How Babies Sleep - Professor Helen L. Ball

The definitive new science and data-led guide on baby sleep for new parents from director of the University Durham Sleep Infancy Centre, Professor Helen L. Ball. â ˜As compassionate as it is clinically rigorous . . . a myth-busting, parent-respecting, evidence-soaked call to rethink everything we think we know about infant sleep.â ™Guddi Singh, British Medical Journalâ ˜Clearly written and engaging, with really useful suggestions that will help manage parentsâ ™ expectations and anxiety, How Babies Sleep is a must-read for anybody who wants to understand the first 365 days of a human life.â ™Russell Foster, neuroscientist and bestselling author of Life Time---How babies sleep is both exceedingly simple and excruciatingly complex. It is simple because it is based on a few straightforward biological principles that affect all babies the world over. It is complex because we have made it so. Over the past century and a half, we have tried to manipulate baby sleep to fit with the rapidly changing nature of adult lives. The mismatch we have created with our babiesâ ™ biology is framed as â ˜baby sleep problemsâ ™, and infants are often â ˜treatedâ ™ using behavioural and clinical interventions. But it is not baby sleep that needs fixing â “ only our understanding of it. In How Babies Sleep, pioneering and award-winning infant sleep researcher Professor Helen Ball brings together cutting-edge science, anthropological insight and practical advice to provide parents with everything they need to help them confidently â “ and sanely â “ navigate the first 365 night-times with a new baby. It will teach you how to harmonise your needs with those of your infant, and empower you to reject approaches that make you uncomfortable and experiment with strategies that work for you and your family. ----â ˜Finally â ” the baby sleep book all new parents actually need.â ™ Amanda Ruggeri, award-winning science and parenting journalistâ ˜An accessible, intelligent account of the issues around baby sleep.â ™ Sue Gerhardt, psychotherapist and bestselling author of Why Love Matters The most important voice we have to bring clarity.â ™ Greer Kirshenbaum, neuroscientist, doula and author of The Nurture Revolutionâ ˜A must-read . . .

How to Raise a Viking - Helen Russell

Top-notch⠙Good Housekeeping ⠓ BEST PARENTING BOOKS Helen has a way to take big ideas and convey them with warmth and wisdom Dr Rangan Chatterjee A well researched study injected with humour and humanity Mail on Sunday*Featured on The Happiness Lab with Dr Laurie Santos*What do Vikings know about raising children? Turns out, quite a lot⠦After a decade of living in Denmark and raising a family there, Helen Russell noticed that Nordic children are different. They eat differently. They learn differently. They run, jump and climb out in nature for hours a day, even though the weather is terrible and it s dark October to March. And then they grow up to be some of the happiest adults on the planet. Her question was: how?In How to Raise a Viking, Russell takes a deep dive into the parenting culture of Denmark and the other Nordic nations, from parental leave policies to school structure, screen time, and the surprising customs that lead to happy, well-adjusted humans. This fascinating peek behind the cultural curtain allows readers a glimpse of another world, where babies sleep outside in their prams up to -20°C and pre-schoolers wield axes.Refreshingly funny and unfailingly optimistic about the new generation of humans growing up in the world right now, this is a heart-warming love letter to Russell⠙s adopted homeland and proof that we could all do with a bit more Viking in our lives. Ditch all the other parenting books. This is the one ⠓ funny, helpful, doable and not guilt-inducing.

Viking parenting is about raising children to be self-assured, capable and connected to the natural world⠙ The Week

