'The Psychology of Courage and How to Be Brave', this powerful book explains why good people so often do nothing. Have you ever regretted being silent? Who hasn't? In the face of discrimination, bad behaviour, evil and abuse, why do so many good people fail to act? Pioneering psychologist Catherine Sanderson uses real-life examples, neuroscience and the latest psychological studies to explain why we might be good at recognising bad behaviour, but bad at taking action against it. With practical strategies to transform your thinking, this book shows how we can all learn to speak out, intervene, think outside the group mentality and ultimately become braver, more decisive versions of ourselves. She explains the misperception of stacked odds and personal powerlessness that stops individuals challenging bad behaviour and discrimination on public transport, workplace fraud, sexual harassment, school bullies and more. She uses insights from academia, the torture chambers of Abu Ghraib, and crime scenes of police brutality, and analyses the powerful forces that drive human beings to act against cruelty, injustice and human suffering. With a sweeping breadth of research, Sanderson also gives us hope. 260pp, paperback.

PENGUIN BLOOM: The Odd Little Bird Who Saved A Family

Bibliophile price £4.00
Published price £8.99


A lovely young Australian couple Cameron and Sam Bloom were holidaying with their three little boys in Thailand when Sam leant against a safety fence, riddled with dry rot. The barrier collapsed beneath her and Sam stood poised on the edge for a seemingly infinite slither of time - 'Leaning back over the void at an impossible angle, her slim arms waving wildly, fingers extended as if to find purchase in the air and take flight. And then she was gone. She didn't scream. I never heard her hit the ground.' With frightful head injuries causing constant migraine, her spine was shattered at T6 and T7 and in Cameron's absence, a callous doctor brusquely told Sam that it was obvious she would never walk again. 'My brave wife was devastated.' In the darkest days of her struggle towards some sort of recovery, the pain and depression was constant. Suddenly a new and unexpected member of the family came into their lives - an injured magpie chick abandoned after she fell from her nest in a car park near Grandma's house. She became their little girl, and known as Penguin Bloom. In many ways the penguin saved them and as the little chick grew into a strong and beautiful bird, Sam found she could talk to her and they became inseparable, one always looking after the other. The three little boys fed and petted her and the bird was free to come and go from the house. The story is told with the photographer-author's own beautiful images about a crazy little bird who helped make the family whole again. The number one international bestseller. B/w photos. Paperback, 272pp.

'A beautiful, lyrical story of personal healing that deftly interweaves botanical history and lore, and highlights the importance of urban green spaces in an increasingly disconnected world.' - Kayte Nunn. Interweaving gardening history with memoir, here is nature writing and knowledge of horticulture to inspire readers to get planting and how plants have the power to help us find ourselves. When she suddenly finds herself uprooted, heartbroken, grieving and living out of a suitcase in her late 20s, Alice Vincent begins planting seeds. She nurtures pot plants and vines on windowsills and draining boards, filling her many temporary London homes with greenery. The benefits of sticking your hands in soil and where horticulture fits with the modern urban experience is blended in one enjoyable cocktail of memoir and botanical history. As the months pass and with each unfurling petal and budding leaf, Alice begins to come back to life. The book is a poem to wild hope, strength and tenderness in nature and in ourselves. 350pp, paperback.

In order to succeed in lobbying, you must first and foremost be politically aware and have knowledge of the political landscape. What is your political profile? Are you aware of who and what politicians are about? Do you know which politicians you have to persuade and who else is in the political arena, friends and allies? How do you deal with political risk and what do you do about politicians making decisions that will inevitably fall on your business?

LITTLE LABOURS

Book number: 93466 Product format: Hardback Author: RIVKA GALCHEN

In stock

Bibliophile price £2.75
Published price £10


For all new mums and those welcoming new arrivals, this has been described as 'A quietly revolutionary little book' from the award winning young New Yorker. A slanted, enchanted miscellany, Galchen writes about babies and art (with wrongly shaped head) and babies in literature (rarer than dogs or abortions and often monstrous). She writes about the effort of taking a passport photo for a baby not yet able to hold up her head, and the frightening prevalence of orange as today's chic colour for baby gifts, about Frankenstein as a sort of baby, and a baby as a sort of Godzilla. She calls her baby the Puma, and in her calm, literary style makes remarks such as: 'The baby loves to look at photos of babies. And at drawings of babies. And although she doesn't play with other babies often, she observes them on the street with a special interest, with much more interest than she gives to a similarly aloof adult. Albeit with less attention than she would give to a dog. It's a very particular kind of interest, a mirror interest, I am guessing. She doesn't know yet that she is going to get bigger?' 130pp.

NOISE: A Flaw In Human Judgement

Book number: 93665 Product format: Paperback Author: DANIEL KAHNEMAN

In stock

Bibliophile price £5.00
Published price £10.99


An international bestseller described as 'Outstanding' by The Sunday Times. To understand error in judgement, we must understand both bias and noise. Sometimes as we will see through the book, noise is the more important problem. But in public conversations about human error and in organisations all over the world, noise is rarely recognised. Bias is the star of the show with noise usually off stage. A few examples of the alarming amount of noise in situations in which accuracy matters are how different doctors make different judgements about patients' conditions, such as in the reading of x-rays; case managers in child protection agencies accessing children at risk of abuse; professional forecasters offering highly variable predictions about sales, and likelihoods of trouble; asylum decisions and the lottery of whether an asylum seeker is admitted into a country; personnel decisions and interviews, bail decisions; forensic science or decisions to grant patents. This variability is obviously troublesome from the standpoint of equity. The book investigates the difference between noise and bias, the nature of human judgement, accuracy and error, predictive judgement and even AI, human psychology and interpersonal differences; and efforts to tackle noise in medicine, business, education, government and elsewhere. We all make bad judgements more than we think and this is a book that shows what we can do to make better ones. 452pp, paperback.

HITLER'S INSANITY: A Conspiracy of Silence

Book number: 93762 Product format: Hardback Author: ANDREW NORMAN

In stock

Bibliophile price £8.00
Published price £25


The aim of the book is to discover what light Hitler's associates were able to shed on the personality and modus operandi of the Führer, and to determine the extent to which they (and indeed Hitler himself) realised that their leader was insane. The aim is also to investigate the cause of his insanity and in this regard the testimony of the leading Nazis who were tried for war crimes at Nuremberg during 1945 and 1946, are of particular relevance. Norman explores what lay behind Hitler's irrational behaviour and decision-making processes and whether he had any insight into his mental disorder. From conversations between himself and his doctor Theodor Morell, the answer would appear to be 'yes'. Drawing on his medical background, Norman explores Hitler's childhood, his experiences of loss, and his meteoric rise to power. He attempts to determine to what extent Hitler's ailments both physical and mental ultimately contributed both to his decline and to his death. He covers such topics as Hitler's Secret Book, Alfred Rosenberg, Göring, Hess, Himmler, Goebbels, von Ribbentrop, Funk, Martin Bormann, Hans Frank and whether Hitler had a possible Jewish ancestor. Plus Albert Speer, Rommel, Hitler and his Voices, Eva Braun and many other players in the story. With a glossary of terms, 272pp, many photos.
