| Title: Age Less |
| By (author): Greg Macpherson |
| ISBN10-13: 1776940768 : 9781776940769 |
| We are living longer and healthier lives than at any time in history. However, for all its successes, modern medicine has failed to make much progress against the diseases of ageing that kill most people- heart disease, cancer, Alzheimer's disease, and type 2 diabetes. Too often, it intervenes with treatments too late, prolonging lifespan at the expense of quality of life. Age Less takes readers through a short history of longevity to what we know now, to where we are likely to be within the next 5-10 years. The future sounds a bit like science fiction, but then what is common knowledge today would have sounded like science fiction (or sorcery) to someone living 100 years ago. Age Less also explains why we age, the scientific theories of ageing, and what everyone can do today to improve their chances of living a longer, healthier, disease-free life. |

| Title: Mozart |
| Sub-title: The man behind the music |
| By (author): Donovan Bixley |
| ISBN10-13: 1988516196 : 9781988516196 |
| Child prodigy, genius, freak, a man who lived frivolously and died a pauper... The myths surrounding Mozart, composer of some of the world's most sublime music, have long overtaken the known facts of his life. Now, in this charming and very personal tribute, artist Donovan Bixley offers a portrait of the composer that will forever change the way he is viewed. In nearly 100 original drawings and paintings, accompanied by text based on the many letters that he wrote during his life, beginning with the delightful, if misspelt, letters he wrote as a thirteen-year-old boy travelling in Italy with his father. Like his successful Much Ado About Shakespeare , Bixley brings Mozart to life with humour but also reflects the turmoil of the times in which he lived. This is a newly rendered version of the book successfully published in 2006. |