How to Sleep Like a Caveman - Merijn van de Laar

Sleep has hardly changed since Paleolithic humans snoozed soundly in their caves. While sabre-toothed tigers were their biggest night-time worry, today itâ ™s stress and social media that keep us awake, but the solutions are the same, and sleep therapist Dr Merijn van de Laar offers understanding and advice to have you sleeping better within weeks. How to get a better nightâ ™s sleep in 3 weeks: Donâ ™t believe everything you read or hear about sleepLet go of the 8-hour ruleUse the simple sleep diary in the back of this book to record your sleep pattern over 3 weeksDiscover your personal sleep needsExamine your attitude towards lying awake at nightShorter total bed times might be betterFocus on the reason for lying awake rather than on the reason for not sleepingReduce stressKeep regular bedtimesFollow the rules of natureRespect your personal circadian rhythmDonâ ™t tempt the night-time ghosts Human sleep as we know it today evolved hundreds of thousands years ago, to suit a hunterâ “gatherer lifestyle. Itâ ™s not always compatible with our modern lives, but remains an essential function, vital for our health, well-being and daytime functioning. In this groundbreaking new book, Dr Merijn van de Laar investigates the origins of sleep based on archaeological findings and anthropological studies in contemporary hunter-gatherers, looking at the major discrepancies between our primordial bodily needs and our current sleep-inhibiting behaviour. Cave dwellers lived in balance with the forces of nature. They had adapted perfectly to environmental influences such as light, temperature and seasonal variations. The way they ate and moved during the day must have had a positive effect on sleep quality. We need to look to their example, and adjust our eating, exercise, light, temperature and, last but not least: our expectations towards sleep. By taking on board the ancient wisdom of our ancestors, we will improve the quality of our sleep, the way our bodies were designed to do it.

How to Grow a Human - Philip Ball

A cutting-edge examination of what it means to be human and to have a self in the face of new scientific developments in genetic editing, cloning and neural downloading.After seeing his own cells used to grow clumps of new neurons â “ essentially mini-brains â “ Philip Ball begins to examine the concepts of identity and consciousness. Delving into humanity s deep evolutionary past to look at how complex creatures like us emerged from single-celled life, he offers a new perspective on how humans think about ourselves.In an age when we are increasingly encouraged to regard the self as an abstract sequence of genetic information, or as a pattern of neural activity that might be downloaded to a computer, he return us to the body â “ to flesh and blood â “ and anchors a conception of personhood in this unique and ephemeral mortal coil. How to Build a Human brings us back to ourselves â “ but in doing so, it challenges old preconceptions and values. It asks us to rethink how we exist in the world.

Understanding the Holocaust at KS3: How and why did it happen? - Dr Andy Pearce, Professor Stuart Foster, Helen McCord, Dr Eleni Karayianni

In 2016 the UCL Centre for Holocaust Education published a landmark study, What do students know and understand about the Holocaust? Almost 10,000 students aged 11 to 18 participated in the research. It was the largest of its kind anywhere in the world. The study indicated that the vast majority of young people found the subject interesting and relevant. However, it also revealed that many students did not have clear knowledge and understanding of the Holocaust.Written in direct response to the findings of the 2016 national study, this textbook significantly improves understanding of the Holocaust by: Providing you with an appropriate historical overview of key aspects of the Holocaust Helping you to understand the long-standing hatred of Jews (i.e., the roots of antisemitism) Deepening your knowledge and understanding of the Holocaust Encouraging you to challenge common myths and misconceptions (e.g., that Hitler was solely responsible for the Holocaust) Developing your understanding of key historical concepts (e.g., evidence, interpretation, causation, significance) Enabling you to answer the big historical question: How and why did the Holocaust happen? Helping you to appreciate the impact of the Holocaust on ordinary people across Europe Inviting you to consider the importance of the Holocaust and its significance todayThis textbook is supported by additional materials and teacher guidance notes on the UCL Centre for Holocaust Education website (holocausteducation.org.uk).The original design, development and distribution of this textbook was funded by the Toni Schiff Memorial Fund and the Pears Foundation. The Centre is enormously grateful for their support. The Wiener Holocaust Library also provided considerable assistance in developing the textbook.

How to Talk with Anyone about Anything - Helen LaKelly Hunt, Ph.D., Harville Hendrix

