Best Before - Nicola Temple - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing (UK) - Plusbog.dk

The whole story behind what''s in the food on our plate. Long before there was the ready meal, humans processed food to preserve it and make it safe. From fire to fermentation, our ancestors survived periods of famine by changing the very nature of their food. This ability to process food has undoubtedly made us one of the most successful species on the planet, but have we gone too far? Through manipulating chemical reactions and organisms, scientists have unlocked methods of improving food longevity and increasing supply, from apples that stay fresh for weeks to cheese that is matured over days rather than months. And more obscure types of food processing, such as growing steaks in a test-tube and 3D-printed pizzas, seem to have come straight from the pages of a science-fiction novel. These developments are keeping up with the changing needs of the demanding consumer, but we only notice them when the latest scaremongering headline hits the news. Best Before puts processed food into perspective. It explores how processing methods have evolved in many of the foods that we love in response to big business, consumer demand, health concerns, innovation, political will, waste and even war. Best Before arms readers with the information they need to be rational consumers, capable of making informed decisions about their food.

There are just three problems: 1. Kostya has some ghosts of his own. 2. His advancing menu of spirit cuisine is threatening the stability of the Afterlife itself. 3. He’s falling in love with Maura, a party psychic with her own secret connection to the Afterlife – who also happens to be the one person who knows he must be stopped. A bittersweet cocktail of humour and heart, Aftertaste is an imaginative odyssey through food and love, life and death: the things that sustain us, connect us, transport us, and remind us who we are.

The Kitchen Shrink - Andrea Oskis - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing (UK) - Plusbog.dk

''Poignant and often sad, the stories of Oskis’s patients peel back the layers of the human mind and our attachment to people and things... What becomes clear as consommé is that food is humanity’s original and universal love language'' The Mail on Sunday''I was editor of Psychologies Magazine for a long time, and I''ve had a lot of books across my desk, but nothing like this! Dr Oskis shows us that what’s on our plate speaks volumes about our hearts'' Suzy Walker, Muddy Stilettos There is no better way to understand ourselves and our relationships with others than through what we eat. Me: ‘When did you know he didn’t love you anymore?’ My patient: ‘It wasn’t when we stopped having sex. No, it was when he stopped eating dinner with me.’ That was the lightbulb moment. That was when I discovered there is no better way to get inside people’s lives than through their stories about food. Did you know that the food we eat reveals a lot about how we love?Psychologist Dr Andrea Oskis shows us how we connect with each other and how we can change our relationship ‘recipes’ for the better. Along the way, she also reveals her own food story about love and loss.Inviting us into her therapy room, she tells us: the real reason why comfort food comforts why dessert isn’t a good idea when you’re stressed what makes children feel obliged to eat their greens why you should never give a bottle of hot sauce to someone who has been rejected Be prepared to never look at your plate in the same way again.

Just Earth - Tony Juniper - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing (UK) - Plusbog.dk

''Everyone should read this book'' - George Monbiot ''A compelling read for anyone who cares about all lives on our planet'' - Tanya Steele CBE, CEO of WWF UK In this extraordinary and hopeful book, leading environmentalist Tony Juniper CBE identifies the real problem at the heart of the climate and nature crises. From soil loss to wildfires, degraded rivers, mass migration and conflict, the environmental crisis is already here — and it’s set to get much worse. While billionaires build remote bunkers and make plans for colonies on Mars, climate collapse impacts the most vulnerable among us first and hardest. But what this radical and ground-breaking book proves is that inequality isn’t just about who suffers the consequences, it is the main obstacle blocking action – and it has been for decades. How can people lead good lives without ultimately hastening global collapse? The answer lies in fairness. We can’t fight the climate and nature crises without addressing the ever-widening gaps between the rich and poor, the powerful and the weak.Drawing upon more than 40 years of experience in research, practical work, campaigning and advocacy, combined with interviews with globally renowned experts, in Just Earth Tony Juniper reveals the system shifts needed to achieve real, lasting change.

