SUMMARY:Juliet Nicholson
DESCRIPTION:Juliet Nicolson is a British author and journalist known for nonfiction exploring British social history\, family life and postwar culture. A granddaughter of writers Vita Sackville-West and Harold Nicolson\, she combines memoir with historical research. Her acclaimed books include The Great Silence\, About Britain after World War I\, and Frostquake\, on the severe winter of 1962–63 and its impact on British society. \nThe Book of Revelations – Women and Their Secrets\nA fascinating blend of social history and first-person stories looking at women and their secrets – and what they tell us about our changing times. Do you want to know a secret? The average person is keeping thirteen secrets at any one time\, five of which they’ve never shared with a soul. A secret can thrill one person and destroy another; and the deepest ones echo far down the generations. The Book of Revelations is a book about the secrets women keep: the ones they are forced into\, the ones they hold through shame\, and the ones they share. Told through a kaleidoscopic blend of first-person stories and memoir\, from the ‘silent generation’ of women in the 1950s to the influencers of the 2020s\, we witness long-buried family secrets aired at last and the repercussions which occur when women who have been forced to keep quiet find their voice. Finally\, we are compelled to wonder whether women are once again in danger of being silenced by censure\, caution and fear.

SUMMARY:Tim Spector
DESCRIPTION:Tim Spector is a Professor of Epidemiology at Kings College London. He is the best selling author of the Diet Myth\, Spoon-Fed\, Food for Life\, and scientific co-founder of ZOE\, a nutrition science company. With focus on cutting-edge science and honoured with an OBE for his work in fighting COVID-19\, Tim stands at the forefront of his field\, and is among the top 100 most cited scientists in the world. \nFerment\nTim Spector is on a mission to bring fermenting into our lives and kitchens. Drawing on cutting-edge science and his own experiments\, with practical tips and recipes\, Ferment is an accessible introduction and guide for beginners and fermenting enthusiasts alike. Fermenting is one of the most ancient techniques for preparing and preserving foods and drinks\, requiring no more than a little knowledge\, time\, patience and basic materials to turn the humblest of ingredients into the richest of nutritional sources. Yet the wide-ranging benefits of fermenting – nutritional\, ecological\, financial and\, yes\, taste – are unspoken\, and many people feel too intimidated to give fermenting a go. With his well-known conviction\, clarity and authority\, Tim Spector is here to share that ferments are the surprisingly delicious discovery that have most transformed his diet. He explains their extraordinary potential to rapidly and cheaply improve our gut microbes and general health more than any other food group\, and shows the endless simple and tasty ways to bring them into our daily lives. \nFerment cuts through myths and misunderstanding to help us navigate the fascinating world of ferments and their extraordinary benefits for our health\, our meal times\, and our planet.
