33 Meditations on Death - David Jarrett - Bog - Transworld Publishers Ltd - Plusbog.dk

AS FEATURED ON BBC RADIO 4 ''Start the Week'' : ''very moving - brilliant and profound'' "Brilliant - a grimly humorous yet humane account of the realities of growing old in the modern age." - Henry Marsh "A remarkably likeable guide to a grisly subject ... daunting, yet ultimately life-affirming" - Independent What is a good death? How would you choose to live your last few months? How do we best care for the rising tide of very elderly? This unusual and important book is a series of reflections on death in all its forms: the science of it, the medicine, the tragedy and the comedy. Dr David Jarrett draws on family stories and case histories from his thirty years of treating the old, demented and frail to try to find his own understanding of the end. Profound, provocative, strangely funny and astonishingly compelling, it is an impassioned plea that we start talking frankly and openly about death. He writes about all the conversations that we, our parents, our children, the medical community, our government and society as a whole should be having. And it is a call to arms for us to make radical changes to our perspective on ''the seventh age of man''.-More praise for 33 Meditations on Death : "This book will stay with you." - Derren Brown "Bursting with empathy, common sense and humour." - Professor Dame Sue Black

Dr Rupy Aujla, author of The Doctor's Kitchen'Fascinating... A thoroughly thought-provoking read' Dame Sarah Gilbert, author of VaxxersYou've heard that a healthy body means a healthy mind - but why? Following the exciting discovery of new anatomy in the brain, Dr Monty Lyman reveals the extraordinary implications for our physical and mental health. Could inflammation cause depression, and arthritis drugs cure it?Can gut microbes shape your behaviour through the vagus nerve?Can something as simple as brushing your teeth properly reduce your risk of dementia?Until a decade ago, we misunderstood a fundamental aspect of human health. Although the brain and the body have always been viewed as separate entities – treated in separate hospitals – science now shows that they are intimately linked. Startlingly, we now know that our immune system is in constant communication with our brain and can directly alter our mental health. This has opened up a new frontier in medicine. In The Immune Mind, Dr Monty Lyman explores the fascinating connection between the mind, immune system and microbiome, offering practical advice on how to stay healthy. A specialist in the cutting-edge field of immunopsychiatry, Lyman argues that we need to change the way we treat disease and the way we see ourselves. For the first time, we have a new approach to medicine that treats the whole human being.

PROFESSOR DAME SUE BLACK, author of All That Remains Told from the inside out, this is a harrowing, humorous and hard-hitting tale of life behind bars by a prison doctor who has seen it all. Literally. Dr Shahed Yousaf spends his time running between emergencies - from overdoses to assaults, from cell fires to suicides - with one hand perpetually hovering over the panic button. Being a prison doctor is not for the faint-hearted.An outsider on the inside, in Stitched Up he introduces us to a cast of unforgettable characters, including killers, con men and auto-cannibals. To Dr Yousaf, they are patients first and prisoners second - because any one of us could end up on the wrong side of the law.Dedicated to caring for people on the margins of society, he tells us honestly and compassionately what it''s like to be their doctor in a system that''s chronically overcrowded, drastically under-resourced and all too easy to ignore. But while the system is failing, he and his colleagues are doing their very best to prop it up. In stories that are frequently harrowing, sometimes humorous and always hard-hitting, we discover how difficult it is to be locked up - but that there is still hope for all those who dare to care.

Written In Bone - Professor Sue Black - Bog - Transworld Publishers Ltd - Plusbog.dk

WINNER OF THE CWA GOLD DAGGER FOR NON-FICTION ''Gripping from the start, Written in Bone is superb'' - Dr Richard Shepherd, author of Unnatural Causes ''No Scientist communicates better than Sue Black'' - Val McDermid, author of Still Life ''Macabre, authoritative and fascinating.'' - The Sunday Times Our bones are the silent witnesses to the lives we lead. Our stories are marbled into their marrow. Drawing upon her years of research and a wealth of remarkable experience, the world-renowned forensic anthropologist Professor Dame Sue Black takes us on a journey of revelation. From skull to feet, via the face, spine, chest, arms, hands, pelvis and legs, she shows that each part of us has a tale to tell. What we eat, where we go, everything we do leaves a trace, a message that waits patiently for months, years, sometimes centuries, until a forensic anthropologist is called upon to decipher it.Some of this information is easily understood, some holds its secrets tight and needs scientific cajoling to be released. But by carefully piecing together the evidence, the facts of a life can be rebuilt.Limb by limb, case by case - some criminal, some historical, some unaccountably bizarre - Sue Black reconstructs with intimate sensitivity and compassion the hidden stories in what we leave behind. Praise for Sue Black: ''Sue Black has a rare ability to make blood and bones come alive. A marvellous writer. Ruth Davidson, SMP''The corpse whisperer ... Is it okay for Black, or us, to enjoy this quite so much?''''Fascinating'' - Spectator '' Gripping'' - Guardian ''Moving'' - Scotsman ''Engrossing'' - Financial Times