Racism is a public health crisis – an d we can do something about it. ''A work of towering importance that will undoubtedly change science and save lives, but it will also change the way you see yourself and the people around you'' Chris van Tulleken, author of Ultra-Processed People A ground-breaking investigation into how racism corrodes science and medicine – leading to worse treatment for everyone. What can you do when science and medicine are as biased as the society they treat? Black and Asian patients in the UK wait nearly a week longer for a cancer diagnosis and globally, people of colour are not only more likely to die while giving birth, they are also more likely to die while being born – or soon afterwards. In Systemic , science journalist Layal Liverpool unearths the shocking facts behind the health threat of racism, and when a scientific bias is this pronounced, it results in worse treatment for everyone. We are collectively more ill, medical research is held back and our potential for scientific discoveries is reduced.But there is hope for a cure – practical solutions that we can implement to heal our world. Individuals can learn to advocate for themselves and others with scientifically backed data in the face of structural prejudice. Governments can enact policies aimed at tackling systemic inequities on a national level. Drawing on years of research, interviews and cutting-edge data from across the world, Systemic is a clarion call for a healthier world for us all. ''A groundbreaking, brilliantly argued book that debunks the myth that illness is the great equaliser'' Siddhartha Mukherjee, Pulitzer Prize winning-author of The Emperor of All Maladies and The Song of the Cell ‘Liverpool is a wonderful researcher and this shines through in her writing. Systemic provides a powerful examination on racism in healthcare’ Annabel Sowemimo, author of Divided

Frontline Midwife - Kent Anna Kent - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing (UK) - Plusbog.dk

Extraordinary, profoundly moving, all-consuming . . . I haven't stopped thinking about Frontline Midwife since I finished reading it Oliver Burkeman, author of Four Thousand Weeks 'The heart-wrenching tale of one midwife s quest to help others and make peace with herself' Leah Hazard, author of Hard Pushed Brutally powerful . . . Totally absorbing Independent This is a story of women in crisis, seen through the eyes of a remarkable midwife My own suffering, my own loneliness, was a fair price to pay for the lives we d saved. And now here I am, training to be a midwife, so that next time I can make it better. Anna Kent has delivered babies in war zones, caring for the most vulnerable women in the most vulnerable places in the world. At twenty-six years old, not yet a fully-trained midwife, she delivered a baby in a tropical storm by the light of a headtorch; the following year, she would be responsible for the female health of 30,000 Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh. But returning to the UK to work for the NHS, she soon learned that even at home the right to a safe birth was impossible to take for granted. In Frontline Midwife , Kent shares her extraordinary experiences as a nurse, midwife and mother, illuminating the lives of women that are irreparably affected by compromised access to healthcare. This is at once an astonishing story of the realities of frontline humanitarian work, and a powerful reminder of the critical, life-giving work of nurses and doctors at home and around the world.

Crammed with facts, figures and fascinating scientific studies'' SUNDAY TIMES Your body contains a symphony of tiny timepieces, synchronised to the sun and subtle signals in your environment and behaviour. But modern insults like artificial light, contrived time zones and late-night meals can wreak havoc on your internal clocks.Armed with advances in biology and technology, a circadian renaissance is reclaiming those lost rhythms. The Inner Clock explores the emerging science and its transformative applications: How could taking a walk in the morning and going to bed at the same time each night keep your body in sync? Why are some doctors prescribing treatments at specific times of day? And how might a better understanding of our circadian rhythms improve educational outcomes, optimise sports performance, and support the longevity of our planet?Science journalist Lynne Peeples seeks out the scientists, astronauts, athletes and patients at the forefront of a growing movement. Along the way, she sleeps in a Cold War-era bunker, chases the midnight sun, spits into test tubes, and wears high-tech light sensors to decipher what makes our internal clocks tick and how we can reset them for the better.

