Vaxxers: A Pioneering Moment in Scientific History
THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER AND RADIO 4 BOOK OF THE WEEK
*Chosen as a Book of the Year by the Financial Times, Sunday Times, Daily Mail, Prospect, Guardian and The Times*
This is the story of a race – not against other vaccines or other scientists, but against a deadly and devastating virus.
On 1 January 2020, Sarah Gilbert, Professor of Vaccinology at Oxford University, read an article about four people in China with a strange pneumonia. Within two weeks, she and her team had designed a vaccine against a pathogen that no one had ever seen before. Less than 12 months later, vaccination was rolled out across the world to save millions of lives from Covid-19.
In Vaxxers, we hear directly from Professor Gilbert and her colleague Dr Catherine Green as they reveal the inside story of making the Oxford AstraZeneca vaccine and the cutting-edge science and sheer hard work behind it.
This is their story of fighting a pandemic as ordinary people in extraordinary circumstances. Sarah and Cath share the heart-stopping moments in the eye of the storm; they separate fact from fiction; they explain how they made a highly effective vaccine in record time with the eyes of the world watching; and they give us hope for the future.
Vaxxers invites us into the lab to find out how science will save us from this pandemic, and how we can prepare for the inevitable next one.

Grayson Perry: Portrait Of The Artist As A Young Girl
Every inch of Grayson’s childhood bedroom was covered with pictures of aeroplanes, and every surface with models. Fantasy took over his life, in a world of battles ruled by his teddy bear, Alan Measles. He grew up. And in 2003, an acclaimed ceramic artist, he accepted the Turner Prize as his alter-ego Clare, wearing his best dress, with a bow in his hair.
Now he tells his own story, his voice beautifully caught by his friend, the writer Wendy Jones. Early childhood in Chelmsford, Essex is a rural Eden that ends abruptly with the arrival of his stepfather, leading to constant swerving between his parents’ houses, and between boys’ and women’s clothes. But as Grayson enters art college and discovers the world of London squats and New Romanticism, he starts to find himself. At last he steps out as a potter and transvestite.

Attached: Are you Anxious, Avoidant or Secure? How the science of adult attachment can help you find – and keep – love
An insightful look at the science behind love, Attached offers readers a road map for building stronger, more fulfilling connections.
‘A groundbreaking book that redefines what it means to be in a relationship.’ – John Gray, PhD., bestselling author of Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus
Is there a science to love? In this groundbreaking book, psychiatrist and neuroscientist Amir Levine and psychologist Rachel S. F. Heller reveal how an understanding of attachment theory – the most advanced relationship science in existence today – can help us find and sustain love.
Pioneered by psychologist John Bowlby in the 1950s, the field of attachment explains that each of us behaves in relationships in one of three distinct ways:
Anxious people are often preoccupied with their relationships and tend to worry about their partner’s ability to love them back.
Avoidant people equate intimacy with a loss of independence and constantly try to minimize closeness.
Secure people feel comfortable with intimacy and are usually warm and loving.
With fascinating psychological insight, quizzes and case studies, Dr Amir Levine and Rachel Heller help you understand the three attachment styles, identify your own and recognize the styles of others so that you can find compatible partners or improve your existing relationship.

Fit For Purpose: The best book on opening and running your own gym. (Gym Business, Fitness Startup, Managing Gym, Opening Gym, Gym Classes,)
I wrote this book to share my extensive experience in opening and running a successful gym.
We opened our first CrossFit gym in November 2014 in the City of London and it quickly became a wonderful success – so much so that we opened our second gym in December 2017. I hope to share this story with others, to inspire and guide them with practical insights on this business and the world of fitness.My prospective readers are other ambitious fitness professionals who are hungry to open their own dream gym. This book will save them from stress and confusion and will provide them with clarity, structure and a far deeper understanding of the fitness business. The book covers all aspects of planning a new gym and then looks at running that gym once it is opened. I want other people to benefit from my experience. I want them to be able to avoid unnecessary mistakes and have complete awareness of all essential parts of the gym business. By having a good structure and clear overall picture of what they need to focus on, they will be calmer, more confident in their actions and their efforts will be smarter and directed wisely. Because of this, I had to write this book! I’ll be very pleased to see other happy gym business owners who are doing well – hopefully at least partly, because of my book. I want to leave a legacy, I don’t want to take my experience with me and never share it.
My book is divided into two parts. “Before opening the doors” and “After opening the doors for the first time”.
The first part focusses on:
- What we had to go through to secure the premises
- How we raised the money and attracted investors for our dream project
- What was important in picking the right space
- What fitness concept to run so we positively impacted as many people as possible and simultaneously made the most of our premises
- How we branded and designed our small cozy gym
- What equipment we purchased
- What marketing strategies we executed in order to build our subscription membership
- And many other elements which were crucial in setting up the gym.
The second part of my book focusses on the actual running of the gym, after we opened the doors for the first time. Running a gym is very different from opening and setting up a gym. There are different skills needed for both parts of the business process. One person may be great at setting up the gym but a very poor manager who struggles to deal with all the day-to-day tasks and people management.
Both parts are challenging but for very different reasons. I describe:
- How important it is to find and pick the right coaches
- The importance of the role the coaches play in our business
- How important the manager is in keeping caring staff onboard
- What successful fitness programming should include
- The importance of communication within staff and with members
- The enormous impact of building a community
- Which essential booking and payment systems to have
- Which marketing channels we engaged with to really spread the word about our amazing gym, fitness concept and community
- And many other things which together complete an elegant and well-functioning business.
This book is a must for any ambitious people who dream about having their own gym, living life on their terms, taking charge and making a difference to many people along the way. Take action and download this book now

