The children we once were live inside us, and our early relationships are the templates for our later emotional and sexual attractions. Although they try to protect us, they are also the source of our relational struggles, awakening our fears and longings, and constructing our love life, often without our permission.Diving deep into patients intimate lives, as well as her own, here psychoanalyst Dr Galit Atlas exposes our most private desires, unmet needs, yearnings and pain. Through her intricate portrayal of lives as complex as our own, we uncover the frightened child, the melancholic child, the ashamed child, the invisible child and the guilty child, and are gifted a nuanced understanding of the link between our childhood wounds and our adult love. By inviting our childhood selves to have a seat at the table, we learn to work through our past instead of playing it out in our relationships.This therapeutic journey is an emotional, multi-dimensional understanding of intimacy, offering a transformative path to healing.

Over 50% of Irish people under 40 are either living with their parents or in share accommodation, unable to live either by themselves or with partners despite that being their preference. The housing crisis is often spoken of as a bubble, but economics professor Ronan Lyons argues that this metaphor is outdated. Rather, Ireland suffers from a brittle housing system, one that has lost the ability to respond to change. This groundbreaking book shows what that brittleness is doing to society, how it emerged and, most critically, how a healthier housing system can be built.

The fourth and final volume of the graphic adaptation of Yuval Noah Hararis global phenomenon and smash Sunday Times number-one bestseller follows the scientific and industrial revolutions, as rapid advances transform society, reshape capitalism and propel us into the technological age and the dawn of AI.Until 1500 AD, Homo sapiens had reached a plateau in medical, military and economic power, focused on preserving long-standing social orders. So how did we leap from medieval scrolls to ebooks, abacuses to computers, wooden ships to nuclear submarines and from the Earth to the moon? As Yuval Noah Harari reveals, the spark behind the Scientific Revolution was a radical idea: ignorance. Paired with curiosity, it drove humanitys relentless pursuit of knowledge.This pursuit unleashed a powerful feedback loop between science, politics and capitalism, accelerating discovery and reshaping the world. In Sapiens: A Graphic History Volume 4 The Age of Revolutions, Yuval Noah Harari explore how scientific thinking came to dominate in the sixteenth century, overtaking religion and philosophy and fuelling imperial expansion, colonialism and the Industrial Revolution. Old social and political structures unravelled as new technologies emerged each invention both a tool and a weapon.Spanning from the early modern period to the present day, this final volume traces the extraordinary transformations that have defined our species, while also looking ahead. As advances in artificial intelligence gather pace, it asks what the future might hold and whether a new form of intelligence could surpass humanity itself.Like the previous instalments, this is an engaging, insightful and colourful retelling of the human story for curious minds of all ages.

Are Stoics just naive optimists? And is Stoicism really only for men?StoicismIs Not What You Think offers an invigorating corrective to one of philosophys most popular and most misunderstood traditions. Here philosopher John Sellars debunks all the major myths and misconceptions foisted on Stoicism by critics and sometimes admirers too and firmly puts them to rest.

How the turmoil of revolution and war created the London we know today the worlds first truly global city.The French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars changed London beyond recognition, turning it into the capital of the world the focal point of international finance and trade. Victory over France in 1815 ushered in the British Century: the next hundred years would be defined by Britains capitalist innovation and financial might, naval supremacy and imperial ambition.In this brilliant portrait of these pivotal years, Jerry White looks at how revolution and war on the Continent transformed the capital. While the manufacture of war materials brought wealth for some, high food prices led to bread riots. The war divided public opinion, with ultra-patriots clamouring for the defeat of Bony, while others sought to emulate the democratic reforms pioneered across the Channel. Crucially, the chaos and uncertainty on the Continent led to a mass flight of foreign bankers and merchants to London, which would help turn London into the worlds leading financial centre -- contemporaries called it The Modern Rome.Yet Birth of a Global City takes in the wider world too. Who was feeding London, in the British Isles and across the empire? How instrumental was Britains financial might in victory over France? What impact did the abolition of the slave trade in 1807 have on London, Britain and its empire? And how dangerous were the political ideas coming from the Continent? It was this turbulent period of war and political turmoil that created London as we know it today.
