Birthing is the ultimate guide to conception, pregnancy, birth, and postpartum, blending Davina McCall’s honesty and humor with expert insights to empower and support women through every stage of the journey. Following the revolutionary success of Menopausing, the Nibbie-winning Book of the Year that sparked a nationwide conversation, Davina McCall returns with a powerful new guide to one of life’s most transformative journeys. In Birthing, Davina brings her trademark honesty, warmth, and humour to the life-changing experience of conception, pregnancy, birth, and the fourth trimester. From navigating the highs and lows of fertility to the physical and emotional challenges of birth and recovery, Davina is joined by an incredible team of experts to answer the questions women often feel too afraid―or too embarrassed―to ask. Midwife Marley provides real-world guidance and reassurance every step of the way. IVF specialist insights ensure clarity around fertility options. A sex therapist explores intimacy through pregnancy and beyond. Breathwork and pelvic muscle therapists offer practical tools to build strength and ease discomfort, while a personal trainer shares exercises tailored for every stage. A psychologist unpacks the mental and emotional shifts, helping readers feel seen, heard, and supported. Packed with unfiltered advice, bold truths, and empowering stories, Birthing doesn’t shy away from the messy or raw realities. Instead, it celebrates them―because women’s health deserves nothing less than honesty and care. Like Menopausing, this book is more than a guide; it’s a call for change, sparking conversation and giving women the tools they need to feel confident and informed. Beautifully designed, unapologetically bold, and refreshingly real, Birthing is here to inspire, support, and empower―one story, one page, one woman at a time.

Sunday Times bestselling author Dr Rangan Chatterjee reveals how to make positive change that actually lasts in his latest, most innovative book to date. We all have things we rely on going our way to help us feel calm and happy. Your partner waking up in a good mood. No traffic on the way to work. No queues at the supermarket. And no rain on your day off. But what happens when things don’t work out that way? We fall back on soothing habits. A trip to the cupboard for snacks. Scrolling on social media. A few beers or a couple of glasses of wine after a stressful day. Make Change that Lasts will show you the nine hidden ways day to day life causes these responses -- and show you how to respond to them consciously. Blending ancient philosophy with a deep understanding of health, host of one of the biggest podcasts on the planet, Feel Better, Live More, Dr Rangan Chatterjee will provide a personalized approach and simple techniques for reducing our reliance on the chaotic and uncertain outside world.

An eye-opening investigation into the science, economics, history and production of ultra-processed food. It's not you, it's the food. We have entered a new 'age of eating' where most of our calories come from an entirely novel set of substances called Ultra-Processed Food, food which is industrially processed and designed and marketed to be addictive. But do we really know what it's doing to our bodies? Join Chris in his travels through the world of food science and a UPF diet to discover what's really going on. Find out why exercise and willpower can't save us, and what UPF is really doing to our bodies, our health, our weight, and the planet (hint: nothing good). For too long we've been told we just need to make different choices, when really we're living in a food environment that makes it nigh-on impossible. So this is a book about our rights. The right to know what we eat and what it does to our bodies and the right to good, affordable food.
