  An unofficial guide to Alien: Isolation, the greatest, scariest horror game ever made. 
   
  There aren’t many computer games that can justify an entire book, but for superfans, Alien: Isolation is truly extraordinary and Perfect Organism reveals all there is to know about every aspect of this masterful game. 
   
  Discover the rationale and authenticity of the set design and art direction, learn about the alien’s unnerving abilities to second-guess the players and the importance of its unique height, find out more about the importance of the dynamic audio and the use of seventies archive soundbites, as well as the darkly beautiful music. And immerse yourself in the technical brilliance of the level design and the user interface, before reading about the deleted content, and the scenes and features that never made the final cut. 
   
  Alien: Isolation is a game of remarkable depth, complexity, and detail, and together with a level-by-level mission guide, this audiobook will answer all of your questions, as well as many you haven’t yet thought to ask!

  The Man Who Made Plants Write

  ""In Sumana Roy's elegant translation, Bose's arguments remain fresh, vivid, and compelling to those reading his book in English today."" 
  -Ramachandra Guha 
  ""A fine introduction to the literary oeuvre of the scientist who pioneered the study of plant sentience."" 
  -Amitav Ghosh 
   
  In The Man Who Made Plants Write, internationally renowned poet and critic Sumana Roy translates Jagadish Chandra Bose's revolutionary writings on the environment. 
  Bose (1858-1937), a scientist and polymath, devoted much of his time to presenting a sophisticated vision of plant communication. He suggested that trees had an 'unvoiced life', their own idiom as it were, a way of responding to each other and to the world around, which could be recorded as a 'script' with a crescograph. In his essay collection Abyakta - 'The Unsaid' - Bose implored his readers to tune into the 'airborne sounds' these beings emitted and to the 'endless music sung everywhere'. 
  More than a hundred years after Abyakta's publication, Sumana Roy, in a translation that is nuanced, tender and rich in lyricism, brings to readers Bose's legacy - his body of work engaging with the natural world's innate intelligence. His views, dismissed as idiosyncratic and unscientific when he was alive, have only gained in significance over time, as climate experts call for a plant-sentience-led approach to conservation. By provocatively challenging a hierarchy of living beings where flora and fauna get relegated to the bottom, and by reminding us of the need to approach the issue of sustainability through the lens of compassion, Bose's work remains relevant, urgent and, in many ways, prophetic.

  The Hunger Code - Resetting Your...

  For generations, we've accepted the story that weight loss can never last—that as soon as we go off the diet or stop taking the medication, we revert to our old habits, regain the weight, and the calorie-counting journey starts all over again. Traditional medicine continues to treat the symptom of weight gain rather than addressing its root causes. Too often, healthcare systems intervene with quick fixes and short-term solutions, ignoring the factors that lead to sustainable weight loss that can last a lifetime.
   
  
   
  What if the secret to long-term weight maintenance and better health isn’t just about what you eat—or even when you eat—but why you eat?
   
  
   
  With the food industry's reliance on ultra-processed foods and the popularity of Ozempic and Mounjaro, understanding the forces behind why we eat is more important than ever before.
   
  
   
  In The Hunger Code, New York Times bestselling author Dr. Jason Fung reveals the three powerful forces that drive us to eat:
   
  
   
  - Physical Hunger
   
  
   
  - Emotional Hunger
   
  
   
  - Social Hunger
   
  
   
  Dr. Fung also introduces the concept of the body’s “fat thermostat”—a biological “set point” that regulates how much fat your body tries to maintain. Guided by hormones and metabolism, this internal system drives hunger and energy use, explaining why lasting weight loss requires more than just willpower …
   
  
   
  With three Golden Rules and 50 actionable tips, The Hunger Code empowers you to recognize and respond to hunger appropriately. Learn how to slow digestion, break emotional eating cycles, and overcome social pressures to eat constantly, so you can maintain a healthy weight—from scratch, after fasting, or after using weight-loss drugs.
