'Read this and add at least a fortnight to your life.' Jeremy Vine 'Real, down-to-earth and urgently needed.' Oliver Burkeman, bestselling author of Four Thousand Weeks Why do we feel stress? And how can we change things? How Stress Works is a pioneering collaboration between leading researcher Richard Mackenzie and journalist Peter Walker. Investigating the science of stress hormones, real-life case studies, the history of stress, societal factors and how they interact with stress, Mackenzie and Walker explain exactly how stress works, and what we can do to mitigate its long-term health impact. This is the book exploring the nuances of stress and how it affects you. Youll learn how stress impacts and interacts with: Your hormones Weight Type 2 diabetes Your work and socio-economic status Fertility and pregnancy Early childhood and upbringing Plus practical and adaptable strategies for coping with stress at home and at work Packed with conversation-starting science and stories, How Stress Works answers the important questions and busts common myths. Did you know that low-carb diets can increase cortisol levels, as can HIIT exercise, causing insulin and glucose surges? Or that stress hormones can affect fertility for all genders? Mackenzie and Walker dive into society and stress, considering if the higher rate of type two diabetes in disadvantaged communities is entirely due to lack of healthy food and exercise or is the stress of poverty itself a major factor? One thing is clear: stress is complex and personal, with many contributing factors. In How Stress Works, the authors present the view that much (if not most) stress is caused by factors outside of your control. Its not your fault if youre stressed. But having the knowledge and understanding of what is happening in your body when stress occurs is a powerful step towards minimizing it. Autorid: Dr Richard Mackenzie, Peter Walker

From emergency relief shelters to a cardboard cathedral and exhibition spaces in shipping containers, Pritzker Prizewinning architect Shigeru Ban has made his name with his restlessly inventive response to material and situation, as much as with his humanitarian work at the sites of natural and man-made disasters. According to scholar Riichi Miyake, Bans work represents an architectural iteration of Doctors Without Borders. In the spirit of three-dimensional poetry, Ban uses materials as an integral part of his design, selected not for their cutting-edge credentials but rather for their expressive ability, their capacity to convey the buildings overall concept. In particular, Ban has made regular use of paper tubing in projects as varied as the Japanese Pavilion at Expo 2000 in Hanover and the Paper Log Houses in the Philippines, built after Typhoon Haiyan in November 2013. This essential introduction, compiled with Bans own collaboration, presents his most important projects to date, surveying the full reach and importance of, in the words of the Pritzker Prize jury, a committed teacher who is not only a role model for younger generations, but also an inspiration.

A brilliant memoir from the bestselling author of Meetings With Remarkable Manuscripts Christopher de Hamel is one of the worlds best-known scholars and writers on illuminated manuscripts. He was mostly brought up in the south of New Zealand, where his family moved when he was four.

The Migrants explores the immense journeys of books and people. It is a tale of colonization and the migration of culture of motives and idealism, triumphs and disasters bringing us face-to-face with history. We meet the colonial governor on his paradise island, the shipwrecked accountant, the nonagenarian who cut up manuscripts, the magnate who unknowingly bought Beckets Boethius and the early settler who inscribed his Book of Hours in the Maori language in 1842. We travel with the author today back to where these manuscripts began their own lives, through France and Poland and medieval England, discovering their first owners and following the longest journeys on earth. This is a coming-of-age saga with extraordinary twists, crossing many hundreds of years and tens of thousands of miles, recounted with passion, humour and a lifetimes reflection.
