Drawing on decades of clinical research as a paediatric endocrinologist, Lustig dismantles the myth that \"a calorie is a calorie,\" revealing why sugar itself drives obesity, diabetes and chronic disease.

Dr Robert Lustig argues that our reliance on processed convenience food is directly responsible for soaring rates of obesity, type 2 diabetes and a wide catalogue of related diseases. Fat Chance goes further than typical diet advice, using accessible science to explain why conventional low-fat, calorie-counting wisdom has failed so many people. Lustig shows that not every calorie behaves the same way in the body: sugar calories trigger metabolic and hormonal responses that promote fat storage, insulin resistance and disease, regardless of a person's overall weight. He examines how the food industry has engineered products to maximise sugar content, often disguising sugar under dozens of different names on ingredient labels, and holds governments and regulators to account for policy failures that let this crisis take root. Rather than another restrictive fad diet, Lustig equips readers with the biochemical understanding needed to make genuinely informed food choices - which foods to limit, which hidden sugars to watch for, and how small, sustainable changes can meaningfully reduce disease risk over time. Written in clear, engaging language, Fat Chance has become a touchstone text for nutrition students, health professionals, teachers and general readers who want evidence-based answers rather than diet fads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExplains the biochemical difference between sugar calories and other calories\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReveals how hidden sugars are engineered into processed foods\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChallenges low-fat, calorie-counting diet advice with hard science\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOffers practical, sustainable strategies for reducing sugar intake\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdeal for nutrition students, teachers, and health-conscious readers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA brand new paperback that fits neatly on any bookshelf\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nDr Robert Lustig is an American paediatric endocrinologist and Professor Emeritus of Pediatrics at the University of California, San Francisco, where he specialised in childhood obesity and metabolic disease.

Over just two generations, traditional and limited diets have given way to globalised food systems offering unprecedented variety-yet paradoxically leaving many people less healthy than before. Wilson explores the rise of ultra-processed foods, the psychology of appetite, the influence of supermarkets and corporations, and the cultural forces reshaping our relationship with meals. Drawing on meticulous research, interviews and storytelling, she charts how convenience, marketing and economics have reshaped kitchens and dinner tables worldwide. Rather than simply diagnosing the problem, Wilson also looks for reasons to be hopeful, highlighting communities and individuals finding new, more sustainable and pleasurable ways to eat. The book moves fluidly between personal anecdote, scientific evidence and social history, making complex food politics accessible without ever feeling dry or preachy. Whether discussing school dinners, food deserts, the rise of veganism or the psychology of snacking, Wilson brings clarity and nuance to a subject that touches every reader.

Mantel Pieces gathers the best of that writing since her first LRB piece in 1987. Her subjects are dazzlingly wide-ranging: Robespierre and Danton, the Hite Report, her years living in Saudi Arabia, the Bulger case, playwright John Osborne, the Virgin Mary and pop icon Madonna, and a brilliant reassessment of Helen Duncan, Britain's last convicted witch. Several essays revisit the Tudor world she made famous in the Wolf Hall trilogy, exploring Jane Boleyn, Charles Brandon, Christopher Marlowe and Margaret Pole with the same astonishing historical insight. Her infamous lecture \"Royal Bodies\", which provoked a media storm on its publication, examines how royal women are perceived and consumed by the public imagination. Interleaved throughout are LRB diary entries, personal letters and archive ephemera, including a memorable account of meeting her stepfather for the first time and a tense encounter with a circus strongman. Constantly illuminating, often very funny, and always penetrating, Mantel Pieces is an essential companion to Mantel's fiction and a superb introduction to her nonfiction voice for new readers. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwenty essays and memoir pieces spanning three decades of writing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes the notorious \"Royal Bodies\" lecture on royal women\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTudor-themed essays that complement the Wolf Hall trilogy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand new hardback, ideal for gifting to literary fiction fans\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShowcases Mantel's range across history, culture and memoir\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA must-have for collectors of Hilary Mantel's complete body of work\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDame Hilary Mantel DBE FRSL (1952–2022) was one of Britain's most acclaimed writers, celebrated for historical fiction, memoir and short stories.

