New medicines in the pipeline can extend lives, save money, and even help prevent disease before symptoms appear ? if we don’t discourage their innovators and investors by trying to lower drug prices artificially. Unlocking Precision Medicine explores the environment necessary for creation of these health care game-changers, and explains how the marketplace can effectively make them more affordable to all without killing the golden goose.

Sex, Lies and Handlebar Tape is the astonishing biography of French cycling star Jacques Anquetil. For the first time since his death in 1987, it reveals the extraordinary truth behind the legend, the man and the cyclist. His list of 'firsts' alone makes him worthy of a place in the cycling pantheon: the first man to win the Tour de France five times; the first man to win all three grand tours - the Tour de France, Giro d'Italia and Vuelta a España; and the first man to win both the Tour and Vuelta in the same year. However, the extraordinary life of Anquetil does not stop at his achievements on a bike. He candidly admitted to using drugs, offended legions of fans by confessing that his only motivation for riding was financial and infamously indulged his enthusiasm for the high life. He also seduced and married his doctor's wife, had a child with her daughter and then sustained a ménage à trois with both wife and stepdaughter under the same roof for 12 years. When this 'family' eventually imploded, he attempted to inspire jealousy in his former lovers by having a child with his stepson's ex-wife. Containing exclusive contributions from Anquetil's family, friends, teammates and rivals, Sex, Lies and Handlebar Tape untangles myth from reality and confirms that fact is definitely stranger than fiction.

One man's story of life in The Joy -- compulsive, chilling and frank. A no-holds-barred account of a criminal's time in the notorious Dublin prison, as revealed to journalist Paul Howard. This extraordinary life story tells it all. The desperate lifestyle of a junkie; bullying and savage beatings among the prisoners; ingenious drug-smuggling ploys; the despairing cry for help of a failed suicide attempt. But alongside the pain there is humour -- from the hilarity of World Cup celebrations to the distraction of a beautiful aerobics teacher, from bingeing on altar wine to the shortest-ever "hunger strike". The first ever glimpse of Mountjoy Prison -- from the inside. Illustrated with black & white photographs. With a new introduction by the author.

The Crucifixion has been cancelled. The Aztecs and the Sioux are threatening nuclear war. The armies of Ancient Rome and Carthage have been destroyed by a force field. Human history is unraveling, and only a few people realize it is happening; the same team of music historians who faced an imploding universe a few years earlier. But this is different. The damage is being done by millions of people from the future, and they don't even know why it is happening. Who would do such a thing? The answers can only be found by taking a roller coaster ride through time where everything is constantly changing right before their eyes, and by enlisting the help of super A. I. from the distant future; machines millions of times more intelligent than humans. Can a handful of time traveling music experts muster these forces in time to save the Earth? The clock is ticking, and each second reduces their chances of success in a timeline so volatile that it can make people forget who they are and what they are doing just by being in it. The Second installment in The Timelines Series, it is another wild ride through time and technology with a random element nobody figured on: Who are those people in that Grand Cherokee and what are they up to?
