The Art of Rest
Shortlisted for the British Psychological Society Book Award for Popular Science Much of value has been written about sleep, but rest is different; it is how we unwind, calm our minds and recharge our bodies. The Art of Rest draws on ground-breaking research Claudia Hammond collaborated on: ‘The Rest Test’, the largest global survey into rest ever undertaken, completed by 18,000 people across 135 different countries. The survey revealed how people get rest and how it is directly linked to your sense of wellbeing. Counting down through the top ten activities which people find most restful, Hammond explains why rest matters, examines the science behind the results to establish what really works and offers a roadmap for a new, more restful and balanced life.
OVACOME 25 YEARS OF A SPECIAL CHARITY
Author: Robert Leach
language: en
Publisher: Grosvenor House Publishing
Release Date: 2022-12-05
An absorbing and sometimes moving story of the creation and development of the UK's first and foremost ovarian cancer support charity, Ovacome. In 1996, Sarah Dickinson, a recently diagnosed sufferer from ovarian cancer, could not find any support group or even much in the way of information for herself and her husband. With great courage and determination she set about the creation of a new charity, Ovacome, to fill that void. Working with a small group of friends, often from her kitchen table at home in Ealing, London, she managed to gain almost immediate publicity for the charity, leading to an avalanche of enquiries and support from many women and men across the country. This book celebrates Sarah's achievements and the work of the Ovacome team since inception as it has provided many thousands of individuals with information, support and guidance in dealing with ovarian cancer. Over the 25 year period of Ovacome's history many individuals have made exceptional contributions to its work. Some of these amazing contributions are related in these pages, under the heading Ovacome's "heroines and heroes". Advances in diagnostics and treatment of the disease are outlined, in layman's terms, in dedicated chapters covering three time specified periods: 1996-2000, 2001-2010, 2011-2021. But mostly the book aims to celebrate the enormous achievements of Ovacome in providing information, support and guidance to many thousands of individuals impacted by this relatively uncommon disease.
Time Warped
Winner of the 2013 British Psychological Society's Book Awards Popular Science category. Time rules our lives, but how much do we really understand it? In Time Warped, we meet the people willing to go to extreme lengths to find out. They travel to Costa Rica to find out if hummingbirds can sense the passage of time, they walk towards the edge of a stairwell blindfolded and one man spends two months in an ice cave in total darkness - all in an attempt to fathom the tricks time can play on our minds. Drawing on the latest research from psychology, neuroscience and biology, award-winning BBC Radio4 presenter Claudia Hammond delves into the mysteries of time perception. She shows us how to manage time more efficiently, why it speeds up as you get older and, ultimately, how to use the warping of time to our own advantage.
