Sibling Rivalry
The breakthrough guide to solving SIBLING RIVALRY* Do your children ever argue, fight or wind each other up? * Do they get competitive, jealous or vie for your attention? * Do you feel powerless to stop their squabbling? *
The Evolution of Sibling Rivalry
One of the main tenets of evolutionary biology is that organisms behave so as to maximize the number of their genes that will be passed on to future generations. Parents often produce more offspring than they can rear in case special opportunities or calamities occur. This frequently leads to deprivations and even death of some offspring. This book is about the evolutionary diversity, importance, and consequences of such squeezes. The authors, experts in their field, review the theory, field experiments, and natural history of sibling rivalry across a broad sweep of organisms, in a clear and accessible style that should appeal to both academics and natural historians.
The Moon Over Edgar
In the lurid and ash-bound dreamscapes of Ian Felice's The Moon Over Edgar, sleep conjures the dangerous and darling vertex of surprise. These linked sonnets chart the uncanny pursuits of an insurance salesman named Edgar, inviting us into realms of the strange-fairy tales, prophecies, premonitions-with a powerful sense of beauty and candor, ultimately delivering a fantastic and frightening world of infinite possibility. By the book's end, we find ourselves in Edgar's shoes, asking: "Well-dressed skeletons, spinning carelessly, / Transport me to that happy place."
Star Map with Action Figures
"How does a sentence, // just like that, become prayer?" Part parable, part bestiary, part glossary of possible and impossible loves, Star Map with Action Figures, poem after poem, provides an answer. From the space between punishment and its promise, Phillips quizzes the thousand churlish faces of desire: two boys making love on a riverbank, a horse named Nightmare, the self "a needle pushed through / the stretched canvas of belief." Star Map with Action Figures counters the body's certainty with febrile syntax, challenging the mirror's ability to capture and the lover's willingness to stay. From the "forest that stands at the exact center of sorrow" to the cathedral in the speaker's mind, Star Map with Action Figures charts the severe and glittering histories of intimacy in flux. A king, a willow, a captain, the sea--all themselves, more, less, unsayable and not--become kinds of heroes, shattering the myth of "a limit to what any story could hold onto."
Preventing Sibling Rivalry
Explores jealousy in infants and provides practical advice on dealing with jealousy before a sibling is born and conflict between siblings.
Burnings
The poetry explore refugee culture, be the speaker a literal refugee from a torn homeland, or a refugee from his own skin, burning with the heat of awakening eroticism. In this world, we're all refugees from something.
The Ties That Bind
The family is a major area of scholarly research and public debate. Many studies have explored the English family in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, focusing on husbands and wives, parents and children. The Ties that Bind explores in depth the other key dimension: the place of brothers and sisters in family life, and in society. Moralists urged mutual love and support between siblings, but recognized that sibling rivalry was a common and potent force. The widespread practice of primogeniture made England distinctive. The eldest son inherited most of the estate and with it, a moral obligation to advance the welfare of his brothers and sisters. The Ties that Bind explores how this operated in practice, and shows how the resentment of younger brothers and sisters made sibling relationships a heated issue in this period, in family life, in print, and also on the stage.
