Summary

Sensory Influence explores how our senses shape attraction, intimacy, and interpersonal relationships, bridging the gap between biology and psychology. The book argues that sensory experiences actively sculpt our perceptions and emotions, rather than being passive inputs. Did you know that skin-to-skin contact isn't just comforting; it triggers physiological responses that enhance emotional well-being? Or that our sense of smell can unconsciously influence mate selection through complex chemical signals called pheromones?

 
The book begins by laying a scientific foundation, examining the neurobiology of sensory processing. It then delves into touch, scent, and vision, highlighting their roles in bonding, desire, and attraction. Each chapter presents research and evidence, including neuroimaging studies and behavioral experiments.

 
The book culminates in a discussion of how these senses synergistically influence our perceptions, making it valuable for anyone interested in the science of human connection or sensory psychology.

    Globally famous and yet universally misunderstood – these are the complex and utterly engrossing stories of Britain's royal women behind the public façade.Saints or sinners? Perfect princesses or difficult duchesses? Monarchy’s saviours or its destroyers?  
They rank among the world’s most famous women – and the most misunderstood. Throughout history, royal women have been sanitised and sanctified by supporters, distorted and demonised by critics, pitted against each other, and misrepresented by the media. 
In this extraordinary portrait, journalist Catherine Mayer examines the lives of the central players, and the echoes and parallels that have run throughout history. The stories of Anne Boleyn, Elizabeth I, Victoria, Elizabeth II, Diana, Camilla, Kate and Meghan uncovered by Catherine Mayer are far more fascinating, poignant, surprising and enraging than any of the myths. Divide and Rule reveals these extraordinary women in all their complexity, charting their achievements, quirks, kindnesses, cruelties and profound influence. 
Drawing on key sources, many of whom have never spoken publicly before, this book also demonstrates the ways in which history repeats itself – to the detriment not only of royal women but all of us. 
Across Britain and Europe, from century to century and into the 21st, this non-fiction biography becomes a compelling work of social studies as much as royal history. The latest, best and top telling reveals how the same forces that elevate royalty also weaponise scrutiny, turning women into rivals in the public imagination. 
For fans of Robert Hardman (Charles III), Hugo Vickers (CLARISSA), Robert Jobson (William at 40), Angela Levin (Diana’s Babies), and Tina Brown (The Diana Chronicles).

    1,682 miles. The First Lady of the United States. One incredible journey. 
  
At a time when political candidates' wives were expected to be seen and not heard, Lady Bird Johnson made history as the first presidential spouse to take a leading role on the campaign trail. Her mission: to aid her husband, Lyndon B. Johnson, in his reelection bid. 
  
Proud of her southern heritage and of what her husband had done for civil rights, Lady Bird undertook an eight-state whistle-stop tour in October 1964, both to garner votes for Lyndon and to help ease the animosity that arose from the signing of the Civil Rights Act three months earlier. 
  
The "Lady Bird Special," a custom, nineteen-car train, forged headlong into the powder keg of Southern politics, traveling from Washington DC to New Orleans and making forty-seven stops in only four days. Despite the potential dangers, the First Lady, aided by a team of pioneering women, pressed forward, making speeches, shaking hands, and breaking ground. 
  
You Can't Catch Us isn't simply the story of an election campaign. It's the story of a women-led operation and an appeal for understanding and civility. Lady Bird Johnson's monumental journey expanded the role of women in politics and progressed the fight for women's rights—a fight we still continue today. 
  
"Surprising, gripping, and hilarious, this inspiring journey through the American South never derails. Shannon McKenna Schmidt has written a gem of American campaign history. All aboard!"—Margaret McMullan, author of Where the Angels Lived: One Family's Story of Exile, Loss, and Return

    People frequently come to therapy believing they are broken.  They have been told this by countless people.  Over the past 33 years, I have worked with thousands of people and the majority of them don't have something wrong with them.  They are just missing skills.  This book is made up of education about the skills, examples and plans to learn the skills complete with exercises.  Why are these skills so important? When a person lacks skills, they are set up to experience difficult situations throughout their lives.  I have dedicated a chapter to gaslighting because this abusive behaviour robs people of some of the most essential skills, sets them up for emotional abuse, intimate partner violence, rape, sexual violence, physical abuse later in life.  These skills make it possible for us to integrate well with others, keep a solid sense of self, self-worth and have relationships that bring all parties joy.

    12 Urban Legends: Unveiling the Truth Behind Modern Myths delves into the mysterious and often chilling tales that have woven themselves into the fabric of contemporary culture. Written in the investigative and compelling style reminiscent of Vincent Bugliosi, this book explores twelve of the most enduring urban legends that continue to captivate and unsettle us. 
Each chapter examines a different legend, from the ghostly Vanishing Hitchhiker on desolate roads to the ominous Slender Man lurking in the shadows of the internet. The book dissects these stories with a critical eye, uncovering their origins, variations, and the psychological underpinnings that make them so persistent. 
Through meticulous research and engaging narrative, the book reveals how these legends reflect societal fears, moral lessons, and the complexities of human psychology. It delves into real-life events that may have inspired these myths and considers how modern technology and media have amplified their reach. 
The exploration goes beyond mere storytelling; it invites readers to reflect on why we are drawn to such tales and what they reveal about our collective consciousness. The epilogue ties together the insights gained, offering a profound commentary on the enduring allure of urban legends and their place in our world. 
12 Urban Legends: Unveiling the Truth Behind Modern Myths is more than a collection of eerie stories; it's a journey into the heart of modern folklore. It challenges readers to look beyond the surface of these legends and consider the deeper truths they convey about fear, belief, and the human condition.
