Mary Toft was just another eighteenth century woman living in poverty, misery and frequent pain. Mary Toft was the kind of person overlooked by those with power, forgotten by historians. Mary Toft was nothing. Until, that is, Mary Toft started giving birth to rabbits... In Mary and the Rabbit Dream, the sensational debut novelist Noemi Kiss-Deaki reimagines Mary''s strange and fascinating story - and how she found fame when a large swathe of England became convinced that she was the mother of rabbits. Mary and the Rabbit Dream is a story of bodily autonomy, of absurdity, of the horrors inflicted on women, of the cruel realities of poverty and the grotesque divides between rich and poor. It''s a book that matters deeply - and it''s also a compelling page-turner. A story told with exquisite wit, skill and a beautiful streak of subversive mischief.

This gift made him wonder anew why rabbits were their symbol of visitation: "How did this kind of creature become such a powerful way of feeling your presence?"

THE DESIRE FACTOR proves that desire is the force behind every act of creation. It is the mechanism through which everything in this boundless spiritual universe is made manifest into physical, tangible form. Every aspect of our human experience-from the emergence of our most heartfelt aspirations to the fulfillment of our most basic physical and biological needs-is driven by the engine of desire.However, the true gift is not in acquiring our desires; it is the people we become in the process of allowing our desires to move through us. Manifestations come and go, and some even lose their appeal over time. Yet the skills, the strengths, and the character traits we develop in the process of manifesting our desires stay with us always. In this way, desire is the catalyst to our never-ending expansion and creativity. THE DESIRE FACTOR unfolds the precise steps for bringing about the manifestation of any desire. Take author Christy Whitman''s advice and learn to lean in to prosperity and abundance.

A breakthrough programme for women to revive their lost energy and vitalityIn The Spark Factor, Dr Molly Maloof shares a gamechanging programme uniquely tailored to the biology of women that targets the mitochondria, the power source of the cells. As Dr Maloof shows, the intense, all or nothing approaches commonly used to optimise health - including sustained fasting, ultra low-carb diets and intense training - can be harmful, especially for women, because they create excessive stress in an already-stressed body, which can make us tired, weak and prone to illness. Dr Maloof''s innovative plan offers lifestyle changes that are designed with women in mind and provide immediate and long-term benefits. Instead of denying our bodies, we need to listen to what they are telling us. Once we become aware of our physical needs, we can give ourselves the resources to become more connected, nourished, safe and strong. With strategies for personalised nutrition, hormonal health and stress management, as well as cutting-edge biohacking insights, The Spark Factor is the book women have been waiting for to help them reclaim their vitality and achieve lasting health.

So Pollie, his owner, brings two rabbits home to stay, but will they be well-behaved, friendly and caring, or will they get up to mischief, be unkind and bully him? What could happen to make them change? And what will they, and Pollie, teach us about saving the planet along the way? In this unique book, each chapter in the story has an environmental education issue woven into it, and then a set of questions which explores these issues further. Some of these issues include what animals need from their environment to survive and how we, as humans, are stopping them from obtaining these, and the need for clean water. It teaches children practical ways to care for animals and the planet, but also goes one step further and teaches us why we should care.

In recent years there have been exciting scientific discoveries about a powerful hormone whose role in the human body has long been neglected. Oxytocin is the hormone involved in bonding, sex, childbirth, and breast-feeding, as well as in relaxation and feelings of calm. It is the mirror image of the stress hormone (adrenaline), which triggers the "fight or flight" systems in the body. Much has been written about the latter but the many-sided importance of oxytocin is currently known only to specialists in obstetrics, physiology, and psychiatry. The Oxytocin Factor, y Dr. Kerstin UvnäMoberg, is the first book on the subject for a general audience. The new research findings, as well as the potentially beneficial applications of this hormone in reducing anxiety states, stress, addictions, and problems of childbirth, are not only fascinating but of great significance to all our lives.
