  “Secure Love” explores the intricate interplay between attachment styles and romantic satisfaction, a relationship dynamic rooted deeply in our earliest connections with caregivers. Delving into the latest research on love and attachment theory, this book offers a compelling examination of how early attachment patterns shape adult romantic relationships.  
  Through an accessible exploration of historical and contemporary studies, “Secure Love” unveils how the six “critical” areas of romantic relationships can predict attachment styles that often influence a couple’s happiness. By understanding these patterns, readers can learn to navigate the complexities of their attachment styles and enhance their capacity to form meaningful, fulfilling bonds. 
  Each chapter of “Secure Love” builds on this foundation: first, it outlines the attachment theory and how it interrelates with love’s capacity, and then it presents research findings on adult attachment styles and their impacts on couple satisfaction.

  There is a significant problem in our schools: too many boys are struggling. The list of things to concern teachers is long. Disappointing academic results, a lack of interest in studying, higher exclusion rates, increasing mental health issues, sexist attitudes, an inability to express emotions... Traditional ideas about masculinity are having a negative impact, not only on males, but females too. In this ground-breaking book, Matt Pinkett and Mark Roberts argue that schools must rethink their efforts to get boys back on track.Boys Don't Try? examines the research around key topics such as anxiety and achievement, behaviour and bullying, schoolwork and self-esteem. It encourages the reader to reflect on how they define masculinity and consider what we want for boys in our schools. Offering practical quick wins, as well as long-term strategies to help boys become happier and achieve greater academic success, the book: offers ways to avoid problematic behaviour by boys and tips to help teachers address poor behaviour when it happens; highlights key areas of pastoral care that need to be recognised by schools; exposes how popular approaches to "engaging" boys are actually misguided and damaging; details how issues like disadvantage, relationships, violence, peer pressure, and pornography affect boys' perceptions of masculinity and how teachers can challenge these.With an easy-to-navigate three-part structure for each chapter, setting out the stories, key research, and practical solutions, this is essential reading for all classroom teachers and school leaders who are keen to ensure male students enjoy the same success as girls.

  What if public wisdom was only a performance? 
  In Protagoras, Plato stages an epic confrontation between two forces: Socratic philosophy and Sophistic reputation. At the heart of this dramatic dialogue is a question that echoes through the centuries—can virtue be taught, or is it just a clever performance by those who claim to know? 
  With dazzling speeches, sly irony, and relentless questioning, this modern audiobook adaptation brings to life one of Plato’s most dynamic texts. 
  What you’ll discover inside: 
  •	A powerful intellectual showdown between Socrates and the famed sophist Protagoras 
  •	Insight into the tension between rhetoric, education, and genuine wisdom 
  •	Philosophical inquiry into whether virtue is teachable—or even definable 
  •	A vivid, flowing modern translation designed to entertain as well as challenge 
  Whether you're a teacher, student, or truth-seeker, Protagoras will leave you questioning the difference between knowledge and applause.