Now available in trade paper!Relationships everywhere are in crisis due to our inability to talk about difference without polarizing. Since objection to difference is the core human problem, we need a skill that helps us connect beyond difference. That s just what New York Times bestselling authors Dr. Harville Hendrix and Dr. Helen LaKelly Hunt offer in their new book: How To Talk With Anyone About Anything. They call it the Safe Conversations Dialogue process, which everyone can learn and teach, that moves all relationships from danger to safety, making connecting possible.For centuries, most of us humans have talked to others in monologues, believing that the world is the way we see it, that what we say about it is the truth and we have assumed that everyone sees it our way. If they do not, we experience tension and conflict on many levels. On the other hand, few of us have ever listened to others while they are talking and tried to see the world from their point of view while retaining our own perspective. Instead of listening to understand and collaborate about our differences, we tend to replace their perspective with our own. This results in polarization, not only in our personal lives and work environments, but also in the political and religious arenas we inhabit. This has led to anxiety, frustration, anger, violence, and war. Clearly, the world needs a new way to talk that transcends difference and leads to collaboration, co-creation, and cooperation.Getting the Love You Want, teach that the practice of Safe Conversations Dialogue impacts the physics of the Space Between. Here is what they mean:All of us live in and are a part of an energy field in which everything everywhere is connecting with everything everywhere. This energy field occupies the Space-Between us.When there is safety in the energy field that occupies the Space-Between us, we can connect.When there is anxiety in the Space Between, we defend ourselves. We cannot connect but tend to polarize.Anyone, if they decide to, can restore safety in the Space Between by using a structure conversation skill called the Safe Conversations Dialogue. In How to Talk with Anyone about Anything, Harville and Helen share the wisdom of the Safe Conversations process and the four structured and teachable skills that create safety and connection:Dialogue: Dialogue is two or more people taking turns talking and listening. Monologue is one person talking and expecting everyone else to listen. When two or more people shift from Monologue to Dialogue, they can transform any relationship from conflict to safety, connection and collaboration.Zero Negativity: Negativity disrupts safety and is non-negotiable for safe and thriving relationships. When Dialogue is practiced with Zero Negativity, criticism about what one does not have is replaced with a positive request for what one wants. This transforms conflict into safety and connecting.Empathy: Empathy is the capacity to experience or imagine how another person has gone through life. When Dialogue is practiced with empathy, one can more easily accept the different perspective of another person and maintain one s own perspective without polarizing.Affirmation: Affirmation is valuing another person because they exist rather than for what they have done for you. When Dialogue includes affirmation, the other person experiences themselves as human rather than as an object that is valued because of what they do. How to Talk with Anyone about Anything offers the keys to unlocking your ability to connect with others in a new and profoundly different way. And, as more of us hone that ability, together, we can bring about a fundamental shift in society away from our current focus on the self and polarization about difference towards safety and true connection that includes total personal freedom, universal equality, radical inclusion, and celebration of diversity—a society in which we all collaborate with each other without surrendering our differences, co-create with each other about new solutions and cooperate with other to put them into practice. Then we will all live in the world of our dreams.

How to End a Story - Helen Garner

I revere Helen Garner s writing, and it s in her diaries that she s at her acute, rigorous, pitch-perfect best Nigella Lawson I come back again and again to Garner s diaries and always find something new to admire. Her wit and observations are brilliant and her thoughts on writing are a guide Daisy Johnson I love Helen Garner s diaries. I would read her grocery lists Fatima Bhutto The diaries are the apotheosis of Helen Garner s entire career, and the most exciting thing she has ever published . . . Beautiful, riveting, formally electrifying Lit HubLooking out the window at the two big gum trees, as it gets dark, I think: the only way I can go on keeping a diary - the bits about myself, anyway, i.e. most of it - is to conceive of it as a record of soul. Helen Garner has kept a diary for most of her adult life. Now she is widely recognised as one of the greatest writers of our age. But, of all her books, it is her diaries that she likes best.Collected for the first time into one volume, these inimitable diaries show Garner like never before: as a fledging author in bohemian Melbourne, publishing her lightning-rod debut novel while raising a young daughter in the 1970s; in the throes of an all-consuming love affair in the 1980s; and clinging to a disintegrating marriage in the 1990s.How to End a Story reveals the inner life of a woman in love, a mother, a friend and a formidable writer at work. Told with devastating honesty, steel-sharp wit and an ecstatic attention to the details of everyday life, it offers all the satisfactions of a novel alongside the enthralling intimacy of something written in private and just for pleasure.