Founded by bond trader John Meriwether and backed by brilliant minds including two Nobel laureates, the fund promised sophisticated mathematical models delivering consistent, near risk-free returns. For a time, it delivered spectacularly, attracting billions from banks, pension funds, and wealthy individuals. Roger Lowenstein takes readers inside the fund's workings, explaining how derivatives, arbitrage, and enormous leverage combined to create extraordinary profits. But when the 1997 Asian financial crisis and 1998 Russian default sent shockwaves through global markets, LTCM's models failed catastrophically. As losses mounted into the billions within weeks, the fund's collapse threatened a chain reaction across the world's banking system. Lowenstein documents the extraordinary intervention by the Federal Reserve and a consortium of Wall Street banks who orchestrated a private-sector bailout to avert a broader crisis. Drawing on his own experience covering Wall Street, Lowenstein crafts a narrative as gripping as a thriller yet grounded in rigorous financial reporting. The book remains one of the definitive accounts of how brilliance, arrogance, and unchecked leverage can create systemic risk, and continues to be cited as essential reading for understanding later financial crises, including the 2008 crash.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA dramatic, page-turning account of one of Wall Street's most infamous collapses.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClear, jargon-free explanations of leverage, derivatives, and quantitative trading strategies.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDeep insight into the personalities behind LTCM, including John Meriwether and his Nobel-winning partners.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEssential context for understanding later financial crises, including the 2008 crash.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdeal for finance students, investors, economics teachers, and general readers alike.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nRoger Lowenstein is an acclaimed American financial journalist and author.

Jon McGregor brings his trademark precision and empathy to a story that resists easy resolution. Critics have praised the novel's unusual structure and its refusal to sensationalise trauma, focusing instead on the undervalued courage of simply enduring.

Frank is an advertising executive twenty years her senior, charming and generous, but quietly unravelling under a long-standing drinking problem. Their chance encounter at a party sparks an instant, dizzying connection, and within months they are married - a decision that stuns their friends and sets off a chain reaction none of them can control. Told from multiple perspectives, including Cleo's best friend Zoe and Frank's sister Alice, the novel widens from the central marriage into a rich portrait of a community grappling with love, ambition, and self-destruction. Mellors writes with a rare blend of wit and tenderness, capturing the intoxicating highs of new love alongside the slow unravelling that follows when a relationship is built on need rather than honesty. The prose moves fluidly between glittering party scenes and quiet, devastating reckonings. Themes of addiction, mental health, gender identity, and financial precarity are woven throughout with nuance and compassion. Reviewers have compared it to Sally Rooney and Meg Wolitzer for its incisive observation of contemporary relationships. It is a novel about the stories we tell ourselves to justify our choices, and what it takes to finally choose honesty over comfort. Funny, sad, and deeply human, it has established Mellors as one of the most exciting new literary voices to emerge in recent years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Benefits:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAcclaimed debut novel by Coco Mellors, a standout in contemporary literary fiction.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMulti-perspective storytelling exploring love, addiction, and identity with honesty and wit.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePerfect for fans of Sally Rooney, Meg Wolitzer, and character-driven New York novels.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdeal for book clubs, with rich themes for discussion.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact, high-quality paperback edition - great for gifting or reading on the go.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nCoco Mellors is a British-American author based in New York City.

Cromwell is no simple hero: he is calculating, resourceful, and utterly modern in a world governed by superstition and ceremony. Mantel's prose moves fluidly between the grand theatre of court politics and the private, brutal realities of Tudor life, giving readers a vivid sense of this pivotal moment in English history. The novel captures the collapse of Catherine of Aragon's marriage, the ascent of Anne Boleyn, and the dismantling of the old religious order, filtered through Cromwell's sharp, unsentimental perspective. Wolf Hall doesn't just recount history; it inhabits it, presenting a world of shifting loyalties, competing ambitions, and moral compromise. As the first instalment in a trilogy that won two Booker Prizes and inspired a hit BBC adaptation, this novel set the template for a new kind of historical fiction: rigorous, emotionally resonant, and gripping from first page to last.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Benefits:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRead the Booker Prize-winning first novel in Hilary Mantel's celebrated Wolf Hall trilogy.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImmerse yourself in meticulously researched Tudor history brought vividly to life.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFollow one of literature's most compelling anti-heroes, Thomas Cromwell, from obscurity to power.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnjoy prose praised by critics as some of the finest in contemporary English fiction.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePerfect for book clubs, history lovers, and fans of the BBC television adaptation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA brand-new paperback edition ideal for gifting or building your historical fiction collection.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nDame Hilary Mantel (1952-2022) was one of Britain's most celebrated novelists, best known for the Wolf Hall trilogy: Wolf Hall, Bring Up the Bodies, and The Mirror \u0026amp; the Light.

