  The Science of Diet & Exercise examines traditional weight loss advice and finds it wanting. Data shows that the kinds of foods you eat are as important as how much you eat, and studies of physically active hunter-gatherers illustrate that energy expenditure (caloric burn) stays virtually constant, regardless of activity. The nine articles in this collection present the most recent research examining the details of the metabolic process and testing new approaches, some of which can be applied to how we think about diet and exercise today.

  Brave and Bold: 100 Years of the...

  A hundred years. Thousands of women. One extraordinary pond. 
  I have learned about peacocks and terrapins, giant cobras and booming widgeons; I have heard about celebrity spottings and al-fresco lovemaking and digestive biscuits. These things make up the history of the Ladies’ Pond, but they also give us an insight into a hundred years of women’s lives. 
  From code breakers to cake bakers, I have learned that there is no such thing as a ‘normal woman’; and over the last hundred years the Pond has played host to thousands of remarkable people. 
  For a century, the Ladies’ Pond on Hampstead Heath has welcomed women from every walk of life: artists and activists, swimmers and sunbathers, friends and free spirits. As Britain’s most famous female open-air swimming spot, a pocket of wildness tucked away in the middle of the city, it has long attracted adventurous swimmers from all over the UK and the wider world. 
  Brave and Bold celebrates one hundred years of this beloved London landmark through the rhythm of a single swimming year, from frozen Januarys to sun-drenched midsummers; through friendships, feminist activism and the exhilaration of open water. 
  Created in collaboration with the Kenwood Ladies’ Pond Association and rich with previously unseen archive material and new interviews – from Dolly Alderton and Amy Liptrot to lifelong swimmers of every era – this is far more than the story of one pond. It’s a story of community, women and wild water across a century of social and political change, from suffragettes to soap stars, war to liberation, and shared flasks of tea to acts of quiet rebellion. 
  Brave and Bold is both a love letter to Hampstead Heath and to every woman who has ever felt most at home bobbing about in open water. 
  Brave and Bold is non-fiction with the warmth of autobiography, attentive to nature and to the ponds, habitats and ecosystems that make the Ladies’ Pond feel like a world apart. Through that lens, feminism becomes a daily practice—held in friendships, rituals, and the simple bravery of stepping into open water. 
  For fans of Dolly Alderton (Everything I Know About Love), Sara Pascoe (Animal), and Daisy Buchanan (How to Be a Grown-Up).

  Louisbourg was no mere isolated stronghold which could be lost or won without affecting the wider issues of oversea dominion. On the contrary, it was a necessary link in the chain of waterside posts which connected France with America by way of the Atlantic, the St Lawrence, the Great Lakes, and the Mississippi. But since the chain itself and all its other links, and even the peculiar relation of Louisbourg to the Acadians and the Conquest, have been fully described elsewhere in the Chronicles of Canada, the present volume only tries to tell the purely individual tale. (Summary from Book preface)

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.  Your body is not failing you — it’s asking for your attention. 
  A gentle guide to your body — with AI as your co-pilot 
   
  Learn how to listen before it has to shout. 
  The Body Is Your AVATAR is for the kind of tired that doesn’t have a name. 
  Not a medical textbook. 
  Not a health overhaul. 
  A steady, practical guide to listening to your body — and responding with clarity instead of fear. 
  Using a simple but powerful metaphor — you are the driver, your body is the avatar — this book helps you shift from fighting your body to working with it 
  You’ll learn how to: 
  Understand your body’s signals — fatigue, stress, sleep issues, and low energy 
  Read and track lab results calmly, without panic or medical overwhelm 
  Build simple daily rituals that restore energy and steadiness 
  Use AI (GPT) as a health co-pilot to organize data, spot patterns, and ask better questions — without replacing your doctor 
  Create a long-term health mindset based on prevention, rhythm, and self-respect 
  This book is especially for you if you: 
  Feel “mostly fine” but not fully well 
  Are tired of reacting instead of preventing 
  Want clarity and support without overwhelm 
  Carry responsibility — for children, parents, work, or everyone but yourself 
  Quiet, human, and deeply reassuring, The Body Is Your AVATAR helps you rebuild trust — in your body, your signals, and your ability to care for yourself with steadiness and confidence. 
  You don’t need to optimize your body. 
  You don’t need to control it. 
  You need a guide. 
  You need a co-pilot. 
  And you need to start listening — now. 
  Begin the conversation. Take the driver’s seat.
