    Bridget Jones meets AJ Jacobs in Wellmania, an in-depth, laugh-out-loud exploration of the best and worst of the wellness industry. 
     
     
     
    Cold-pressed juices, "clean" eating, colonic vacations, mindfulness apps, and Paleo: health-care trends and miracle diets seem to be more plentiful each year. But do any of these tactics actually work? What does "wellness" even mean? 
     
     
     
    In Wellmania, longtime journalist Brigid Delaney tackles the good, the bad, and the just-a-little-ridiculous of the wellness industry, using herself as the guinea pig. Starting with a brutal 101-day fast, she leaves behind her thirty-something-year-old lifestyle of late-night parties and all-day hangovers to test the things that are supposed to make us healthy and whole: yoga classes, meditation, CBT, Balinese healing, silent retreats, group psychotherapy, and more. Writing with self-deprecating wit and refreshing honesty, she sorts through the fads and expensive hype to find out what actually works, while asking, What does all this say about us? Is total wellness even possible? And why do you start to smell so bad when you haven't eaten in seven days? According to comedian Judith Lucy, the result is "bloody entertaining" and "leaves you wondering whether you want to do yoga or get mindlessly drunk and despair at the state of the world."

    Green Greenwich reveals the many green spaces in the Royal Borough of Greenwich in south east London. Candy Blackham has spent three years exploring the woods, flowery meadows, parks and nature reserves with her camera. She shares with us her enjoyment of the many sites which are found around almost every corner, and all within forty minutes of central London. Each site has a brief historical description and photographs which tempt us to go walking every day of the year as the trees change from bare branches to green leaves, and then the brilliant jewel-like colours of autumn. As you walk in the parks discover herons, foxes, many varieties of butterflies and other insects, and of course the ever-present ring-necked parakeets. Walk along the Thames, enjoy views from hilltops, explore the canals of Thamesmead, and take time to enjoy the calm of the natural surroundings. Candy Blackham has given us another unique book which invites us to go walking beyond our usual haunts and reminds us how fortunate we are to have these green spaces and how much they depend on our protection and vigilance so that they are not lost in London's growth.

    He's back! In this second travel memoir, The Man Without a Plan lands in Belize, a country about which he knows nada. But he quickly amasses an array of new friends – some of whom can even match his penchant for being in a near-constant buzz from industrial-quantity drugs and drink.
    As ever, the characters with whom Steven ingratiates himself become his surrogate (dysfunctional) family. But Tracey, Devonais, Ask Bobby!, Valentino and a pack of kids led by the feral Molokai soon have Steven suspecting that his cheerfully transactional relationships are, in fact, ensnaring him in a web of scams. Will he be left for broke, stranded in this shabby paradise? Is his paranoia justifiable, or the result of continuous cocaine use? His response is to embark with the gang on a road trip along the coast, taking in shantytowns, hotels, beaches and, at a low ebb, jail.
    Coarse, irresponsible and wilfully uninformed, Froelich is nevertheless observant and interested. Belize is about the ways in which chaotic, complex human beings find community, no matter where they're from or where they're headed.
