Irresistible Bok
Why are some things cute, and others not? What happens to our brains when we see something cute? And how did cuteness go global, from Hello Kitty to Disney characters? Cuteness is an area where culture and biology get tangled up. Seeing a cute animal triggers some of the most powerful psychological instincts we have - the ones that elicit our care and protection - but there is a deeper story behind the broad appeal of Japanese cats and saccharine greetings cards. Joshua Paul Dale, a pioneer in the burgeoning field of cuteness studies, explains how the cute aesthetic spread around the globe, from pop brands to Lolita fashion, kids' cartoons and the unstoppable rise of Hello Kitty. Irresistible delves into the surprisingly ancient origins of Japan's kawaii culture, and uncovers the cross-cultural pollination of the globalised world. If adorable things really do rewire our brains, it can help answer some of the biggest questions we have about our evolutionary history and the mysterious origins of animal domestication. This is the fascinating cultural history of cuteness, and a revealing look at how our most powerful psychological impulses have remade global style and culture.

The Inner Clock Bok
At this very moment, a symphony of tiny timepieces is ticking throughout your body - in your stomach and skin, in your liver and lungs, even in your legs. Orchestrating this round-the-clock production is a master timekeeper in your brain. What happens when these circadian rhythms are out of tune? How has our modern lifestyle led to an epidemic of broken body clocks? And how can we reverse it? In <i>The Inner Clock</i>, journalist Lynne Peeples travels around the world to discover the ways in which our circadian clocks affect our days - and our nights. Speaking to biologists, professional athletes, surgeons, astronomers, software developers and sleep scientists, <b>she reveals the cutting-edge research</b> that is newly available about the powerful sway circadian rhythms have on our bodies and our cultures. Along the way, she sleeps in a Cold War-era bunker, chases the midnight sun, spits into test tubes and wears light-adjusting headsets in an effort to decipher what makes our internal timers tick and how we can reset them for the better. Threats to our body clocks abound: artificial light, air pollution, jet lag, late-night meals and a myriad of other modern insults. But we can also <b>harness our internal rhythms to our advantage</b> - learning the optimal time to take medication, schedule a job interview or eat dinner. The time has come to reckon with the effects of circadian cycles on our minds, bodies and societies.

Traumaproof Bok
<p>For 25 years Benjamin Perks has worked on eradicating global barriers to child wellbeing, including poverty, hunger, disease, the mobilisation of child soldiers and population displacement. Yet there is one cause that is deeply personal: Ben wants every child to grow up feeling loved, seen, and safe. This passion comes from his own life journey.<br/><br/>Early relationships shape how we relate to the world, impacting our development for the rest of our lives. When parental bonds are broken by cruelty, trauma or neglect, it derails childhood in ways that can last a lifetime. Unfortunately, child trauma is much more widespread than previously thought. But that's not the end of the story.<br/><br/>Benjamin Perks went from being a kid in a children's home to a thought leader and senior UN advocate on ending child maltreatment. His journey taught him healing is always possible, and prompted the question: Can we do better at preventing child trauma in the first place?<br/><br/><i>Attachment Revolution</i> harnesses evidence from around the world to show why trauma is both an individual problem and the cause of our costliest social problems. But in it, Benjamin also argues that simple changes and policy interventions can break damaging inter-generational cycles. And he shows that building secure attachments and improving the quality of your relationships can radically transform your life, at any age.</p>

All The Rage Bok
Anger is all around us, from divisive social media arguments and heightened political divides to road rage and personal spats; from Black Lives Matter and climate justice movements to Trump, incels and white supremacists. When it materialises, it seems to cry out for recognition and response. It affects our bodies and can transition into violence. It can be inherited through the generations; it can manifest in criminal acts. What should we do with it, and can it ever be put to good use? Drawing on case studies of patients, developments in neuropsychology, literature, philosophy and recent political events, acclaimed author and psychoanalyst Josh Cohen identifies the different forms of anger, including the most untrammelled and elemental fury, the more cynical anger that works towards political unrest, and the questioning anger of political protest. Rather than an emotion to ignore, he argues that anger is a primary human feeling. It maps itself onto every aspect of our intimate lives while politically and culturally shaping our world. In a time of intense dissatisfactions and spiralling divisions, and with anger a dominating force, All the Rage offers a new and original understanding of anger, so we may better handle the rage within us.
