Select your format based upon: 1) how you want to read your book, and 2) compatibility with your reading tool. To learn more about using Bookshare with your device, visit the Help Center.

Here is an overview of the specialized formats that Bookshare offers its members with links that go to the Help Center for more information.

• Bookshare Web Reader - A customized reading tool for Bookshare members offering all the features of DAISY with a single click of the "Read Now" link.
• DAISY (Digital Accessible Information System) - A digital book file format. DAISY books from Bookshare are DAISY 3.0 text files that work with just about every type of access technology that reads text. Books that contain images will have the download option of ‘DAISY Text with Images’.
• BRF (Braille Refreshable Format) - Digital Braille for use with refreshable Braille devices and Braille embossers.
• MP3 (MPEG audio layer 3) - Provides audio only with no text. These books are created with a text-to-speech engine and spoken by Kendra, a high quality synthetic voice from Ivona. Any device that supports MP3 playback is compatible.
• DAISY Audio - Similar to the DAISY option above; however, this option uses MP3 files created with our text-to-speech engine that utilizes Ivonas Kendra voice. This format will work with Daisy Audio compatible players such as Victor Reader Stream and Read2Go.

Malignant Self Love

The first ever book about narcissistic abuse, Malignant Self-love: Narcissism Revisited offers a detailed, first hand account of what it is like to have Narcissistic Personality Disorder. It contains new insights and an organized methodological framework.

Schacter's cognitive labelling theory (Large Print)

This image is a flow chart which reads from left to right and bottom to top with four boxes and six arrows. There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left of the page when the image is the right way up. This image shows a box on the left representing the stimulus with two arrows on the right, one pointing diagonally up to a box cognitive appraisal of arousal, and the other down to a box physiological changes. This box has a labelled arrow extending vertically upwards via the thalamus sending impulses to the cortex to the top box. The boxes cognitive appraisal of arousal and physiological changes have arrows pointing to a fourth box on the right subjective experience of emotion.

Sleep patterns (Large Print)

This image shows the EEG readings associated with the different stages of sleep. There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left of the page when the image is the right way up. The EEG reading for awake is shown first and then five stages of sleep are shown (labelled above each line). Each stage is made up of different types of zigzag lines. There are four different types of sleep activity, which are labelled below each line: alpha, beta, theta, and delta. The first section shows the reading while awake, and is made up of both alpha and beta activity. The alpha waves have slightly taller spikes than the beta waves. Stage 1 sleep is made up of theta activity. This stage is made up of wider taller zigzags. Stage 2 sleep contains a K complex which has steeper, taller zigzag lines. Stage 3 sleep is made up of delta activity at the end, which are steep and wide zigzags. Stage 4 sleep is made of delta activity. REM sleep is made up of theta and beta activity.

Synaptic transfer (Large Print)

This diagram shows a cross section through a synaptic knob of a neuron, as it forms a synapse with another neuron. There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left of the page when the image is the right way up. There is a dashed image border around the diagram. A small branch of an axon starts at the centre left of the diagram and runs horizontally across the page, widening out at the end to form the synaptic knob. The textured area on the right of the diagram is the postsynaptic neuron, which is labelled. Between the postsynaptic neuron and the synaptic knob is the synaptic cleft. There are two calcium molecules to the top left of the synaptic knob. Next to them is the calcium gate. In the synaptic knob there are two vesicles, with neurotransmitter molecules in them. A vesicle has migrated to the right edge of the synaptic knob and burst. It is releasing neurotransmitter molecules which are going across the synaptic cleft. They will lodge in the postsynaptic receptors.

The Cannon-Bard theory of emotion (Large Print)

This image is a flow chart which reads from left to right. There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left of the page when the image is the right way up. On the left is a box representing the stimulus, and on the right of this are two arrows. The top arrow represents the thalamus sending an impulse to the cortex and leads to a box subjective experience of emotion. The bottom line represents the thalamus sending an impulse to the hypothalamus and leads to a box physiological changes.

The vase illusion (Large Print)

This image displays the vase-faces illusion, in which a vase and two faces can be seen when looking at the same image. There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left of the page when the image is the right way up. Two diagrams are displayed on this page, one at the top and one at the bottom. Both are the same diagram, but with different portions shaded, to show each of the two images as they appear in the illusion. In the top diagram the left and right portions are shaded, and can be viewed as two faces in profile, looking at each other. In the bottom diagram the central portion is shaded, and this appears like a vase.
