  What is it that makes you "you"? What produces your likes and dislikes, fear and fantasies? What makes you different from other people, and what makes you the same as them? For thousands of years, people have tried to identify the spirit, soul or mind that makes us human. And they have tried to work out how and why it makes our identity. Answers have ranged from the physiological to the psychological - the influence of early experiences and upbringing. 
   
  The study of psychology, which emerged from philosophy during the 19th century, addresses such questions as what makes us what we are as individuals; how we learn, know and reason; whether we have any innate knowledge or are born with a mind that is a "blank slate"; whether we have freewill; and what is the balance between nature and nurture in forging the individual. Experiments in psychology often probe the darker recesses of the mind - how cruel will we be? how important is it to fit in? how far can the mind be tricked? 
   
  Author Anne Rooney brings together the threads that have made up psychology, from the musings of the Ancient Greeks to the findings of functional MRI scanning. The Story of Psychology is a narrative of how we have tried to approach the very core of our being - of what makes us ourselves.

  The Pandemic May Have Delayed Your Toddler, but They Will Not Be Defeated 
  This compassionate, science-based guide offers hope and practical strategies for parents of children whose critical developmental years (ages 2–4) were impacted by COVID-19 isolation. 
  Written by a child development expert, it explains how pandemic conditions disrupted normal social, emotional, and communication milestones and provides a comprehensive roadmap for helping children recover and thrive. 
  Rather than focusing on what was lost, Delayed, Not Defeated empowers parents with targeted approaches for supporting development across key domains: 
  ●      building social skills through structured playdates and peer interactions 
  ●      developing emotional regulation strategies for children with big feelings 
  ●      creating language-rich environments to boost communication skills 
  ●      using play as a powerful therapeutic tool 
  ●      managing screen time thoughtfully 
  ●      preparing children for successful school transitions 
  Each chapter combines the latest research with practical, easy-to-implement strategies that work in real family life. Special considerations address specific challenges, including sensory sensitivities, multilingual development, sibling dynamics, and when to seek professional support. 
  The book's central message is one of hope: What pandemic toddlers experienced was a developmental delay, not a developmental destiny. 
  With the loving guidance and evidence-based strategies provided in this book, children will do more than catch up—they'll develop unique strengths from navigating these extraordinary early experiences.

  North to Boston - Life Histories...

  Between World War II and 1980, tens of thousands of Black people moved to Boston from the South as part of the Great Migration, one of the most consequential mass movements of people in American history. Black migration from the South transformed the city, as it did urban areas across the country. North to Boston is the first book to examine that important subject. 
   
   
   
  Blake Gumprecht traces the history of this migration and explores its impacts in greater depth through the lives of ten individuals, each the subject of one chapter. Those chapters are short biographies based on extensive interviews by the author and are told in an engaging style that reflects the author's background as a journalist. 
   
   
   
  The ten people featured came from six southern states. They fled racism, limited opportunity, and hopelessness, and moved north in pursuit of better jobs, equal treatment, and greater freedom. They settled in neighborhoods such as Roxbury, Dorchester, and Mattapan. They worked as teachers, factory workers, welders, and security guards. Their stories are emblematic of the experiences of Black people everywhere who left the South, and provide a rare glimpse into the lives of ordinary people living in one city's Black community.

  999 Inside Death Row in the...

  On death row, the poorest and most numerous, with no family and no decent lawyer, are sometimes executed before all their appeals have been exhausted. Their fate consigned to modest prison cemeteries. In Texas, the number engraved on the cement stone begins with 999.
  Out of 50 American states, 34 still have the death penalty. Why and how? The author's investigation took him to California, Utah, Oklahoma, Texas, Louisiana, Tennessee, Mississippi and Pennsylvania. A human immersion into the heart of American society and its judicial system, through encounters with death row inmates, lawyers and victims' families.
  This fascinating book finely deconstructs the American myth of fair and infallible justice—from the deplorable conditions of confinement to daily abuse, from random legal recourse to political and judicial manipulation. More than just a sentence, the death penalty appears to be torture with many faces. And in an America on the move, there are signs that abolition is on the way. 
  999, is the fruit of a fact-finding mission carried out by the French association, Ensemble contre la peine de mort (ECPM), with financial support from the European Union.
