  What is cancer? What causes it, and why do some people get it, while others don’t?  
  And with so much conflicting information now available – who can we really trust for sensible medical advice anyway?  
  ‘We wholeheartedly recommend The Cancer Roadmap’ The Bone Cancer Research Trust 
  ‘This book is essential, both a courageous no-nonsense companion and a comforting balm.’ Donna Ashworth 
  We all want certainty and hope for ourselves or those we love after a cancer diagnosis, but what we really need is honesty and truth. 
  In The Cancer Roadmap, breast cancer surgeon and three-time cancer patient Dr Liz O’Riordan confronts the big cancer truths (and myths), offering clear, evidence-based answers. She breaks down the latest research to give the facts you need to make informed treatment decisions that are right for you or your loved one. 
  She gives definitive answers to common questions such as:Is it your fault you got cancer?Do you need to stop drinking alcohol?Can you cure cancer by changing your diet?Does alternative medicine work better than chemo? 
  Dr Liz also suggests meaningful, practical steps to reduce the risk of future recurrence, even when the odds feel stacked against you. 
  Let her guide you through your cancer journey with confidence and clarity, and give you the best chance of your cure. 
  For fans of Kelly A. Turner (Radical Hope), James R. Doty (Mind Magic), Jane Mclelland (How to Starve Cancer ...without starving yourself), Deborah James (How to Live When You Could Be Dead), and Helen Bullen (Agnes, Bea, Cancer and Me).

  Quantum computers, quantum cryptography, and even quantum AI—a century after the discovery of an unexpected physical world, researchers are putting this puzzling science to work in dazzling new ways. 
   
  In this exhilarating and mind-bending book, renowned scientist and author Paul Davies offers readers a glimpse of how quantum physics has led to a quantum technology revolution. Quantum 2.0 reveals how today’s brightest minds are harnessing exotic states of matter that have no counterpart in everyday life. Specifically, all eyes are on entanglement, called “spooky” by Einstein, which links the activities of separated particles even across vast distances. 
   
  By manipulating these weird properties of atoms, electrons, and photons, scientists are driving the burgeoning field of “quantum information science,” featuring new tools such as quantum computers, quantum cryptography, and the quantum internet. In turn, their efforts have attracted billions of dollars in investments and triggered a frantic quantum arms race between nations. At the same time, theorists are taking a closer look at quantum systems themselves, which possess properties that defy intuition and shred everyday notions of reality. Davies explains how researchers, including himself, are wrestling with quantum theory to make sense of this realm, where ghostly quantum particles produce tiny forces in nanotechnology, cause black holes to evaporate, and may even contribute to the universe’s accelerating expansion. A trusted guide, Davies takes readers from the basic concepts to today’s cutting edge, inviting us all to glimpse the wonderland of quantum physics and its stunning implications.

  The fascinating—and often secret—history of the body's most fascinating system: the gut. 
   
   
   
  The stomach is notoriously outspoken. It growls, gurgles, and grumbles while other organs remain silent, inconspicuous, and content. For centuries humans have puzzled over this rowdy organ, deliberating on the extent of its influence over cognition, mental wellbeing, and emotions, and wondering how the gut became so central to our sense of self. 
   
   
   
  Traveling from ancient Greece to Victorian England, eighteenth-century France to modern America, historian Elsa Richardson leads us on a tour of the gut, exploring all the ways that we have imagined, theorized, and probed the mysteries of the gastroenterological system. We'll meet a diverse cast of characters including Edwardian body builders, hunger-striking suffragettes, demons, medieval alchemists, and one poor teenage girl plagued by a remarkably vocal gut, all united by this singular organ. 
   
   
   
  Engaging, eye-opening, and thought-provoking, Rumbles leaves no stone unturned, scrutinizing religious tracts and etiquette guides, satirical cartoons and political pamphlets, in its quest to answer the millennia-old question: Are we really ruled by our stomachs?
