The Paradox of Ageing
Almost every country in the so-called developed world is facing the paradox of ageing. Thanks to science, more effective medication and higher living standards, more and more of us are exceeding the “three score years and ten” theoretical limits of the past despite the physical and mental impairments that develop with ageing.For those who are spared dementia or chronic pain, a long life is reason to celebrate. We will have a party when we are 80, an even bigger one if we reach 90 and if we hit treble twenty and double tops on life’s “dartboard”, the queen will send us a telegram (a text today perhaps!) of congratulation.For others, it means a slow decline towards a miserable and undignified dying. As economics, care needs and pressure on the availability of hospital beds have become more urgent public issues, the elderly infirm risk becoming marginalised. The social contributions made by care workers and the fact that they have been long de-valued and ill-paid, despite the economic benefits for both the NHS and society at large, is also being given a higher profile.Other difficult and sensitive issues concerning elderly care are assisted dying, better termed the “right” to die and the “quantity over quality” contradictions regarding care agencies and private residential nursing homes.Whatever solutions are offered in the future, it is surely time to highlight the value of carers – a profession that not only requires empathy and compassion but also deserves recognition and respect.

Three Score Years and Ten: or More?
Three Score Years and Ten: Or More? delves into the enduring fascination with individuals who live beyond 100 years. The intrigue centres not only on the accomplishment itself but also on the mysteries of how and why these people achieve such remarkable longevity.
This research shifts its focus from contemporary centenarians, whose ages can be more reliably verified due to improved record-keeping, to an earlier era marked by less clear historical records. It investigates the genesis of this interest and the emergence of what could be termed a ‘cult of centenarianism.’ During this period, claims of extreme old age sparked debates between believers and sceptics, creating a cultural divide.
The book also examines the significant role media played in this phenomenon. The portrayal and promotion of centenarians by the media of the time laid the groundwork for themes explored in this book, contributing to the ongoing public intrigue surrounding individuals of advanced age.

Living from the Inside Out
At some stage, many of us face a moment of reflection, looking in the mirror and wondering what happened to the carefree, dream-filled child we once were. It’s common to question whether it’s too late to pursue those dreams that once sparked such joy in our hearts.
Living from the Inside Out poses a crucial question: Do you see life as something that happens to you, or do you believe that you actively shape your own destiny? This book challenges the belief that we are mere victims of circumstance, presenting an empowering perspective. It delves into the age-old quest to understand the extent of our influence over our lives. Are we reactors to what life throws at us, or creators of our own path? Interestingly, these roles are composed of the same letters, just arranged differently. This metaphor serves as a reminder that we have the power to rearrange our perception of ourselves and the world around us, thereby actively creating our lives from the inside out, breathing life into dormant dreams, and moving beyond stress and dissatisfaction.
Author Claire Smedley introduces readers to the Kosha Roadmap, an ancient yogic model for living a fulfilling life. With her two decades of experience, Claire revitalizes this ancient wisdom, giving it a contemporary twist that is accessible to everyone. This book promises to transform your understanding of yourself and your life, serving as a guide to lasting happiness.

From the Channel to the Atlantic to the Mediterranean to the Alps, they experience France’s diverse beauty and culture up close. Along the way, they battle broken spokes, torrential rains, wrong turns, and leg-burning ascents.

Kate, visually impaired from a past accident, provides inspiration through her courage and determination.
Equal parts travelogue, cycling memoir, and love letter to France, Snails Around France proves it’s never too late to take on a crazy quest and Savor the rewards of traveling slow. Vive la France – and the intrepid snails who encircled it!
