What would you say if you knew there was ONE solution to every man’s most vexing problems? 
 
- Bigger muscles? Easy. 
- Less fat? Check. 
- More intelligence? No problem. 
- Eating pizza, burgers, drinking beer and being strong, fit and lean? Of course. 
- A wild sex life? Yes, there’s drugs-free fix for that too… 
 
The solution is in this book. Written by health pioneers and advisors to key influencers, including Tim Ferriss and Gary Vaynerchuk, Man 2.0 presents a unique 4-week diet and fitness plan to make you look and feel like the man you want to be. 
 
Clear and simple, the authors’ game-changing plan is the culmination of 10 years of work and research into the science of natural hormone optimisation. It involves a combination of intermittent fasting, carbs and calorie cycling, macronutrient manipulation, a targeted fitness regime (no more endless exercising) and a weekly overeating day. Within the first week you will feel better in terms of brain functioning, energy and sex drive; within two you will start to notice fat loss; and by the end of four weeks you can expect to have lost on average 8–11lbs (3–5kg) of fat and gained about 1–3lbs (½–1 ½kg) of muscle. 
 
Man 2.0 is not just about getting quick results: it presents a whole new way of life. It offers a cutting-edge look at the future of health and the key to how every man can become the person he wants to be.

Sue Elliott

Adoption is one of the great, untold stories of our recent past. It is a truly epic tale of loss, guilt, identity, family feuds, reunion and redemption. It is a subject, until very recently, surrounded by secrecy and taboos. 
 
This is the heart-warming true story of a little girl's adoption in the 1950s and her search, nearly forty years later, for her birth mother. When mother and daughter meet, Sue thinks she has finally reached the end of her journey. Then Sue discovers she wasn't the only baby her mother gave away ... 
 
Weaved throughout is the vivid, emotional history of adoption in the UK. Drawing on a wide range of intimate personal experiences, it outlines the forces that shaped 20th century adoption practice, from baby-farming, the stigma of illegitimacy, incest and the bastardy laws, to children taken by force, the Magdalene laundries, mass emigration schemes without parental consent, to modern day adoption practices, buying babies from abroad, sperm donor fathers and tearful reunions on Trisha.
