Getting old may be inevitable, but feeling old is not: we can age well and maximize each decade of life if we do the right things at the right time.
Whether we like it or not, lots of things change as we age: our joints start to creak, our muscles weaken, and we lose coordination.

Smith shows you the steps you need to take in your 30s, 40s, 50s and beyond to increase longevity and stave off future illnesses and ailments. By eating the right foods, keeping tabs on the right numbers, moving the right way, and sleeping better, you can slow your aging process and feel younger for longer. This book will teach you what to eat at every age to prevent life-threatening diseases. For example, did you know that:
•In your thirties you should eat more sources of vitamin B6, such as tuna and eggs, and magnesium, like lentils and leafy greens
•In your fourties you should look to incorporate probiotics into your diet
•Bromelain, which can help reduce inflammation and improve digestion, is important in your fifties •And later in life a focus on omega-3 is key!
With specific lifestyle and diet advice including fitness tests for each decade of life, this book proves that it's never too late to start battling the aging process. With Dr. Smith's sage plan, readers have the opportunity to function their best and find greater joy in life at any age.

Daisy J. Hung is a diversity practitioner, writer, and artist, advocating for social justice across personal and professional spheres. She is the Head of Equality, Diversity and Inclusion in the Mathematical, Physical and Life Sciences Division at the University of Oxford.
Daisy has a unique, international perspective on race, identity, and belonging, informed by a 20-year career across legal, non-profit and education sectors working to support marginalised communities. As a person of Chinese descent, born in Canada with family from Hong Kong, raised in the US, and now settled in the UK, her sense of identity has shifted among many different contexts.
Daisy was longlisted for the Penguin Random House WriteNow 2020 competition, and was selected for the inaugural HarperCollins Author Academy programme in 2021 and The Greene Door Project’s mentoring scheme in November 2021.
I Am Not a Tourist
Daisy J. Hung
• Between 2019-2020 hate crimes against the Southeast Asian community grew by 80% in London alone, and 60% of all police forces have reported an increase in east and southeast Asian hates crimes between 2020-2021
• Growing numbers of Hong Kong residents immigrating to the UK to escape China’s antidemocratic crackdown has the potential of further increasing racial tensions. This book will be the much-needed call to arms in the wake of a divisive pandemic
• As well as her own lived experience, Daisy has fantastic credentials as an Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Manager at the University of Oxford, and plans to draw on interviews with many other members of the Southeast Asian community to create a wellrounded and researched look at what it means to be British Chinese today.
‘I may not yet feel fully British, but my family and I have made Britain our home. This book is for my daughters, so they can see themselves reflected in this country.'
It was during a trip to a museum in 2014 that Daisy Hung first recalls being incorrectly labelled as a tourist – a trend that has continued since she settled in the UK, regardless of the documents she has gathered. From assumptions that she speaks Mandarin or that she’s from China, to hearing the continued use of offensive and culturally insensitive terms, such as ‘Oriental’ and ‘Chinese whispers’, she has consistently felt othered, despite being a British citizen and having only once visited Hong Kong and China.
In I Am Not a Tourist, Daisy explores what it means to be British Chinese today, and the social, historical and political factors that have got us here. Fighting narrow and dehumanising stereotypes, of Chinese people excelling at school, or being devoid of original thought or leadership, or having authoritarian parents, she encourages readers to interrogate their assumptions and interpretations of ‘Chinese’ identity.
In the wake of the upsurge of anti-Asian racism, triggered by the racialisation of the COVID-19 pandemic as the ‘China virus’, ‘China plague’ and ‘Kung flu’, I Am Not a Tourist exposes the ongoing racism and inequalities that British Chinese communities face, and forms an urgent call for change.

Ultra-Processed Women
Milli Hill
Discover the hidden impact of ultra-processed foods (UPFs) on women’s health withUltraProcessedWomen
Everyone is talking about the rapidly mounting evidence that our diet of ultra-processed food (UPF) is fundamentally damaging our health. But what barely anyone is talking about is the specific impact that this very modern way of eating could be having on the female body, and on women’s health and lives. Women are so often left out of the health conversation with the male body treated as the default –let’s make sure this doesn’t happen again as the spotlight is turned on UPF.
Ultra-ProcessedWomen would be written in Milli Hill’s usual style: readable, warm, engaging, campaigning, and at times, humorous. The science would be central and well researched but ultimately this would be an expose: a book that opens women’s minds to the possibility that all of the health issues they often attribute simply to ‘being female’, could potentially be improved not just by ‘eating better’, but by specifically and consciously removing UPF from their shopping trolley.

Milli Hill is a writer and freelance journalist with a passion for women’s rights in childbirth and throughout their reproductive lives. Her book The Positive Birth Book is one of the UK’s bestselling pregnancy guides, and has sold nearly 100k copies since publication in 2017. Her more recent books, Give Birth like a Feminist, and My Period (for preteens), have also topped the Amazon charts. To date, Milli’s books have been translated into seven languages.
Ultra-Processed Foods (UPFs) are linked to, for example:
• More painful and heavier periods, and worse symptoms of PMS
• Increased symptoms of menopause
• Unwanted weight gain and obesity
• 50% higher risk of depression in middle age women
• Increased risk of developing and dying from female cancers
• Higher risk of health problems in pregnancy
• Increased risk of dementia and Alzheimer’s
Ultra-ProcessedWomen is uniquely placed as the only book on the market to focus on the specific affects that UPF has on women’s health, while not being a diet or weight loss book. It is readable, accessible, actionable, and based on cutting edge science, by one of the UK’s most respected and outspoken health writers.Ultra-ProcessedWomen draws on the widespread success of Chris van Tulleken’sUltra-ProcessedPeople, but goes further to focus on UPFs uniquely dangerous impact on women’s health, whilst similarly using science-backed evidence as the foundation of the book.

