The Royal College of Physicians celebrates its 500th anniversary in 2018, and to observe this landmark is publishing this series of ten books. Each of the books focuses on fifty themed elements that have contributed to making the RCP what it is today, together adding up to 500 reflections on 500 years. Some of the people, ideas, objects and manuscripts featured are directly connected to the College, while others have had an influence that can still be felt in its work. This, the second book in the Reflections series, focuses on the RCP's gardens and their history; important plants and doctors and others involved the gardens' development.

As a psychiatrist and psychotherapist, Jane Knowles finds that about 80 percent of her clients' problems stem from their need for, search for, and disappointment in love. Love: A User's Guide is a popular and comprehensive psychology book exploring the many forms this vexed emotion can take: parental, sexual, sibling, spiritual friendship and so on, from a woman's point of view.

The author takes us on an illuminating journey through our emotional lives from the moment a new-born baby feels its first rush of love -- and hate -- for the mother to the turbulent passions of adolescence and the flourishing sexuality of full adulthood right through the calmer, mellower but equally rewarding friendships of old age.

Accessible, well-written, and entertaining, Love: A User's Guide draws extensively on case histories and from Knowles's professional experience.
