  John Bowlby transformed how we understand love, loss, and the bonds that shape us. As the father of attachment theory, he reshaped psychology, parenting, and modern therapy—yet the man behind the science carried mysteries of his own. 
  Searching for Bowlby traces his journey from an emotionally distant childhood to a pioneering career that challenged the foundations of mental health. Through setbacks, breakthroughs, and a relentless search for truth, Bowlby revealed what many resisted: human connection isn’t a luxury. It’s survival. 
  Blending biography, history, and psychology, this audiobook offers an intimate portrait of a complicated thinker and a clear look at the revolution he started. For anyone interested in relationships, healing, or the deeper roots of human behavior, it shows how one man’s determination forever changed the way we understand ourselves and each other.

  After Redlining - The Urban...

  Focusing on Chicago’s West Side, After Redlining illuminates how urban activists were able to change banks’ behavior to support investment in communities that they had once abandoned. 
   
  American banks, to their eternal discredit, long played a key role in disenfranchising nonwhite urbanites and, through redlining, blighting the very city neighborhoods that needed the most investment. Banks long showed little compunction in aiding and abetting blockbusting, discrimination, and outright theft from nonwhites. They denied funds to entire neighborhoods or actively exploited them, to the benefit of suburban whites—an economic white flight to sharpen the pain caused by the demographic one. 
   
  And yet, the dynamic between banks and urban communities was not static, and positive urban development, supported by banks, became possible. In After Redlining, Rebecca K. Marchiel illuminates how, exactly, urban activists were able to change some banks’ behavior to support investment in communities that they had once abandoned. The leading activists arose in an area hit hard by banks’ discriminatory actions and politics: Chicago’s West Side. A multiracial coalition of low- and moderate-income city residents, this Saul Alinsky–inspired group championed urban reinvestment. And amazingly, it worked: their efforts inspired national action, culminating in the federal Home Mortgage Disclosure Act and the Community Reinvestment Act. 
  ​ 
  While the battle for urban equity goes on, After Redlining provides a blueprint of hope.

  Unlocking Scots - The Secret...

  The Scots language is the hidden treasure of Scottish culture. For many of us it is still how we speak to each other, how we express our feelings, our humour, even our Scottishness. It not only connects us to our communities at an emotional level but also links us to our past. Scots was created by millions of voices coming together to share words, phrases and jokes; to understand, act on (and often laugh at) the world around them.
  
  Aye, but what exactly is 'Scots' anyway?
  Usually spoken in a mix with Scottish English, at least nowadays, is it really a language at all?
  Was it ever?
  And what about its future?
  
  Dr Clive Young embarks on a quest to learn about the secret life of the language he spoke as a bairn. Along the way, he encounters centuries of intense argument on the very nature of Scots, from the first dictionaries, through MacDiarmid, The Broons, Trainspotting and on to present-day Twitter rammies. (And of course, endless stushies about how to spell it.) Some still dismiss Scots as 'just' a dialect, slang or bad English.
  
  Behind this everyday disdain Dr Young uncovers a troubling history of official neglect and marginalisation of our unique minority language, offset only by a defiant and inspiring linguistic loyalty.
  
  A refreshing counterbalance to the usual gloomy prognosis of Scots' supposedly 'inevitable' demise, Dr Young sketches out a practical roadmap to revitalise Scotland's beleaguered tongue and simple ways we can all keep it 'hale an hearty' for future generations.
  
  Acause if you dinna dae it, wha wull?

  Dark Psychology - The Dark Side...

  Gender does influence persuasion, largely due to the emotional and intellectual differences between men and women. It is often believed that the direct, straightforward approach typically associated with men is more effective in persuasion than the emotionally nuanced methods often attributed to women. 
    
  One of the key differences between men and women is that men are primarily visually stimulated. This trait, while sometimes criticized as shallow, is rooted in our DNA and evolution. Historically, men were driven to seek healthy partners for reproduction, as visual cues were the primary way to assess health before the advent of modern medicine. In the days of early human society, a woman of child-bearing age who appeared healthy was naturally attractive to men, as it signaled good prospects for offspring. 
    
  While men are often said to be led by their physical desires, this viewpoint oversimplifies the situation. Men are indeed influenced by what they see, but this is due to their evolutionary programming. Consequently, many men may prioritize physical appearance over other traits such as intelligence or personality, even when these traits might contribute more to a lasting relationship.
