  The City Council of Mendacious Crest has a historic strategy for dealing with problems: ignore it and it will go away.  The game of avoidance is over. Payment is due. The Piper must be paid. What currency does it cost them? 
  Mysterious, witty, and unapologetically bold, I Didn’t Screw the Mayor. He Screwed Me is a true political drama that unearths the principles in a predatory political system—and what it costs a Michigan businesswoman (or is she) to stand tall in the city that made her, now hellbent to break her. 
  Searing with financial betrayal, persona deception, and political cunning, the cost of getting compensated is more than suspicious.

  John Bowlby transformed how we understand love, loss, and the bonds that shape us. As the father of attachment theory, he reshaped psychology, parenting, and modern therapy—yet the man behind the science carried mysteries of his own. 
  Searching for Bowlby traces his journey from an emotionally distant childhood to a pioneering career that challenged the foundations of mental health. Through setbacks, breakthroughs, and a relentless search for truth, Bowlby revealed what many resisted: human connection isn’t a luxury. It’s survival. 
  Blending biography, history, and psychology, this audiobook offers an intimate portrait of a complicated thinker and a clear look at the revolution he started. For anyone interested in relationships, healing, or the deeper roots of human behavior, it shows how one man’s determination forever changed the way we understand ourselves and each other.

  England in the time of his boyhood was a cold and colourless country. They had seen to that, the Autumn Men. They who had been lifted high, the old men of his country and other countries, who in the autumn of their years, reflecting on the unfulfilled promise of their youth, and their failures as yet unredeemed, feeling as any old man adrift alone on a small boat, sails broken, oars lost, swept hopelessly onward towards the deafening roar of the approaching weir, might feel, decided that too few had sweetly and honourably been called. So call out the young men, wide-eyed and brave of heart, to don uniform, bid sweethearts farewell and forfeit their future. And murder in the name of God. Until they too are harvested 'neath the Autumn Men's sickle. And the lark song is stilled as passing bells are heard anew. ------------ No longer could the innocent look to the heavens for salvation, only look on in horror as the devil poured the contents of hell over them. And so it was and so it remained until Satan, who had found refuge in the hearts of too many, was cast out and the women had cried.."enough!!" ---------- And on countless memorials in towns and villages across the cold and colourless country, new names were added to the old and memorials once again were baptised with tears of the innocent for the innocent. And in the great city as the weak winter sunshine filters through the mists of an early November morning, the Autumn Men in their black coats and polished shoes still stand, shameless, in solemn line to bow their heads and lay poppy-lit wreaths, mankind's apology to its youth. ---------- This then was the wasteland of his boyhood. One from which he would spend the rest of his life trying to escape.
