'A groundbreaking book that redefines what it means to be in a relationship.' – John Gray, PhD., bestselling author of Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus
Is there a science to love? In this groundbreaking book, psychiatrist and neuroscientist Amir Levine and psychologist Rachel S. F. Heller reveal how an understanding of attachment theory – the most advanced relationship science in existence today – can help us find and sustain love.
Pioneered by psychologist John Bowlby in the 1950s, the field of attachment explains that each of us behaves in relationships in one of three distinct ways:
Anxious people are often preoccupied with their relationships and tend to worry about their partner’s ability to love them back.
Avoidant people equate intimacy with a loss of independence and constantly try to minimize closeness.
Secure people feel comfortable with intimacy and are usually warm and loving.
With fascinating psychological insight, quizzes and case studies, Dr Amir Levine and Rachel Heller help you understand the three attachment styles, identify your own and recognize the styles of others so that you can find compatible partners or improve your existing relationship. An insightful look at the science behind love, Attached offers readers a road map for building stronger, more fulfilling connections.
Not many writers introduce a phrase - let alone a whole idea - into
the language. In Catch-22, Joseph Heller invented a motif for the
modern world. The book shaped everything that came after it,
establishing Heller's reputation as one of the greatest American
writers of the twentieth century. But where did the author who was
able to create that novel come from? And what happened to those
remarkable characters? In Catch as Catch Can, Joseph Heller's
stories are collected for the first time, and clearly chart the
development of a genius. From Heller's recollections of his Coney
Island childhood to the later stories of his greatest creation,
Yossarian, Catch as Catch Can is the last great work of one of the
twentieth century's most important literary figures
Joseph Heller's powerful, wonderfully funny, deeply moving novel is
the story of David -- yes, King David -- but as you've never seen
him before. You already know David as the legendary warrior king of
Israel, husband of Bathsheba, and father of Solomon; now meet David
as he really was: the cocky Jewish kid, the plagiarized poet, and
the Jewish father. Listen as David tells his own story, a story
both relentlessly ancient and surprisingly modern, about growing up
and growing old, about men and women, and about man and God. It is
quintessential Heller.
Founded in 1985 by Jean-Claude Falmagne and Jean-Paul Doignon,
Knowledge Structure Theory (KST) constitutes a rigorous and current
mathematical theory for the representation and the assessment of
human knowledge. The seminal work of these authors initiated a
highly active research strand with an ever-growing literature,
mostly scattered across various technical journals.Starting from a
concise but comprehensive introduction to the foundations of KST,
this state-of-the-art review volume for the first time brings
together the most important theoretical developments and extensions
of the last decade and presents new areas of application beyond
education, with contributions by key researchers in their
respective fields.Among the important advances covered by this book
are (1) a comprehensive treatment of probabilistic models in KST;
(2) polytomous extensions of the theory; (3) KST-based
psychological diagnostics and neuropsychological assessment; (4)
the representation and assessment of cognitive skills in problem
solving, as well as procedural skills. In addition, this book also
includes an overview of available software for the application of
KST.

With its sprawling yards and excellent schools, Cottonwood Estates
is the perfect place to raise children. The Cottonwood Book Club
serves as the subdivision's eyes and ears, meeting once a month for
discussion, gossip, and cocktails. If their selections trend toward
twisty thrillers and salacious murder mysteries, it's only because
the members feel secure that such evil has no place in their own
cul-de-sacs. Or does it? What happened to Lena's family fifteen
years ago was a tragic accident, and she will never admit
otherwise. Devoted wife and mother Annie refuses to acknowledge -
even to herself - the weight of a past shame. And new resident Jen
wants friends, but as always, worry about her troubled son gets in
the way. When late-night acts of vandalism target the women of book
club in increasingly violent and personal ways, they will be forced
to decide how far to go to keep their secrets. At least they all
agree on what's most important: protecting their children at any
cost - even if it means someone has to die.
