New Releases by John Bradshaw

Aeneas Gunn achieved posthumous fame in 1908 as the Maluka, following the publication of Jeannie (Mrs Aeneas) Gunn’s acclaimed novel, We of the Never-Never. The story of Aeneas James Gunn prior to and including his year managing a remote cattle station in the Northern Territory can now be told, thanks to the discovery of a large cache of his letters. Gunn’s voice enriches the narrative with deeply personal, perceptive and often humorous glimpses into life in Australia during the last decades of colonisation. A proud and capable literary man, Gunn found his vulnerabilities exposed in unusual circumstances. His Anglocentric views would, in time, be tempered by the woman he loved and admired.

The bestselling author of Dog Sense and Cat Sense explains why living with animals has always been a fundamental aspect of being human. In this highly original and hugely enjoyable work, John Bradshaw examines modern humans'' often contradictory relationship with the animal world. Why, despite the apparent irrationality of keeping pets, do half of today''s American households, and almost that figure in the UK, have at least one pet (triple the rate of the 1970s)? Then again, why do we care for some animals in our homes, and designate others only as a source of food? Through these and many other questions, one of the world''s foremost anthrozoology experts shows that our relationship with animals is nothing less than an intrinsic part of human nature. An affinity for animals drove our evolution and now, without animals around us, we risk losing an essential part of ourselves.

"I have to hand it to Bradshaw and Ellis: Once you suss out their basic cat-training philosophy, their methods totally work." -- Slate We often assume that cats can''t be trained, and don''t need to be.

Full of training tips and exercises -- from introducing your cat to a new baby to helping them deal with visits to the vet -- The Trainable Cat is the essential cat bible for cat owners and lovers. "I doubt you''ll find a more well-informed or scientific book on cats that better shows you how feline thinking works." -- Times (UK)

John Bradshaw is arguably the most accomplished and well-known leader alive today in the addictions field. He taught us about functional and dysfunctional families, showed us how shame could become toxic and poisonous to our core selves, and helped us understand and heal the wounded, vulnerable "inner child" conceived by, and thriving in, that environment. In Post-Romantic Stress Disorder (PRSD), Bradshaw gives readers a clear explanation of the difference between falling in love, lust, and true love. Based on his research, PRSD is a deeply serious psychological disorder and the cause of 40% of all divorces –divorces that could have been prevented. Every day people throw away perfectly good relationships because they just don''t know how to navigate the tides, but if they could learn and understand the concepts Bradshaw presents in this book, the portrait of the family unit could have a whole new landscape. Join this great teacher as he opens the gates to a new frontier, tackling issues that threaten and endanger so many modern relationships. Be encouraged as he leads the way to a deeper and more fulfilling spiritual union. As he so eruditely observed some time ago, "As the health of the marriage goes, so goes the health of the family." Yet Bradshaw ladles out hope unlimited?if parents could restore a deep, authentic love for each other it could be passed on to their children and families would actually flourish.

Vénérés en tant que dieux, craints en tant que serviteurs du Diable, considérés à la fois comme des opportunistes sans vergogne et des compagnons bien-aimés, les chats nous paraissent souvent aujourd’hui aussi incompréhensibles, mystérieux et géniaux que dans les temps anciens. Ils vivent avec les humains depuis au moins dix mille ans (bien avant le règne des pharaons) et ils représentent de nos jours l’animal domestique le plus répandu. Il n’y a rien d’étonnant à ce qu’ils soient trois plus nombreux que le chien, le «meilleur ami» de l’homme: à la fois affectueux et indépendants, ils semblent parfaitement adaptés à notre style de vie effréné du XXIe siècle. Pourtant, les chats pensent encore comme les charognards et les chasseurs sauvages dont ils sont les descendants — et dont ils peuvent rapidement retrouver la nature. De nos jours, ils se trouvent confrontés à des défis sans précédent dans leurs rapports avec les humains: de la part des défenseurs de l’environnement qui les voient comme une menace pour la faune; de la part des autres chats à qui ils font concurrence sur un même territoire; et de la part de propriétaires bien intentionnés et de vétérinaires qui se font de fausses idées sur ce qui leur est nécessaire. S’ils doivent continuer à vivre agréablement avec nous, ils n’ont pas tant besoin de notre affection que de notre compréhension. Grâce aux récents progrès dans le domaine de l’étude des félins — dont John Bradshaw est un des pionniers — nous sommes mieux que jamais auparavant en mesure de les comprendre. Ce livre nous présente pour la première fois un véritable portrait de l’un des compagnons les plus proches et les plus mystérieux de l’humanité.

In this powerful book, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Reclaiming Virtue shows how we can learn to nurture our inner child and offer ourselves the good parenting we needed and longed for. Are you outwardly successful but inwardly feel like a big kid? Do you aspire to be a loving parent but too often “lose it” in hurtful ways? Do you crave intimacy but sometimes wonder if it’s worth the struggle? Are you plagued by constant, vague feelings of anxiety or depression? If any of this sounds familiar, you may be experiencing the hidden but damaging effects of a painful childhood—carrying within you a “wounded inner child” who is crying out for attention and healing. John Bradshaw’s step-by-step process of exploring the unfinished business of each developmental stage helps us break away from destructive family rules and roles, freeing ourselves to live responsibly in the present. Then, says Bradshaw, the healed inner child becomes a source of vitality, inviting us to find new joy and energy in living. Homecoming includes a wealth of unique case histories and interactive techniques, including questionnaires, guided meditations, affirmations, and letter-writing to the inner child. These classic therapies, which were pioneering when introduced, continue to be validated by new discoveries in attachment research and neuroscience. No one has ever brought them to a popular audience more effectively and inspiringly than John Bradshaw.

