The world of maths can seem mind-boggling, irrelevant and, let's face it, boring. This groundbreaking book reclaims maths from the geeks. Mathematical ideas underpin just about everything in our lives: from the surprising geometry of the 50p piece to how probability can help you win in any casino. In search of weird and wonderful mathematical phenomena, Alex Bellos travels across the globe and meets the world's fastest mental calculators in Germany and a startlingly numerate chimpanzee in Japan.

Penguin presents the audiobook edition of Thomas Cromwell by Diarmid MacCulloch, read by David Rintoul. Thomas Cromwell is one of the most famous - or notorious - figures in English history. Born in obscurity in Putney, he became a fixer for Cardinal Wolsey in the 1520s. After Wolsey's fall, Henry VIII promoted him to a series of ever greater offices, and by the end of the 1530s he was effectively running the country for the King.

In a time where humans are struggling to navigate cityscapes, isolation and a loneliness epidemic, Ward shows us that studying the social behaviour of animals offers insights valuable in their own right as well as a window into the evolutionary basis of our own species.

When Michelle Thomas suffered her first major depressive episode six years ago, she read and watched and listened to everything about mental health she could get her hands on in an effort to fix herself. God, it was tedious. And, quite frankly, depressing. Which is the last thing she needed. What she did need was a therapist who would listen and offer a wellness strategy catered to her specific needs. What she got was advice to watch a few YouTube videos and a cheerful reminder that 'it could be worse'.

When the narrator of Swann's Way dips a petite madeleine into hot tea, the act transports him to his childhood in the French town of Combray. Out of his Pandora's box of reflections comes a memory of an old family friend, Swann - a man who was long ago undone by romantic desire and cruel reality.

"For a mindful sleep"
I actually couldn't tell you much about Day 4 For a Mindful Sleep - since I've started listening to this as I settle to sleep, I've zonked out almost immediately and slept right through, waking refreshed and ready for the day. Bought on a whim on a daily deal, I'm exceptionally pleased with my purchase.

Just sound
I got this in a sale thinking it would have a little more to it, but it really is just a load of sounds. The first one is 7 minutes of gongs. Fair enough if this works for you, but it's not for me. I was looking for something that provided some structured meditation and insight.

Listened, slept, job done
Had some real trouble sleeping lately, Tried the sleep chapter and it worked, Couple of minutes of talking, a minute or two of wind chimes, then some ‘noise’ that I can’t quite describe. I’m not sure what happens next because I’m asleep. I set audible to sleep at end of chapter, and next even reached the middle of the chapter, which is about 45minutes. The price of a good night’s sleep is worth a hundred times what I paid for this (daily deal), so for this sleep section alone it gets a total 5 star rating from me.

Something a bit different
- This is not a fully guided meditation - It is about Sound Meditation, as the title says.(Not sure why people are reviewing this as if it is a guided meditation, lol) Anyway, this was quite hard for me to get used to at first, it is unusual - but please persevere if you feel the same. My most used chapter, is the "Sleep" meditation. It sounds a bit odd, almost sinister - like the incidental music in a creepy film scene. But for some reason it works! I cannot explain it better than this, and I'm sure some would disagree; but as someone who has trouble getting over to sleep, this has been a godsend. I still don't understand why, though :-)

Affordable and accessible sound baths
I got this when it was on offer so considering the convenience of a sound bath in your own home it is incredible value for the price. I don’t like all of the offerings and prefer the ones without the vocals, but that is a minor complaint. I have returned numerous times to the sound bath for sleep. I don’t have sleep problems but it is a great way to let the day go and wind down for sleep.

Annoying
Honestly wish I could recommend this for meditation but I just found it irritating. This just jarred and annoyed me. I really don't think I can even try to give it a chance to grow on me because of the depth of the negativity it left me feeling. It just makes me feel desolate like drifting in space in an abandoned spacecraft. If that's what floats your meditation boat ...enjoy.

Not what I expected
I was looking for peaceful sounds but was surprised by what I would describe as the soundtrack of a scary movie. Listened to bits and pieces of every chapter looking for something lighter but didn’t find it. Wish I could get a refund.
