Oliver James Knihy

Děti mají velmi jednoduché potřeby, rodiče jsou však zahlcováni často velmi vědeckými radami, jak je naplňovat. V knize tvrdí známý britský dětský psycholog Oliver James, že děti mladší tří let nepotřebují výchovu. To, co doopravdy potřebují, jsou milující rodiče. Na základě spousty rozhovorů a posledních klinických výzkumů rozlišil tři druhy matek: Objímačka, Organizérka a Fleximáma. U každého typu předkládá v knize výhody i nevýhody. Ukazuje, jak se s daným typem ztotožnit a navrhuje několik jednoduchých řešení, jak skloubit kariéru a osobní úspěch s potřebami rodiny a hlavně dítěte. "Jak je nezku…t" před nás klade důležité otázky o způsobu vychovávání našich dětí. Nabízí například společnost rodičům dostatečnou podporu? Jak se za několik let změnila role otce? Může vůbec pracující matka ideálně skloubit výchovu s kariérou?

"Whether you are an experienced birder or just learning natural history, this book will deepen your sense of place and open insights to beauty, wonder, and connection to the natural world."--John Muir Laws, author of The Laws Field Guide to the Sierra Nevada Now in paperback! This charming, full-color field guide to 25 birds easily found in Berkeley proves that even the city's avian residents are a little quirky. Meticulously detailed illustrations capture each bird's distinctive physicality and temperament. A Burrowing Owl faces you in a full head-on shot, perhaps having just raised its raspy, chattering alarm call as you trespass on its last remaining Bay Area foothold at the Marina. The Anna's Hummingbird gives you a coy backward glance to assess if you've properly admired its flashing throat feathers, maybe having just performed its signature J-shaped courtship dive. While descriptions of identification and vocalizations are straightforward, author-illustrator Oliver James takes a delightfully creative approach to his write-ups of each species. A joy to read and pore over, Birds of Berkeley will enchant readers far beyond the city limits with its findings gleaned from painstaking and patient wildlife observation.

In the bestselling Affluenza, world-renowned psychologist Oliver James introduced us to a modern-day virus sweeping through the English-speaking world.

There is currently an epidemic of 'affluenza' throughout the world - an obsessive, envious, keeping-up-with-the-Joneses - that has resulted in huge increases in depression and anxiety among millions. Over a nine-month period, bestselling author Oliver James travelled around the world to try and find out why. He discovered how, despite very different cultures and levels of wealth, affluenza is spreading. Cities he visited include Sydney, Singapore, Moscow, Budapest, Copenhagen, Delhi and Shanghai, and in each place he interviewed several groups of people in the hope of finding out not only why this is happening, but also how one can increase the strength of one's emotional immune system. He asks: why do so many more people want what they haven't got and want to be someone they're not, despite being richer and freer from traditional restraints? And, in so doing, uncovers the answer to how to reconnect with what really matters and learn to value what you've already got. In other words, how to be successful and stay sane--Publisher
