NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER More than 2 million copies in print! The authors of No-Drama Discipline and The Yes Brain explain the new science of how a child’s brain is wired and how it matures in this pioneering, practical book. “Simple; smart, and effective solutions to your child’s struggles.”—Harvey Karp, M.D. In this pioneering, practical book, Daniel J. Siegel, neuropsychiatrist and author of the bestselling Mindsight, and parenting expert Tina Payne Bryson offer a revolutionary approach to child rearing with twelve key strategies that foster healthy brain development, leading to calmer, happier children. The authors explain—and make accessible—the new science of how a child’s brain is wired and how it matures. The “upstairs brain;” which makes decisions and balances emotions, is under construction until the mid-twenties. And especially in young children, the right brain and its emotions tend to rule over the logic of the left brain. No wonder kids throw tantrums, fight, or sulk in silence. By applying these discoveries to everyday parenting, you can turn any outburst, argument, or fear into a chance to integrate your child’s brain and foster vital growth. Complete with age-appropriate strategies for dealing with day-to-day struggles and illustrations that will help you explain these concepts to your child, The Whole-Brain Child shows you how to cultivate healthy emotional and intellectual development so that your children can lead balanced, meaningful, and connected lives. “[A] useful child-rearing resource for the entire family . . . The authors include a fair amount of brain science, but they present it for both adult and child audiences.”—Kirkus Reviews “Strategies for getting a youngster to chill out [with] compassion.”—The Washington Post “This erudite, tender, and funny book is filled with fresh ideas based on the latest neuroscience research. I urge all parents who want kind, happy, and emotionally healthy kids to read The Whole-Brain Child. This is my new baby gift.”—Mary Pipher, Ph.D., author of Reviving Ophelia and The Shelter of Each Other “Gives parents and teachers ideas to get all parts of a healthy child’s brain working together.”—Parent to Parent

'A gorgeous story of love, loss, best friends and unbreakable bonds. It truly melted my heart' Shari Low Welcome to Heritage Cove, the little village by the sea brimming with character, community and friendship, and the perfect place to fall in love this summer... Melissa rushes back to Heritage Cove when Barney, the man who's been like a father figure to her since she was a little girl, ends up in hospital. After an absence of five years, her return isn't going to be easy, especially when she bumps into Harvey, the love of her life and the man she's never been able to forget. For reasons he couldn't explain at the time, Harvey changed his mind about going with Melissa to start afresh as they'd planned, and life moved on for the both of them. But with Melissa back in the village and determined to stick around to help Barney, they can't avoid each other forever. Melissa knows she let so many people down by staying away for so long, but she and Harvey blame each other for what happened and neither of them is willing to admit to being in the wrong. When Barney insists on cancelling the Wedding Dress Ball, the charity fundraiser he holds every year in the stunning barn on his property, Melissa and Harvey realise they're going to have to pull together. Otherwise the man they once knew might be gone forever. And when they unearth a secret Barney has never shared with anyone, they go in search of answers to not only ensure the ball runs this summer, but to bring back the Barney they know and love. Back in the cove after all this time, Melissa gets to see the life she left behind and it's time to deal with what it was that drove her away in the first place. Beneath the summer sunshine in Heritage Cove, the sea sparkles, the heat rises and new love, reconciliations and the answers to an old love story could bring changes for everyone. A charming summer read from bestselling author Helen Rolfe, perfect for fans of Jessica Redland, Holly Martin and Sue Moorcroft. Praise for Helen Rolfe: 'I really loved this book.