The Bezzle - Doctorow Cory Doctorow - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing (UK) - Plusbog.dk

Money-laundering, cyber-knavery and shell-company chicanery: Marty Hench is an expert in them all. He''s Silicon Valley''s most accomplished forensic accountant and well versed in the devious ways of Fortune 500s, divorcing oligarchs, and international drug cartels alike (and there’s more crossover than you might imagine). Cory Doctorow''s hard-charging, read-in-one-sitting, techno take on the classic PI pulp novel.** It''s 2006, and Marty Hench is at the top of his game as a self-employed forensic accountant, a veteran of the long guerrilla war between the people who want to hide money and the people who want to find it.

He''s trespassed into the playgrounds of the ultra-wealthy and identified their latest target: California’s Department of Corrections, who manage the state''s prison system. Secure in the knowledge that they’re living behind far too many firewalls to be identified, the tycoons have hundreds of thousands of prisoners at their mercy, and the potential of millions of pounds to make off them.But now, Marty is about to ruin their fun...

Magic Pill - Johann Hari - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing (UK) - Plusbog.dk

''A wonderfully accessible exploration of one of the most complex problems of our age'' TELEGRAPH '' Magic Pill will help you think more clearly about eating, dieting, health and mental health, even if you never touch Ozempic'' JONATHAN HAIDT The bestselling author of Lost Connections and Stolen Focus takes a revelatory look at the new drugs transforming weight loss as we know it – sharing his personal experience on Ozempic and examining our ability to heal society’s dysfunctional relationship with food, weight and our bodies. In January 2023, Johann Hari started to inject himself once a week with Ozempic , one of the new drugs that produces significant weight loss. He wasn’t alone – some predictions suggest that in a few years, one in four of the British population will be taking these drugs. While around 80 per cent of diets fail, someone taking one of the new drugs is likely to lose up to a quarter of their body weight in six months. To the drugs’ defenders, this is a moment of liberation from a condition that massively increases your chances of diabetes, cancer and an early death. Still, Hari was wildly conflicted. Can these drugs really be as good as they sound? Are they a magic solution – or a magical illusion? Finding the answer to this high-stakes question led him on a journey from Iceland to Minneapolis to Tokyo, and to interview the leading experts in the world on these issues. He found that along with the drugs'' massive benefits come twelve significant potential risks. He also learned that these drugs radically challenge what we think we know about shame, willpower and healing. These drugs are about to change our world, for better and for worse. Everybody needs to understand how they work – scientifically, emotionally and culturally. Magic Pill is an essential guide to the revolution that has already begun – and which one leading expert argues could be as transformative as the invention of the smartphone.

Pravda Ha Ha - Maclean Rory Maclean - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing (UK) - Plusbog.dk

Shortlisted for the Stanford Dolman Travel Book of the Year Award 'A gem of a book, informative, companionable, sometimes funny, and wholly original. MacLean must surely be the outstanding, and most indefatigable, traveller-writer of our time' John le Carr In 1989 the Berlin Wall fell. In that euphoric year Rory MacLean travelled from Berlin to Moscow, exploring lands that were for most Brits and Americans part of the forgotten half of Europe. Thirty years on, MacLean traces his original journey backwards, across countries confronting old ghosts and new fears: from revanchist Russia, through Ukraine s bloodlands, into illiberal Hungary, and then Poland, Germany and the UK. Along the way he shoulders an AK-47 to go hunting with Moscow's chicken Tsar, plays video games in St Petersburg with a cyber-hacker who cracked the US election, drops by the Che Guevara High School of Political Leadership in a non-existent nowhereland and meets the Warsaw doctor who tried to stop a march of 70,000 nationalists. Finally, on the shores of Lake Geneva, he waits patiently to chat with Mikhail Gorbachev. As Europe sleepwalks into a perilous new age, MacLean explores how opportunists both within and outside of Russia, from Putin to Home Counties populists have made a joke of truth, exploiting refugees and the dispossessed, and examines the veracity of historical narrative from reportage to fiction and fake news. He asks what happened to the optimism of 1989 and, in the shadow of Brexit, chronicles the collapse of the European dream.
