UPDATED EDITION WITH OVER FIFTY NEW STORIES 'A FIRST-RATE BOOK' - THE OBSERVER Laura Buxton, aged ten, releases a balloon from her garden. It lands 140 miles away in the garden of another Laura Buxton, aged ten. Coincidence? Or something beyond coincidence? Is someone playing snap with our lives? Could it be the hand of God? Or are we, as some scientists have suggested, being granted an insight into a hyper-connected universe whose ubiquitous web-like workings we can only dimly discern? Beyond Coincidence is a celebration of the universe's most beguiling phenomenon, containing more than 250 amazing stories of coincidence. From sympathetic magic to the science of probability, from the vicissitudes of gamblers to the mysterious communions of subatomic particles, this book chases coincidence in all its many guises, analysing how it affects every aspect of our lives and why it means so much to even the most sceptical of us.
A mathematical guide to understanding why life can seem to be one big coincidence-and why the odds of just about everything are better than we would think. What are the chances?

A feel good love story where sometimes first impressions can be very wrong... Perfect for the fans of Miranda Dickenson and Paige Toon. Valentina Harrison is a PA at an international advertising agency but when her boss disappears, James Spencer is flown in from the New York office to take over the helm. James is handsome, successful and arrogant, Valentina is intelligent but, compared to the other fashionistas in her Milan office, rather plain and different. Because of this James treats her with contempt; needless to say Valentina can't stand him. As their work brings them closer together, James and Valentina discover that first impressions can be wrong, so very wrong... What readers are saying about FINDING YOU: 'A well constructed read that got me reading at every moment I could' 'Sweet and funny!' 'It will make you swoon, cry, laugh out loud, ignore your family and firmly embed itself in your head and heart'

Evidence shows that a multidisciplinary approach to Parkinson's care provides better patient outcomes and is more cost effective.