How to Read Literature Like a Professor [Third Edition] - Thomas C. Foster

Thoroughly revised and expanded for a new generation of readers, this classic guide to enjoying literature to its fullest—a lively, enlightening, and entertaining introduction to a diverse range of writing and literary devices that enrich these works, including symbols, themes, and contexts—teaches you how to make your everyday reading experience richer and more rewarding. While books can be enjoyed for their basic stories, there are often deeper literary meanings beneath the surface. How to Read Literature Like a Professor helps us to discover those hidden truths by looking at literature with the practiced analytical eye—and the literary codes—of a college professor.What does it mean when a protagonist is traveling along a dusty road? When he hands a drink to his companion? When he’s drenched in a sudden rain shower? Thomas C. Foster provides answers to these questions as he explores every aspect of fiction, from major themes to literary models, narrative devices, and form. Offering a broad overview of literature—a world where a road leads to a quest, a shared meal may signify a communion, and rain, whether cleansing or destructive, is never just a shower—he shows us how to make our reading experience more intellectually satisfying and fun.The world, and curricula, have changed. This third edition has been thoroughly revised to reflect those changes, and features new chapters, a new preface and epilogue, as well as fresh teaching points Foster has developed over the past decade. Foster updates the books he discusses to include more diverse, inclusive, and modern works, such as Angie Thomas’s The Hate U Give; Emily St. John Mandel’s Station Eleven; Neil Gaiman’s Neverwhere; Elizabeth Acevedo’s The Poet X; Helen Oyeyemi s Mr. Fox and Boy, Snow, Bird; Sandra Cisneros’s The House on Mango Street; Zora Neale Hurston’s Their Eyes Were Watching God; Maggie O’Farrell’s Hamnet; Madeline Miller’s Circe; Pat Barker’s The Silence of the Girls; and Tahereh Mafi’s A Very Large Expanse of Sea.

A fascinating exposé of the world behind your screen. Timely, often disturbing, and so important Caroline Criado Perez, author of Invisible Women Takes us beyond Zuckerberg, Bezos et al to a murkier world where we discover how everything online works and who benefits from it. Fascinating, engaging and important Observer Could not be more timely Spectator The internet is a network of physical cables and connections, a web of wires enmeshing the world, linking huge data centres to one another and eventually to us. All are owned by someone, financed by someone, regulated by someone. We refer to the internet as abstract from reality. By doing so, we obscure where the real power lies. In this powerful and necessary book, James Ball sets out on a global journey into the inner workings of the system. From the computer scientists to the cable guys, the billionaire investors to the ad men, the intelligence agencies to the regulators, these are the real-life figures powering the internet and pulling the strings of our society. Ball brilliantly shows how an invention once hailed as a democratising force has concentrated power in places it already existed – that the system, in other words, remains the same as it did before.

How Life Works - Philip Ball

Biology is undergoing a quiet but profound transformation. Several aspects of the standard picture of how life works have been exposed as incomplete, misleading, or wrong.In How Life Works, Philip Ball explores the new biology, revealing life to be a far richer, more ingenious affair than we had guessed. With this knowledge come new possibilities. Today we can redesign and reconfigure living systems, tissues, and organisms.We can reprogram cells, for instance, to carry out new tasks and grow into structures not seen in the natural world. Some researchers believe that ultimately we will be able to regenerate limbs and organs, and perhaps even create new life forms that evolution has never imagined. Incorporating the latest research and insights, How Life Works is a sweeping journey into this new frontier of the nature of life, a realm that will reshape our understanding of life as we know it.

Awakened Sleep - Dr. Suhas Kshirsagar, Dr. Sheila Patel

We spend a third of our life sleeping, so why not use that time more effectively?Sleep is a miracle cure that optimizes all of our body s functions. And yet we are not optimizing this incredible tool. With the increasingly hectic pace of our daily lives, compounded by the prevalence of so many gadgets and machines and the sheer amount of time we spend attached to our screens, it s little wonder that so few of us are getting our beauty sleep.We know we re not getting enough sleep, but we don t know how to fix it. What most of us don t realize is that we all have the capacity for awakened sleep. Awakened sleep slowly trains the sleeper to have optimal energy, superior cognition and brain functioning, more balanced emotions, and longevity - especially when compared to the average seven hours of sleep.Awakened Sleep bridges the gap between science and ancient wisdom traditions so we can improve our lives. It is the first comprehensive sleep manual that guides the reader through the current science of sleep but goes several steps beyond by offering an understanding of the higher states of consciousness that emerge from sleep and dreaming, which in turn, impact our spiritual awareness and the subtler aspects of our overall health. With a Foreword by Deepak Chopra, Awakened Sleep fuses cutting-edge scientific research with age-old Vedic practices for balanced, restorative sleep.Including a comprehensive sleep hygiene protocol and an assessment to uncover your own unique sleep patterns, Awakened Sleep reveals why a good day-indeed, a good life-always begins the night before.

