  Time wants you dead. Not just you, but your friends, family, pets – everyone you’ve ever met… 
   
  With over 17,000 known diseases affecting humans, and countless poisons, carcinogens and toxins in our environment, it’s a miracle that our bodies manage to keep us alive. And that is, of course, if they don’t betray us themselves, whether through cancers or autoimmune conditions. 
   
  Biomedical researcher Professor John Tregoning tells the unlikely story of how, against all odds, we manage to stay alive. Taking an organ-by-organ tour of the human body, Tregoning embarks on his own experimental quest, testing 'life-extending' diets and exercise regimes to separate fact from fad. Exploring the multitude of ways our bodies can kill us, from inherited genetic conditions, through heart attacks, arrythmias and angina, onto the delicate workings of the brain, Live Forever? offers compelling insight into how our bodies work, how we can best look after them – and ultimately live longer, healthier lives.

  The Olympic Class ships were intended to be the greatest liners to ever sail the oceans, but the Britannic sank only four years after her sister ship the Titanic. While the wreck of the Titanic is two miles below the surface and rapidly deteriorating, the Britannic is much more accessible (only 400 ft down) and remains largely intact. One of the largest passenger ships ever to have sunk, her wreck presents a unique opportunity to explore the interior of the Olympic Class liners, and examine areas which on the Titanic simply no longer exist. 
   
   
   
  Simon Mills bought the wreck of the Britannic in 1996 and has spent more time exploring it than anyone else. Inside the Britannic is the sum of decades of work covering every inch of the shipwreck as he searches for answers to century-old questions, and discovers new mysteries to solve. Simon takes a forensic approach but this book is more than just the autopsy report of a ship. 
   
   
   
  The Britannic may have been lost over a century ago, but Simon Mills's fascinating new book gives everyone unparalleled access to rediscover her.

  The human skin is more than a mere protective barrier; it is a dynamic, complex ecosystem that reveals the intricate conversations between our immune system, external environment, and internal health. In this comprehensive exploration of dermatological conditions, we unravel the mysteries of disorders that emerge when the body's delicate biological mechanisms turn against themselves, transforming protective responses into sources of persistent challenge. Rhinophyma, Rosacea, Scabies, and Yeast Infections represent a diverse spectrum of conditions that not only impact physical appearance but profoundly influence an individual's psychological well-being, social interactions, and quality of life. 
  Beyond the clinical descriptions and medical terminology lies a deeply human narrative of resilience, adaptation, and the ongoing struggle between our body's defensive systems and invasive or dysregulated biological processes. Each condition examined in this volume tells a unique story of cellular miscommunication, inflammatory responses, and the complex interplay between genetic predisposition, environmental triggers, and individual immune system variations. By delving into the biological mechanisms, diagnostic challenges, treatment strategies, and personal experiences associated with these skin and tissue conditions, we aim to provide a holistic understanding that transcends traditional medical discourse, offering insights for healthcare professionals, patients, and anyone seeking to comprehend the remarkable complexity of human dermatological health.

  How To Make It In Nursing As A...

  Are you a man looking to get into nursing and do not know how to? 
  Do you wish to understand just what it takes to become a nurse in a female-dominated field? 
  If so, then you have come to the right place. 
  This book will usher you into the world of being a male nurse and thriving at it! 
  For a better part of the last decade, nursing has been considered a female domain, with men being looked at as anomalies in the field. The view that men cannot make good nurses has thus led to widespread stereotypes of men who get into the field. Men in nursing are generally often viewed with suspicion, with people even questioning their sexual orientation.  
  However, as you will learn in this book, nursing had originally been a field meant for men. During the old periods up until the 19thcentury, large-scale caregiving was a role that was meant for men. Thus, this already defeats the stereotype that men lack the necessary temperament to get into nursing. 
  Furthermore, men who get into nursing consider it the most fulfilling profession that they could choose and simply want to care for people. 
  So, perhaps you may be wondering… 
  Why is it hard for men to get into nursing? 
  What are some of the challenges male nurses face in the profession? 
  How do female nurses react to and treat their male colleagues? 
  What are male nurses doing to change the negative perception of men in the field? 
  What does the future hold for male nurses? 
  If these and many questions are bothering you, then this is the book that answers them and more, as it covers the ins and outs of becoming a male nurse and how to make the best of it.