“More than just a dire warning about the “big one”…[ Full Rip 9.0] renders the remarkable story of how geologists and other scientists have pieced together evidence of an immense Northwest “megaquake”…[ Full Rip 9.0] may make you a little jittery (and cause you to re-evaluate your family’s earthquake readiness), but it is a captivating read even as it challenges long-held assumptions — including the firmness of the ground under your feet. The Seattle Times "Written by Seattle Times science writer Sandi Doughton, the book is a hard, fast and compelling look at the potential impact The Big One might have on us, and it documents the detective work being done by researchers who are trying to nail down the shifting tectonic structures below. It’s recommended beach reading, as long as you know your tsunami evacuation route." Knute Berger, Seattle magazine "[If you want] to know more about our region's history, seismic or otherwise, to say nothing of your odds of being squashed by a pancaking viaduct or a washed away by a monster tsunami, order yourself a copy of Doughton's book." Dan Savage, The Stranger "'Full Rip 9.0' is a worthy addition to the small shelf of books about the greatest natural hazard facing the Pacific Northwest. Doughton balances the excitement of scientific discovery with the grave risks that recent findings have revealed. Every Oregonian should learn and heed this Cascadia story. The Oregonian "Full Rip is a short, alarming read. ...the subject carries more than enough natural interest for Seattle residents that they'll paw through this book feverishly." The Stranger "...the most readable [Pacific Northwest earthquake] telling so far." The Portland Mercury " Seattle Times reporter Sandi Doughton draws the reader into in-depth science—science that says it’s a matter of if, not when, a big quake will strike—with vivid stories of the scientists behind the data. ...From the schools that will be shaken to the leaky tanks and Columbia Generating Station nuclear plant at Hanford that will feel the earth move, Full Rip 9.0 is terrifying in its implications, yet an entertaining summer read." Eugene Weekly "Restocking my family's emergency preparedness kit zoomed to the top of my to-do list this week, after I read 'Full Rip 9.0.' Seattle science reporter Sandi Doughton has written this alarming assessment of our region's seismic activity throughout history and uses the latest scientific research to speculate on what we might expect in the future." The Bellingham Herald " Full Rip 9.0 by Sandi Doughton is a compelling story about historic mega earthquakes along the Pacific Coast from northern California to southern British Columbia." The Christian Science Monitor "Doughton’s story focuses on the geological record and its implications for the Northwest. Does the region face an offshore mega-quake and tsunami on the scale of Japan’s 3/11/11 event that will kill thousands and devastate the economy, or a series of magnitude 8 offshore quake and tsunami events that will cumulatively be nearly as devastating?" The SunBreak "In this fascinating book, The Seattle Times science reporter Sandi Doughton introduces readers to the scientists who are dedicated to understanding the way the earth moves and describes what patterns can be identified and how prepared (or not) people are. With a 100% chance of a mega-quake hitting the Pacific Northwest, this fascinating book reports on the scientists who are trying to understand when, where, and just how big THE BIG ONE will be... If you live in this region, you should read this book!" Birdbooker Report

Over the past few years, GLP-1 medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro have completely transformed the weight loss conversation. For millions, they've offered something long thought impossible - a way to finally gain control over hunger, improve blood sugar management, and make lasting progress toward a healthier body. But here's the truth I've seen again and again: the medication is only half the story. To truly thrive on a GLP-1 journey - whether your goal is weight loss, appetite control, or improved energy - you need a way of eating that works with your body, not against it. And that's exactly why I created this book. The GLP-1 Diet Cookbook for Beginners is your go-to companion for turning the appetite-suppressing benefits of GLP-1 therapy into a real-life, sustainable lifestyle. This isn't a restrictive diet or a one-size-fits-all plan. Instead, it's a 90-day roadmap packed with:5-ingredient recipes that are quick, flavorful, and gentle on digestion. A structured meal plan designed specifically for reduced appetite while meeting your nutritional needs. Practical tips for managing side effects like nausea, constipation, and low appetite without derailing your progress. Tools to help you eat well at home, at work, while traveling, or at social events. Guidance for transitioning to intuitive eating and keeping results for life. I've filled this book with GLP-1-friendly breakfasts, lunches, dinners, and snacks that are high in protein, rich in fiber, and balanced with healthy fats. Every meal is designed to fuel your body on fewer calories without sacrificing taste or satisfaction. And because I know variety is key, you'll find weekly rotation themes, customizable swaps for vegetarian and dairy-free diets, and make-ahead options for busy days. Whether you're brand new to GLP-1 medications or looking for a way to maintain your weight loss results, this book is here to guide you from your very first meal to your long-term lifestyle. My hope is that as you work through the Reset & Nourish, Boost & Balance, and Sustain & Thrive phases, you'll not only see physical changes but also feel empowered to make confident food choices - long after the 90 days are over. Your journey toward a healthier, more energized, and more balanced life starts here. And I promise - it's going to be simpler, more delicious, and more sustainable than you think.

