It is! I've heard such good things about it, I'm excited. I've heard good things about White Teeth too, if you're looking for other books. Another book that I bought thanks to stellar recommendations was London: A Biography (link) by Peter Ackroyd.

Book weirdos unite! :)

I'm always suspicious of internet cafés. If not for money laundering, there's definitely dodgy stuff going on there. I'd recommend reading the book Dark Market by Misha Glenny to gain similar levels of paranoia to me.

Likewise, there are a number of really tacky looking suit shops in Holborn. I'm always amazed at how they can afford the rent, particularly as nobody has ever bought anything from them. They also tend to have a permanent closing down sale/be closed within a year and reinvented in the same place or a few doors down.

It depends on soil type and aspect largely. I'd recommend buying yourself a good garden plant book - this one is the bible as far as I'm concerned http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/0276000862/ - describes everything you need to know about a plants suitability for a spot.

Secondly - check out what grows well in your neighbours gardens.

I was going to post this, it is ai interesting read. Amazon link. I also hear good stuff about Dan Leno and the Limehouse Golem. .

The Prince of Wales in Highgate on a Tuesday night is quite well known for their quiz. There's even a book about it.

u/BCPhil · 2 pointsr/london

There's a book about being pain free that really helps. It's about addressing the root cause of the pain instead of the spot of the pain. Kind of like having the wheels aligned on the car instead of replacing tires that wear down on one side. The title talks about chronic pain, but I mostly get soreness from racquetball and it helps.

u/ludovician · 3 pointsr/london

Yeah, I started reading very early, and started asking awkward questions even earlier than that. This was the book.

u/mpbh91 · 2 pointsr/london

The Prince of Wales in Highgate Village is one of the hardest pub quizzes anywhere.

They've even published a book.

u/murphysclaw1 · 5 pointsr/london

I massively recommend Curiocity: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Curiocity-Alternative-Z-Henry-Eliot/dp/0141980796/ if you feel you are bored of London.

Absolutely eye opening, and I'm rarely impressed by these sort of guidebooks.

His headline is the same as the one he's posting, he's not really fear mongering, just repeating but that does encourage fear mongering by others.

Fear mongering is when a potential threat is exaggerated without the audiences awareness. Pretty good book that explores fearmongering, quite brief as well,

To fully understand the complexity and extent of the damage done to multiple organs over extensive periods by air pollution it is vital to know about the development of the capacities of the immune system, from foetus to grave (only 30% of heart attacks on the street make it to intervention). It has a memory all its own,and the scarring it causes is another sort of memory.

We owe the development of that understanding to Peter Medawar and the legions of researchers since.

A simple and crude overview can be found at:

A very recent textbook that does justice to the subject can be found at:

In the fullness of time this will be a commonplace, very unfortunately, it is not yet.The gap in knowledge left allows unscrupulous vested interests, and the governments they influence, to carry on exacting a horrendous price.

What connects diesel fumes, PAH’s , nanoparticles , cancer, asthma, heart disease, placental function, brain pathology and the immune system?
The AHR receptor.

The AHR receptor alters immune cell DNA to change cell populations and properties.

Millions of individuals worldwide are afflicted with acute and chronic respiratory diseases, causing temporary and permanent disabilities and even death. Often these diseases occur as a result of altered immune responses. The aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR), a ligand-activated transcription factor, acts as a regulator of mucosal barrier function and may influence immune responsiveness in the lungs through changes in gene expression, cell–cell adhesion, mucin production, and cytokine expression. This review updates the basic immunobiology of the AhR signaling pathway with regards to inflammatory lung diseases such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and silicosis following data in rodent models and humans.

Recent epidemiological studies have demonstrated associations between air pollution and adverse effects that extend beyond respiratory and cardiovascular disease, including low birth weight, appendicitis, stroke, and neurological/neurobehavioural outcomes (e.g., neurodegenerative disease, cognitive decline, depression, and suicide). To gain insight into mechanisms underlying such effects, researchers mapped gene profiles in the lungs, heart, liver, kidney, spleen, cerebral hemisphere, and pituitary of rats immediately and 24h after a 4-h exposure by inhalation to particulate matter and ozone. Pollutant exposure provoked differential expression of genes involved in a number of pathways, including antioxidant response, xenobiotic metabolism, inflammatory signalling, and endothelial dysfunction. The experimental data are consistent with epidemiological associations of air pollutants with extrapulmonary health outcomes and suggest a mechanism through which such health effects may be induced.

Is it? Or do people just like arguing against a hated and undefinable foe which they find it easy to displace their own problems on to. Paris is no different and indeed much worse for example and has always been so; with people living in shoe boxes with no kitchens or such.

Turns out in a city with one of the world's highest GDP per capita, shit gets expensive.

People act like this is a new thing because suddenly it affects them. Unlike their parents, who were happy living in a nice place in Milton Keynes rather than having the unbearable desire they cannot assuage to live in shiny London with all the cool people. This then propagates the need and desire without any real intent and further missing the concept of change in any socioeconomic dynamic over time.

The problem isn't property prices, it is status anxiety. Which this advert demonstrates.
