7 Things Your Doctor
Forgot to Tell You
Dr Warren Sipser
and Andi Lew
7 Things invites the reader to explore
the idea that prevention is about
being proactive. It's a paradigm shift
from the medical model, which is
reactive, to the proactive approach
of wellness. The book is a scientifi c
guide with seven easy things you can
do to experience a greater quality
of life. 7 Things offers fresh insight
into ongoing health and wellness
by chiropractor Sipser and wife Lew.
From Poverty to Power
Duncan Green et al
From Poverty to Power highlights
the urgency of leaders,
organisations and individuals
acting now to build a secure, fair
and sustainable world before
climate change makes it
impossible. The book draws on the
experience of Oxfam International
in more than 70 countries and
creates a detailed picture of the
greatest challenges the world
faces: inequality, poverty and the
threat of environmental collapse.
Uncommon Sense
from an Uncommon Mind
Paul Gordon
We all know common sense will help
us achieve the life we want, but what
about uncommon sense? Whether it is
about returning to work after having a
baby, creating a positive environment
for a successful career, or discovering
`perfect' parenting skills, this book is
sure to turn on a few lightbulbs. With
a humorous and slightly irreverent turn
of phrase, each chapter in Uncommon
Sense
will take you on a journey and
knock some uncommon sense into you.

Taschen Books
The book is all about the dos and don'ts of web entrepreneurship. Have you ever wondered
why your website didn't quite match up to the success of your competitors or peers? Have

basic information only to fi nd it buried in a needlessly complex website? This book aims
to change that by bringing together some of the world's most highly acclaimed designers
and developers, spanning every continent, to share their knowledge and experience.
