Egg - A Dozen Ovatures

Lizzie Stark

An unconventional history of the world’s largest cellular workhorse, from chickens to penguins, from art to crime, and more. 
The egg is a paradox―both alive and not alive―and a symbol as old as culture itself. In this wide-ranging and delightful journey through its natural and cultural history, Lizzie Stark explores the egg’s deep meanings, innumerable uses, and metabolic importance through a dozen dazzling specimens. 
From Mali to Finland, mythologies around the globe have invested the egg with powers of regeneration and fecundity, often ascribing the origin of the world to a cosmic egg. An oracle to Romans, fought over by Gold Rush gangs, used as the foundation of the Clown Egg Registry, and blasted into space, the egg has taken on larger proportions than, say, the ovum of an ostrich. 
It has starred in global dishes from the Korean comfort food ttukbaegi gyeranjjim to the less regaled yet iconic soft-boiled egg. Stark writes a biography of French-born chef Jacques Pépin through his egg creations, and weaves in her personal experiences, like attempting to make the perfect omelet or trying her hand at pysanky―the Ukrainian art of egg decoration. She also explores her fraught relationship to the eggs in her body due to a familial link to cancer, and shares her delight in becoming a mother. 
Filled with colorful characters and fascinating morsels, Egg is playful, informative, and guarantees that you’ll never take this delicate ovoid for granted again.

Sociology of Health and...

Fred Grandsen

This collection of studies offers a nuanced understanding of how our social environments shape our physical and mental well-being.
The Sociology of Health and Illness investigates how health and illness are not only biological but deeply social phenomena. This book explores how society influences our understanding of health, illness, and the healthcare system. It covers topics like health disparities, the medicalization of society, and the social determinants of health, shedding light on the ways in which culture, politics, and economics intersect with our physical and mental health.
The Sociology of Happiness explores the social constructs of happiness, well-being, and quality of life. It investigates the sociocultural, economic, and political factors that contribute to an individual's sense of happiness and satisfaction. By examining topics such as income inequality, work-life balance, family dynamics, and social networks, this book provides a comprehensive look at how happiness is often shaped by external social forces and what individuals and communities can do to improve collective well-being.
The Sociology of Fear examines the societal impact of fear and anxiety, analyzing how fear is constructed and manipulated within society. This book discusses the role of fear in social control, the media's portrayal of fear, and how fear shapes political, economic, and social decisions. It also explores the impact of fear on mental health and behavior, as well as how different cultures experience and respond to fear.
Together, these three books provide an in-depth examination of how health, happiness, and fear are influenced by social structures and dynamics. Through the lens of sociology, they offer valuable insights into the role of society in shaping our perceptions of wellness and emotional states.

Choose the path that makes you stronger and discover resilience 2.0

Modern life offers an endless stream of comfort and convenience, but the truth is that this path is making us sicker and unhappier than ever. What if the key to optimal health isn't to avoid stress, but to harness it to make you better? Like the Greek hero Hercules at his crossroads, we face a choice: The easy path of the couch, social media, binge streaming and fast food, which leads to decline. Or the more challenging path of purposeful hardiness that builds true strength. The Hardiness Effect offers a revolutionary approach that goes beyond resilience, showing you how to harness your mind and body for a life well lived.

Dr Paul Taylor, psychophysiologist, ex-military aviator and award-winning author, reveals the practical actions that will help you move from coping to adapting.

If, like Hercules, you choose to follow the harder path, you’ll find you can face life’s challenges with new determination, boost your physical and mental health, and even extend your longevity.

Master the four pillars of psychological hardiness: Discover the 4 Cs (challenge, control, commitment and connection), a framework that turns adversity into growth.

Harness hormesis to live longer and healthier: Apply the biological principle that small doses of stress make you stronger, with proven, step-by-step practices that trigger your body’s repair and anti-aging systems.

Tune your daily rhythms for peak performance: Learn how to supercharge your brain and energy through sleep hygiene, light exposure, breath work, omega-3 and Vitamin D, recovery protocols and more.

Reclaim your human nature: Combat loneliness and digital overwhelm by building meaningful relationships and reconnecting with the natural world.

Escape the comfort trap: Take back control from ultraprocessed foods, sedentary living and addictive technologies — and develop habits that create hardiness and boost wellbeing.

The Hardiness Effect shows you how to unlock your potential by building the psychological and physical toughness you need for lasting health and vitality. This science-backed, hands-on blueprint will show you how to transform challenge into strength and embrace a life of genuine purpose and fulfilment.
