his own life at the age of 36. Then a random text from a friend delivered a route map to emotional safety during what were possibly his final few hours. Paul, why don't you walk the British coast pat? ith only L300 in his pocket and a 30-kilo rucksack on his back, Paul decided to leave his life as he knew it and took up wild camping, slept rough, struggled along the coast paths of Devon, Cornwall and Wales in the sideways rain, and wading through knee-high snowdrifts around the Scottish islands and the burning summer sun on England's east coast. Walking was therapy. Nature was restorative. The path was his friend. The Warrior Walker is more than just one man's journey of self-discovery. Paul's story shines a light on the kindness of strangers, of the coast path that gave him purpose, about discovering family and true love, and how even wrong turns can lead you to exactly where you need to be. In a world where so much human interaction is cruel, divisive and distant, this is an important reminder that there is light even in the darkest of moments.
The St William Window at York Minster
The St William Window at York Minster is one of the greatest surviving English works of art of the late medieval era. It forms one of three monumental stained-glass narratives created at York Minster in the first decades of the fifteenth century, and like its world-famous neighbour the Great East Window, it is the work of the master glazier John Thornton. The window''s monumental scale is matched by its breathtaking artistry, which bears comparison with the finest surviving artistic representations of saints'' life cycles of the age.The window''s subject is the life and miracles of St William of York, a not uncontroversial twelfth-century archbishop whose shrine within the Minster became the focus of a major medieval miracle cult. The modern conservation of the window, which was underpinned by ground-breaking historical research, has enabled the unravelling of its complex narrative and allowed the conserved glass to be reassembled correctly for the first time since the window''s creation. This remarkable conservation story has never previously been told.

Queen Elizabeth II
‘I am a great admirer of Her Majesty. This gem of a book beautifully encapsulates the life of one of history’s most iconic royals.’ - Barbara BushAt age 25, Elizabeth II became Britain’s fortieth monarch and vowed to dedicate her life to service and duty on behalf of her country. Upon her death, aged 96, she certainly had achieved that. She was the constitutional monarch of fifteen sovereign states, head of the fifty-six member Commonwealth of Nations, Supreme Governor of the Church of England, and Head of the Armed Forces. Most notably, however, on 9 September 2015, she became the longest reigning monarch in British history and for a time was the oldest serving sovereign in the world. She consistently adapted in order to remain relevant, while devotedly upholding the age-old traditions of the monarchy. Although there have only been six British female monarchs, it cannot be denied that some of the most enlightened times in history have occurred during periods of queenship. Elizabeth I led the country through the Golden Age and Victoria ushered in the Industrial Revolution, but it is Elizabeth II who has left the most illustrious and progressive legacy of all: a true icon of modern monarchy.

Kin
THE SPELLBINDING NEW NOVEL FROM THE WOMEN'S PRIZE-WINNING AUTHOR OF AN AMERICAN MARRIAGE* 'This is Tayari Jones's very best work.' ANN PATCHETT, author of Tom Lake* 'Kin is a masterpiece of a novel.' OPRAH WINFREY* 'A future classic.' ROISIN O'DONNELL, author of Nesting*'An exquisite gift.' TIME MAGAZINEA Most Anticipated Book for 2026 according to the New York Times, New Statesman, Guardian, Independent, Financial Times and USA TodayA yearning for their missing mothers pulls Vernice and Annie apart.

Black girls like Vernice and Annie have to fight for every opportunity they can, and neither one can build the future they hope for in Honeysuckle. Gradually, inevitably, the girls drift apart. Vernice pursues her education; Annie is lured by the promise of a heady first love affair and a growing obsession with finding her mother.

Tayari Jones returns with an exuberant, richly told story about mothers, daughters, and a lifelong friendship that is as dangerous as it is unbreakable.
Casement
Fully Revised and Enlarged Edition with a new ForewordSince his execution for high treason in 1916, Roger Casement has been lauded for his humanitarian activism in Africa and the Amazon. His life, however, has remained obscured behind speculation about his sexuality and his complicated contribution to Ireland’s revolutionary generation that took up arms against the British Empire. He lives on as an enduring enigma in the history of British-Irish relations—a figure who refuses easy categorisation, and whose legacy demands radical reconsideration. Angus Mitchell traces the life of a man fatally divided between serving the empire and advancing demands for an independent Irish nation. Understanding his logical evolution from imperialist to revolutionary unmasks a coherent global dimension to the Irish struggle. The apparent contradictions of his life resolve into a singular commitment to humanity, justice, and universal principles of love and tolerance. Beyond what it tells us about Casement’s fated path to the scaffold in Pentonville Prison, this biography invites readers to question the curation of national history, the hidden power of archives, and the lasting impact of state secrecy.
White Supremacy
Buffalo, New York, 2022. Ten black people murdered. The killer, 18-year-old Payton Gendron, says he was driven by 'Great Replacement' - the conspiracy theory that a Jewish-led elite is replacing white people with black and brown people. This, and a spate of similar hate crimes, begs the question: what are the origins of such behaviou? avin Evans traces the historical roots of white supremacy. He begins in the 19th century with Charles Darwin and his cousin Francis Galton's race-based theories before looking at the spread of eugenics ideas throughout the UK, Europe and the United States, their Holocaust-prompted decline after the Second World War, and their revival in a different guise through the promotion of race science from the late 20th century. Evans also examines the hatching of 'Great Replacement' conspiratorial ideas in the 21st century - and their expression via alt-right forums to the minds of troubled young men with access to assault rifles. White Supremacy breaks new ground in showing the links between mainstream 'Replacement Theory' and the terrorist version cited by far-right killers. It also traces the thread between these ideas and the race science promoted both by the far right and establishment figures. It looks at what these ideas have in common with those promoted by, for example, the founder of eugenics.

