COOKERY / HEALTH

Healthy food that children will actually eat?

Most parents would go to the moon and back for the secret…

With new babies, parents are usually super health- conscious about feeding but as children get bigger and life gets busier, organic veg purées become a distant memory and, before you know it, they are living off pizza and chips. It doesn’t have to be like that.

Drawing on her 20 years of clinical practice, naturopath and child nutrition expert Lucinda Miller offers a series of simple positive steps that will help your child build a positive relationship with food and have huge benefits for their long-term health and well-being.

From Courgette Brownies to Brain-Boosting Pancakes, there is something here for everyone. Try The Good Stuff – it’s a recipe for happiness!

Recent research has shown that children’s brain and body development continues until they are well into their twenties. What they eat now lays down the foundations of their future health.

THE GOOD STUFFNutritious recipes to give your child the best start in life… and make meal times a joyLucinda Miller

* Reduce sugar cravings

* Banish fussy eating

* Nurture balance & calm

Douglas Rogers is an award-winning journalist and travel writer. He wrote The

Last Resort: A memoir of Zimbabwe (2010). He was born and raised in Zimbabwe and now lives in Brooklyn, New York.

THE FALL OF MUGABEThree weeks in November – the final days of the 20th century’s last tyrantDouglas Rogers “I pulled up as a soldier wielding a Kalashnikov approached. He leaned in the open window. ‘Got any bombs?’ he asked. Then he burst out laughing, offered me a fist bump and waved me on.”

Combining close cultural analysis and personal anecdotes, this book tells the incredible story of the three weeks in November 2017 when Mugabe fell from power.

Douglas Rogers spent his youth and early adult life watching his parents struggle to make ends meet under the vicious dictator, Robert Mugabe. He thought he would never see the day when Mugabe’s iron grip on the country would come unstuck.

Written in the style of a contemporary political thriller, The Fall of Mugabe is also a ripping historical account of Zimbabwe’s chequered and difficult past and a moving memoir of a journalist’s life-long relationship with the country he was born in.

Surreal, strange, sinister but often very funny, this is above all a testament to Douglas Roger’s love for, and loyalty to, the people of Zimbabwe.

Giles Whittell is a leader and feature writer on The Times, where he has worked as correspon-dent since 1993. He has written four previous books – Extreme Continental, Central Asia, Lambasa County and Spitfire Women of World War II. He lives in south London.

SNOWAn encyclopedia of snow on earthGiles Whittell

* How many snowflakes does it take to build a snowman?* Why does it feel so good to watch snow fall? * Will it survive global warming?* What was the greatest snowstorm in history?

Snow has a lot in common with religion. It comes from heaven. It changes every-thing. It creates an alternative reality and brings on irrational behaviour in humans. But unlike most religions, snow has never had a bible, until now.

In this lively and engaging book, Giles Whittell, a passionate snow enthusiast, takes the reader on a quest across centuries and continents in search of the meaning of snow. Along the way he reveals the mystery of temperature-dependent crystal mor-phology, how avalanches happen, the definitive number of Inuit words for snow and the terrifying truth about the opening ceremony of the 1960 winter Olympics.

This book is for people who are obsessed with snow, worried that it’s all going to melt or who just want more of it in their lives. It’s the next best thing to a white Christmas, an anthropology and travelogue for everyone from ski addicts to the half of the world’s population that has never seen snow.

SINGING IN THE RAINA happiness workbookRachel Kelly

“I know that, in my own life, these small moves, done with little fanfare, have helped me hold onto that little bit of sunshine, even on the rainiest days.”

In this inspirational, interactive workbook Rachel Kelly, who has tried all sorts of methods to manage her depression, offers 52 life-affirming exercises and activities that can instil a sense of peace and resilience.

Rachel’s most helpful motto and mantra is ‘small and do-able’. Engaging in physical, manual processes keeps us grounded, as she shows, because we are what we repeatedly do. Our brains are not fixed and hard-wired, but malleable and they change in response to experience. Tiny actions, tweaks, marginal gains: call them what you will, they make a difference.

Follow these small incremental steps to help combat stress, anxiety and depression.

“Kelly’s warm, wise personal tips have universal application.” Bell Mooney

SOCIAL SCIENCE / PSYCHOLOGY

THE INFLAMED MINDA new way of thinking about depressionEdward Bullmore

Worldwide, depression will be the single biggest cause of disability in the next 20 years. But treatment for it has not changed much in the last three decades. In the world of psychiatry, time has apparently stood still... until now.

In this game-changing book, University of Cambridge Professor Edward Bullmore reveals the breakthrough new science on the link between depression and inflam-mation of the body and brain. He explains what we now know about how and why mental disorders can have their roots in the immune system, and outlines a future revolution in which treatments could be specifically targeted to break the vicious cycle of stress, inflammation and depression.

