Life is the most extraordinary phenomenon in the known universe; but how does it work? Even in this age of cloning and synthetic biology, the remarkable truth remains: nobody has ever made anything living entirely out of dead material. Life remains the only way to make life. Are we missing a vital ingredient in its creation? Like Richard Dawkins The Selfish Gene, which provided a new perspective on evolution, Life on the Edge alters our understanding of life s dynamics as Jim Al-Khalili and Johnjoe Macfadden reveal the hitherto missing ingredient to be quantum mechanics. Drawing on recent ground-breaking experiments around the world, they show how photosynthesis relies on subatomic particles existing in many places at once, while inside enzymes, those workhorses of life that make every molecule within our cells, particles vanish from one point in space and instantly materialize in another. Each chapter in Life on the Edge opens with an engaging example that illustrates one of lifeâ ™s puzzles â “ How do migrating birds know where to go? How do we really smell the scent of a rose? How do our genes manage to copy themselves with such precision? â “ and then reveals how quantum mechanics delivers its answer. Guiding the reader through the maze of rapidly unfolding discovery, Al-Khalili and McFadden communicate vividly the excitement of this explosive new field of quantum biology, with its potentially revolutionary applications, and also offer insights into the biggest puzzle of all: what is life?

***SHORTLISTED FOR FT MCKINSEY BUSINESS BOOK OF THE YEAR 2020*** FT Best books of 2020: Business In a world on fire, status quo is not a great option. Henderson rightfully argues for the refoundation of capitalism and offers thought-provoking ideas on what needs to be done to address some of the world s greatest challenges. Hubert Joly, former chairman and CEO, BestBuy ________________­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­ What if business could help solve the greatest problems of our time? Free market capitalism is one of humanity s greatest inventions, and the greatest source of prosperity the world has ever seen. But it s also on the verge of destroying the planet and destabilizing society in its single-minded pursuit of maximizing shareholder value. Rebecca Henderson, McArthur University Professor at Harvard University, argues for a new framework; one that can simultaneously make a positive societal impact by confronting the realities of the environment and the need to address social and economic inequality, while also delivering sustained financial performance to ensure economic growth that brings prosperity and wellbeing to society as a whole. Drawing on the lessons of companies from around the world who are acting on this responsibility - who are not only surviving but are thriving, becoming leaders in their industries and beginning to drive the wheels of change - Professor Henderson proves that this is not only a moral imperative for business but also the only way to remain competitive in our changing world. ________________ You need to read Rebecca Henderson s Reimagining Capitalism in a World on Fire. This is a book for the realist with a heart. Arthur C. Brooks, president emeritus, American Enterprise Institute; senior fellow, Harvard Business School; and author of Love Your Enemies Reimagining Capitalism in a World on Fire is a breath of fresh air. Written in lively prose, easily accessible to lay readers, and chock-full of interesting case studies, Henderson comprehensively surveys what we need to do to secure a workable future.

Abandoned by his parents, brought up by his loving, strict and clear-sighted grandmother, Elwood is about to enroll in the local black college. But given the time and the place, one innocent mistake is enough to destroy his future, and so Elwood arrives at The Nickel Academy, which claims to provide physical, intellectual and moral training which will equip its inmates to become honorable and honest men .In reality, the Nickel Academy is a chamber of horrors, where physical, emotional and sexual abuse is rife, where corrupt officials and tradesmen do a brisk trade in supplies intended for the school, and where any boy who resists is likely to disappear out back . Stunned to find himself in this vicious environment, Elwood tries to hold on to Dr King s ringing assertion, Throw us in jail, and we will still love you. But Elwood s fellow inmate and new friend Turner thinks Elwood is naive and worse; the world is crooked, and the only way to survive is to emulate the cruelty and cynicism of their oppressors.The tension between Elwood s idealism and Turner s skepticism leads to a decision which will have decades-long repercussions.Based on the history of a real reform school in Florida that operated for one hundred and eleven years and warped and destroyed the lives of thousands of children, The Nickel Boys is a devastating, driven narrative by a great American novelist whose work is essential to understanding the current reality of the United States.

We are all aware of the extreme hunger and poverty that afflict the world s poor. We hear the facts, see the images on television, buy the T-shirt and are moved as individuals and governments to dig deep into our pockets. Yet what happens to all this aid? Why after 50 years and $2.3 trillion are there still children dying for lack of twelve cents medicine? Why are there so many people still living on less than $1 a day without clean water, food, sanitation, shelter, education or medicine?In The White Man s Burden William Easterly, acclaimed author and former economist at the World Bank, addresses these twin tragedies head on. While recognising the energy and compassion behind the campaign to make poverty history he argues urgently and powerfully that grand plans and good intentions are a part of the problem not the solution. Giving aid is not enough, we must ensure that it reaches the people who need it most and the only way to make this happens is through accountability and by learning from past experiences. Without claiming to have all the answers, William Easterly chastises the complacent and patronising attitude of the West that attempts to impose solutions from above. In this book, which is by turns angry, moving, irreverent but always rigorous, he calls on each and everyone of us to take responsibility, whether donors, aid workers or ordinary citizens, so that more aid reaches the people it is supposed to help, the mother who cannot feed her children, the little girl who has to collect firewood rather than go to school, the father who cannot work because he has been crippled by war.

Carnivore in the Kitchen is more than just a collection of recipes - it is an exploration of flavors, textures, and cooking creativity! Burgers, rib-eyes, and brisket are tasty and satisfying, but they re not the only way to pack a carnivore diet with nutrients. In Carnivore in the Kitchen, popular TikTok creator Courtney Luna shares her approach to making a meat-centric way of eating exciting and sustainable. This is more than a cookbook.

Courtney follows this overview with chapters devoted to helping you start your carnivore journey, offering tips for setting up your kitchen and stocking your fridge, freezer, and pantry.

The carnivore lifestyle can work for the whole family, and in a chapter devoted to an animal foods based diet for kids (which also includes fruit), Courtney explains how to emphasize nutrition without demonizing foods. She keeps one foot grounded in traditional carnivore practice by explaining the basics of preparing different cuts of meat, which helps you build your confidence in the kitchen. Then she takes you beyond the conventional with recipes that offer a more expansive range of flavors but are still 100 percent carnivore friendly. The recipes ensure guilt-free nourishment without grains, gluten, sweeteners, or vegetables, but for those who want a hint of naughtiness, she offers a bit of indulgence with optional vanilla, cinnamon, and other seasonings. You ll be able to let your carnivore spirit run wild with recipes like Breakfast Meatballs, Smoked Salmon Blinis, Creamy Sausage Soup, Liver Burgers, Lasagna, Carnivore Cinnamon Rolls. Whether you are carnivore diet devotee or are just looking to try something new, Carnivore in the Kitchen encourages experimentation and innovation by inspiring you to go beyond traditional meat dishes and discover new preparations and flavor combinations you never thought possible!
