  This memoir of buying and transforming an abandoned olive farm “describes life in the South of France with lush, voluptuous appreciation” (Publishers Weekly). Presented with an opportunity to purchase a ten-acre property near Cannes, actress Carol Drinkwater and her film-producer fiancé, Michel, decide to take the plunge. It will take all their savings just for the down payment, but the beauty of the surrounding countryside and the promise of a new adventure seem worth the risk. As they work to clear the weeds and rehabilitate the abandoned farm, they meet Provence’s quirky locals, puzzle through France’s legal bureaucracy, explore the nearby Mediterranean islands, and encounter the region’s wildlife. This colorful memoir from the Sunday Times–bestselling author recounts one couple’s remarkable journey from being inspired but inexperienced new landowners to realizing their dream of a fulfilling, peaceful life on their own little plot of paradise. “Good-humored and well-written.” —The Washington Post “A fantasy come true, as it will be for many of the readers who yearn to experience the magic of southern France.” —The Austin Chronicle

  For over half a century, DNA has dominated science and the popular imagination as the "secret of life." But over the last several decades, a quiet revolution has taken place. In a series of breathtaking discoveries, the biochemist Thomas R. Cech and a diverse cast of brilliant scientists have revealed that RNA—long overlooked as the passive servant of DNA—sits at the center of biology's greatest mysteries: How did life begin? What makes us human? Why do we get sick and grow old? In The Catalyst, Cech finally brings together years of research to demonstrate that RNA is the true key to understanding life on Earth, from its very origins to our future in the twenty-first century. 
   
   
   
  A gripping journey of discovery, The Catalyst moves from the early experiments that first hinted at RNA's spectacular powers, to Cech's own paradigm-shifting finding that it can catalyze cellular reactions, to the cutting-edge biotechnologies poised to reshape our health. We learn how RNA may have jump-started life itself, and how, at the same time, it can cut our individual lives short through viral diseases and cancer. We see how RNA is implicated in the aging process and explore the darker depths of the supposed fountain of youth, telomerase. And we catch a thrilling glimpse into how RNA-powered therapies may enable us to improve and even extend life beyond nature's current limits.

  How on earth am I supposed to go on? How can I ever feel happy again? I just want to curl up in the foetal position and die. – These are the thoughts swirling within the mind of someone grappling with the aftermath of a devastating loss.  
  Emotions so real, they threaten to break you …Why?...you have suffered a trauma. 
   In "Why Me," embark on an emotional journey of a mother whose life has been shattered by an unimaginable tragedy, —the sudden and tragic death of her beloved daughter.  
  This book is a must-read for anyone. It is a testament to the human spirit in the face of adversity. You will come to understand and learn that 'you aren't going mad', and that the intensity you are feeling does not have to last forever. 
  Acquainted with the shattered pieces of the heart, she recognizes the profound heartbreak and soul-deep emptiness that loss can inflict. However, unlike our ancestors, who had no support, more and more research is being undertaken to understand why we feel the way we feel, and why we think the way we do. 
  Wendy offers empathy and understanding, as well as a roadmap that you didn't think was available. How? Understanding trauma and cultivating self-awareness are essential steps on the path to healing. 
   Part one is her story, and Part two contains the answers you need to know to the burning questions you have to navigate your life through this new reality. Wendy can't erase your pain, she'll empower you to embrace and navigate it. Through her guidance, you'll discover a pathway forward, where the intensity of suffering gradually lessens, paving the way for newfound strength and resilience and a new perspective. 
   It is a story of survival, — a story that lingers in the soul, offering solace and inspiration long after the final page is turned. 
  ‘If you trust life, it can surprise you.’ – Wendy B King
