  First published in the late nineteenth century, The Chocolate-Plant (Theobroma cacao) and Its Products is a thorough and fascinating examination of one of the world’s most important—and beloved—plants. 
  Beginning with cacao’s origins in pre-Columbian Mesoamerica and its rapid spread through Europe, this work traces chocolate’s journey from indigenous drink to global commodity. It explores the botany of the cacao tree in careful detail, explaining its growth, flowering, pod-bearing habits, and the conditions required for successful cultivation. The book then follows cacao from harvest through fermentation, drying, roasting, and grinding, offering a clear account of how raw beans are transformed into chocolate and cocoa. 
  Blending science with industry, the text examines the chemical composition of cacao—including cocoa butter, starches, proteins, minerals, and theobromine—while addressing purity, quality, and digestibility. It argues for chocolate’s value not merely as a luxury, but as a genuine and nourishing food. The closing chapters turn practical, presenting period-authentic culinary guidance and recipes for preparing chocolate and cocoa for drinks, desserts, and confections. 
  Narrated by Jerry Dugan, this audiobook preserves a rare Victorian-era perspective on food science, industrial craftsmanship, and culinary tradition, making it an essential listen for anyone interested in food history, agricultural science, or the origins of modern chocolate.

  Smart Trader: The Psychology and...

  Trading is often painted as a world of numbers, algorithms, and quick decisions. But behind the charts and tickers lies something much deeper—the mind of the trader. I have written The Smart Trader to explore this often overlooked aspect of trading, where psychology, discipline, and emotion meet strategy, risk, and execution. 
  Over the years, I’ve met countless traders who knew all the right strategies, had all the technical tools at their disposal, and yet, struggled to make consistent profits. Why? Because trading is not just about understanding the markets. It’s about understanding yourself. Success in trading is rooted in mastering your emotions, managing your impulses, and remaining disciplined through uncertainty. 
  This book is divided into two parts, each designed to guide you through this complex world. The first half focuses on the psychological principles that every trader must embrace—discipline, patience, risk management, and mindfulness. These traits are not only necessary for survival in the market but also for long-term success. 
  The second half transitions into the technical side of trading, where I explore the strategies that work in real-time intraday markets. But I won’t just be presenting these in a dry, technical manner. You’ll learn through the journeys of Bill, Elon, Steve, and Jeff—traders who each have their strengths and flaws, just like all of us. Their experiences are meant to be relatable, and through them, you’ll see how psychology and strategy blend together in the fast-paced world of derivatives and crypto trading. 
  Thank you for picking up The Smart Trader. Let’s begin the adventure.

  A "skillful, literate" (New York Times Book Review) biography of the persecuted genius who helped create the modern computer 
  To solve one of the great mathematical problems of his day, Alan Turing proposed an imaginary computer. Then, attempting to break a Nazi code during World War II, he successfully designed and built one, thus ensuring the Allied victory. Turing became a champion of artificial intelligence, but his work was cut short. As an openly gay man at a time when homosexuality was illegal in England, he was convicted and forced to undergo a humiliating "treatment" that may have led to his suicide. 
  With a novelist's sensitivity, David Leavitt portrays Turing in all his humanity—his eccentricities, his brilliance, his fatal candor—and elegantly explains his work and its implications.

  Paranoia: A Journey Into Extreme...

  'A TRULY IMPORTANT BOOK’ JOHN HUMPHRYS 
  'FASCINATING… SHOCKING' SPECTATOR 
  What is paranoia? What makes us mistrustful? How can this be overcome? 
  Daniel Freeman, Professor of Psychology at Oxford, has spent thirty years at the vanguard of paranoia research and treatment. This remarkable and moving book tells the story of that journey. 
  For decades, conventional wisdom held that paranoia was only experienced by people with severe mental health problems and little could be done to rectify its disastrous effects. Paranoia gives us a front row seat as Freeman turns the traditional view on its head. 
  He develops life-changing treatments for clinical paranoia – often using state-of-the-art technology like virtual reality. He reveals that suspicion is rife in society, with paranoia widespread, conspiracy theories rampant and emotion all too often trumping evidence. He discovers the causes of mistrust, including the role of genes, trauma, lack of sleep, worry, low self-confidence, cannabis use and hearing voices, and delves into the murky world of Covid-19 conspiracy theories. Lighting up the narrative throughout are the rarely heard voices of people whose lives have been almost wrecked by paranoia – and then in many cases transformed by Freeman’s groundbreaking treatments. 
  This is also a practical book. Freeman shows how we can measure our own levels of mistrust. He explains how we can remedy things if those levels are higher than we’d like, because although mistrust can seem engrained, things can change for the better. Ultimately, it can be overcome. Compelling and compassionate, this is a gripping tale from the front line of suspicion – an impassioned plea for the urgent rebuilding of trust between us all. 
  Daniel Freeman's Paranoia is a compelling mix of autobiography, neuroscience, and social science. It offers a deep understanding of paranoia, its medical implications, and the anxieties and phobias it can cause, providing self-help strategies for patients. 
  For fans of Irvin D. Yalom (Hour of the Heart), Eileen Horne (Zola and the Victorians), Jonathan Haidt (The Righteous Mind), Benji Waterhouse (You Don't Have to Be Mad to Work Here), and Viktor E. Frankl (Embracing Hope).