Unlawful Killings - Her Honour Wendy Joseph - Bog - Transworld Publishers Ltd - Plusbog.dk

THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLERWINNER OF THE CWA GOLD DAGGER FOR NON-FICTION 2023 ''Wendy Joseph''s gripping account of the law at work reads like a cliffhanger.'' Sunday Times ''Absolutely superb. 5 stars for sheer readability alone. Her Honour entertains as she educates us about murder, about the law and about how we human beings are shaped as we create the culture we live with.'' PHILIPPA PERRY, author of THE BOOK YOU WISH YOUR PARENTS HAD READ ___________________________________________________________________________________ ''Every day in the UK lives are suddenly, brutally, wickedly taken away. Victims are shot or stabbed. Less often they are strangled or suffocated or beaten to death. Rarely they are poisoned, pushed off high buildings, drowned or set alight. Then there are the many who are killed by dangerous drivers, or corporate gross negligence. There are a lot of ways you can kill someone. I know because I''ve seen most of them at close quarters.'' High-profile murder cases all too often grab our attention in dramatic media headlines - for every unlawful death tells a story. But, unlike most of us, a judge doesn''t get to turn the page and move on. Nor does the defendant, or the family of the victim, nor the many other people who populate the court room.And yet, each of us has a vested interest in what happens there. And while most people have only the sketchiest idea of what happens inside a Crown Court, any one of us could end up in the witness-box or even in the dock.With breath-taking skill and deep compassion, the author describes how cases unfold and illustrates exactly what it''s like to be a murder trial judge and a witness to human good and bad. Sometimes very bad.The fracture lines that run through our society are becoming harder and harder to ignore. From a unique vantage point, the author warns that we do so at our peril._____________________________________________________________________________________________''The most exceptional book I have read in a long time.''

Sister in Law - Harriet Wistrich - Bog - Transworld Publishers Ltd - Plusbog.dk

LONGLISTED FOR THE 2025 WOMEN''S PRIZE FOR NON-FICTIONDiscover the essential, must-read book about how the UK legal system is failing women, as told by one of Britain’s foremost lawyers. ''This is a brilliant and important book. Harriet is a trailblazer and has done so much to get justice for so many women.'' - Victoria Derbyshire'' Compelling, inspiring, horrifying and humbling in equal measure. Everybody should read it.'' - Professor Dame Sue Black, author of All That Remains ‘Every feminist should know Harriet Wistrich’s name. There is no one better to learn from if you want to Get Shit Done.’ - Helen Lewis, author of Difficult Women ''A shocking, sobering and galvanising account of her astonishing legal career fighting for women in a legal system that is all too often stacked against them'' - Caroline Criado Perez ***** For more than quarter of a century, Harriet Wistrich has fought the corner of people from all walks of life let down by our justice system. She has been at the forefront of some historic and ground-breaking legal victories, from helping the victims of taxi driver and serial rapist John Worboys, to representing a pioneering group of the women caught up in the ‘spy cops’ scandal – women deceived into forming long-term relationships with men later revealed to be undercover police officers.Litigation can be a long and rocky path of pitfalls and dead ends and there are defeats as well as gains, hours of painstaking work as well as courtroom drama.It takes collaboration, extraordinary tenacity and huge compassion, but Harriet Wistrich is proof that it is possible to demand better justice and to bring about important change. Exploring landmark cases, Sister in Law covers the shocking true stories demonstrating that, terrifyingly often, the law is not-fit-for-purpose for half the population and shines a feminist light on the landscape of arcane laws and systems skewed towards men. ***** Praise for Sister in Law: ‘Shocking, compelling and invigorating ... A must read from one of the foremost feminist human rights lawyers today'' Keina Yoshida & Jen Robinson''A brilliant lawyer. A brilliant book '' - Baroness Helena Kennedy KC''Harriet''s innovative, intense and courageous commitment to safeguarding basic rights, is compellingly set out in every chapter.'' - Michael Mansfield KC‘A vivid account of cases in which the justice system has spectacularly failed women but also of how injustices can be challenged if only we know enough and care enough to do so.’ - Rt Hon Lady Hale DBE''If I was ever in trouble, I would want Harriet Wistrich fighting in my corner .'' - Emeritus Professor David Wilson, author of My Life with Murderers
