In this groundbreaking book, the bestselling author of Parenting
from the Inside Out and The Whole-Brain Child shows parents how to
turn one of the most challenging developmental periods in their
children's lives into one of the most rewarding. Between the ages
of 12 and 24, the brain changes in important and often maddening
ways. It's no wonder that many parents approach their child's
adolescence with fear and trepidation. According to renowned
neuropsychiatrist Daniel Siegel, however, if parents and teens can
work together to form a deeper understanding of the brain science
behind all the tumult, they will be able to turn conflict into
connection and form a deeper understanding of one another. In
Brainstorm, Siegel illuminates how brain development affects
teenagers' behaviour and relationships. Drawing on important new
research in the field of interpersonal neurobiology, he explores
exciting ways in which understanding how the teenage brain
functions can help parents make what is in fact an incredibly
positive period of growth, change, and experimentation in their
children's lives less lonely and distressing on both sides of the
generational divide.

A passionate tale of plague, fire, and forbidden love from the acclaimed author of Solomon’s Crown
It is 1666, one year after plague has devastated England. Young widow Cecilia Thorowgood is a prisoner, trapped and isolated within her older sister’s cavernous London townhouse. At the mercy of a legion of doctors trying to cure her grief with their impatient scalpels, Cecilia shows no sign of improvement. Soon, her sister makes a decision born of desperation: She hires a new physician, someone known for more unusual methods. But he is a foreigner. A Jew. And despite his attempts to save Cecilia, he knows he cannot quell the storm of sorrow that rages inside her. There is no easy cure for melancholy.
David Mendes fled Portugal to seek a new life in London, where he could practice his faith openly and leave the past behind. Still reeling from the loss of his beloved friend and struggling with his religion and his past, David is free and safe in this foreign land but incapable of happiness. The security he has found in London threatens to disappear when he meets Cecilia, and he finds himself torn between his duty to medicine and the beating of his own heart. He is the only one who can see her pain; the glimmers of light she emits, even in her gloom, are enough to make him believe once more in love.
Facing seemingly insurmountable challenges, David and Cecilia must endure prejudice, heartbreak, and calamity before they can be together. The Great Fire is coming—and with the city in flames around them, love has never felt so impossible.
Nama is a Papuan language spoken by around 1200 people in the
Morehead district of southern New Guinea. It is a member of the

are either very rare or not attested in other languages.

sibling. Or you get a call from the headteacher's office for the
third time this month. What do you do? No-Drama Discipline provides
an effective, compassionate road map for dealing with such
tantrums, tensions, and tears - without causing a scene. Based on
recent discoveries about the brain that give us deep insights into
the children we care for, what they need, and how to discipline
them in ways that foster optimal development, this book offers a
'relational' approach that builds on children's innate desire to
please their parents and get along well with others. Complete with
candid stories and playful illustrations that bring the authors'
suggestions to life, No-Drama Discipline presents clear messages in
a practical and inviting format. Using these techniques, you can
discipline your children in a way that's high on
relationship-building, high on respect, and low on drama and
conflict. As a result, your life as a parent will be easier, and
your parenting will become more effective. And more importantly,
you'll create connections in your children's brains to build
emotional and social skills that will serve them now and throughout
their entire life - all while strengthening your relationship with
them.
