More relevant than ever . . . a great introduction to the use of statistics

A hilarious exploration of mathematical mendacity.... Every time you pick it up, what happens? Bang goes another illusion!

A pleasantly subversive little book guaranteed to undermine your faith in the almighty statistic

A brilliant deep-dive into how food affects our wellbeing – and more importantly, what we can do about it. Enlightening and empowering

No fads, no nonsense, just practical, science-based advice on how to eat well.

The pandemic should have changed many attitudes towards understanding biology, and Food for Life is the newly scientifically semi-literate person's post-Covid go-to food book... I trust the author and his work.

Spector writes as a food lover... Every person's ideal diet is different, and should be based on sensible choices from a position of knowledge. Food for Life is a feast of that knowledge... A valuable reference book to keep on a kitchen shelf.

[A] weighty and detailed guide to modern living... [Spector] explains how to boost your microbiome and tailor your diet.

Food for Life is a fascinating tour d'horizon, deftly drawing on recent research... Well
written [and] informative.

Tim Spector has been exploding the myths around food and heal for years... Here he continues the demolition job in a rigorously academic book that welcomes the layperson with open arms.

A fascinating insight into what we eat in a highly readable format.

The nutrition revolution is well underway and Tim Spector is one of the visionaries leading the way. His writing is illuminating and so incredibly timely.

Will actually help you decide what to add to your next grocery shop... This is one of the clearest and most accessible short nutrition books I have read: refreshingly open-minded, deeply informative and free of faddish diet rules.

A well-researched and informative book ... Great to see academia catching up with the real world.

Tim Spector makes healthy eating exhilarating, empowering and achievable

A lively, thought-provoking book... Mukherjee comes across not only as a brilliant researcher but also as a deeply empathetic human being

A masterclass in cell function that will leave you in awe of biology

This complex portrait illuminates cells' roles in immunity, reproduction, sentience, cognition, repair and rejuvenation

One of the most admired doctors in the world

A tour d'horizon of cell theory... part history lesson, part biology lesson and part reminder of how science itself actually proceeds

Brilliant

This complex portrait illuminates cells' roles in immunity, reproduction, sentience, cognition, repair and rejuvination, malfunctions such as cancer, and treatments such as blood transfusions, drawing on author Siddhartha Mukherjee's varied experience as an immunologist, stem-cell scientist, cancer biologist and medical oncologist

The book is, at root, a call for a more integrated biology ... What gives The Song of the Cell its persuasiveness in calling for that new vision is precisely that it comes from a clinician steeped in the traditions of genomic and cell biology, and who has seen both the power and limitations of those approaches to produce actual cures

What truly elevates the book are Mukherjee's accounts of his experiences as a clinician and the stories of the patients he has encountered. Some are moving, and all are reflective and insightful

Hooked me so hard I read the entire book in one sitting. And then twice more

The old, solid world, if you believed in it at all, breaks into a glorious shimmer of limitless potential

Rovelli has an uncanny knack for instilling wonder and explaining complex theories in plain, entertaining ways

I'm keen for everyone to read Helgoland: a wonderfully lucid and poetic account of the foundations of quantum physics. It combines a compelling history with Rovelli's own intriguing - and for me very appealing - views about the basis of all things
