The Liver Doctor - Stories of...

Cyriac Abby Philips

'Blending science with narrative non-fiction, he examines the myths, misinformation, and missed opportunities that continue to shape liver health in India.' 
 - Tej Prakash Bhardwaj, The New Indian Express 
 
I did not become a doctor to help people cheat death, but to help them understand it. 
In The Liver Doctor, Dr Cyriac Abby Philips, expert hepatologist and one of India's most vocal advocates of science-led medicine, tells us the fascinating story of the least understood, most indispensable and only self-regenerating organ in the human body-the liver.  
With the searing precision of a scientist, the empathy of a doctor who witnesses the fragility of the human body every day and the dogged curiosity of a detective, Dr Philips dives into ancient myths and legends through various cultures, the annals of history as well as his own deeply personal encounters from his life as a doctor, taking his readers on a wondrous journey where belief collides with data and hope is tested against prognosis.  
Along the way, he asks the uncomfortable questions that modern physicians often avoid: How much certainty should medicine promise? When does treatment become harm? And how do doctors and caregivers live with decisions that cannot be undone?  
In the end, The Liver Doctor becomes a treatise on the history and evolution of medical science itself-one that will leave you informed and poignantly unsettled, long after the last page is turned.

Counting: Humans History and the...

Benjamin Wardhaugh

SHORTLISTED FOR THE BRITISH SOCIETY FOR THE HISTORY OF SCIENCE PRIZE 2025
SHORTLISTED FOR THE NEUMANN PRIZE 2025
WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO COUNT? WHY ARE HUMANS THE ONLY SPECIES ON EARTH THAT CAN DO IT? WHERE DID COUNTING COME FROM? HOW HAS IT SHAPED SOCIETIES ALONG THE WAY? AND WHY DOES IT MATTER?
Counting is an innovative, erudite, world-wrapping journey through humanity’s marvellous ability to impose numbers on things. Acclaimed historian and mathematician Benjamin Wardhaugh draws on stories from the Stone Age to cyberspace in pursuit of the elusive, fascinating, endlessly diverse history of human counting.
Starting with the roots of counting in human brains, bodies and environments, Wardhaugh tours us around the world and through time while exploring the different flavours of counting that have developed over millennia. We meet the makers of bead necklaces in ancient South Africa, the inventors of writing in the world ’ s first metropolis, and the ‘counter culture’ of classical Athens. We see counting used – and changed – by Indian scholars, Chinese peasants and Papuan shopkeepers; we meet the distinctive numerate agendas of Mayan kings, US governments and Korean vloggers.
Weaving these stories together, Wardhaugh shows how cultures have shaped counting, and how counting has shaped culture, in a rich tapestry spanning thousands of years. This is the vast story of human attempts to find some order in an unruly world; or, perhaps, to impose on a reluctant world the order that humans find within themselves. It is a history as wide, deep and tangled as that of humanity itself
In Counting, Benjamin Wardhaugh masterfully intertwines philosophy, science, and anthropology to further delve into the intricacies of our numerical world. The book not only explores the mathematical aspects of counting but also its social and cultural implications, making it a must-read for anyone interested in the evolution of civilisation.
For fans of David Spiegelhalter (The Art of Uncertainty), Cat Bohannon (Eve), Rory Stewart (The Marches), Anne Applebaum (Autocracy, Inc), and Peter Frankopan (The New Silk Roads).

What Happens When You Sleep: One...

Scientific Horizons

You spend a third of your life asleep, and you have almost no idea what goes on in there. Why do you surface at 3 a.m. for no reason? Why was last night's dream so vivid, and why did it vanish by breakfast?

This audiobook walks you through one full night, hour by hour, in the spirit of Why We Sleep. You'll hear how your brain runs a night-shift cleaning crew during deep sleep, how memory filing quietly decides what you keep from yesterday, and how REM sleep works like a film editor cutting the day's footage into dreams. Each stage comes with a tangible everyday analogy and a gentle takeaway for your own days, from light and caffeine timing to why that late-night wake is usually normal. Where the science is still unsettled, you'll hear that plainly.

By the hormonal sunrise that wakes you, a night of sleep will finally make sense. Press play tonight, and meet the version of you that works while you rest.

The View From Rat Lake

John Gierach

Brilliant, witty, perceptive essays about fly-fishing, the natural world, and life in general by the acknowledged master of fishing writers. 
 
 
 
"In the world of fishing there are magic phrases that are guaranteed to summon the demon. Among them are: 'remote trout lake,' 'fish up to thirteen pounds,' 'the place the guides fish on their days off,'" writes John Gierach in this wonderful collection of thirteen essays inspired by a fishing trip to Rat Lake, a remote body of water in Montana. Once again John Gierach does what he does best—explain the peculiarities of the fishing life in a way that will amuse novices and seasoned fly fishers alike. The View from Rat Lake deftly examines man in nature and nature in man, the pleasures of fishing the high country, and the high and low comedy that occasionally overcomes even the best-planned fishing trip.
