The Power of Hormones
'Newson radiates empathetic concern for women's quality of life.' - The Sunday TimesFor decades, three vital hormones in the female body, progesterone, estrogen and testosterone, have been misunderstood, dismissed and feared. Their critical roles in improving function of women's brains, bones, hearts and long-term health have been ignored. Confusion between natural, body identical hormones and synthetic, chemically altered 'hormones' has distorted medical guidelines and shaped media narratives. The result? Countless women struggling with hormone imbalances left untreated, misdiagnosed or told to take antidepressants and other medications instead of being prescribed the hormones their bodies are lacking. In this bold, evidence-based book, leading doctor and women's hormone specialist Dr Louise Newson exposes the uncomfortable truth behind medicine's blindness and complacency, revealing how women's suffering has been normalised for generations. Drawing on powerful medical history, science and decades of clinical experience, she dismantles myths around menopause, HRT and so-called 'sex hormones', and gives women the knowledge that has been withheld for too long. The Power of Hormones exposes why so many people have been let down and continue to be failed by outdated medicine. Passionate, empowering and refreshingly honest, the book shows how understanding and restoring hormonal balance can transform quality of life as well as future health. Testimonials for Dr Louise Newson:'You changed my life for the better! Your care and devotion to the women you help is outstanding.''You have saved countless women's lives with your team's dedication and help, enabling all of us women to live our best lives.' 'I honestly believe I wouldn't be here today if it wasn't for you and I'll always be grateful for that.'
Homework
Born in 1958, the only child of a dinner lady and a sheet-metal worker, Geoff Dyer grew up in a world shaped by the Second World War. It was a time of Airfix models and wargames, conkers and frugality: having splurged on a mono record player, Geoff's dad discovers it's a portal to endless expenditure and funding for records is abruptly withdrawn. But far from being a story of hardship overcome, Homework is a celebration of opportunities afforded to Dyer's generation. A grammar-school education leads to books, prog rock (on a new stereo), girls, beer and, eventually, a place at Oxford. In Homework, Dyer returns to his early life and asks what it means to live through an era of complex social transformation.
It's Not Just in Your Head
Mind-body medicine focuses on the relationship between mental and physical health. This is the first book written for lay readers that demystifies medically unexplained symptoms, empowering readers with answers and techniques to promote healing by recognizing the brain''s power to influence bodily functions.Medically unexplained symptoms account for 40 percent of primary care visits in the United States, yet a “biological” cause is discovered only 25 percent of the time, leaving both patients and their providers frustrated. People who experience medically unexplained symptoms often feel unheard, marginalized, or even dismissed by their medical providers. Physicians strive to help people, yet the difficulty they face trying to determine the causes of symptoms that do not easily fit into neat diagnostic boxes can lead to frustration and helplessness. Diagnosing cases of medically unexplained symptoms can lead to an overuse of an already overburdened health system as patients are referred from one specialist to another in an attempt to find answers to their puzzling constellations of symptoms. Dr. Susan Trachman, a specialist in psychosomatic medicine and the writer of the immensely popular Psychology Today blog It''s Not Just in Your Head, has seen firsthand her patients’ frustration. Her book, It’s Not Just in Your Head, goes in depth and offers answers and workable solutions by teaching readers about different types of symptoms and how to explain them. Divided into major illness groups—including cardiac, gastrointestinal, infectious disease, and autoimmune disorders—this book will empower readers to be their own Sherlock Holmes by giving them the tools they need. Real patient stories, evidence-based research, and valuable takeaways round out this much-needed work.
Killing Maradona
Drugs, cartels, mafia, addiction, the FBI, and coercion - this is the untold story behind the tragic decline of football's most gifted and controversial legend. Maradona was football's ultimate genius - a magician on the pitch whose talent rivalled only Pelé. But off the field, the boy from the barrios of Buenos Aires became entangled in a dark web of criminal influence and personal demons. From the Cali Cartel's attempts to lure him into the drug trade, to the Camorra's grip on his life in Naples; from clashes with the Italian government to Pablo Escobar's sinister hospitality, Maradona's life was a battleground far beyond football. Battling addiction, betrayal, and exploitation, Maradona's story is one of genius corrupted - a man caught between adulation and self-destruction, whose medical neglect and FBI scrutiny culminated in a tragic end. Marking the 40th anniversary of Argentina's legendary 1986 World Cup victory, Killing Maradona is a searing investigation into the forces that destroyed football's first 'Golden Boy.'
Working with Autistic People in Mental Health Settings
Mental health services support many Autistic people - whetheror not they are formally identified - and have a vital opportunity to embrace neurodiversity-affirmative approaches that truly meet their needs. Too often,traditional therapies, even when well-intentioned, can overlook Autistic ways of thinking, feeling, and being, repeating deficit-based narratives that do more harm than good. Integrating clinical expertise, contemporary theory, and lived experience,this definitive book empowers professionals to deliver truly neurodiversity-affirmative care. Exploring key aspects of Autistic experience including interoception, masking, monotropism, and double empathy, this book offers practical strategies for adapting therapy, assessment, and service delivery. Through reflective exercises and practice insights, this book bridges theory and practice to support authentic, respectful clinical relationships. It offers mental health professionals a compassionate roadmap for genuine support and redefines what effective mental health support for Autistic people can, and should, look like.
