The Process Mind

With game-changing thinking, thought-...
Giant Silkmoths
The most spectacular wild silkmoths live in tropical and subtropical forests and include the elegant moon moths with delicate pale green wings and long tails, the atlas moths with snake patterns embroidered on the edges of their wings, and "bulls-eye" moths with brightly-coloured eye-spots that resemble the eyes of owls. The interplay of wing colour and design, behaviour, and ecology in the evolution of these extraordinary insects is explored in a lively text by award-winning author Philip Howse accompanied by the magnificent photographs of Kirby Wolfe. The fascinating natural history of the silkmoths and the manner in which they protect themselves are featured in this book in such a way as to enthrall scientists, students, artists and all those interested in wildlife and photography.
Dyslexia
In 1896 the British physician William Pringle Morgan published an account of “Percy,” a “bright and intelligent boy, quick at games, and in no way inferior to others of his age.” Yet, in spite of his intelligence, Percy had great difficulty learning to read. Percy was one of the first children to be described as having word-blindness, better known today as dyslexia. In this first comprehensive history of dyslexia Philip Kirby and Margaret Snowling chart a journey that begins with Victorian medicine and continues to dyslexia’s current status as the most globally recognized specific learning difficulty. In an engaging narrative style, Kirby and Snowling tell the story of dyslexia, examining its origins and revealing the many scientists, teachers, and campaigners who put it on the map. Through this history they explain current debates over the diagnosis of dyslexia and its impact on learning. For those who have lived experience of dyslexia, professionals who have supported them, and scholars of social history, education, psychology, and childhood studies, Dyslexia reflects on the place of literacy in society – whom it has benefited, and whom it has left behind.
Without Faith
Frank Tartt, a New York newspaper reporter, and a devout Catholic, loses his faith after the tragic, accidental death of his daughter.

Disregarding the laws of God or man, Tartt focuses his fury into acts of his own sense of justice and decides what price others will pay. New York Police Lieutenant Sean Horgan also tragically loses a child, his son, in a violent exchange with the son of a wealthy man who was in a position to buy hi...

The Long Road
A history of the airmen imprisoned in Nazi Germany’s largest World War II prisoner-of-war camp, the notorious Stalag Luft 7. This book is firstly a testament to those of many nationalities who found themselves imprisoned at Stalag Luft VII, Bankau (Luft 7 for short) in Upper Silesia, the Luftwaffe’s last prisoner of war camp. Having survived the trauma of action against, and capture by, the enemy, some as far back as 1940, they came from France, the Low Countries, Germany, Norway, Denmark, Poland, the Balkans, Italy, Hungary, the Mediterranean and other seas, and from North Africa. Many of their experiences and adventures have never been documented before. It is also the complete history of their prisoner of war (POW) camp, Luft 7, told in full detail for the first time, a camp that existed for barely thirty-two weeks from its opening in early June 1944 to its closure in mid-January 1945.
