Essential reading for anyone faced with the prospect of divorce or separation who needs to know the law, their options, and the likely consequences regarding children and possessions" A highly informative, comprehensive, yet simple jargon-free guide on how to unravel a personal relationship" The book's contents include the consequences of breakdown of an informal relationship as well as the breakdown of a marriage. In each case, rights and responsibilities of the parties are outlined, particularly in regard to Property, Possessions, Money and, of course, Children. As well as being emotionally draining, the breakdown of a personal relationship can be financially expensive. For those with limited fi nances the use of professional advisers, such as lawyers, may have to be 'rationed' and more of the processes undertaken by the parties themselves, particularly as financial help from public funds has now been virtually ended for most circumstances. This book recognises that reality and, carefully and cleverly, suggests how a degree of self-help may be both achievable and rewarding.

In this, the first volume of her autobiographical trilogy, Trisha reveals the heart-rending difficulties and dilemmas of growing up in a domineering and dysfunctional family, ridiculed, exploited and violently abused by vindictive, bullying siblings.

Discovering, in her teens, an uncanny gift for clairvoyance further unsettles her, and those around her. Desperate to break free from the torments of her past and escape the negative cycle of her existence, she leaves home. Striving to build her confidence and create an independent life of her own. But neither the past, nor her family, will let her alone. Will she ever find the strength, acceptance and happiness - not to mention love in the shape of Mr Right - for which she so ardently yearns? Will 'Pat' ever throw off the shackles of her former self to become the confident, successful and fulfilled 'Trisha'?

By using these pragmatic, down-to-earth strategies, anyone can turn new or casual relationships into lasting ones--or make current relationships deeper.

How can we create more meaningful and intimate connections with our loved-ones? By using moments of discord to strengthen our relationships, explains this original, deeply researched book. You might think that perfect harmony is the defining characteristic of a good relationship, but the truth is that human interactions are messy, complicated, and confusing. The good news, however, is that we are wired to deal with this from birth - and even to grow from it and use it to strengthen our relationships, according to renowned psychologist Ed Tronick and paediatrician Claudia Gold. Scientific research - including Dr Tronick's famous 'Still-Face Experiment' - has shown that working through mismatch and repair in everyday life helps us form deep, lasting, trusting relationships; resilience in times of stress and trauma; and a solid sense of self in the world. This refreshing and original look at our ability to relate to others and to ourselves offers a new way for us to think about our relationships, and will reassure you that conflict is both normal and healthy, building the foundation for stronger connections.

The follow-up to celebrated grief expert, neuroscientist, and psychologist Dr. Mary-Frances O’Connor’s The Grieving Brain focuses on the impact of grief—and life’s other major stressors—on the human body.

Coping with death and grief is one of the most painful human experiences. While we can speak to the psychological and emotional ramifications of loss and sorrow, we often overlook its impact on our physical bodies. Dr. Mary-Frances O’Connor specializes in the study of grief, and in The Grieving Body she shares vital scientific research, revealing imperative new insights on its profound physiological impact. As she did in The Grieving Brain, O’Connor combines illuminating studies and personal stories to explore the toll loss takes on our cardiovascular, endocrine, and immune systems and the larger implications for our long-term well-being.

The Grieving Body addresses questions about how bereavement affects us, such as:

• Can we die of a broken heart?
• What happens in our bodies when we’re grieving?
• How do our coping behaviors affect our physical health?
• What is the cognitive impact of grief?
• Why are we more prone to illness during times of enormous stress?

Research-backed, warm, and empathetic, The Grieving Body is an essential, hopeful read for those experiencing loss as well as their supportive friends and family.

The Grieving Body is illustrated with black-and-white charts and graphs.

'When money flies out of the window, love walks out of the door. In good times, money papers over the cracks in a relationship; in bad times, fault-lines become divorce suits.' The recession is putting many partnerships under strain. A top London law firm reports a record number of people making appointments to see family lawyers. Relate has also experienced an increase in the number of people contacting them for relationship counselling, while the online advice centre InsideDivorce.com, has reported that two million married couples in the UK are experiencing marital problems and that 1.3 million people are actively considering leaving their marriage. Even in good times, almost 50% of marriages end in divorce in England and Wales. It seems, therefore, that many people need advice when faced with relationship breakdown. This book provides a practical guide to the process couples must undergo in order to legally end their marriage, and - while it is not a counselling manual - aims to help them realise that they are not the only people to have found themselves facing the complexities of ending a relationship.

Shortlisted for the James Cropper Wainwright Prize 2022 for Nature Writing - Highly Commended Winner for the Richard Jefferies Award 2021 for Best Nature Writing 'A rural, working-class writer in an all too rarefied field, Chester's work is unusual for depicting the countryside as it is lived on the economic margins.' The Guardian 'An important portrait of connection to the land beyond ownership or possession.' Raynor Winn 'It's ever so good. Political, passionate and personal.' Robert Macfarlane 'Evocative and inspiring...environmental protest, family, motherhood and...nature.' Claire Fuller, author of Unsettled Ground, Costa Novel Award Winner 2021 Nature is everything. It is the place I come from and the place I got to. It is family. Wherever I am, it is home and away, an escape, a bolt hole, a reason, a place to fight for, a consolation, and a way home. As a child growing up in rural England, Guardian Country Diarist Nicola Chester was inexorably drawn to the natural landscape surrounding her. Walking, listening and breathing in the nature around her, she followed the call of the cuckoo, the song of the nightingale and watched as red kites, fieldfares and skylarks soared through the endless skies over the chalk hills of the North Wessex Downs: the ancient land of Greenham Common which she called home. Nicola bears witness to, and fights against, the stark political and environmental changes imposed on the land she loves, whilst raising her family to appreciate nature and to feel like they belong - core parts of who Nicola is. From protesting the loss of ancient trees to the rewilding of Greenham Common, to the gibbet on Gallows Down and living in the shadow of Highclere Castle (made famous in Downton Abbey), On Gallows Down shows how one woman made sense of her world - and found her place in it.

Nonfiction. Philosophy. Winner of the 2010 Next Generation Indie Book Award for Social Change. "Sedulously argued, this thoughtful book attempts nothing less than a revalorization of prejudice--its meaning, the way it manifests itself, and its effect on individuals (the prejudiced and those who feel the sting of it) as well as the world around them. It's an ambitious undertaking, deftly navigated by Michael Eskin, who cogently offers an entirely original framework for identifying prejudice and even confronting it. In an environment that has been optimistically (if naively) called post-racial--in which racial, gender, and ethnic divides appear to have as much poignant resolve as ever--Eskin's important book offers a set of powerful pathways for comprehending and addressing a pernicious aspect of life that remains far too at home in the headlines, the rural backroads, and the chill of urban streets"--Jeffrey Rothfeder, former BusinessWeek, Time Inc., and Bloomberg News editor, and author of McIlhenny's Gold: How a Louisiana Family Built the Tabasco Empire and Every Drop for Sale: Our Desperate Battle over Water in a World About to Run Out.
