Forget counting kilojoules and carbs! Stop the focus on fats and fructose! Is it really a treat? urges a shift in focus away from the extremes of gluten-free superfoods and highly processed convenient foods to a new way of thinking about food and eating. Our society suffers profoundly from illnesses caused by unhealthy eating. Attempts to change these eating behaviours and curb these illnesses have been unsuccessful. We need a new approach. And we all have a part to play. The essence of this new approach is an awareness of why we eat what, and how, we eat. How do we learn to like certain foods? What influences us to eat the amount we eat? What influences our children's eating behaviours? How can we change? What is the best we can do for our children? You will be primed with factual information and myths will be busted. You will be reminded of the obvious and you will be motivated to change your own eating behaviours. You will notice how you influence others, and how others influence you! Parents, partners, siblings, friends and grandparents..let's all support each other to live healthy lives. And, please, let's set the foundations in place for our precious children also to live healthy lives.

"Very comprehensive, well-researched and informative" - Jan Feuerstein, Save The Chimps Remarkable mini-biographies of some high profile chimps, including space travellers, Ham and Enos; Michael Jackson's chimp-child, Bubbles; Washoe and Nim, who learned sign language; Tarzan's side-kick Cheetah; London Zoo tea-party chimps; and 'actor' chimps in TV adverts. All were manipulated by humans to be substitutes for us, entertain us or act as celebrity accessories. This book salutes them and the many other unnamed and forgotten chimps who have done so much for humankind.

"'Sergeant, we lost eight drivers in that do. Can you train another eight by the end of the week?' "I knew I was training men to die." The sergeant is Wally and this is the poignant story of his perilous journey with the Royal Tank Regiment through World War Two. Wally is 'old' at 30, in charge of raw young men, some still in their teens. He is caring and sympathetic to his charges, but contemptuous of many officers he sees as unfit to lead.Wally has many lucky escapes under fire and survives the arduous years of conflict, seeing action in France, including Dunkirk, North Africa, Italy and Sicily. Despite this his only physical war wound is a scratch on his nose when the impact of a shell throws him to the ground. Wally's war isn't all doom and gloom. His enduring sense of humour shines through his anecdotes of day to day tasks and encounters.But the relentless succession of harrowing experiences, of seeing the men he'd trained die in front of him, takes its toll. He is invalided out with what is now called post traumatic stress disorder. That was on VE Day. Wally had managed to survive until the end.

These charming tales from 1960s London provide a unique insight into the everyday life of working class families at a time when much of the country was obsessed with pop culture and the new social freedoms that came hand in hand with the advent of the contraceptive pill. The stories, which are based on real events which happened during Julie Norton's childhood, were written by her mother, Mira Harmer, between 1965 and 1970, and appeared in the Daily Worker/Morning Star, where she worked as a feature writer. Funny, perceptive and at times poignant, this is a first hand account of the day-to-day lives of working people at a time when the media tended to concentrate on the antics of cult personalities such as Mary Quant, Twiggy and the Beatles. The stories are based on real events which Julie remembers from her childhood, and in places she's added her own comments and observations.
