  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

  Conquering Childhood Anemia -...

  Anemia is one of the most common nutritional deficiencies affecting children worldwide, and among its various forms, iron deficiency anemia stands out as the most prevalent. Understanding what anemia is and how it impacts a child’s growth and development is the first step in effectively addressing and managing it. 
  At its core, anemia is a condition in which the body doesn't have enough healthy red blood cells or hemoglobin to carry adequate oxygen to the body’s tissues. Hemoglobin is an essential protein in red blood cells that binds to oxygen and transports it from the lungs to the rest of the body. When iron levels are too low, the body cannot produce enough hemoglobin, leading to symptoms such as fatigue, weakness, irritability, and a noticeable decline in energy and attention span. In children, these symptoms can have a serious impact on their physical and cognitive development. 
  Iron plays a crucial role in a child’s growth. Beyond its function in making hemoglobin, iron is also necessary for brain development, muscle function, and the production of certain hormones. In growing kids, especially during periods of rapid development like infancy and adolescence, the demand for iron increases significantly. When this demand isn’t met through diet or supplementation, iron stores in the body begin to deplete, resulting in iron deficiency anemia. This is why children are particularly vulnerable during these critical windows of growth.

  What a Bee Knows - Exploring the...

  For many of us, the buzzing of a bee elicits panic. But the next time you hear that low droning sound, look closer: the bee has navigated to this particular spot for a reason using a fascinating set of tools. She may be using her sensitive olfactory organs, which provide a 3D scent map of her surroundings. She may be following visual landmarks or instructions relayed by a hive-mate. She may even be tracking electrostatic traces left on flowers by other bees. What a Bee Knows: Exploring the Thoughts, Memories, and Personalities of Bees invites us to follow bees' mysterious paths and experience their alien world. 
   
   
   
  Although their brains are incredibly small—just one million neurons compared to humans' one hundred billion—bees have remarkable abilities to navigate, learn, communicate, and remember. In What a Bee Knows, entomologist Stephen Buchmann explores a bee's way of seeing the world and introduces the scientists who make the journey possible. We travel into the field and to the laboratories of noted bee biologists who have spent their careers digging into the questions most of us never thought to ask (for example: Do bees dream? And if so, why?). With each discovery, Buchmann's insatiable curiosity and sense of wonder is infectious.
