This book is intended for a young person or young adult who needs
some encouragement to find their way in life, especially after this
pandemic. The receiver of this book might lack self-belief, but all
they need is a nudge to guide them to think more positively about
themselves. 'Search for the Pearl Inside Yourself'- is a
motivational little book with quotations, ideas and
thought-provoking mind tasks to help them to let go of those things
which are holding them back, to find a more fulfilling direction
and to discover the pearl inside themselves.
Diana walks along the Fife Coastal Path from North Queensferry,
beneath the famous Forth Rail Bridge to St Andrews. While on her
way she treads in the footprints of a multitude of pilgrims and
famous people through the ages, but she also follows in the steps
of ordinary folks of Fife. She 'meets' some fascinating characters
- from St Margaret in Dunfermline to the real Robinson Crusoe,
Alexander Selkirk in Lower Largo. Diana's heart is captured by the
beautiful surroundings along these coastal paths. As she pauses to
have a 'wee blether' with those she 'meets, ' she learns a new way
of looking at her world, finding 'way markers' for the next stage
in her life. The further Diana travels, the more she becomes
absorbed in the history of Fife, and her affinity for the area
grows. As you read on, you may find yourself 'walking beside
Diana.' Her experiences might help you with some of the challenges
you face in your own life, or they may inspire you to visit the
region of Fife and have adventures of your own. Some would call
this an allegory, but it is certainly a memoir with elements of
fantasy. Diana leaves the reader to judge which is which. Part 1:
From Redundancy to Rejuvenation - Serendipity! Diana's husband's
work is temporarily relocated to Fife. Diana follows when she is
made redundant from a life time of teaching. During these early
days they walk along the coast, while Diana reflects on the past
and possible futures. Part 2: Letting Go and Moving on. In order to
live her new life to the full, Diana needs to let go of some of her
old life. This does not mean forgetting family and friends in
Bedfordshire, but finding new and deeper relationships with them,
even at a distance. As she and her husband throw themselves into
community life in Fife, deep down Diana is still searching for her
true purpose, and with the encouragement of new and old friends
alike, and the old monks at the newly built St Andrew's Cathedral,
she ...
It is 2019 when cows milk themselves and computers are the farmer's
friend, or at least they should be. Joanna Thomas, a less than
conventional farmer's wife is accused of murdering her husband, but
with no motive or murder weapon uncovered, the likelihood of a
speedy conviction is diminishing, much to the dismay of the, soon
to retire, Inspector Norton. His officers try to placate him whilst
uncovering a series of most strange coincidences, all compelling
them towards an unsolved murder back in 1919. From no obvious
suspects they now have several seemingly unlikely candidates, none
with totally believable alibis. While puzzling over the complexity
of this strange case DS Tony Brown and DC Cathy Peterson take a
trip to Jersey, but losing their lead they return just as the case
turns decidedly sinister. Could an unsolved murder in Haynes,
Bedfordshire back in 1919 really have a bearing on this case?
Living in the heart of Bedfordshire, UK, Diana Jackson is fortunate
to be able to take a break from teaching English and business
studies to write full time. She has published two novels in The
Riduna Series, historical fiction set in the Victorian era through
to the early 20th century. She was originally moved to write
'Riduna' by her love of the island of Alderney and its fascinating
history and then she developed an unusual interest in the history
of early flying boats when working on her second novel 'Ancasta
Guide me Swiftly Home'. Whilst researching for the third in her
series, to take us to the 1930's, Diana has worked on several very
different projects. Her most recent novel, venturing into the genre
of crime, is 'Murder, Now and Then, ' which was inspired by an
unsolved murder back in 1919 in the heart of Mid Bedfordshire. This
murder mystery weaves the intriguing events of 1919 with a murder
set in 2019. Murder revisited Diana has also compiled a delightful
memoir of a 103 year old character called Norman Campbell. His
chosen title, 'The Life and Demise of Norman Campbell' is available
on Amazon too. Diana Jackson has two blogs,
www.dianamj.wordpress.com, where you can read about the background
to Diana's writing and from May 2014 you can also follow her
personal adventures, a year of discovery and other true stories, on
www.selectionsofreflections.wordpress.com/ She is @Riduna on
Twitter and would love to hear from you

With a more specific focus than the all-encompassing textbook,
each title in the "Foundations of Psychology" series enables
students who are new to psychology to get to grips with a key area
of psychological research, while also developing an understanding
of basic concepts, debates, and research methodologies. In this
book Diana Jackson-Dwyer presents an introductory survey of classic
and recent research on relationships and the theories that underpin
them.
The book starts with a brief overview of the place of
relationships within the history of psychology and of their
evolutionary roots: our need to belong, to attach and to affiliate.
After a look at methodology, it considers different types of
relationships: kinship, friendship, loving and mating. Theories are
advanced to explain the formation, maintenance and breakdown of
relationships. The book draws on a wide array of contemporary
research, and covers issues ranging from rising divorce rates to
cultural variations in mating patterns, the issue of gay marriage,
and the effect of the internet on relationships.
Each chapter contains numerous pedagogical features which will
help students to engage with the material:
- Chapter-specific learning objectives and summaries of key
points
- Study boxes presenting reflective exercises, research
questions, and issues for discussion
- Glossaries and suggestions for further reading
Assuming no prior knowledge of the subject, "Interpersonal
Relationships "provides" "an accessible" "and up-to-date overview
of this vibrant area of psychology. The book will be ideal reading
for students who are new to higher-level study - whether at school,
college or university, and will also be useful for first-year
undergraduate students taking introductory courses in
psychology.
