Comedy / 5m, 7f / Interior The Reardons are a typical American family whose eccentricities, if hilarious, are only normal. Laura, the mother, is a social climber. The youngest, Penelope, is a demon with a slingshot and the piano. Harry, the son, is positive he is the second coming of Shakespeare. Reginald, the father, would rather tinker with the automobile than ticker tape; and Nana, the wisecracking grandmother, is only concerned with Bing Crosby records.

In her bestselling follow-up to Grief Works and This Too Shall Pass, much-loved psychotherapist Julia Samuel invites us into her sessions as she explores the relationships that have the power to touch us and hurt us most: those with our family. Through eight beautifully told case studies, covering a variety of families across multiple generations, she analyses common issues from losing a parent to children leaving home, and from separation to step-relationships. In doing so she shows how much is, in fact, inherited—and how much can be healed when it is faced together.

Its twelve touchstones for family well-being show how to communicate effectively, set boundaries, fight productively and allow change. This is a wise and insightful exploration of modern life that will help us create the families we wish for.

But you only have to look to the animal kingdom to realize that families come in all shapes and sizes. Some families are large, with lots of siblings.

Every Family is Different will introduce you to nature's families, in all their wonderful diversity, and show you that they are all natural and perfect, each in their own way. Just like yours!...

This Chinese-English dictionary of proverbs (yanyu) consists of approximately 4,000 Chinese proverbs alphabetically arranged by the first word(s) (ci) of the proverb according to the Hanyu Pinyin transcription and Chinese characters (standard simplified), followed by a literal (and when necessary also a figurative) English translation. Additional data such as brief usage notes, sources, parallel expressions, cross-references, and famous instances of use are provided where available. The proverbs are supplemented by an index of key words (both Chinese and English) found in all entries and of all topics addressed. The author has provided a scholarly introduction analyzing the definition, structure, usage, and history of these yanyu in traditional and contemporary China as well as a bibliography of collections and relevant scholarly studies of yanyu. This work, the first such scholarly collection to appear since the Reverend Scarborough’s 1926 collection, will be of use not only to sinologists in a wide variety of fields, including anthropology, literature, sociology, psychology, and history, but also to non-Chinese readers interested in Chinese culture or comparative ethnolinguistic and paremiological research.