Following Thomas Cromwell as he navigates the King's infatuation with Jane Seymour and the swift downfall of Anne Boleyn, this novel is a masterclass in historical fiction. Perfect for lovers of literary fiction, Tudor history and political drama, this brand-new paperback brings Mantel's razor-sharp prose to readers eager to explore power, loyalty and betrayal within the English court.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Book:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nBring Up the Bodies picks up directly after Wolf Hall, as Thomas Cromwell, now Master Secretary to Henry VIII, consolidates his position at the heart of the Tudor court. When the King's eye turns from Anne Boleyn to the quiet Jane Seymour, Cromwell is tasked with the delicate and dangerous business of dismantling a queen. Cromwell is a study in contradiction: ruthless yet reflective, a self-made man navigating a world built on inherited privilege. The narrative moves with tense, controlled precision towards its chilling conclusion, the trial and execution of Anne Boleyn, rendered with a psychological intimacy rarely achieved in historical fiction. Meticulously researched, the book brings authentic Tudor detail to life without ever feeling like a history lesson, embedding real events within a gripping story about the tales people tell to justify what they do. Awarded the Man Booker Prize and the Costa Book of the Year, and adapted into a BAFTA and Golden Globe-winning BBC television series, this novel is a modern classic essential for anyone drawn to the drama of the Tudor court.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Benefits:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWinner of the Man Booker Prize and Costa Book of the Year — a true modern classic of historical fiction.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImmersive, meticulously researched depiction of Henry VIII's court and the fall of Anne Boleyn.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComplex, morally layered characters that reward book club discussion and re-reading.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLoved by fans of the acclaimed BBC television adaptation starring Mark Rylance and Damian Lewis.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact, portable paperback format ideal for reading on the go or at home.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nDame Hilary Mantel (1952–2022) was one of the greatest English novelists of her generation, best known for her epic Wolf Hall trilogy.

Set between New York, London, Los Angeles and Paris, it follows Avery, Bonnie and Lucky in the year after the sudden death of their fourth sister, Nicky.

Avery, the eldest, is a recovering heroin addict turned buttoned-up lawyer living a carefully controlled life in London. Bonnie, a former professional boxer, has retreated to Los Angeles to work as a bouncer after a defeat that cost her everything. Lucky, the youngest, is a model in Paris whose glamorous facade hides a spiralling reliance on drink and drugs. United once by their bond with their late sister Nicky, the three women have drifted into separate, guarded lives. When they must return together to their childhood home in New York to settle its sale, old wounds resurface alongside old loyalties. Mellors moves between the sisters' perspectives and cities with a novelist's eye for telling detail, capturing the specific textures of each woman's world while building toward a shared reckoning with loss. The novel doesn't shy away from difficult territory, addiction, grief, and the different ways people cope, but it handles these themes with warmth, humour and a refusal to sentimentalise. Fans of Mellors' debut, Cleopatra and Frankenstein, will recognise her gift for ensemble storytelling and her precise, propulsive prose, here turned toward a deeply felt portrait of sisterhood tested by tragedy and, ultimately, strengthened by it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew York Times bestseller from the acclaimed author of Cleopatra and Frankenstein.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMulti-perspective, character-driven family drama spanning New York, London, LA and Paris.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTackles grief and addiction with honesty, humour and heart.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdeal for book clubs and fans of literary family sagas.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand new paperback, UK edition.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nCoco Mellors is a British writer raised in London who moved to New York as a teenager and received her MFA in Fiction from New York University.

Written for anyone who habitually puts others first at their own expense, it unpicks the psychology behind people-pleasing and offers gentle, practical strategies for change.

Drawing on clinical experience, Emma Reed Turrell identifies the different 'types' of people-pleaser and explains how these patterns form, often stretching back to childhood roles and relationships. Rather than simply telling readers to \"say no more\", the book explores the emotional logic behind people-pleasing behaviour and gently dismantles the guilt that keeps it in place. Each chapter combines clear psychological insight with relatable, real-life scenarios, so readers can recognise their own patterns in friendships, family dynamics, romantic relationships and the workplace. Practical exercises, reflective prompts and ready-to-adapt scripts help translate insight into action, whether that's renegotiating an unfair workload or having an honest conversation with a parent. Turrell distinguishes between healthy kindness and self-erasing people-pleasing, encouraging readers to stay compassionate towards others while putting their own needs on the agenda, for steady change rather than dramatic transformation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Benefits:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWritten by a practising psychotherapist with real clinical insight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdentifies distinct 'types' of people-pleaser so readers recognise their own patterns\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePractical, ready-to-use scripts for setting boundaries at work and home\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEncourages sustainable, guilt-free change rather than instant fixes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdeal for readers wanting healthier relationships and better self-care\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nEmma Reed Turrell grew up in Portsmouth and read English at Cambridge University.
