    The Secret Language of Cravings...

    Do you understand what your food cravings are trying to tell you? 
    Are you dealing with an unwanted overeating or binge-eating habit? Have you tried to curb your cravings with diets and restrictive eating plans, only to fail again and again? 
    Consider this: the reason diets haven’t worked for you is that they’re trying to solve a problem that doesn’t exist.  
    What if your cravings are trying to communicate something important? And what if the way to resolve them is to listen what they have to say? 
    Contrary to what most modern self-help and dieting approaches say, cravings are not a broken part of you that needs to be fixed. The Secret Language of Cravings will help to teach you what those cravings are trying to tell you, and how they are attempting to alert you to your perfect human design. 
    For 30+ years, author Alexandra Amor searched for answers about why she had a persistent overeating habit. All the self-help books she read, all the classes she took, all the therapy she had and all the diets she tried didn’t even begin to solve the problem. In fact, despite all that work and effort, her cravings got worse. 
    Then in 2017, she stumbled across a little-known field of psychology that points us away from the pathologization of our human experience and instead looks toward our innate well-being and perfect human design. After decades of trying to suppress, manage, and dominate her food cravings, Amor instead began to listen to them, and to speak their language. With this, everything changed.  
    If you’d like to resolve your overeating or binge-eating habit once and for all, without willpower or white knuckles, this book will help you do that by teaching you to understand the secret language of cravings.

    Australia is different-a vast island-continent with distances so great that the capital of Western Australia is closer to Singapore than it is to Sydney. The landscape embraces magnificent tropical rainforests and deserts the size of several European states; temperate areas that sustain a flourishing wine industry, making Australia the world's fourth largest wine exporter; a sixteen-thousand-mile coastline of breathtaking beaches; and its unique fauna is testament to the country's down-underness. Culture Smart! Australia introduces you to a young nation with one of the world's highest standards of living, where people work to live in order to enjoy a lifestyle that many across the globe covet, and in which Australians take great pride (and don't mind telling you about).

    Going Sane

    Being sane has long been defined simply as that bland and nebulous state of not being mentally ill. While writings on madness fill entire libraries, until now no one has thought to engage exclusively with the idea of sanity.In a society governed by indulgence and excess, madness is the state of mind we identify with most keenly. Though ultimately destructive, it is often credited as the wellspring of genius, individuality, and self-expression. Sanity, on the other hand, confounds us. One of the world's most respected psychoanalysts and original thinkers, Adam Phillips redresses this historical imbalance. He strips our lives back to essentials, focusing on how we—as human beings, parents, lovers, as people to whom work matters—can make space for a sane and well-balanced attitude to living. In a world saturated by tales of dysfunction and suffering, he offers a way forward that is as down-to-earth and realistic as it is uplifting and hopeful.

    The Marvel of Martyrdom is about how self-sacrifice can change lives and how martyrs can change the world. 
    The book starts large—with famous and influential martyrs such as Jesus and Gandhi—and ends small—with ordinary people whose own experiences of self-sacrifice give martyrdom its political power. Seeking the developmental origins of self-sacrifice, the book explores children's folklore and the success of mega-hits such as The Matrix and Harry Potter. Seeking the everyday rewards of self-sacrifice, the book shows the potential for finding meaning and happiness in helping others. 
    The Marvel of Martyrdom takes a broad perspective on self-sacrifice and martyrdom, bringing together religion, popular culture, history, psychology, and mythology. Stories of individuals both famous (Gandhi) and obscure (Rodrigo Rosenberg) intertwine with research on altruism, happiness, and radicalization to terrorism. The changing landscape of the book's setting—from The Roman Empire to nineteenth-century Russia to Nazi Germany to post–World War II India, to present day Ukraine—makes the power of self-sacrifice and martyrdom come alive and shows their potential to change people and cultures.

    Empire of Sand - How Britain...

    “A story of how empires rattle along until their sheer scale makes them nonsensical . . . [Reid’s] very capable prose just begs to be read” (The Scotsman).   At the end of the First World War, Britain, and to a much lesser extent France, created the modern Middle East. The possessions of the former Ottoman Empire were carved up with scant regard for the wishes of those who lived there. Frontiers were devised and alien dynasties imposed on the populations as arbitrarily as in medieval times. From the outset, the project was destined to fail.   Conflicting and ambiguous promises had been made to the Arabs during the war but were not honored. Brief hopes for Arab unity were dashed, and a harsh belief in western perfidy persists to the present day. Britain was quick to see the riches promised by the black pools of oil that lay on the ground around Baghdad. When France, too, grasped their importance, bitter differences opened up and the area became the focus of a return to traditional enmity. The wartime allies came close to blows and then drifted apart, leaving a vacuum of which Hitler took advantage.   Working from both primary and secondary sources, Walter Reid explores Britain’s role in the creation of the modern Middle East and the rise of Zionism from the early years of the twentieth century to 1948, when Britain handed over Palestine to United Nationns control. From the decisions that Britain made has flowed much of the instability of the region and of the worldwide tensions that threaten the twenty-first century; this thought-provoking book considers how much Britain was to blame.
