Alice Steinbach

Alice Tait is a well-known British illustrator who loves to draw. Alice’s favourite commissions are for children’s books, and her favourite thing to draw is dogs, so working on The Ultimate Kids' Guide to Dogs has been a real career high! As well as her work in children’s publishing as an author-illustrator, Alice’s artwork can be seen across adult publishing, fashion, posh food and even her own brand of gifts, which is the best-selling London gift range in the UK. In between high-profile commissions, and being mother to two very active young children, Alice loves nothing better than to nip out with her sketchbook to take inspiration from the streets around her, and the people (and dogs!) she sees.

'You'll Get Over It'

The Rage of Bereavement

Daniel C. Dennett

This book revises the traditional view of consciousness by claiming that Cartesianism and Descartes' dualism of mind and body should be replaced with theories from the realms of neuroscience, psychology and artificial intelligence. What people think of as the stream of consciousness is not a single, unified sequence, the author argues, but &quot;multiple drafts&quot; of reality composed by a computer-like &quot;virtual machine&quot;. Dennett considers how consciousness could have evolved in human beings and confronts the classic mysteries of consciousness: the nature of introspection, the self or ego and its relation to thoughts and sensations, and the level of consciousness of non-human creatures.

How Children Learn

R. D. Laing

In &lsquo;The Politics of Experience&rsquo; and the visionary &lsquo;Bird of Paradise&rsquo;, R.D. Laing shows how the straitjacket of conformity imposed on us all leads to intense feelings of alienation and a tragic waste of human potential. He throws into question the notion of normality, examines schizophrenia and psychotherapy, transcendence and &lsquo;us and them&rsquo; thinking, and illustrates his ideas with a remarkable case history of a ten-day psychosis. &lsquo;We are bemused and crazed creatures,&rsquo; Laing suggests. This outline of &lsquo;a thoroughly self-conscious and self-critical human account of man&rsquo; represents a major attempt to understand our deepest dilemmas and sketch in solutions. 
 
&lsquo;Everyone in contemporary psychiatry owes something to R.D. Laing&rsquo; Anthony Clare, the Guardian.

Be the Best Dad You Can Be

Deepa Paul

What if you dared to want more – from love, from life, from yourself? 
 
Deepa Paul rises from her boyfriend’s bed in the early hours of dawn. She gets dressed, slips away with a kiss and cycles home where she is welcomed lovingly by her husband. There isn’t a glimmer of shame, deception or guilt, only the honesty and compassion needed to make this kind of life possible – even if it wasn’t always this easy. 
 
Whose idea was it? What are the rules? Are you ever jealous? Deepa answers these questions openly and tenderly, as she seeks the truths that so many of us want to discover. Can I ask for what I want? Do I deserve it? Is it worth it? 
 
Beautiful and bold, this is one woman’s story of becoming, of desire and of identity, and of asking the questions she deserved to find the answers to.
