A profound new approach to healing trauma, grounded in a radical reframing of how we understand this nearly universal experienceFor centuries, we've been taught that being traumatized means we are somehow broken-and that trauma only happens to people who are too fragile or flawed to deal with hardship. But as a researcher, teacher, and survivor, Dr. MaryCatherine McDonald has learned that the only thing broken is our society's understanding of trauma. "The body's trauma response is designed to save our lives-and it does," she says. "It's not a sign of weakness, but of our function, strength, and amazing resilience."With Unbroken: The Trauma Response Is Never Wrong, Dr. McDonald overturns the misconceptions about trauma with the latest evidence from neuroscience and psychology-and shares tested practices and tools to help you work with your body's coping mechanisms to accelerate healing. Here, you'll explore: . What is trauma? The latest science that undoes the stigmas of shame, blame, and humiliation. Moral injury-having our basic sense of how the world should work overturned. The truth about triggers-what they really are and how they can guide the healing journey. Traumatic patterns-new findings to help break free from recurring habits and toxic dynamics. Why we can always rewrite our inner narratives, no matter how much time has passed . Finding a "relational home" for trauma-how we can help each other return to wholenessDr. McDonald's case studies reveal the many ways trauma can manifest and persist in our lives, yet there's one factor every case has in common: the trauma response itself reveals the path to healing. "Our traumatic experiences reveal that we can be bent, dented, or bruised," she says, "but we cannot be broken." For anyone who has gone through trauma or wants to help others who are struggling, here is an empowering resource for finding our way home to our bodies, rebuilding our relationships, and returning to full engagement with life.

In the summer of 1964, a reclusive young professor at the University of Edinburgh wrote two scientific papers which have come to change our understanding of the most fundamental building blocks of matter and the nature of the universe. Peter Higgs posited the existence an almost infinitely tiny particle - today known as the Higgs boson - which is the key to understanding why particles have mass, and but for which atoms and molecules could not exist.For nearly 50 years afterwards, some of the largest projects in experimental physics sought to demonstrate the physical existence of the boson which Higgs had proposed. Sensationally, confirmation came in July 2012 at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN in Geneva. The following year Higgs was awarded the Nobel Prize for Physics. One of the least-known giants of science, he is the only person in history to have had a single particle named for them.This revelatory book is 'not so much a biography of the man but of the boson named after him'. It brilliantly traces the course of much of twentieth-century physics from the inception of quantum field theory to the completion of the 'standard model' of particles and forces, and the pivotal role of Higgs's idea in this evolution. It also investigates the contested history of Higgs's responsibility for the breakthrough when there were others close by, and explains why the boson is named for him alone. Competition between institutions and states, Close shows, then played as much of a role in creating Higgs's fame as his work itself. Drawing on conversations with Higgs over a decade (a figure generally as elusive as his particle) this is a superb study of a scientist and his era - and of how scientific knowledge advances.

*From the author of the multi-million bestselling Sapiens comes an incredible new story of the human race, for younger readers.*We humans aren't strong like lions, we don't swim as well as dolphins, and we definitely don't have wings! So how did we end up ruling the world?The answer to that is one of the strangest tales you'll ever hear. And it's a true story . . .Have you ever wondered how we got here? From hunting mammoths, to flying to the moon?It is because we are unstoppable. But what made us so? Well, we have the most amazing superpower: the ability to tell stories. Fairy tales have led us from imagining ghosts and spirits to being able to create money (yes, really!).And this has made us very powerful . . . but very deadly. Nothing stands in our way, and we always want more.So get ready for the most amazing story there ever was - the incredible true tale of the Unstoppables. Find out how fire shrank our stomachs, how our ancestors spoke to animals, what football can tell us about being human, how we used our superpower for good and bad . . . and how YOU have the superpower to change the world.With full-colour illustrations showing the relentless rise and rise of the human race, this is history like you've never experienced it before.

With The Planted Runner, runners will learn to optimize fuel training with plant-based nutrition, harness the power of their minds, and perform at their best while discovering the joy of running at any age.Plant-based nutrition is no longer a fad, but rather has been shown to optimize athletic performance and reduce recovery time. Fueling with the power of plants is not only a suitable eating plan for training, but it is also delicious and satisfying. Author Claire Bartholic breaks down the information to provide complete understanding of how to eat not only to fuel running, but also to enjoy eating. Readers will also find a chapter devoted to basic ingredients and building blocks of a plant-based diet, rounded out with runner-specific fueling recipes.Successful training requires more than just good plans and nutrition, however. With the proven mindset training techniques provided in this book, the runner will quiet that negative self-talk which can sabotage the best efforts to find his or her potential. Through her coaching, Claire Bartholic has found the best way to successfully integrate those three critical elements-physical training, plant-based fueling, and mindset techniques-to help hundreds of runners reach their personal bests, and she provides her wealth of knowledge in this book.
