Product Information

Tatum da oldukça planlı yaşayan ve her şeyi ajandaya geçiren ve oldukça planlı-programlı yaşayan biri ve bende program yapmayı ona göre düzen kurmayı çok severim o yüzden bu özelliğini kendime benzettim. 😂

Lydia ; çocukluk döneminde bakım veren kişi ile kurulan bağlanma yapısının, yetişkinlikteki etkileşimlere etkilerini, ısrarlı takip suçu çerçevesinde işliyor. Charlotte; çocukluk döneminde yaşanan travmaların ve karşılanmayan aidiyet ihtiyacının, bir grup iradesine boyun eğmede ve şiddete yönelmede etkisini inceliyor. I’m not one to give 5 stars, but this book kept me wanting to read more and more. I finished it in two days. I highly recommend it and I did give it 5 stars since I would recommend my friends to read it.Lydia appears too well-behaved to be true but Adshead has learned to listen to her intuition as well as her intellect For a Negro, there’s no difference between the North and South. There’s just a difference in the way they castrate you. But the fact of the castration is the American fact.” – James Baldwin, I Am Not Your Negro.

It can’t be bargained with. It can’t be convinced. White supremacy is ravenous and vicious. It is America’s embryonic fluid. American was born in it and genetically coded by it. No amount of hoping or waiting, coalition-building or Kumbaya can redress that reality. And how can you not love scooper? He’s the ideal Swoonworthy boyfriend who is so in love with Tatum and she didn’t even realize it. He answers this question: “The possession of real statewide political power in the South could radically alter the architecture of oppression in this country” (p. 113). Adshead presents us with eleven cases consisting of interviews with eleven violent, and physiologically disturbed criminals. These particular people are deemed mentally ill, so they are housed in psychiatric hospital prisons such as Broadmoor, and here, is where I find it difficult to understand.From journalist and New York Times bestselling author Charles Blow comes a powerful manifesto and call to action, "a must-read in the effort to dismantle deep-seated poisons of systemic racism and white supremacy" ( San Francisco Chronicle). This book follows Tatum and Cooper. Tatum is determined to lose her virginity and learn everything she can about sex before starting college. She asks her neighbor/brother’s best friend/town heartthrob to help her by being her sex tutor.

Also it occurred to me while reading that no one would actually move to the South in large numbers for social justice alone. It had to be for economic reasons. And those do exist and I think that is what is making the New South is economic opportunities. There are new jobs here and lower cost of living. But who we see coming here are Millennials, who are demographically more diverse. Blow’s book is interesting but he doesn’t really spend a lot of time on statistics or economic truths - analyzing what is currently happening already. So the second half of his book fell a bit short. Why postulate when we have the data? Brother’s best friend, fake dating, a little bit of tutelage under the hot boy next door? I mean why would you skip ANY of that? Tatum and Cooper's story is a spicy, hot brother's best friend/forbidden romance/secret relationship/fake relationship story where a playboy falls hard and fast for the one girl he shouldn't want. In The Devil You Know, Tatum is about the start college. She's got everything she needs to get started and one thing she wants to get rid of. Her V card. Dr Gwen Adshead is one of Britain’s leading forensic psychiatrists. She treats serial killers, arsonists, stalkers, gang members and other individuals who are usually labelled ‘monsters’. Whatever their crime, she listens to their stories and helps them to better understand their terrible acts of violence. Here Adshead invites the reader to step with her into the room to meet twelve patients and discover how minds can change. These men and women are revealed in all their complexity and shared humanity. Their stories make a powerful case for rehabilitation over revenge, compassion over condemnation. The Devil You Know will challenge everything you thought you knew about human nature.

Professor Adshead also has particular expertise in the assessment and treatment of doctors whose behaviour has caused them to be in conflict with others. She has set up a group called Mindfulness for Doctors, which aims to build resilience in doctors. Her extensive research interests include abnormal illness behaviour, professional ethics and boundaries in mental health, and attachment theory. What I found interesting as well was another exploration of the entanglement between W.E.B Dubois and Booker T. Washington; where mistakes were made on both sides, but the argument never gets old.
