No-Nonsense Skincare
A guide to smart skincare made simple—for every body and at every age. Skincare isn't one-size-fits-all—but you wouldn't know that from the overwhelming tide of product claims, influencer advice, and social media trends. In No-Nonsense Skincare, board-certified dermatologist Erum Ilyas, MD, cuts through the noise with trusted guidance for every part of the body and every stage of life. Whether you're navigating teenage breakouts, pregnancy skin changes, or dryness in your 60s, this book offers practical, evidence-based strategies to care for your skin with clarity and confidence. This essential guidebook explains how to: • Build a skincare routine that works for you by learning how to choose and use products based on your skin's changing needs, not marketing labels. • Demystify skincare myths and understand the truth behind buzzwords like "clean beauty," "skin type," and "anti-aging."• Recognize misleading marketing, vague claims, unrealistic expectations, and overhyped ingredients before they influence your decisions. • Understand what products can and can't do so that you can identify when you're buying real treatment—and when you're paying for ineffective products. • Save time and money by creating a streamlined routine that's effective without being excessive. Readers will learn how to decode marketing buzzwords, make sense of ingredients, and avoid common traps and dangerous trends. Through easy-to-follow routines, product insights, and scientific context, the book empowers readers to create skincare plans that are realistic, affordable, and customized to their own needs. From head to toe, and from infancy to older age, this guide offers a dermatologist's honest insight on how to care for your skin without getting lost in the hype.

Birthing Romans
How Romans coped with the anxieties and risks of childbirthAcross the vast expanse of the Roman Empire, anxieties about childbirth tied individuals to one another, to the highest levels of imperial politics, even to the movements of the stars. Birthing Romans sheds critical light on the diverse ways pregnancy and childbirth were understood, experienced, and managed in ancient Rome during the first three centuries of the Common Era. In this beautifully written book, Anna Bonnell Freidin asks how inhabitants of the Roman Empire—especially women and girls—understood their bodies and constructed communities of care to mitigate and make sense of the risks of pregnancy and childbirth. Drawing on medical texts, legal documents, poetry, amulets, funerary art, and more, she shows how these communities were deeply human yet never just human. Freidin demonstrates how patients and caregivers took their place alongside divine and material agencies to guard against the risks inherent to childbearing. She vividly illustrates how these efforts and vital networks offer a new window onto Romans’ anxieties about order, hierarchy, and the individual’s place in the empire and cosmos. Unearthing a risky world that is both familiar and not our own, Birthing Romans reveals how mistakes, misfortunes, and interventions in childbearing were seen to have far-reaching consequences, reverberating across generations and altering the course of people’s lives, their family histories, and even the fate of an empire.
The Rainshadow Orphans
The first novel in a dazzling epic fantasy trilogy inspired by Japanese folklore and Studio Ghibli, set within a mythical archipelago brimming with dragons and Sun Spirits, high-tech hackers and bubble tea. Life is hard for the inhabitants of Rainshadow City, a place where poverty and corruption are rife and where they are terrorised by an underground criminal organisation known as the Lucky Crows. Toshiko, Jun and Mei Kawakami are a family, bonded through loyalty if not blood, who live outside the law and who are seeking revenge for the murder of their beloved ‘aunt’ Reiko. Haru is the son of the Emperor, destined to one day rule over the Archipelago and uphold his mother’s ignoble legacy, but he is more interested in making friends with the magical Sun Spirits it seems only he can see. Theo, forced to leave his homeland, is a reluctant foot-soldier for the Lucky Crows. He doesn’t want to be a gangster, but as an illegal immigrant to the city, his choices are severely limited. When Toshiko steals a dragon pearl from the leader of the Crows, it sets them all on a thrilling path which will determine the future of Rainshadow City. Set across two days and peopled with unforgettable characters, The Rainshadow Orphans blends fantasy and science fiction to explore what it means to stand up to corruption and take charge of destiny.
Inconceivable
"After every knock, no matter how severe, I would find a renewed strength to try again. And again."Endometriosis affects 1 in 10 women worldwide, yet on average it takes 8 years to get a diagnosis. Why? Because the medical profession regularly dismiss women's pain as 'normal'. In this intimate, heartfelt memoir, we follow Sinead's journey with endometriosis, through her struggles with pain, miscarriage, medical gaslighting, heartbreak, misdiagnosis, botched procedures, betrayal, and numerous treatments, before she finally found her happy ending - her inconceivable future. For women who have suffered debilitating pain and not been listened to; for women facing fertility struggles; for women who have been betrayed and had their hearts broken, Inconceivable is an uplifting and empowering reminder that we are not alone, and that once we put ourselves and our own needs first, wondrous things can happen. Above all, this is a story of hope through despair; about what is possible if you keep pushing, keep persevering, and never give up.

Field Guide to the Butterflies of Wales
Wales has a diverse range of butterflies – from the familiar Peacock to the elusive Large Heath, from the blisteringly quick High Brown Fritillary to the dainty Wood White, from the shimmering Silver-studded Blue to the orange glow of the Brown Hairstreak. This identification guide covers the 44 species present in Wales, and includes explanations of their lifecycles, distribution maps highlighting where they are likely to be found and a section on rare migrants that have been encountered here and may occur again in the future. Butterflies are not just delicate insects flitting around our meadows, gardens and hedgerows; they are far more complicated than that. Their lifecycles are fascinating and in some cases it seems a wonder that they survive at all. Moreover, butterflies are key pollinators as well as excellent indicator species: when their numbers dwindle or they are absent, something is wrong – a cause for concern and should be investigated. This book is ideal for people living in Wales keen to identify their local butterfly species, and for visitors interested in watching these charming insects.

Po italsku do hubky, 2. vydání

Oheň svatého Antonína
Je počátek 15. století. Mniši v klášteře mají po modlitbách a pokojně pečou chleba. Jednoho z nich však svírají pochyby o vlastní víře. Když úpěnlivě prosí o Boží znamení, pocítí pálení po celém těle a mysl mu prostoupí psychedelické vize. Nastala snad jeho poslední hodinka? Zřejmě ho čeká smrt a setkání s Všemohoucím… Tak proč se vedle něj vznáší týpek v ušmudlaných kraťasech, s jednou ponožkou na noze a lenonkami na nose?
Oheň svatého Antonína přibližuje fenomén ergotismu, který způsobuje námel, přesněji paličkovice nachová, cizopasná houba parazitující na některých obilninách. Po požití se dostavují silné tělesné příznaky jako mravenčení a svalové záškuby, halucinace či delirické stavy. Ostatně právě z námelu švýcarský chemik Albert Hoffman v roce 1938 poprvé syntetizoval diethylamid kyseliny lysergové aneb LSD.
