Just arriving this week are copies of Spooning with Rosie. Rosie runs the fabulous Rosie’s Deli Cafe in Brixton, London, and we think she is soon to be a star. We’ll be posting a series of short films with Rosie in the coming weeks, but in the meantime there’s a great introduction to Rosie and the cafe here.

In the spirit of giving books away for free, here is a chapter from Ben Goldacre’s book, ‘Bad Science’, that was made available as a free download on the Bad Science blog last month. The chapter relates the story of how Doctor Matthias Rath tried to sue Goldacre for writing about his questionable medical practices in the Guardian. Enjoy!

ACME Climate Action isn’t just a book – it’s a tear-out mission ‘to challenge the forces of Grievous Climate Behaviour’. Use it correctly and you’ll be posting, making, clicking, inspiring, reducing, campaigning, recycling and doing — this book won’t just tell you what to do, it will give you the kit to actually do something about climate change. And you can even turn the cover into a picture frame.
We’re publishing ACME Climate Action in June – and this short, fun film neatly sums up our very unusual project. We’d love to know what you think.
