"Love Bombing" is a radical new method for resetting the emotional
thermostats of troubled children and their parents, setting them on
a much happier trajectory. It is simple to do, easily explained and
works for both severe and mild problems from aged three to early
teenage. Many, if not most, parents feel that their children may
have missed out in some way during the early years. Offering a
simple, relatively trouble-free self-help method for putting that
right is what parents are waiting for. "This book is written in
highly accessible language", assures Oliver James. "The method is
explained as simply as possible, illustrated with cases". "Love
Bombing is a very simple technique which helps most children from
aged three to early teenage. Because so many parents are, or have
had, periods of living very busy or miserable or complicated lives,
most of us need to reconnect with our children from time to time.
Love Bombing does the job," explains James.
"Whether you are an experienced birder or just learning natural
history, this book will deepen your sense of place and open
insights to beauty, wonder, and connection to the natural
world."-John Muir Laws, author of The Laws Field Guide to the
Sierra Nevada Now in paperback! This charming, full-color field
guide to 25 birds easily found in Berkeley proves that even the
city's avian residents are a little quirky. Meticulously detailed
illustrations capture each bird's distinctive physicality and
temperament. A Burrowing Owl faces you in a full head-on shot,
perhaps having just raised its raspy, chattering alarm call as you
trespass on its last remaining Bay Area foothold at the Marina. The
Anna's Hummingbird gives you a coy backward glance to assess if
you've properly admired its flashing throat feathers, maybe having
just performed its signature J-shaped courtship dive. While
descriptions of identification and vocalizations are
straightforward, author-illustrator Oliver James takes a
delightfully creative approach to his write-ups of each species. A
joy to read and pore over, Birds of Berkeley will enchant readers
far beyond the city limits with its findings gleaned from
painstaking and patient wildlife observation.
"Love Bombing" is a radical new method for resetting the emotional
thermostats of troubled children and their parents, setting them on
a much happier trajectory. It is simple to do, easily explained,
and works for both severe and mild problems from aged three to the
early teens. Each chapter will be about Love Bombing a specific
difficulty that children often experience, illustrated with cases
drawn from real life. Problems described include temper tantrums,
refusing to go to school, sleep problems, hyperactivity, clinging,
and shyness. The method is explained as simply as possible,
illustrated with cases. Because so many parents are, or have had,
periods of living very busy or miserable or complicated lives, most
of us need to reconnect with our children from time to time. Love
Bombing does the job, explains James. The method was originally
developed as part of his work presenting three series of parenting
programs on ITV s This Morning.Love Bombing offers a simple,
inexpensive, and relatively trouble-free way for parents to engage
with their children, resolve underlying troubles, and help them to
enjoy the best childhood they can. Along the way, the author brings
in a range of scientific evidence regarding the issue, its causes
and solutions. The method works equally well whatever your social
background, ethnic origin, or nationality, James observes, because
the fundamental needs of children are the same everywhere. This
book has a genuine international feel as the author has
corresponded with hundreds of parents from all over the world, many
of whom have tried the method and found it to work."
This thesis makes two important contributions to plasma physics.
The first is the extension of the seminal theoretical works of
Spitzer and Braginskii, which describe the basics of particle
interactions in plasma, to relativistic systems. Relativistic
plasmas have long been studied in high-energy astrophysics and are
becoming increasingly attainable in the laboratory. The second is
the design of a new class of photon-photon collider, which is the
first capable of detecting the Breit-Wheeler process. Though it
offers the simplest way for light to be converted into matter, the
process has never been detected in the 80 years since its
theoretical prediction. The experimental scheme proposed here
exploits the radiation used in inertial confinement fusion
experiments and could in principle be implemented in one of several
current-generation facilities.

Dementia is a little understood and currently incurable illness,
but much can be done to maximise the quality of life for people
with the condition. Contented Dementia - by clinical psychologist
and bestselling author Oliver James - outlines a groundbreaking and
practical method for managing dementia that will allow both
sufferer and carer to maintain the highest possible quality of
life, throughout every stage of the illness. A person with dementia
will experience random and increasingly frequent memory blanks
relating to recent events. Feelings, however, remain intact, as do
memories of past events and both can be used in a special way to
substitute for more recent information that has been lost. The
SPECAL method (Specialized Early Care for Alzheimer's) outlined in
this book works by creating links between past memories and the
routine activities of daily life in the present. Drawing on
real-life examples and user-friendly tried-and-tested methods,
Contented Dementia provides essential information and guidance for
carers, relatives and professionals.
Are public sector institutions being exposed to ever-greater
oversight, audit and inspection in the name of efficiency,
accountability and risk management? Controlling Modern Government
explores the long-term development of controls over government
across five major state traditions in developed democracies - US,
Japan, variants of continental-European models, a Scandinavian case
and variants of the Westminster model. A central aspect of the
study is an eight country comparison of variety in the use of
controls based in oversight, competition, mutuality and contrived
randomness in the selected domains of the high bureaucracy at the
core of the state, the higher education sector and the prison
sector. Countries covered include Australia, France, Germany,
Japan, the Netherlands, Norway, the UK and the USA. Providing a
comparison of trends in the last quarter century in control over
public sector activities in OECD countries, this book will be
invaluable reading for academics and graduate students focussing on
political science and public administration, as well as
policymakers in OECD countries.
Happiness is a loaded term that means different things to different
people. To some, it might mean life satisfaction, to others, a

strong sense of self, fluid relationships, authenticity and
playfulness in our approach to life - he offers strategies for
optimizing each characteristic to live more fulfilling lives.
Helping us to understand the impact our emotional baggage has on
our daily interactions, he reveals how to overcome unhelpful
patterns and become more self-aware - revitalizing our approach to
life. One in the new series of books from The School of Life,