Before Recognition
Recognizing religion in global politics is neither neutral nor benign. This book reveals how recognition operates to reinforce hierarchies, reify religious difference, and deepen political divisions. Maria Birnbaum reframes religion as a historically contingent category of knowledge and governance. She shifts the question from whether religion should be recognized to how it becomes recognizable. Through the entangled imperial histories of British India and Mandate Palestine, the book traces how colonial and anti-colonial governmental logics shaped the politics of religious minorities, representation, and border-making-dynamics that continue to shape postcolonial states like Pakistan and Israel. Offering a timely critique of the epistemic assumptions underpinning global discourses on religion, sovereignty, and political order, Before Recognition challenges conventional understandings of religion in international relations. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.

Willie, Willie, Harry, Stee
A Waterstones Best History Book 2025 A BBC History Magazine Book of the Year 2025 ‘Learned, entertaining and highly approachable’ BOB MORTIMER ‘A treat’ ALICE LOXTON ‘Five stars from me…’ AL MURRAY An unmissable collaboration between two comedy legends – an irresistible, family-friendly deep dive into the murky lives of the British monarchy. Willie, Willie, Harry, Stee, Harry, Dick, John, Harry three. One, two, three Neds, Richard Two, Henries, four, five, six, then who? Charlie Higson has always been fascinated by the story of the monarchy: from the b*stardly to the benevolent, the brilliant to the brutal. In this wonderful new book, using the famous rhyme he learned at school as his trusty guide, Charlie takes us through the history of this bizarre and long-lasting institution, introducing readers to every single ruler since poor Harold got it in the eye at the Battle of Hastings (or did he?). Who were all these people, and what did they do? It’s all here. Bloody treachery? Check. Unruly incest? Check. A couple of Cromwells? Check. The War of Jenkins Ear? Sadly, for Robert Jenkins, check. A rip-roaring journey that takes in the Normans, Plantagenets, Tudors, Stuarts, Hanoverians and Windsors, not to mention the infamous Blois (how can we forget them?), Willie, Willie, Harry, Stee is an utterly engrossing and grossly entertaining guide to who ruled when and whether they were any good at it.
Common Decency
It may be quiet in the suburbs, but it''s far from peaceful...Oak Drive can be found nestled tidily in an unassuming part of England. Its neat front gardens overlook an average-sized common which the street''s residents survey with quiet, some might say, smug, pride. This is the sort of place where it pays to look after the small things, and let the big things look after themselves. Bins should be placed back in their right positions in a timely fashion and paintwork should share the same tasteful but muted palette. Sometimes, however, the big things do not look after themselves - and all hell can break loose in the sleepy streets of suburbia.Set in suburban Britain, Common Decency chronicles the lives and interactions of the street''s residents as they band together to save a beloved oak tree from destruction at the hands of developers.As tensions rise and repressed neuroses and resentments seep out, the secrets of the street''s inhabitants threaten to shatter the well-ordered veneer and reveal some rather more surprising truths...
A Quiet Evening
Collected here, from a period of nearly five decades, are thirty-six of Norman Lewis s best articles. In each, his writing crackles with poker-faced wit and stylistic brilliance. As a witness to his times the good, the bad and the absurd he was unmatched, and his instinct for important events, and moments, was infallible. His range here includes Ibizan fishermen, an interview with Castro s executioner, the genocide of the South American Indian tribes, a paean to Seville and his meeting with a tragic Ernest Hemingway. That meeting was a shattering experience, Norman wrote to Ian Fleming who had commissioned him, of the kind likely to sabotage ambition. Fortunately it didn t, and the articles assembled between these covers are compulsive, hilarious, tender and beautifully written, at times deeply upsetting, and always unforgettable.
The Pilgrimage
'Fearless and frank and sometimes comic' Colm Tóibín'I absolutely loved The Pilgrimage... Brilliant... A book about what it feels like to live with doubt and still keep going' Orla Mackey 'A brooding and beautifully observed short novel' Jan CarsonSomeone knows about Julia Glynn's affair. She and husband Michael are the envy of their neighbours: prosperous, devout, the model couple. Then one day, an anonymous letter arrives with the morning papers, describing Julia's trysts with Michael's nephew in obscene detail.Frantic with suspicion and frustrated desire, Julia imagines catastrophe in their small, curtain-twitching town. As the letters keep arriving, she struggles to retain composure and proceed with plans for a family pilgrimage to Lourdes - only for other buried scandals to come knocking at the door of their pristine home.Frank in its depiction of sexuality and queerness in 1950s Ireland, The Pilgrimage was immediately banned on original publication. Outrageous and bleakly funny, it is a powerful evocation of the corrosive effects of repression.

Freddie Flintoff: Coming Home
THIS AUTUMN'S MUST-HAVE AUTOBIOGRAPHY'A split-section decision is all it takes. A decision that can change the course of a cricket match. Maybe even the course of your life.'Sometimes, a split-second is all it takes. In cricket. In life. In Coming Home, Freddie Flintoff zeroes-in on the crucial moments that made him - some highly celebrated, others less well-known, away from the cameras, but all pivotal in shaping the man he is. As a boy, growing up in Preston, Fred fell in love with the game of cricket. It gave him his route through life; out on the pitch he felt at home. Through his eyes we see him picking up a bat for the first time, his early years on the field; that incredible performance to win the Ashes against the Aussies in 2005; face-downs with rivals; run-ins with the media; the doctors telling him he can't continue to play. On and off the pitch, in and out of the spotlight, Fred tells the whole story. After retiring, Fred thought he'd left the game behind, relaunching himself in the world of entertainment, but following the car crash that turned his life upside down, it was cricket to which he returned. Coming Home is a reflection on a unique life, a story like no other, and a love letter to the game that made him. Honest, open, reflective and funny, like the man himself, this is Freddie Flintoff, in full, in his own words.