Biography and autobiography General
Hyeseung Song is a first-generation Korean American writer and painter. She lives in Brooklyn and upstate New York. Docile is her debut book.
Docile
Memoir of a Not So Perfect Asian Girl
Hyeseung Song
From Texas sugar cane fields, Ivy League halls to her homeland of South Korea and back again this memoir is a journey through identity crises, mental health struggles, and the quest for selfhood.
Born to Korean immigrant parents, Hyeseung spends her early years in the sugar cane fields of Texas, caught between her father's "get rich quick schemes" and her beautiful, domineering mother who is skeptical of Western idealism.
With her parents constantly at odds, Hyeseung learns more Korean words for hatred than for love. When the family's fake Gucci business lands them in bankruptcy, Hyeseung starts at a new school where she's immediately singled out with the question, "Can you speak English?"
Growing up, Hyeseung internalizes Western expectations of the "model" Asian-American, striving for approval and getting into an Ivy League school. Yet, she resents the other high-achieving Asian students she meets and clings to her "token" status among her white peers.
In an attempt to reconcile her identity, she takes a trip to Korea, facing an even greater crisis of self, and after a series of shocking events, she is admitted to a psychiatric hospital and ultimately attempts suicide. Marriage to a doting white physicist and a new career as a painter seem to offer refuge—until they don’t.
Unflinching and lyrical, Docile is one woman’s story of subverting the model minority myth, contending with mental illness, and finding her self-worth by looking within.
“DOCILE is the rarest of things: a scorchingly honest, beautiful, hugely evocative memoir that’s also a proper page-turner. I read it breathlessly in a single sitting, transported and deeply moved. It's at one and the same time the story of a life and a meditation on identity, family, trauma, illness, and the nature of love, art, and success. It’s wonderful.” – Helen MacDonald, author of HisforHawk
“A work of extraordinary tenderness and depth, DOCILE chronicles an immigrant family’s dreams, losses, and love through Hyeseung Song’s clear-eyed and poetic storytelling. Ultimately a book about the call of art, the bane of mental illness, and inheritances both welcome and not, DOCILE offers a gorgeous glimpse of one seeker’s earnest journey toward selfhood.” – Rachel Yoder, author of Night Bitch
"A savagely beautiful memoir. Skillfully crafted and achingly heartfelt, Docile creates worlds through richly-observed details, told with a powerful narrative drive. Eloquent, often funny, and always unflinchingly honest, Song has created a Portrait of the Artist as a Young AAPI Woman which will be read and cherished for generations to come." — David Henry Hwang, author of M.Butterfly

Born in Chicago, she now lives in London. Athena was born with athetoid cerebral palsy.
What’s Done Cannot Be Undone
Athena Stevens
This is not an inspirational memoir. This is not trauma porn. This is a memoir about the forces that impact our lives, both good and bad.
Athena Stevens has never learned the name of the doctor whose lack of intervention at her birth lead to her cerebral palsy, but she feels the consequences of his actions – and inaction – every day. The factor observed first and foremost in her life will forever be the effects of what other people have done to her, rather than her accomplishments. And yet, she was groomed to believe that she would overcome any force that stood in her way.
This complex, lyrical, gut-punch of a memoir delves into the reality that, for every action there is an equal, opposite reaction, and that changing the world single-handedly is as impossible as defying the laws of physics.

Biography and autobiography General
Simon McDermott is the son of 80-year-old Teddy McDermott, who was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s in 2013. After the disease took its toll on Ted’s relationship with his family, his memory and his mood, Simon found a unique way for them to connect again: carpool karaoke. Simon filmed the pair’s joyful rendition of Quando, Quando, Quando, and put it up on YouTube with no expectations. But the video went viral across the globe, being watched by over 60 million people, and raising over £125,000 for the Alzheimer’s Society.
The Songaminute Man
How music brought my father home again
Simon McDermott
The nostalgic memoir of a young man, eldest of fourteen, growing up in 40s Wednesbury. The heartbreaking true account of his son struggling to come to terms with his father’s dementia. A tribute to the unbreakable bond between father and son.
When Simon McDermott first noticed his dad Ted’s sudden flares of temper and fits of forgetfulness, he couldn’t have guessed what lay ahead. Then came the devastating, inevitable diagnosis. As Ted retreated into his own world, Simon and his mum Linda desperately tried to reach him until at last: an idea. Turning the ignition in his mum’s little runaround, Simon hit play on Ted’s favourite song Quando Quando Quando. And like that, they were just two mates driving around Blackburn, singing at the top of their lungs.
Simon filmed their adventure, uploaded the video to YouTube and woke up to messages, tweets and his phone ringing off the hook. Their carpool karaoke had gone viral all the way across the globe.
But a record deal, Pride of Britain Awards, over £130,000 raised for The Alzheimer’s Society and a Top 10 single later, Simon was still losing Ted. That’s when he made a decision. His Dad – the storyteller of his childhood and his best friend – couldn’t tell his own story, so Simon would tell it for him. This is that story.
Set in the heart of the Black Country just before WWII, and written with the help of Ted’s friends and family, The Songaminute Man recalls a boy who became a gutsy and fiercely loyal man. It remembers a childhood of sleeping top-to-toe, rationing, adventure in the woods and making-do-and-mending, a close-knit community, and a life-long passion for music.
Full of poignant moments, the ups and downs of family life and treasured memories, The Songaminute Man is a story of two halves: a celebration of the man Ted was, and a powerful and moving account of caring for a loved one.
