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.

A penalty shoot-out is the ultimate stress test. So much hangs on that 90-second ordeal. In this gripping book, psychologist Professor Geir Jordet reveals the elaborate psychological elements of a penalty shootout, and the universal human stress mechanisms that it illuminates. What happens to players' brains and bodies under severe pressure? Why do some thrive while others choke? How can they turn a seemingly uncontrollable outcome into one that is positive and more predictable? Drawing on two decades of studying the atomic nuances of performance under pressure, Jordet shares fascinatingly detailed case studies and stories from working with top national teams, as well as the surprising techniques he has devised to enable players to succeed. This is a book for anyone who has been fascinated by a World Cup penalty shoot-out, or simply fallen apart during an important conversation.
