    Quantum Bullsh*t - How to Ruin...

    Science is so f*cking rad. We don't deserve it. 
     
     
     
    What actually is quantum physics? If you can answer that questions without bullsh*tting the person standing next to you in the bookstore, you can stop listening right now. But although most of us don't actually understand quantum physics, and if we understood it we'd probably be rich and beautiful and happy, right? After all, there are plenty of people out there trying to sell you quantum crystals to align your quantum energy with your quantum destiny. Can they all be wrong? 
     
     
     
    Spoiler: yes. Yes, they can. There is no such thing as quantum crystals. Sorry! 
     
     
     
    Luckily, as pseudo-science takes over the internet and it's getting harder and harder to separate alternative facts from real science, Chris Ferrie (an actual quantum physicist!) is here to explain quantum physics in a way that makes sense, so you can see the hucksters and bullsh*tters coming from a mile away—and school them in what quantum entanglement actually is (it has nothing to do with your romantic life). If you f*cking love science and want to be slightly less dumb than you were when you woke up this morning, Quantum Bullsh*t is the truly out-of-this-world book for you.

    A virus changed the world. This is the story of how we fought back—and what we learned about ourselves. 
    Breathless is a gripping, deeply human chronicle of the COVID-19 pandemic and the scientific race to stop it. From the earliest warnings in Wuhan to the discovery of life-saving vaccines, this powerful narrative takes you behind the scenes with the scientists, doctors, and unsung heroes who worked against the clock to decode the virus, track its mutations, and bring hope to a locked-down world. 
    But this is more than a story of a virus. It’s a mirror reflecting global systems—how we prepare, how we respond, and how we adapt. Through compelling storytelling and real-time insights, Breathless explores the breakthroughs, the failures, and the resilience that emerged from one of the most defining events of our time.

    Miner's Day is a testament to coal mining communities in the mid-twentieth century. First published by Penguin Books as a slim paperback in 1945, it married a reflective text by Britain's outstanding miner-writer, B. L. Coombes, to illustrations by the artist Isabel Alexander.
    The original text is now republished in a generous new format with a substantial introduction and the full wealth of images that Isabel Alexander made in an extended project to document people and places in the South Wales coalfield – a unique addition to the visual representation of mining communities.
    Bert Coombes in words and Isabel Alexander in images each aimed to reveal the layered reality of coal-mining communities to a distant public. They documented both work below ground and devastated environments above. They described the lives not just of working men but women, children and older people too. They saw poverty and despair but also love, hope and even humour. The South Wales they captured echoes similar communities across the world and evolving global challenges to health, work and environment. Miner's Day is as relevant now as it was in 1945.