Hannah's love life is in ruins, writer's block hits, and her agent sends her to Sicily to finish her sequel. But when murder strikes, Hannah's life turns into the crime novel she's meant to write. Darkly funny, atmospheric, and full of twists, the second instalment in an addictive new series. 'Hilarious, dark and whip-smart, Under the Blazing Sun confirms Madsen as a wonderful literary talent' Doug Johnstone 'The quintessential holiday read, funny and atmospheric. Hannah is the kind of heroine we'd all love as a friend, and it's also a brilliant evocation of the stunning island landscape of Sicily. My favourite read of the year so far!' Kate Rhodes 'A wild ride of murder and humour. The most fun I've had reading a crime novel this year' Will Carver ______ Hannah is miserable. Her love life is in ruins, her contract demands a sequel to her bestselling crime debut - and she's out of ideas. After a mortifying TV interview, her agent ships her off to a sun-drenched Sicilian villa with a simple order: finish the book. No distractions. No excuses. But inspiration doesn't strike - murder does. When a night out ends in murder, Hannah finds herself at the centre of a murder investigation ... again. The police want her out of the way, and the only person who seems to believe her is a young but charming Italian police officer. That is, until she doesn't. Soon Hannah is chasing suspects, fleeing crime scenes, and doing whatever it takes to avoid becoming the next victim. She came to write a crime novel. Now she's trapped inside one. Dark, sly and deliciously atmospheric, Under the Blazing Sun is the second novel in the award-winning series featuring accidental sleuth and disgruntled literary author Hannah, whose pursuit of plot twists keeps turning dangerously real. ____ Praise for the MURDER BY THE BOOK series 'Dark and atmospheric ... Hannah is a pitch-perfect depiction of the bombastic neurosis that we writers know so very well' Harriet Tyce 'An original and thoroughly enjoyable treat' Guardian 'Fantastic ... darkly funny, tense and a lot of poking fun at crime-writing' Tariq Ashkanani 'Dark and sharp ... a lot of fun' Val McDermid 'Witty, dark, meta, ingenious and hugely compelling' Will Dean 'Hilariously scathing. Satirises genre fiction while creating a first-class example of it, full of suspects, red herrings and twists ... wit and originality make it a joy to read' Sunday Times 'Such a clever, original twist on the Nordic Noir tradition - darkly humorous and utterly captivating' Eva Björg Ægisdóttir 'Delightfully dark' Antti Tuomainen 'So atmospheric' Crime Monthly 'An absolute gem ... a superb mix of humour and dark, twisty crime fiction with an added layer of contemplation regarding what makes books 'literary' ... Not to be missed' Yrsa Sigurðardóttir 'Shades of Fargo and Twin Peaks - and there's no higher praise than that. Absolutely brilliant!' Rod Reynolds 'A truly original thriller that perfectly balances humour and suspense' Vogue 'A hugely enjoyable read with thrills and laughs, as Hannah sticks her nose in where it's not welcome' Michael J. Malone 'So satisfying ... a truly great read' Lilja Sigurðardóttir 'A skilful, witty mash-up ... really entertaining' Aly Monroe 'This reminded me somewhat of the more recent, meta efforts of the great Anthony Horowitz' The Bookbag What readers are saying... 'Laugh-out-loud funny ... Hannah is a brilliant creation' 'Skewers the publishing industry in the best possible way' 'Reminded me of Anthony Horowitz ... meta, sharp, funny but also so tense' 'A crazy combination of destination thriller, Nordic Noir and dark comedy crime ... I loved it' 'A new addition to my list of favourite authors!' 'Full of clever twists and turns ... worthy of the hype' 'Funny, gripping and so well paced' 'Very much looking forward to a third book - please don't make me wait too long'
