Pierre Le Rouzic's The Name Book, intrigues its audience with a
stunningly accurate description of their characters based solely on
the name they bear. Containing over 9,000 names, this volume is a
priceless encyclopedia of wisdom - a name book that has passed the
test of time. This book is fun An international bestseller with
over 3 million copies sold outside the USA, it provides an accurate
analysis of our personality based solely on the name we bare. Index
includes over 9,000 names - described in 80 chapters. 85 graphic
illustrations (called name portraits) convey the message in a
glance. An invaluable resource for new parents or people wanting to
change their name. Opening chapters explain why our names, culture,
magnify, or restrict aspects of our personalities Provides
guidelines for choosing correct names for new born babies or name
changes. "A name is a reservoir of energy, and this makes good
sense" The constant repetition of the syllables of our names, "this
harmony," ends up having a significant influence on the development
of our personalities. Names contain secret vibrations we are
unaware of, yet which exist nonetheless-just as we are unaware of
the sound from an ultrasonic whistle that a dog hears perfectly
well. If we admit the existence off these vibrations, which are
different for each name, it is not hard to imagine that they can
resonate with something inside us and trigger different reactions
in us, according to the name we bare. This is to say, a name can
change an individual, and can effect one's personality and to a
certain extent, destiny. This helps us understand what at first
seems unbelievable-that names can have a direct influence on
people. Pierre Le Rouzic "In every place and time, everyone has
received a name. It is the first and most lasing influence we give
to our children. Something this far reaching should not be
mindlessly chosen according to the current trends of fashion. This
book contains over 9000 names and Pierre Le Rouzie has spent 50
years researching their characteristics. It is worth your time to
read the book-your children will thank you later." Rodney Charles,

A startlingly large number of women who want to breastfeed have to
stop before they are ready, leaving them feeling a range of
negative emotions, including grief, anger, guilt, shame and
frustration, and often blaming themselves. But in a society that
places little value on breastfeeding and mothers' feelings, their
painful stories are often swept under the carpet to the detriment
of women's mental health and experience of new motherhood.
Professor Amy Brown has researched what breastfeeding really means
to women, how they can feel when things don't go according to plan
and importantly, how we can change things for the next generation
of women. Her findings make fascinating reading for anyone with
personal experience of breastfeeding difficulties, those who
support mothers to make infant feeding decisions that are right for
them, or those who simply want to be part of changing the
conversation.
'A much needed book on this difficult and often unspoken loss, that
of early pregnancy ... both illuminating and consoling.' Julia
Samuel, author of Grief Works It estimated that one in four
pregnancies end in miscarriage and yet it persists as taboo. In The
Brink of Being, a groundbreaking and essential book,
psychotherapist Julia Bueno encourages us to talk about, think
more, and reflect upon this often misunderstood, and little
discussed event. Drawing on her personal experience of miscarriage,
stories from her consulting room, and interviews with medical
professionals and researchers, Bueno provides history, context and
consolation for anyone who has been through pregnancy loss, or
wants to know how to help someone who has. Bueno also investigates
miscarriage in terms of how we respond to women's bodies and
reproductive health, our attitudes to birth and death, and how we
can - and should - encourage more curiosity and candid
conversations, in order to better support the many affected by this
loss. 'Intelligent, sensitive, and utterly candid ... It's the sort
of book that women have long been searching for, and it feels like
real progress. I'm so thankful she wrote it' Meaghan O'Connell,
author of And Now We Have Everything
