Navigating Intimate Relationships: Locate Your North Star
by Kanika K. AhujaThis book spotlights the complexities of relationships, drawing on theories that have guided relationship scholars, classic studies, and current research – juxtaposed with the current Indian milieu. While some believe that the study of interpersonal relationships lacks academic rigour, this book argues that relationships not only play a critical role in human behaviour and development but also are central to our well-being, happiness, and health.One of the first mainstream books in India to address relationships beyond the binary of man/woman, this volume presents an inclusive view of gender and sexuality, including non-heterosexual relationships. It also touches on multiple types of relationships in the 21st century, such as mixed families, singles, live-in, living apart together (LAT), role of dating apps, and so on.This book would be useful to students, researchers, and teachers of Psychology, Applied Psychology, Mental Health, Sociology, Family Studies, and other allied disciplines. It will be a useful guide for students to build and maintain relationships and practice positive relational attitudes, like self-acceptance, gratitude, and forgiveness. It will also be an equally indispensable resource for counsellors, researchers, practitioners in mental health, family caregivers, relationship counsellors, and professionals in related fields.
Navigational Entanglements
by Aliette de BodardAward-winning author of The Red Scholar’s Wake Aliette de Bodard comes for your heart with a compelling tale of love, duty, and found-family in an exciting new space opera that brings xianxia-style martial arts to the stars.Jockeying navigator clans guide spaceships through the Hollows: an area of space populated by the mysterious but deadly creatures known as Tanglers. When a Tangler escapes the Hollows for the first time in living memory, each clan must send a representative to help capture it—but the mission may be doomed and the hearts of two clan juniors may be in danger too.Việt Nhi is not good with people. Or politics. Which is a problem when the Rooster clan sends her on the mission against her will, forcing her to work with an ill-matched group of squabbling teammates from rival clans, including one who she can’t avoid, and maybe doesn’t want to.Hạc Cúc of the Snake clan has always been better at poisoning and stabbing than at making friends, but she’s drawn to Nhi’s perceptiveness and obliviousness to social conventions—including the ones that really should make Nhi think twice about spending time with her.But when their imperial envoy and nominal leader is poisoned, this crew of expendable apprentices will have to learn to work together—fast—before the invisible Tangler can wreak havoc on a civilian city and destroy the fragile reputation of the clans. Along the way, Nhi and Hạc Cúc will have to learn the hardest lesson of all: to see past their own misconceptions and learn to trust their growing feelings for each other.At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.
