  The classic work of psychology that introduced attachment theory to the world 
   
  “The most complete examination of the implications of attachment and loss of mother to infant yet written…Brilliant.” —New York Times 
   
  In Attachment, psychologist John Bowlby examines the nature of the child's ties to the mother, elucidating the processes of attachment and separation. He demonstrates that human attachment is an instinctive response to the need for protection against predators, and one as important for survival as nutrition and reproduction. The first of three volumes in Attachment and Loss, Attachment offers the fullest expression of Bowlby’s theory of attachment behavior, how it develops, how it is maintained, and what functions it fulfills. 
   
  This audiobook is expertly read by Janet Metzger, with audio engineering by Blake Rook. It was produced and published by Echo Point Books & Media, an independent bookseller in Brattleboro, Vermont.

  Progressive Dystopia - Abolition...

  San Francisco is the endgame of gentrification, where racialized displacement means that the Black population of the city hovers at just over three percent. The Robeson Justice Academy opened to serve the few remaining low-income neighborhoods of the city, with the mission of offering liberatory, social justice-themed education to youth of color. While it features a progressive curriculum, including Frantz Fanon and Audre Lorde, the majority Latinx school also has the district's highest suspension rates for Black students. In Progressive Dystopia Savannah Shange explores the potential for reconciling the school's marginalization of Black students with its sincere pursuit of multiracial uplift and solidarity. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork and six years of experience teaching at the school, Shange outlines how the school fails its students and the community because it operates within a space predicated on antiblackness. Seeing San Francisco as a social laboratory for how Black communities survive the end of their worlds, Shange argues for abolition over revolution or progressive reform as the needed path toward Black freedom.

  In Harm’s Way: The Memoir of a...

  ‘Should be required reading for those who care about how society treats our most vulnerable citizens.’ Louise Allen 
  When the system fails the parents, how can it protect the children? 
  Welcome to the secretive world of the Family Court. 
  What's it like to act for a father who has recently overcome his drug problem but risks losing his beloved son to foster care? 
  Or to represent a young mother whose abusive childhood has left her depressed and struggling to cope, to the point where the local authority is seeking to persuade the Family Court to place her small children for adoption? 
  The Family Court makes life-changing decisions about the most vulnerable children in England and Wales behind closed doors. It's an institution tasked with protecting the youngers most at risk, but how often does it make the right decisions? 
  In this hard-hitting account of her work representing parents in care proceedings in the Family Court, child protection lawyer Teresa Thornhill conveys the dilemmas inherent in the job and shows how our under-resourced system of child protection – in both its social work and legal aspects – often fails to provide support that could enable the most vulnerable parents to continue to care for their children. 
  ‘A vivid account of all the terrible things that can happen to children and all the challenges facing lawyers and social workers in our child protection system which is meant to help and protect them but which struggles to do so. It doesn’t have to be this way so what can be done about it?’  – Rt Hon Lady Hale DBE, Formerly President of the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom. 
  ‘This timely book resonated with my experiences as a children’s social worker and probation officer; it’s a refreshingly honest account of our dysfunctional child protection system.’ – Joanna Hughes, former children’s social worker and probation officer. 
  Thornhill's In Harm’s Way is a compelling autobiography that delves into the personal experiences of those entangled in the courts and enforcement system. This non-fiction memoir is a biography of the system itself, highlighting its shortcomings and the urgent need for reform. 
  For fans of Her Honour Wendy Joseph Qc (Unlawful Killings)
