![]() *AVOIDANT people equate intimacy with a loss of independence and constantly try to minimize closeness. ![]() ![]() *ANXIOUS people are often preoccupied with their relationships and tend to worry about their partner’s ability to love them back. According to attachment theory, every person behaves in relationships in one of three distinct ways: In Attached, Levine and Heller trace how these evolutionary influences continue to shape who we are in our relationships today. Also central to attachment theory is the discovery that our need to be in a close relationship with one or more individuals is embedded in our genes. Attachment theory forms the basis for many bestselling books on the parent/child relationship, but there has yet to be an accessible guide to what this fascinating science has to tell us about adult romantic relationships-until now.Īttachment theory owes its inception to British psychologist and psychoanalyst John Bowlby, who in the 1950s examined the tremendous impact that our early relationships with our parents or caregivers has on the people we become. ![]() Heller reveal how an understanding of attachment theory-the most advanced relationship science in existence today-can help us find and sustain love. ![]() In this groundbreaking book, psychiatrist and neuroscientist Amir Levine and psychologist Rachel S. ![]() ![]() More important, Ramadan presents the main events of the Prophet's life in a way that highlights his spiritual and ethical teachings. Ramadan provides both an intimate portrait of a man who was shy, kind, but determined, as well as a dramatic chronicle of a leader who launched a great religion and inspired a vast empire. In the Footsteps of the Prophet is a fresh and perceptive look at Muhammad, capturing a life that was often eventful, gripping, and highly charged. Now, in his first book written for a wide audience, he offers a marvelous biography of the Prophet Muhammad, one that highlights the spiritual and ethical teachings of one of the most influential figures in human history. ![]() ![]() Named by Time magazine as one of the 100 most important innovators of the century, Tariq Ramadan is a leading Muslim scholar, with a large following especially among young European and American Muslims. ![]() ![]() This is the story of those that 'did not' who are populated - and are still travelling - in America. 'When all is said and done, there are two types of men: those who stay at home and those who do not' Kipling. Grant follows the trails of the first European to wander across the American West (a failed conquistador) joins a group of rodeo-competing cowboys (and gets thrown by a mechanical bull) tells the story of the vanishing nomadic Indians and links up with 300,000 'gerito gypsies' - old people who live and travel in their RVs (Recreational Vehicles). Fascinated by the land of endless horizons, sunshine, and the open road, Richard Grant spent fifteen years wandering throughout the United States, never spending more than three weeks in one place, and getting to know America's nomads-truckers, tramps, rodeo cowboys, tie-dyed T-shirt concert followers, flea market traders, retirees who live year-round in their RVs, and the murderous Freight. 'Freedom is impossible and meaningless within the confines of sedentary society, the only true freedom is the freedom to cross the land, beholden to no one'. ![]() AMERICAN NOMADS is the extraordinary result. ![]() ![]() Motivated partly by his own wanderlust and partly by his realisation that America is a land populated by wanderers, he set out to test his theory.

But he was nice to her anyway, and the two forged an unlikely friendship that turned into a mad love. She was complete opposite of Jesse’s ten-gallon cowboy hat, cowboy boots, and tight-fitting jeans. ![]() She was dressed in dark clothes, down to the dark eye-liner, dark contacts, and dark boots. When Rowan Sterling came rolling into Montana on a bus at the beginning of the summer to work on Willow Springs Ranch (Jesse’s family’s ranch), she looked a little…different. He chooses to see the good in everyone and gives them the benefit of the doubt. He sees the good in everybody, all the time, almost to a fault. Not only is he a cowboy, but he has a heart of gold. If you’ve read these books, you probably do too.įirst of all, let’s recap for just a second. I want to squeeze these fictional characters. When I read Near and Far not long ago, I couldn’t believe that I could grow to love Jesse Walker and Rowan Sterling any more than I already did, but somehow my heart was able to make more room for them and I just want to squeeze them. I’ve held true to that, you guys – I’ve already re-read it via audiobook while I followed along with my print copy and I PROMISE YOU that I loved it even more the second time. ![]() My Thoughts: When I read the first book in this series, Lost and Found, back in May of this year, I said in my review that I would read it again and again. ![]() ![]() ![]() This picture book is a perfect small moment narrative!

When he goes home, he dresses up like a mermaid with items found in the house and proudly shows his Grandmother. ![]() Jessica Love tells a story of a little boy who wants to dress up like the mermaids he saw on the bus. The story was handled beautifully – beyond all expectations. Since this is a delicate topic for our culture, I wanted to see how this story would be handled. Definitely the cover and title curiosity on this one. ![]() ![]() ![]() A first-contact narrative, Dawn follows Lilith Iyapo, a Black American woman who wakes up aboard the spaceship of an alien species called the Oankali.