Bolhaváros
Van egy hely, Bolhaváros, ami kutyául különleges. A lakói ugyanis mind kutyák, akik nagyon szeretik egymást és a városukat. Sokat vannak a szabadban, beszélgetnek az utcán, a kölykök rohangálnak fel és alá, és a Jutifalat cukrászdában kapni a legfinomabb fagylaltot.
Ám egy napon az egyik kutya autót vesz magának. Nahát, micsoda vagányság! Hamarosan minden bolhavárosi kutya autóval jár mindenhova. Igen ám, de az utcákon már szinte semmi hely sincs a gyalogosoknak, a kutyák már nem beszélgetnek egymással, mindenki csak ül az autójában idegesen, nyomja a dudát, áll a dugóban. Ráadásul szörnyen büdös is van. Hol van már az a barátságos és kedves hely, amit eddig Bolhavárosként ismertek a lakói? De semmi sincs veszve! A kutyák felismerik, hogy sokkal jobb, ha nem mindenhova autóval mennek, és bátran lehet a gyerekeknek ide-oda szaladgálniuk az utcán, és a felnőttek is nyugodtan mehetnek gyalog. Úgy még beszélgetni is tudnak az ismerőseikkel.
Ha egy igazán vicces és szórakoztató könyvet keresel, amiben szóba kerül, hogy miért fontos, hogy ne csak mindig autózzunk, amikor gyalogolni is tudunk, akkor Ivan Mitrevski könyvét neked találták ki.

Námořník z domu s cimbuřím
Paměti spisovatele, publicisty, námořního jachtaře, plastikového modeláře, překladatele militárií a znalce námořní historie Františka Novotného je možno zařadit mezi díla tzv. „malé historie“, která se na rozdíl od té „velké“ nevěnuje válkám a revolucím, osudům vladařů a vojevůdců a vzniku a pádu impérií, ale životům běžných lidí s jejich drobnými starostmi, ale i radostmi, do nichž ta velká historie proniká jen okrajově, ale v případě totalitního režimu, v němž autor skoro půl století žil, neúprosně.
Autor líčí, jak se tehdy lidé tomuto pronikání bránili, čemuž je uzpůsobeno uspořádání pamětí, které jsou periodizovány podle prezidentů, a František Novotný na tehdejší události ještě reaguje v některých případech dnešními komentáři, neboť mnohé ze současné politiky mu připomíná minulé doby.
Vzhledem k tomu, že autor vyrůstal na brněnském jachtklubu, jsou jeho paměti též kronikou jachtingu v moravské metropoli a svědectvím o vzniku novodobého námořního jachtingu, jenž pak Františku Novotnému uhranul a umožnil mu splnit si mladický sen – stát se námořníkem. Nedosti na tom, jeho paměti jsou též kronikou plastikového modelářství v Československu, když patřil mezi jeho organizátory, a totéž platí i pro hnutí milovníků sci-fi, do něhož se v Brně zapojil mezi prvními, spoluzakládal zde sci-fi klub Nyx a podílel se na organizování Draconů, celorepublikových sjezdů milovníků sci-fi v Brně.
Paměti Františka Novotného nejsou jen vzpomínkami na vlastní život a na životy rodičů a přátel z různých komunit, na jejichž činnosti se podílel, ale také historií jednoho brněnského domu, onoho „domu s cimbuřím“ – a vlastně historií celého města Brna, jehož ulicemi autor čtenáře provází.
Původně měly paměti končit přestěhováním z „domu s cimbuřím“ do kohoutovického sídliště v roce 1981, ale autor připsal dodatek Námořník abonentem na lince č. 137. Když se svět po roce 1990 otevřel, mohl se věnovat práci profesionálního jachetního kapitána, takže své vzpomínky na dvacáté století uzavírá jako jachtařský cestopis, aby doložil, že si svůj sen splnil a opravdu se stal „námořníkem z domu s cimbuřím“.