A wonderful introduction to historyâ ™s most influential scribblers â “ Steven PinkerWhat is truly at stake in politics? Nothing less than how we should live, as individuals and as communities. This book goes beyond the surface headlines, the fake news and the hysteria to explore the timeless questions posed and answers offered by a diverse group of the 30 greatest political thinkers who have ever lived.Are we political, economic, or religious animals? Should we live in small city-states, nations, or multinational empires? What values should politics promote? Should wealth be owned privately or in common? Do animals also have rights? There is no idea too radical for this global assortment of thinkers, which includes: Confucius; Plato; Augustine; Machiavelli; Burke; Wollstonecraft; Marx; Nietzsche; Gandhi; Qutb; Arendt; Nussbaum, Naess and Rawls. In each brief chapter, the authors paint a vivid portrait of these often prescient, always compelling political thinkers, showing how their ideas grew out of their own dramatic lives and times and evolved beyond them. Now more than ever we need to be reminded that politics can be a noble, inspiring and civilising art. And if we want to understand todayâ ™s political world, we need to understand the foundations of politics and its architects. This is the perfect guide to both.

Letter from New York - Helene Hanff

Manderley Press is delighted to announce the publication of a brand-new edition of Helene Hanff s Letter from New York - another literary jewel from the author of 84, Charing Cross Road. To showcase this wonderful book, we commissioned the New York Times bestselling author Jean Hanff Korelitz (The Plot) to pen a new introduction - she is a cousin of Helene Hanff s, and was inspired to become a writer after meeting her as a teenager. The front cover was specially designed by New Yorker illustrator Bruce Eric Kaplan, also a fan of the author and a resident of New York City too. Over several years, Helene Hanff read aloud these stories of her life in New York for BBC Radio 4 s Woman s Hour. This book is a collection of selected scripts from this series, composed with a British audience in mind, in which the author offers us a glimpse into her own everyday tales of the city. Written in her trademark whimsical and upbeat style, Helene Hanff transports us right to the heart of Manhattan in the 1980s, describing her favourite places, people and pets with gentle humour, and introducing the reader to the ups and downs of life in a high-rise apartment building in New York City ( the last small town in America ). We are introduced to Bentley, the Old English Sheepdog belonging to a neighbour who captured the author s heart; we take a stroll through the beautiful Shakespeare s Garden in Central Park; and we join the author to enjoy annual city parades down Fifth Avenue - especially the St Patrick s Day parade, when the whole of New York turned green. And we meet Helene s friends: Arlene, whose glamorous social life - and wardrobe - puts Hanff s tiny apartment and simple writer s life into perspective, and Nina, whose garden on the sixteenth-floor overflows with flowers and fruit trees. Finally, we accompany the author as she travels to London to celebrate the opening night of the dramatisation of her best-selling book 84, Charing Cross Road. What started out as a six-month trial in 1978 eventually turned into a six-year project, during which time Helene Hanff captivated radio audiences with her monthly broadcasts - each one a love letter to her beloved NYC. Long before the cast of Friends - and Sarah Jessica Parker s iconic evocation of life in the city - recreated a New York existence for us to experience vicariously, these 5-minute vignettes were the perfect way for native New Yorkers and international readers alike, to revel in the quotidian as well as the glamour of city life, and to discover the unexpected hidden gems - and treasured traditions - of New York City. Letter from New York is still a delight to read, 40 years after it was first written - a timeless and beguiling tale of everyday life in this great city, by one of the best-loved authors of the 20th-century.

Fighting Sleep - Franny Nudelman

On April 21, 1971, hundreds of Vietnam veterans fell asleep on the National Mall, wondering whether they would be arrested by daybreak. Veterans had fought the courts for the right to sleep in public while demonstrating against the war. When the Supreme Court denied their petition, they decided to break the law and turned sleep into a form of direct action. During and after the Second World War, military psychiatrists used sleep therapies to treat an epidemic of combat fatigue. Inducing deep and twilight sleep in clinical settings, they studied the effects of war violence on the mind and developed the techniques of brainwashing that would weaponize both memory and sleep. In the Vietnam War era, radical veterans reclaimed the authority to interpret their own traumatic symptoms—nightmares, flashbacks, insomnia—and pioneered new methods of protest. In Fighting Sleep, Franny Nudelman recounts the struggle over sleep in the postwar world, revealing that sleep was instrumental to the development of military science, professional psychiatry, and antiwar activism. Traversing the fields of military and mainstream psychiatry, popular and institutional film, documentary sound technology, brain warfare, and postwar social movements, she demonstrates that sleep—far from being passive, empty, or null—is a site of contention and a source of political agency.
