<b>How much do you know about your body? How much does your body know about you?<br/><br/> </b>Internationally celebrated choreographer and director Sir Wayne McGregor is renowned for his trailblazing innovations in performance. His ongoing enquiries into movement and the body have radically defined dance in the modern era. Over the past three decades, he has discovered that our intelligence lies not only in our brains, but in our bodies too. In <i>We Are Movement</i>, McGregor argues that physical intelligence is instinctive, pre-verbal, and continually upgrades itself. Mastering it will allow us all to release the knots in our physical and emotional selves, leaving us free to experience new forms of creativity and connection.<br/><br/>Drawing on his research with elite performers, athletes, cognitive neuroscientists, anthropologists and technologists, he shows how we can all become more physically fluent. Using simple steps, from being aware of our body language to conquering fear, he teaches us how to become better communicators and more creative thinkers, so we can ultimately live fuller lives. We all think physically - we just haven't been paying attention.<br/><br/>Elegant, cutting-edge and practical, <i>We Are Movement</i> is a user-friendly guide to priming your physical intelligence that will revolutionise the way you live your life.

<b>'A forensic exploration of their compositions and recordings, and everything that has been poured into them . . . completely definitive' <i>MOJO </i> </b><br/><br/>The story of Manic Street Preachers is unique in pop. Raging out of the stricken mining communities of south Wales in the late 80s, they were seemingly condemned to mere cult status by a cruel juncture of artistic triumph, commercial failure and personal despair. The story took a further agonising twist when the tragedy of Richey Edwards' 1995 disappearance was followed by a remarkable rebirth, built upon 'A Design For Life' - a hymn to the band's working-class roots - and then the award-winning, multi-million-selling album <i>Everything Must Go</i>, a majestic soundtrack to history and loss. Within five years, Manic Street Preachers were playing to 60,000 at the national stadium of Wales and had their second UK Number 1 single. Subsequent output has confirmed the band as both a wellspring of restless creativity and a barometer of the cultural conversation.<br/><br/>Because it was music that saved them, it's through the prism of their music that Keith Cameron tells the definitive history of Manic Street Preachers, drawing on many hours of new interviews to dive deep into 168 songs, from 1988 debut single 'Suicide Alley' to the late day peaks of 2025 album <i>Critical Thinking</i>. Writing with the band's full co-operation, his book charts the dynamic evolution of a universe in which Karl Marx and Kylie Minogue happily co-exist, that accords Rush and The Clash equal favour, and where Morrissey & Marr meet Torvill & Dean via Nietzsche and New Order in a single four-minute pop song - all in the name of what Nicky Wire himself calls 'the fabulous disaster' of Manic Street Preachers.
