The New Psychology

 

The New PSYCHOLOGY:

A Unified Field of Brain, Mind, Behavior, Perception, Culture...: Abbreviated Edition (B&W)


These are the bits and pieces that make up a deep understanding of how our mind works. I hope I have done them justice. Welcome to the deep woods...

All teachers are inspired by the idea, however hopeful, that we are getting something across that someday, someway, will benefit our students, make their life better, and give them the tools that they need to understand a very difficult world.

In psychology, students flock to our courses, eager to learn the lessons of life, how their mind works, and how to understand others. They want to understand what the world is really all about. Yet what they learn is often that they must memorize vast amounts of data and studies that make little sense in how to apply what they learn to the real world. They memorize what they need to know to pass a test, not what they need to know to understand life.

This is a B&W, less expensive version of the original book. 474 pages, fully illustrated. An easy-to-read view of the reality of how the mind works.

“Examples are not another way to teach, Examples are the only way to teach.” Albert Einstein

Commodus: The Revolt of Avidius

 


Commodus : The Revolt of Avidius


In late April of 175 A.D Marcus Aurelius is camped at Sirmium in the province of Pannonia, poised to bring the barbarous tribes of the Marcomanni and Quadi under the control of the Empire and push its borders further northwards than ever before. But unbeknownst to Marcus, a single line of delicate text is about to threaten to throw the Empire into Civil War.


For 2,500 kilometres away in Syria, Avidius Cassius, the beloved general of III Gallica would soon proclaim himself Emperor, believing that Marcus Aurelius was dead. Avidius moves quickly and secures the support of the eastern legions, including the vital province of Egypt, without which Rome could not hope to feed it bulging populous. All but the legions of Martius Verus in Anatolia submit to Avidius.
With Avidius marching towards Alexandria and its grain, his victory seems certain. And if not for Avidius’s jaded camp commander Marcrinus, who now finds himself forced to fight for an ideal of Rome that he no longer believes in, Avidius may have succeeded. That is, if Marcus Aurelius was dead.
But Marcus Aurelius was not dead, and Rome is now alert to the danger. Marcus’s Prefect, Taruttienus Paternus is dispatched to Alexandria to try and reason with Avidius, but Avidius fuelled by megalomania and ego will not listen to reason. Taruttienus, believing he has no other choice, conspires to have Avidius assassinated.
But the attempted uprising had done more than simply threaten Civil War. It had left an indelible mark on the psyche of the ailing Marcus Aurelius, who now more than ever would look to his son, Commodus as his successor. And in doing so, set the Roman Empire on course for one the most destructive reigns in its history. The very catastrophe the revolt had been orchestrated to avert.

Before I Wake

 


Before I Wake

(Travels Across Time, Book 1)


Historical novelist Magdalena Moore is haunted by the black-haired, black-eyed knight she first encountered during a past life regression. Across a lifetime, Magdalena searches for the truth about Ranulf Navarre and his wife, the meek, complaint Lady Jane.

At Tintagel Castle, Magdalena is miraculously transported to thirteenth-century England, where she is Lady Jane, and Lord Navarre is her husband. But Ranulf is not the man of her imagination.

Why is Ranulf so cold and Janey so erratic? What secrets are they hiding? When England plunges into civil war, Ranulf backs the wrong side. Knowing he is destined to die in battle, Magdalena tries desperately to cheat fate, save Ranulf, and finally find happiness. But when her secrets are laid bare—or more specifically Lady Jane’s secrets—Magdalena fears Ranulf can never forgive her. And if he cannot, will they be forced to replay their doomed love yet again?

Woof

 



Woof is a children's book written for very young (0-2 year old) children.

It is the story of a dog called woof who, while rather dozy, grabs a thread of wool and runs with it!

Woof is a full colour, short children's book, but also doubles as a colouring book at the end!

Woof was originally written in 1983 by John Thompson for his children, Michael (who is featured in the story) and David, who has since grown up to digitise the Illustrations, first drawn in pen and paper by John all them years ago. This book was recently discovered once again in the loft, and was updated for the enjoyment of Freddy, Michael's son, to read when he was very young. We have all decided to share this book beyond the family for you all to enjoy with your children, and we hope it gives you all something to laugh about!

The Polish Prince

 


The Polish Prince:

A True WW2 Story of A Teenage Holocaust Witness



A True Story. Shockingly Relevant Today. 
 
It's 1939, and 13-year-old Zbigniew learns how to survive in eastern Poland when WWII breaks out. As the war progresses, he is caught between Nazi-German oppressors, the resisting Polish Home Army, the Ukrainian Insurgent Army, as well as Soviet guerilla, with bullets and bombs flying all around him. 

Along the way, he witnesses the Holocaust firsthand, sees Hitler, is captured by Ukrainian Nationalists, is deported deep into Nazi Germany, escapes his labor camp, fights in the Czech Uprising, and survives the bombing of Dresden, among many other events of the 20th century. Not to mention the fact that he may be of Polish nobility. 

Through his memoirs, he tells a riveting story of survival, being captured and sent to work camps, escaping, and of falling in love. 

Not only is Zbigniew's story incredible, but there are an uncountable number of parallels with the events of 2022—namely the Russian Invasion of Ukraine—which gravely highlights the importance of stories like these.

It's a must-read if you want to understand the background of the geopolitical issues facing that part of the world today.

A Ukrainian illustrator created all of the maps in this book. At the time of making the illustrations, she lived in Kharkov, which in 2022, has been under constant shelling from the Russian Army. It was last taken over by the Russians in 1943. See her testimony below:
"...We lived in Kharkov. My house was on the outskirts of the city in the direction of the Russian Federation. On the morning of the 24th, we woke up from the fact that bomb explosions were heard around... and the windows were shaking. After days of bombing, with difficulty... and in despair, we left the city."
-Victoriia Riabova

Also includes a Foreword by BARTOSZ GRODECKI, Polish Undersecretary of State of the Interior, who has been directly dealing with the refugee crisis as a result of the Invasion of Ukraine.
