  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 Moffatt
  '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

  The Digital Revolution -...

  The origins of the digital revolution can be traced back to several key developments in technology, many of which were shaped by visionary thinkers and groundbreaking innovations. At the heart of this transformation was the invention of the computer, a device that would later evolve into the complex machines that now permeate every aspect of modern life. Early computing, which began in the 1930s and 1940s, was initially limited to large, cumbersome machines used by governments and research institutions. These machines, like the ENIAC and the UNIVAC, were monumental in size and expensive to maintain, but they laid the groundwork for the digital age that would follow. 
  The true revolution, however, began with the development of the microprocessor in the 1970s. This small, powerful component allowed computers to shrink in size, becoming affordable for individuals and small businesses. Companies like Intel and AMD played pivotal roles in creating chips that would power everything from personal computers to smartphones. The release of the first microprocessor-powered personal computers in the late 1970s and early 1980s, such as the Apple II and the IBM PC, marked the beginning of a new era in computing. 
  Parallel to the rise of personal computing was the development of the internet, which would fundamentally change how people connect with one another and access information. The internet's roots can be traced to the 1960s, when the U.S. Department of Defense developed ARPANET, a network designed to share information across computers in a decentralized manner. As the internet expanded during the 1990s, it transformed from a tool for academic and government use into a platform for businesses and individuals alike. The introduction of the World Wide Web, developed by Tim Berners-Lee in 1991, made the internet more accessible and user-friendly, leading to the explosion of online content and services that would define the digital age.

  Physics - A Very Short Introduction

  Sidney Perkowitz

  • 0

  Physics, the fundamental science of matter and energy, encompasses all levels of nature from the subatomic to the cosmic, and underlies much of the technology around us. Understanding the physics of our universe is an essential aspect of humanity's quest to understand our environment and our place within it. Doing physics enables us to explore the interaction between environment and human society, and can help us to work towards the future sustainability of the planet. 
   
   
   
  This Very Short Introduction provides an overview of how this pervasive science came to be and how it works: who funds it, how physicists are trained and how they think, and how physics supports the technology we all use. Sidney Perkowitz presents the theories and outcomes of pure and applied physics from ideas of the Greek natural philosophers to modern quantum mechanics, cosmology, digital electronics, and energy production. Considering its most consequential experiments, including recent results in elementary particles, gravitational waves and materials science, he also discusses outside the lab, the effects of physics on society, culture, and humanity's vision of its place in the universe.
