  The story of how a boy came to be infected with blood borne viruses, and in spite of multiple death sentences, lived to become the world's first ever LGBTQ+ Ambassador for Haemophilia.
  'Faced daily with my own mortality, I chose to live fabulously—each of my fifty-five years has been full of love, laughter, adventure… and feather boas.'
  Mark Ward is the founder of Haemosexual—an online support and information resource championing equality, education and better healthcare for everyone with a bleeding disorder, no matter what their sexual orientation. Mark's battle to secure a public enquiry into the Infected Blood Scandal—which is finally due to report in May—has led him to places he never expected, and to meet people he never dreamt of.
  'Mark is a survivor, literally, of the HIV visited upon him through contaminated blood, but rather than merely revelling in the simple fact of life, he has heroically dedicated himself to ensuring life remains possible for others.'—Sam Stein KC
  This forthright (and fabulous) memoir, recounts the journey of an unlikely lad from Letchworth who grows up to be a renowned and respected rights campaigner. With foreword by Sam Stein KC.
  'This is a remarkable book—brave, funny and honest. Ward is a gifted writer with a profound story to tell and he does it beautifully.' — Peter Moffat
  'This is a story of one of the worst cover ups of our time, and the author's part in the fight to expose it, but it is also the story of a human being who managed to live a life filled with joy despite the mistreatment he endured. An inspirational tale.' — Elkan Abrahamson, Director of Covid Enquiry Department, Jackson Lees Law Group
  'This is a profound and important book from a courageous individual who has lived through the darkest episode of medical history, and contributed to the resolution for the thousands impacted in the UK' — Brian O'Mahony, CEO of Irish Haemophilia Society

  Supermassive Black Hole - A...

  A black hole is a region in space where the gravitational pull is so strong that nothing, not even light, can escape from it. This occurs when a massive amount of matter is compressed into a very small area, creating a powerful gravitational field. 
  Black holes form through various processes that involve the collapse of massive astronomical objects and the merging of smaller black holes. One primary method is the stellar collapse. Stars, during their lifecycle, fuse hydrogen into helium in their cores. When the hydrogen is depleted, they begin fusing heavier elements until iron is produced. For stars more than 20 times the mass of the Sun, the end of this fusion process leads to a supernova explosion. The core of the star collapses rapidly due to gravity, and if the core's mass is sufficiently large (typically more than about three times the mass of the Sun), it will continue collapsing into a singularity, forming a stellar-mass black hole. 
    
  Another way black holes can form is through accretion and growth. A compact object like a neutron star or a white dwarf can accumulate matter from a companion star or its surroundings. As this matter accumulates, the mass of the compact object increases, and it may eventually reach a critical mass where it collapses into a black hole.

  "Slobodchikoff's ground-breaking research" (Jonathan Balcombe) shows us that animals have much to teach us about languageGroundbreaking research has been done teaching animals human language, but what about the other way around? Studies have shown that lizards, squid, monkeys, and birds are talking to each other, communicating information about food, predators, squabbles, and petty jealousies. These animal languages are unique and highly adaptive. By exploring them, we come to appreciate the basis of our own languages; understanding or even "speaking" them allows us to get closer to the other species who inhabit this planet with us. The implications of animals having language are enormous. It has been one of the last bastions separating "us" from "them."Slobodchikoff's studies of the communication system of prairie dogs over twenty-five years have attracted a considerable amount of attention from the media, including a one-hour documentary on his work produced by BBC and Animal Planet. In Chasing Doctor Dolittle, he posits that the difference is one of degree, not the vast intellectual chasm that philosophers have talked about for millennia. Filled with meticulous research, vivid examples and daring conclusions, this book will challenge the reader's assumptions and open up new possibilities of understanding our fellow creatures.

  10 Ways the World Could End -...

  Our planet is an extraordinary place, teeming with life and natural wonders. Yet, beneath the beauty and stability of our world lies an inherent fragility that we must never overlook. From the forces of nature to the actions of humanity, numerous threats exist that could drastically alter the course of life on Earth. These dangers range from natural disasters such as volcanic eruptions and asteroid impacts to man-made catastrophes like nuclear war and the consequences of climate change. While these events may seem distant or improbable, they are very real and have the potential to affect us all in profound ways. 
  To fully grasp the magnitude of these threats, it is crucial to understand how they arise and their potential consequences. Many of the dangers that could lead to the end of the world are rooted in forces that have shaped our planet for millions of years. However, modern society faces new, unique risks that previous generations never imagined. Natural disasters, though unpredictable, are part of the Earth's natural cycles, while human actions—whether through pollution, warfare, or technological mismanagement—have introduced entirely new categories of risk. As technology advances and our global interconnectedness grows, the potential for widespread disaster becomes more complex and difficult to anticipate. 
  When examining the ways the world could end, it is essential to distinguish between natural and man-made catastrophes. Natural disasters, like earthquakes, tsunamis, and pandemics, have been occurring throughout Earth's history, long before humans arrived on the scene. These events have shaped ecosystems, driven evolutionary processes, and, at times, caused mass extinctions. On the other hand, man-made catastrophes, such as nuclear warfare or the unchecked expansion of artificial intelligence, are unique to modern civilization.
