  Sir Roger Bannister - born on March 23, 1929 - is an English former athlete best known for being the first to run the mile in less than four minutes, remarkably while practicing as a junior doctor. This was achieved on May 6, 1954, at Iffley Road Track in Oxford, with Chris Chataway and Chris Brasher providing the pacing. The resulting time was 3 min. 59.4 sec. 
  Retiring from running shortly after, Bannister went on to become a distinguished neurologist and an important contributor to research into the human nervous system. The following is Bannister's perspective on the famous race.

  A charming and indispensable tour of two thousand years of the written word, Shady Characters weaves a fascinating trail across the parallel histories of language and typography. 
   
   
   
  Whether investigating the asterisk (*) and dagger (†)—which alternately illuminated and skewered heretical verses of the early Bible—or the at sign (@), which languished in obscurity for centuries until rescued by the Internet, Keith Houston draws on myriad sources to chart the life and times of these enigmatic squiggles, both exotic (¶) and everyday (&). 
   
   
   
  From the Library of Alexandria to the halls of Bell Labs, figures as diverse as Charlemagne, Vladimir Nabokov, and George W. Bush cross paths with marks as obscure as the interrobang (?) and as divisive as the dash (—). Ancient Roman graffiti, Venetian trading shorthand, Cold War double agents, and Madison Avenue round out an ever more diverse set of episodes, characters, and artifacts. 
   
   
   
  Ranging across time, typographies, and countries, Shady Characters will delight and entertain all who cherish the unpredictable and surprising in the writing life.

  Your environment is not neutral — it’s shaping your focus, creativity, and mood every second. How to Build Spaces That Think for You explores the psychology of design and how small, deliberate changes in light, sound, temperature, and layout can reprogram the way you think. This isn’t interior decoration; it’s cognitive architecture. Drawing from environmental psychology and neuroscience, it reveals how rooms can either drain your attention or amplify it — and how to make focus the default state. 
  From designing workspaces that sustain deep concentration to creating restorative zones that encourage recovery, this book offers a blueprint for aligning space with intention. The goal isn’t aesthetic perfection — it’s behavioral precision. Because when your environment supports your mind, discipline feels effortless and creativity becomes instinctive. You don’t just live in a space — you collaborate with it.
