  Follow the Science? - But be...

  This book comes from two authors with scientific backgrounds. It recognises the huge advances made through science and their beneficial impact on society. However, it also expresses concern that the essentially tentative nature of scientific conclusions is being replaced by a growing tendency to accord to science the last word on a range of subjects. While the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic of 2020 has shown some of the uncertainties associated with scientific research, this book demonstrates that these become more apparent in such fundamental areas as the origin of both life and the universe, as well as the abiding mystery of mind and consciousness. The authors argue persuasively that we should recognise the limitations of science as well as its unquestionable strength.  
  David Galloway MD DSc was a Consultant Surgeon and is currently Honorary Professor of Surgery at the University of Glasgow, Scotland. He was, until recently, the President of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons in Glasgow.  
  Alastair Noble PhD spent most of his career in science education and educational management and was latterly the Field Officer for School Leaders Scotland. Both are committed Christians.

  Broken Money - Why Our Financial...

  Broken Money explores the history of money through the lens of technology. Politics can affect things temporarily and locally, but technology is what drives things forward globally and permanently.
   
  
   
  The book's goal is for the listener to walk away with a deep understanding of money and monetary history, both in terms of theoretical foundations and in terms of practical implications. From shells to gold, from papyrus bills of exchange to central banks, and from the invention of the telegraph to the creation of Bitcoin, Lyn Alden walks the listener through the emergence of new technologies that have shaped what we use as money over the ages. And beyond that, Alden explores the concept of what money is at its very foundation to give the listener a framework to analyze and compare different types of monetary technologies and monetary theories.
   
  
   
  The book also takes a distinctively human look at how money impacts the lives of real people, and how new monetary technologies shape the power structures within society.

  On the Boardwalk

  A memoir from the writer of BENT with a foreword by Ian McKellen
  Sherman takes us on a journey through America in the mid twentieth century, starting in New Jersey – where he was born in the 1930s to a Jewish immigrant family – ending on Broadway with the premier of his seminal play Bent starring Richard Gere. On route, we encounter other famous performers including Meryl Streep, Bee Gees, Joan Baez, but the scene-stealing character is always his father – a charismatic narcissist who might have given Trump a run for his money. We stop off in Woodstock, Los Angeles and London – a city Martin would eventually make home; he relays his story with self-depreciating humour as he struggles to make it in theatre, with his sexuality, and under the shadow of the inheritable disease that killed his mother tragically early – a disease from which he finds himself finally free, as he turns forty in the book's closing pages.
  
  "As in his plays, Martin Sherman writes here of complexity with simplicity, of the hidden with utter candour. A fascinating and brilliant example of what a memoir ought to be."—ALAN CUMMING
  "Most shove childhood memories into the recesses of forgetfulness, while others gather each detail like colours in a paint box and use them to create. We call those folks artists. Martin Sherman is such a creature. Within these pages you will find his painterly application of memories, fashioning a masterwork of experiences for us to enjoy."—HARVEY FIERSTEIN
  "Absolutely mesmerising and so fantastically well written that I wish Martin Sherman had written novels as well as plays and screenplays"—STEPHEN FRY
  "Completely absorbing and funny and sad and beautifully told—a real treat and an extraordinary story—what a life."—IAN HISLOP
  "One Hell of a ride. Profound, witty, beautifully written and difficult to forget."—HUGH JACKMAN
  "This memoir is astounding. I'm reading it a second time."—VANESSA REDGRAVE
  "A volume filled with moving, entertaining and fascinating memories, by one of our great stage and screen writers."—PETER TATCHELL
  "On the Boardwalk is full of audacity and joyfulness, jokes and tears, it blew my mind, as it will blow yours." – PETE TOWNSHEND
  "He writes like Philip Roth—but even funnier."—RUBY WAX

  Inner Sense - How the New...

  Discover your elusive "sixth sense"—your brain's ability to perceive and interpret bodily sensations like hunger and thirst—and how to rewire your mind-body connection for optimal health. 
   
  Are you able to recognize your own heartbeat? What about thirst? In Inner Sense, science communicator Caroline Williams explains that some people are so insensitive to internal cues that they struggle to recognize basic needs like hunger or fatigue. While others only notice their body's signals when they become overwhelming. This disconnect between the brain's predictions and the body's sensations can lead to mental and physical health challenges, from chronic fatigue, to anxiety, to eating disorders. If this sounds like you—don't worry. It's not too late to tap into your interoceptive awareness. 
  Inner Sense delves into the fascinating field of interoception, speaking with doctors, scientists, and researchers about how our internal sensations influence our thoughts and actions—and how we can harness interoceptive awareness to improve health, relationships, and society as a whole. Williams explores cutting-edge interventions like mindfulness, biofeedback, targeted exercise, and even psychedelic therapy, which hold the potential to help us regulate emotions, reduce stress, and live better lives.
