    Learn to master your finances with this practical guide full of tips and techniques that help you live rich while spending less.   Money isn’t the most important thing in a woman’s life—but it effects every aspect of how we live. So if you want to enjoy the best of life, it’s important to be money savvy. Living the Savvy Life teaches you how to be mindful about money so that you have it when you need it—and also when you truly want to splurge or treat yourself.  Living the Savvy Life isn’t about being a cheapskate, a miser, or a tightwad. It’s about having security and peace of mind by spending less than you make. It’s about knowing where you stand financially on a daily basis so you can make intelligent fiscal decisions. It’s about cooking at home more often so you can afford an occasional dinner at your favorite restaurant. It’s about having a wardrobe made entirely of clothes that fit and look great on you. It’s about enjoying your time off because you planned for it and know you can “afford it.” It’s about attaining and maintaining a balance that can sustain the life you love.

    Imagine a one-stop shop stacked to the rafters with everything you could ever want to tap into young people's natural curiosity and get them thinking deeply. Well, this is it! Edited by professional philosopher Peter Worley from The Philosophy Shop and with a foreword by Ian Gilbert, this book is jam-packed with ideas, stimuli, thought experiments, activities, short stories, pictures and questions to get young people thinking philosophically. Primarily aimed at teachers to use as a stimuli for philosophical enquiries in the classroom or even as starter activities to get them thinking from the off, it can also be used by parents for some great family thinking or indeed anyone fed up of being told what to think (or urged not to think) and who wants a real neurological workout.

    For more than fifty years, we have been waging, but not winning, the war on cancer. The astonishing news is that up to two-thirds of all cancer cases are linked to preventable environmental causes. If we can stop cancer before it begins, why don't we?That was the question that motivated Kristina Marusic's revelatory inquiry into cancer prevention. They recognize that we will never reduce cancer rates without ridding our lives of the chemicals that increasingly trigger this deadly disease.One scientist grew up without seeing examples of Indian-American women in the field, yet went on to make shocking discoveries about racial disparities in cancer risk. Another leader knew her calling was children's health, but realized only later in her career that kids can be harmed by invisible pollutants at their daycares.For these individuals, the fight has become personal. And it certainly is personal for Berry, a young woman whose battle with breast cancer is woven throughout these pages. Marusic shows that, collectively, we have the power to prevent many cases like Berry's. The war on cancer is winnable—if we revolutionize the way we fight.