The Inflamed Mind goes far beyond the clinic and the lab, exploring a whole new way of looking at how mind, brain and body all work together in a sometimes misguided effort to help us survive in a hostile world. It offers insights into the story of Western medicine, how we have got it wrong as well as right in the past, and how we could start getting to grips with depression and other mental disorders much more effec-tively in the future.Prof Edward Bullmore is Co-Chair of

Cambridge Neuroscience and Head of the Department of Psychiatry at the University. He has published hundreds of scientific papers and is one of the most highly cited scientists worldwide in neuroscience and psychiatry.

PAPERBACK

EDITION

“This is an important book, a hopeful book, for anyone who wants to think about depression in a new way.”Tom Insel, CEO and President, Mindstrong Health

“The Inflamed Mind is not only a dramatic breakthrough in our understanding of depression. It is an extraordinary exploration of what it is to be human.”

Matthew d’Ancona, author of Post-truth

“The Inflamed Mind confronts the reader with the converging revolutions in neuroscience and immunology that give rise to a new perspective about depression and its treatment. It traces the roots of dualism, the

tendency to view mind dissociated from body, and then calls for moving beyond dualism in order to understand how inflammation in the body affects brain and mind. In an erudite, enjoyable, and accessible way, Professor Bullmore conveys the profound impact of this new perspective by helping us to appreciate

the links between traditional ‘medical’ and ‘psychiatric’ syndromes and it identifies new anti-inflammatory treatments that may cross the boundary from general medicine to psychiatry.”

John H. Krystal, M.D., Robert L. McNeil, Jr., Professor of Translational Research; Chair, Department of Psychiatry, Yale University School of Medicine

“As one of the first people to brand themselves as an immunopsychiatrist, Professor Bullmore has led us out of the dark ages and shone the light on the crucial link between bodily inflammation

and mental illness, creating a paradigm shift in psychiatry.”Sir Robert Lechler, President of the Academy of Medical Sciences

H ere is a narrative that tells of exciting new approaches to reducing mental illness while capturing the essence of a powerful strand in fundamental brain science.

Sir Philip Campbell, Editor-in-Chief, Nature

“Suddenly an expert who wants to stop and question everything we thought we knew... This is a lesson in the workings of the brain far too important to ignore.”

Jeremy Vine, BBC

THE 800The magic number of calories for weight loss and long-term healthDr Michael Mosley

£8.99 / 252pp / 29th December 2018 / B Format Paperback / ISBN 978-1-78072-362-4 / UK & Comm ex-Can & ANZ

Updating the science and creating a unified programme,with easier fasting days and a higher 800-calorie limit...

If you are one of the millions of followers of The Fast Diet, or have seen the power of The 8-Week Blood Sugar Diet in preventing and reversing type 2 diabetes, then you will know what fasting can do for your health.

In this new book, Michael updates the science – drawing on both the astonishing results of Professor Roy Taylor’s pioneering DiRECT study at Newcastle University, which proves the 800 methodology, and on Michael’s own pool of data and case studies. The result is an easy-to-follow new programme built around a more manageable 800-calorie Fasting Day – whether that’s 800 calories every day until you achieve your goals, or 800 calories twice a week.

Working on his personal rationale that he always tries the things he recommends, Michael puts on 10% of his body weight – about 8kg – for the book. In his own ‘Supersize Me’ experiment, he documents what the extra weight does to his blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar levels, hunger hormones, gut bacteria, etc, and then sees how quickly he can shed it on the 800.

EDITION

FOR 2018

THE STORY OF EMILY DAVISONThe girl who died for the right to voteClaudia FitzHerbert Emily was angry. She worked as hard as any man, but she couldn’t change laws that affected her – laws made by men. Because women didn’t have the right to vote.

She and the other suffragettes had patiently put their argument to the government, but they were ignored. Now it was time for direct action: arson, bricks through win-dows, hiding overnight in the House of Commons.

Over and over again she was thrown into prison and brutally force-fed through an iron tube. Maybe it would take a suffragette death to bring the government to its senses. At the Derby race-course, as the King’s Horse came pounding towards her, Emily was prepared to make the biggest sacrifice of all...

THE STORY OF NELSON MANDELAThe prisoner who became a presidentAdrian Hadland Nelson was a young South African boy with a reputation for trouble-making. Who would have thought he would one day lead his people to freedom?

Nelson Mandela grew up at a time when black South Africans suffered terrible in-justice. He was determined to change this – even if it meant terrible personal danger.

Twenty seven years of his life were spent in prison, and everyone seemed to be against him – even his own family – but Nelson never stopped fighting for what he believed in: true equality for all, no matter what the colour of their skin.
