   Edited by David Cameron, Steve Munby and Mick Waters, Unfinished Business is both a tribute to Sir Tim Brighouse and a call to action based on Tim's approaches, commitment and ideas. 
  
   The first part of the book celebrates Tim's life and achievements. This includes contributions from his son Harry and longstanding colleagues and friends such as Bob Moon, David Woods and Jo n Coles. These accounts provide a rounded picture of Tim and, in a sense, make the case for listening to him and commemorating him in action rather than simply celebrating his memory. This part also includes contributions from David Blunkett and Estelle Morris that underline Tim's national status. 
  
   The second part of the book is forward-looking with contributions from close friends, career colleague, policy makers, politicians and the people that Tim thought made the most difference: teachers in schools. Contributors explore what we need to do now in order to continue Tim's work in their particular area of expertise. Contributors include:

  Dismissive Avoidant Attachment -...

  Janis Bryans Psy.D

  Do you feel disconnected with your partner?Do you feel coldness and distance within your relationship that is difficult to explain?Are you worried about drifting apart? 
    
  Attachment styles are the way in which we connect with other people. They are generally developed by infants and further refined by children, adolescents and adults. 
    
  Often, the dismissive avoidant sees themselves as some sort of lone wolf. They feel that they don’t need anyone and that nobody needs them. They can drift in and out of everyone’s lives without causing any sort of emotional havoc and they like that lack of accountability or obligation. 
  They may also shy away when you open up to them. Feeling close can feel like a danger zone and so they avoid it. 
   They value independence and ultimately fear that they will be enmeshed; the idea that a relationship will swallow them up. 
    
  If you believe that a loved one has this style of attachment, understanding where the instincts come from may also help you to respond to them. 
    
  People with dismissive avoidant attachment may show signs of: 
  Avoidance of eye contact. 
  Avoidance of physical touch. 
  Rarely, or even never, asking for help. 
   Such feelings, if experienced too often or too intensely, may ultimately make a relationship non-sustainable. 
    
  The good news is that you can change the attachment style. It may take time, work and a great deal of understanding from people in life. However, it is possible to build intimate, secure relationships that fulfil and help you to feel safe. 
   Understanding and managing the wounds of attachment is the best gift that you can give to your relationship.

  We broke our new series on learning Vietnamese down into different learning stages. Start with the "Lower Beginner" books followed by the "Beginner" and "Upper Beginner" books. Next, progress to the "Intermediate" series, then test and reinforce your knowledge with the "Conversations" series. 
  This audiobook is divided into units.While it provides different learning patterns and accommodates various needs, this audiobook focuses on helping you improve your ability to understand, speak, and memorise Vietnamese.  
  In Unit 1 you will hear Vietnamese decoded with each syllable spoken very slowly and clearly with repetition. Immediately before each sentence is spoken, you will hear the translation, so you will always understand what is being said. 
  Unit 2 focuses solely on increasing your listening ability, which will improve your abilities to engage in dialogue with a native Vietnamese speaker. This chapter requires you to listen very carefully to nuances in the language. 
  By Unit 3 you will already notice progress in your abilities to speak and understand Vietnamese. The spoken translation is followed by two repetitions in Vietnamese at a completely natural speed. While you are learning to process naturally spoken Vietnamese, Units 3 and 4 will help you memorise new vocabulary and full sentences. 
  In Unit 5 you can test yourself on how much you have learned. If you are having difficulties, we suggest you revisit the listening, speaking, or memorisation section of Units 1, 2 3 or 4, according to what you need more help with. 
  Topics covered in this book: 
  1. Asking about family 
  2. Asking about relationship status
