Summary

'Bonds and Wellbeing' presents a groundbreaking perspective on mental health by exploring how our social connections, rather than individual resilience alone, play a crucial role in psychological wellness. Drawing from extensive research, including the Harvard Study of Adult Development and Framingham Heart Study, the book reveals compelling evidence that people with strong social networks have 50% higher survival rates and demonstrate better mental health outcomes across their lifespan.

 
The book's journey begins with an examination of the neurobiological foundations of social bonds, explaining how our brains process and respond to social interactions. It then progresses through the protective effects of various relationship types, from intimate partnerships to community connections, before diving into practical strategies for building and maintaining meaningful relationships. Throughout its four major sections, the work seamlessly integrates insights from social psychology, neuroscience, and evolutionary biology, making complex concepts accessible through real-world examples and case studies.

 
What sets this book apart is its comprehensive approach to understanding social connections in the modern context, including the impact of social media and remote work on relationship formation. Each chapter combines rigorous scientific research with practical applications, offering readers evidence-based exercises to strengthen their social networks. While primarily targeting adults interested in personal growth and mental health professionals, the book maintains an engaging balance between academic insight and practical wisdom, making it valuable for anyone seeking to enhance their psychological well-being through stronger social bonds.

    Journey from the Isle of Skye to the Deep South, to the Rockies and beyond.
A dance was devised in eighteenth-century Skye. An exhilarating dance. A dance, a visitor reports, 'the emigration from Skye has occasioned'. The visitor asks for the dance's name. 'They call it America,' he's told.
Over a period of three centuries, many thousands of people left the islands and wider north of Scotland to make new lives across the sea. In this new edition of his acclaimed book, historian James Hunter follows in their footsteps – from the Deep South to the Rockies and beyond – to tell the story of the Highland impact on the New World.
In doing so, he reveals how soldiers, explorers, guerrilla fighters, fur traders, lumberjacks, railways builders and settlers from Scotland's glens and islands contributed much to the USA and Canada. It is the story of how a hard-pressed people found in North America a land of opportunity.
In this edition features a new introduction from James Hunter, where he reflects on what led him to embark on travels and researches that took him across a continent.

    The Vijayanagara Empire emerged as one of the most significant and powerful dynasties in Indian history, rising at a time when the Indian subcontinent was fragmented and facing threats from expanding Islamic sultanates. Its foundation in the 14th century was a turning point that not only established a strong Hindu kingdom in southern India but also laid the groundwork for a cultural and economic renaissance. 
The origins of Vijayanagara trace back to the political instability of the Deccan region. The Delhi Sultanate had extended its influence into the south, leading to the weakening of older Hindu kingdoms such as the Kakatiyas, Hoysalas, and Pandyas. Amid this turmoil, two brothers, Harihara and Bukka, originally serving under the Kakatiya rulers, rose to prominence. After being captured and later released by the Delhi Sultanate, they sought guidance from the sage Vidyaranya, who inspired them to establish a strong Hindu kingdom to resist further invasions. In 1336, they founded the city of Vijayanagara on the banks of the Tungabhadra River, marking the birth of the empire. 
From its inception, the Vijayanagara Empire was strategically positioned to thrive. The Tungabhadra River provided a natural defensive barrier, while the rocky terrain of Hampi served as a formidable protection against enemy invasions. The early rulers focused on consolidating power, expanding their territories, and strengthening their military capabilities. Under Harihara I, the empire extended its control over parts of Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh, securing key trade routes and fortifying its defenses.

    'I love this book' Fern Britton
'Laugh out loud funny' Kate Bottley
An explosive satire of gender stereotypes that flips patriarchy on its head to highlight sexist double standards.
Exploring subjects like work and comedy, history and sport, the beauty industry and domesticity, anonymous author Man Who Has It All imagines a world in which men are bombarded with the same stereotypical bullshit as women. What if men's T-shirts were emblazoned with slogans encouraging them to be smiley, positive and kind? What if we laughed at jokes about fathers-in-law, male drivers and middle-class men of a certain age? What if men's history was a niche topic? Behind the jokes about crazy cat gentlemen, testerical men and the twenty-four-hour moustache, lies a deeper, darker message about language, power and control.
Smart and provocative, Man Who Has It All shines a powerful light on the prejudice ingrained in our society. Told through fictionalised scenarios and wider cultural analysis, this is a feminist handbook that will arm you against the patriarchy.
'Funny and insightful, but also fiercely radical' Victoria Smith
'Takes on patriarchy with wit, verve and a mighty dose of good old British sarcasm' Viv Groskop, author of How to Own the Room
'We need to hide copies in every locker room, Wetherspoons and B&Q' Eleanor Morton, comedian and actor
'Man Who Has It All does a remarkable job of channelling anger into humour . . . a galvanising read' Rachel Hewitt, author of In Her Nature