Een eeuw geleden nog moesten de meeste honden werken voor de kost en werden ze gefokt op gezondheid, kracht en aanhankelijkheid. Tegenwoordig wordt er door fokkers meer gelet op uiterlijke kenmerken dan op gezondheid of geschiktheid als huisdier. Bovendien behandelen we honden te vaak als wolven of als harige mensjes. In Dit is de hond ontmaskert John Bradshaw, expert op het gebied van hondengedrag en hondenwelzijn, een groot aantal populaire ideeën over de aard van de hond, zoals de gedachte dat honden willen domineren. Bradshaw maakt duidelijk dat honden absoluut geen gedomesticeerde wolven zijn die willen domineren, maar unieke dieren met een uiterst sociaal gedrag, die het vermogen hebben om harmonisch samen te leven met andere soorten, in het bijzonder de mens. Bradshaw geeft ook belangrijke informatie over de anatomische en psychologische eigenschappen van de hond, aan de hand waarvan je het welzijn van je hond kunt verbeteren. In Dit is de hond laat Bradshaw helder en overtuigend zien hoe je je kennis van je hond kunt vergroten en hoe je nog beter met hem kunt omgaan.

Hunde sind seit Zehntausenden von Jahren unsere engsten Begleiter. Und obwohl wir noch nie so viel Geld für sie ausgegeben haben wie heute, fehlt es doch häufig am grundlegenden Verständnis für ihre Bedürfnisse. Höchste Zeit, dass jemand einmal ganz eindeutig die Partei der Hunde ergreift. Nicht die der Karikatur vom Wolf im Hundepelz, der seinen Besitzer bei erstbester Gelegenheit dominieren möchte, und auch nicht die des Modeaccessoires oder Showtieres, das Schleifen und Pokale für seinen Besitzer sammelt, sondern die des wahren Hundes, der ganz einfach Teil der Familie sein möchte. Biologen wissen heute weit mehr darüber, wie Hunde wirklich "ticken", als noch vor zwanzig Jahren, und John Bradshaw war an dieser Forschung maßgeblich beteiligt. Mit diesem Buch möchte er die neuen und zum Teil erstaunlichen wissenschaftlichen Erkenntnisse dem Hundehalter nahebringen und damit für ein besseres Verständnis unseres besten Freundes werben.

" Como a nova ciência do comportamento canino pode fazer de você um verdadeiro amigo do seu cachorro. John Bradshaw sai em defesa dos cachorros, após uma pesquisa de mais de 20 anos. Para o autor, a verdadeira vocação do animal de estimação é se tornar um membro da família, ao contrário do que dizem as técnicas de treinamento atuais. Aliando as mais recentes descobertas da Biologia à própria experiência com cães, em Cão senso Bradshaw nos ajuda a entender quais as verdadeiras necessidades caninas e qual a melhor forma de conviver com seu cachorro sem precisar dominá-lo pelo medo ou pelo método de compensações. Essa nova compreensão científica tem sido lentamente assimilada pelos donos, mas ainda é pouco significativa na vida dos cães. Este livro chega para mudar isso. “Lendo este livro, você fará um grande bem ao seu cão.” - The Economist “Fascinante. Um manisfesto para o entendimento dos nossos amigos cães.” - The Guardian "

Dogs have been mankind''s faithful companions for tens of thousands of years, yet today they are regularly treated as either pack-following wolves or furry humans. The truth is, dogs are neither -- and our misunderstanding has put them in serious crisis. What dogs really need is a spokesperson, someone who will assert their specific needs. Renowned anthrozoologist Dr. John Bradshaw has made a career of studying human-animal interactions, and in Dog Sense he uses the latest scientific research to show how humans can live in harmony with -- not just dominion over -- their four-legged friends. From explaining why positive reinforcement is a more effective (and less damaging) way to control dogs'' behavior than punishment to demonstrating the importance of weighing a dog''s unique personality against stereotypes about its breed, Bradshaw offers extraordinary insight into the question of how we really ought to treat our dogs.

What would dogs ask for, if they knew how? In the Sunday Times bestseller In Defence of Dogs John Bradshaw, an anthropologist at Bristol University who has been at the centre of the latest research into what makes dogs tick, gives us the answers.Overturning the most common myths about dogs'' emotions and behaviour, this book shows how we should really treat our pets, and stands up for dogdom: not the wolf in canine clothes, not the small furry child, not the trophy-winner, but the real dog, who wants to be part of the family and enjoy life - mankind''s closest friend. This is the real science that every dog lover needs to know.

What if you had the chance to ask the God of the Bible questions? What would you ask? What if the opposite view was represented. Would you welcome that as well? This is a story of just such an encounter and the resulting no holds barred debate between the principles. A normal day at work, a not so normal drive home. Willing to explore? A Conversation between Theos and Diabolos

Based on the public television series of the same name, Bradshaw On: The Family is John Bradshaw''s seminal work on the dynamics of families that has sold more than a million copies since its original publication in 1988. Within its pages, you will discover the cause of emotionally impaired families. You will learn how unhealthy rules of behavior are passed down from parents to children, and the destructive effect this process has on our society. Using the latest family research and recovery material in this new edition, Bradshaw also explores the individual in both a family and societal setting. He shows you ways to escape the tyranny of family-reinforced behavior traps--from addiction and co-dependency to loss of will and denial--and demonstrates how to make conscious choices that will transform your life and the lives of your loved ones. He helps you heal yourself and then, using what you have learned helps you heal your family. Finally, Bradshaw extends this idea to our society: by returning yourself and your family to emotional health, you can heal the world in which you live. He helps you reenvision societal conflicts from the perspective of a global family, and shares with you the power of deep democracy: how the choices you make every day can affect--and improve--your world.
