The

Are trees social
beings? In this international bestseller, forester and author Peter Wohlleben
convincingly makes the case that, yes, the forest is a social network. He draws
on groundbreaking scientific discoveries to describe how trees are like human
families: tree parents live together with their children, communicate with
them, support them as they grow, share nutrients with those who are sick or
struggling, and even warn each other of impending dangers. Wohlleben also
shares his deep love of woods and forests, explaining the amazing processes of
life, death, and regeneration he has observed in his woodland. After
learning about the complex life of trees, a walk in the woods will never be the
same again.

formation, agency, and culture: a social psychological synthesis / James E.
Côté, Charles G. Levine. PRINT
Forensic
psychologist and memory expert Dr Julia Shaw uses the latest research to show
the astonishing variety of ways in which our brains can indeed be led astray.
She shows why we can sometimes misappropriate other people's memories,
subsequently believing them to be our own. She explains how police officers can
imprison an innocent man for life on the basis of many denials and just one
confession. She demonstrates the way radically false memories can be
deliberately implanted, leading people to believe they had tea with Prince
Charles, or committed crimes that never happened. And she reveals how, in spite
of all this, we can improve our memory through simple awareness of its
fallibility.
From a leading expert, a groundbreaking book on the science of play, and
its essential role in fueling our happiness and intelligence throughout our

social skills, adaptability, intelligence, creativity, ability to problem solve
and more. A fascinating blend of cutting-edge neuroscience, biology,
