For every woman who has pulled her hair out trying to explain, for the 46th time, the importance of putting the toilet seat down, there's a man sniggering, 'Someone's on the rag'. This book is for that justifiably furious gal.

The war between the sexes has raged for millennia and It's Not PMS, It's You! is a hilarious, take-no-prisoners reconnaissance mission into the minds and souls of men and the things they do to infuriate women

Beginning with a completely scientific, fairly non-hormonal look at the history of the term 'on the rag' and ending with the 'Diary of a Break Up in One Full Menstrual Cycle', this lighthearted guide discusses who should fund the medical research into why men do what they do, why men hate to talk about their feelings and an absolutely foolproof method for sustaining a long-term relationship.

Perfect for your girlfriends this Valentine's Day.

Vegetarian with a Vengeance is a cookbook for the 21st century. So much has changed since the first vegetarian cookbooks started appearing about 40 years ago. Not only is there a much wider range of appealing ingredients to choose from today but also recipes, cooking and tastes have all been completely revolutionised. Perhaps the biggest change is the starting point that vegetarian food should above all taste good. And so in this creative collection there are recipes for tapas, wraps, salads, sauces, salsas, hot dishes using rice, quinoa, noodles and potatoes, bean stews, curries, soups, sandwiches and packed lunches, breads, porridges and mueslis and puddings. This is quite simply a fantastic book with stunning photographs which will appeal to all-vegetarians as well as meat-eaters, whether they be children or adults.