Treating Ankle Sprains and Strains: Complete with Prevention and Rehabilitation Strategies: Volume 1 (The Physical Therapy Advisor’s Guide)
HAVE YOU EVER INJURED YOUR ANKLE AND ICED IT LIKE YOU’RE “SUPPOSED TO,” AND THEN LATER DOWN THE ROAD YOU RE-INJURE IT YET AGAIN?
Yes! Ankle sprains and strains are a common everyday occurrence and even the mildest of sprains can temporarily affect your training and mobility. A sprain/strain can lead to chronic issues and loss of performance later in life when not properly cared for and managed. Severe cases can lead to lengthy rehabilitation and even surgery.
Icing alone won’t heal the injury over time, and then the doctor bills start to add up as you seek help. With the cost of healthcare on the rise and no sign of that trend improving, it’s even more necessary to learn how to safely self-treat and manage common musculoskeletal and mobility related conditions.
How about a better way to safely self-treat and manage an ankle sprain/strain?
When you can confidently self-treat, you can limit pain levels, return to activity faster, prevent reoccurrences, and save money! In Treating Ankle Sprains and Strains, you will learn how to confidently self-treat in order to resume your training and normal activities without the risk of additional damage, injury or re-injury.
I will walk you through the treatment plan on how to rehabilitate your ankle by beginning with the acute phase of rehabilitation through the intermediate (sub-acute) phase of rehabilitation and concluding with a return to full activity and sport. In this step-by-step rehabilitation guide (complete with photos and detailed exercise descriptions), you will discover how to implement prevention and rehabilitation strategies so that you can safely return to activity. Let’s get started!

Nurses and Nursing (Britain’s Heritage)
Nurses and nursing are firmly rooted in Britain’s heritage, for the profession as we know it today owes much to the pioneering work of Florence Nightingale. Before she helped establish the first nurse training school in Liverpool in the late 1800s, the women who looked after the sick were a motley mix. The role of the nurse has developed from the untrained handywoman and private nurse, through the early nurses who acted as ‘health missioners’, to the highly trained professionals we recognise today. Nurse training has evolved to reflect the advances in medical treatment and nurses have been able to engage more widely with the community by undergoing additional training as, for example, district nurses, school nurses, midwives, health visitors and mental health nurses. During both world wars, nurses made a special contribution on the home front and overseas. Using first-hand accounts from nurses through the ages, Susan Cohen takes us on a nostalgic journey through the history of nurses and nursing in Britain, from the pre-Nightingale days through to the post-NHS era. This book is part of the Britain’s Heritage series, which provides definitive introductions to the riches of Britain’s past, and is the perfect way to get acquainted with nurses and nursing in all their variety.Read more

ALL AT SEA
Shortlisted for the 2017 PEN Ackerley Prize
The thing to remember about this story is that every word is true. If I never told it to a soul, and this book did not exist, it would not cease to be true. I don t mind at all if you forget this.
The important thing is that I don t.
On a hot still morning on a beautiful beach in Jamaica, Decca Aitkenhead s life changed for ever.
Her four-year-old boy was paddling peacefully at the water s edge when a wave pulled him out to sea. Her partner, Tony, swam out and saved their son s life then drowned before her eyes.
When Decca and Tony first met a decade earlier, they became the most improbable couple in London. She was an award-winning Guardian journalist, famous for interviewing leading politicians. He was a dreadlocked criminal with a history of drug-dealing and violence. No one thought the romance would last, but it did. Until the tide swept Tony away, plunging Decca into the dark chasm of random tragedy.
Exploring race and redemption, privilege and prejudice, ALL AT SEA is a remarkable story of love and loss, of how one couple changed each other s lives and of what a sudden death can do to the people who survive.

Mind The Gap: The truth about desire and how to futureproof your sex life
‘This book taught me so much about female desire. A must read!’ Cherry Healey
Did you know that there is an orgasm gap of around 30% between heterosexual couples when they have sex?
In Mind The Gap, Dr Karen Gurney, a clinical psychologist and certified psychosexologist, explores not just this gap, but the gaps in our knowledge of so much of the most important new science around sex and desire.
In this book, you will learn that nearly everything that you’ve been led to believe about female sexuality isn’t actually true. And that, despite what you might think, it is possible to simultaneously feel little to no spontaneous desire and have a happy and mutually satisfying sex life long term.
Exploring the mismatch between ideas about sex in our society and what the science tells us, Mind The Gap also explains how this disconnect lies at the root of many of our sexual problems.
Combining science with case studies, practical exercises and tips, this is a book for anyone who wants to better understand the mechanics of desire and futureproof their sex life, for life.
