'Exceptionally interesting' - Alain de BottonWhy are some relationships unstable, while others last a lifetime? Why do the rich keep getting richer, and can it ever be any other way? And why do we all make seemingly irrational decisions? People are messy. Science is methodical. Could ideas from physics allow us to solve our most urgent problems? ?This book is about the hidden, surprising, and sometimes beautiful ways in which physics could help you make sense of a chaotic and unpredictable world.Drawing on cutting-edge research and eye-opening insights from quantum mechanics, thermodynamics, chaos and complexity theory, materials science and more, The Art of Physics shows that science offers a rich vocabulary for tackling contradictions that seem to be the hallmarks of daily life. Not only does physics explain many aspects of our experience, it transforms our understanding of them.

THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER'A brave and radical book' - Rebecca Seal, The Observer'Fearless and game-changing.' - Emily Oster'Hard recommend.' - Pandora Sykes'A must-read.' - Aubrey Gordon'Essential.' - Laura Thomas, PhD'Revolutionary!' - Bethany Rutter'Pivotal.' - Anita BhagwandasChange the way you talk about food, weight, and self-worth, forever.We live in a world designed to make us hate our bodies. By the time children start school, most have learned that 'fat' is bad. As they get older, many pursue thinness to survive in a society that ties their value to their size. Parents worry both about the risks of their kids fixating on unrealistic beauty standards - and about them becoming fat. Meanwhile, multibillion-dollar industries thrive on our insecurities, and the medical system pushes weight loss at almost any cost.Talking to researchers, doctors, and activists, as well as parents and young people, Virginia Sole-Smith lays bare how diet culture has perpetuated a crisis of disordered eating and body hatred. She exposes our internalised fatphobia and shows why we need to let go of shame and start supporting young people in the bodies they have.Fat Talk is a stirring, deeply researched, and ground-breaking book that will transform the conversation about health and size.Praise for Virginia Sole-Smith:'Sole-Smith writes with warmth and insight about the sheer complexity of eating today'. - Bee Wilson, author of First Bite: How We Learn to Eat

There's a new governess at Fairmont House, and she's going to be nothing but trouble.Emily Laurence is a liar. She is not polite, she's not polished, and she has never taught a child in her life. This position was meant to be her sister's - brilliant, kind Amy, who isn't perpetually angry, dangerously reckless, and who does (inexplicably) like children.But Amy is unwell and needs a doctor, their father is gone and their mother is useless, so here Emily is, pretending to be something she's not.If she can get away with her deception for long enough to earn a few months' wages and slip some expensive trinkets into her pockets along the way, perhaps they'll be all right.That is, as long as she doesn't get involved with the Edwards family's dramas. Emily refuses to care about her charges - Grace, who talks too much and loves too hard, and Aster, who is frankly terrifying but might just be the wittiest sixteen-year-old Emily has ever met - or the servants, who insist on acting as if they're each other's family. And she certainly hasn't noticed her employer, the brooding, taciturn Captain Edwards, no matter how good he might look without a shirt on . . .As Fairmont House draws her in, Emily's lies start to come undone. Can she fix her mistakes before it's too late?Praise for Lex Croucher:'Bridgerton's wild little sister. So much fun!' Sarra Manning 'Witty, whip-smart and full of characters I totally fell for.
