  • The Language of Healing - Understanding Stem Cells Regenerative Medicine and the Science of Aging Well - cover

    The Language of Healing -...

    Ever heard a stem cell book written for patients — not to sell you a treatment, but to tell you the truth? 
      
    Neither had Dr. Kirk Sanford. So he wrote one, and dedicated 100% of the proceeds to a fund providing regenerative care for active military and veterans. 
      
    Regenerative medicine may be the most promising and most misunderstood frontier in health today. Patients are caught between breathless hype, dense textbooks, and clinic brochures dressed up as education. The Language of Healing finally sits down with you and explains it plainly. 
      
    At its heart is one powerful idea: your body isn't a machine to be repaired — it's a conversation. Stem cells heal by signaling, calming inflammation, rebalancing the immune system, and telling your body's own repair machinery what to do. Once you understand that, the entire field comes into focus. 
      
    What sets this book apart is its candor. It walks through the conditions people ask about most — joints, spine, neuropathy, autoimmune disease, cognitive decline, long COVID, and aging itself — and tells you exactly where the evidence is strong, where it's emerging, and where it's still unproven. No miracle claims. No fear-mongering. 
      
    Whether you're a patient weighing your options, a caregiver, or simply someone who wants to age well, this audiobook gives you something rare: the truth, in language you can follow. 
      
    The science is real. The hope is real. And so are the limits. This book helps you tell them apart.

    ‘An extraordinary treasure trove’ Andrew Marr 
    A unique collection of unpublished letters from the climbing legend George Mallory to his family, revealing his innermost thoughts about people, places and mountains. 
    On the 8th of June, 1924, George Mallory and Sandy Irvine were seen through a telescope on the upper slopes of Mount Everest. They were never seen alive again. In 1999, Mallory’s body was found below the ridge where he was last seen. In the 100 years since his disappearance, many words have been written about Mallory, but very little has ever been published of his own thoughts. 
    Letters from Everest is an eye opening set of personal letters from Mallory to his family, collected and published for the first time by his great-nephew. In the letters, Mallory is completely open about his life, his climbing and especially the three Everest Expeditions he was a part of – 1921, 1922 and the last in 1924. His writing is full of extraordinary insights – most of which have never been published in any form. They are a unique collection – an actual reflection, possibly the one and only, of the thoughts of a climbing legend who walked into history a century ago. 
    In this non-fiction biography, Mallory's letters reveal the raw and unfiltered thoughts of a man who dared to challenge nature. His experiences, his fears, his triumphs, all laid bare in this literary collection, make Letters from Everest a must-read for anyone fascinated by the world of mountaineering and exploration.

    'Refreshingly clear-eyed … Faking It is an insightful and intelligent book that's a must for those looking for facts about AI hype.' – Books+Publishing
    'AI will be as big a game-changer as the smart phone and the personal computer – or bigger! This book will help you navigate the revolution.' – Dr Karl Kruszelnicki
    Artificial intelligence is, as the name suggests, artificial and fundamentally different to human intelligence. Yet often the goal of AI is to fake human intelligence. This deceit has been there from the very beginning. We've been trying to fake it since Alan Turing answered the question 'Can machines think?' by proposing that machines pretend to be humans.
    Now we are starting to build AI that truly deceives us. Powerful AIs such as ChatGPT can convince us they are intelligent and blur the distinction between what is real and what is simulated. In reality, they lack true understanding, sentience and common sense. But this doesn't mean they can't change the world.
    Can AI systems ever be creative? Can they be moral? What can we do to ensure they are not harmful? In this fun and fascinating book, Professor Toby Walsh explores all the ways AI fakes it, and what this means for humanity – now and in the future.

Once translated, the language of biological rhythms can be used to improve health and productivity—by athletes, travelers, and shift workers, sufferers of fatigue or sleep disorders, or those wishing to lose weight, monitor infection, or time fertility—in short, anyone with an interest in reading and understanding the body's vital signs.
