Many are familiar with the short-term effects of drinking. Yet, few understand how alcohol systematically disrupts the gut’s health, throwing the delicate balance of beneficial bacteria off course and leading to a ripple effect of harm throughout the body. This book sheds light on the lasting damage that alcohol inflicts on the gut lining, resulting in heightened inflammation, compromised immunity, and an increased vulnerability to both physical and mental health challenges.

Readers will also find guidance on the steps needed to restore a damaged gut, along with practical tips for those wishing to reduce or quit alcohol altogether. 
  Whether you are a casual drinker, someone concerned with long-term wellness, or seeking recovery from dependency, “Gut Damage” provides a comprehensive understanding of how alcohol can silently harm the body and the actionable insights necessary for restoring and protecting gut health.

  George Orwell: The Life and...

  Editors Charles River

  for many walks of life, including commercial, diplomatic, academic, philosophical, and historical pursuits. George Orwell’s campaign for perfectly written English in an artistic and content-oriented sense might seem obsessive now, but the importance of written accuracy and well-conveyed meaning for that age cannot be overstated. In fact, Orwell and his works remain famous in large measure because they’re so critical of the ways in which language can be manipulated.  
  	Orwell believed that a decaying language was a decaying society, open to misinformation, manipulation, and rewritten versions of history, the kind of themes that have become synonymous with his name and works. He was a philosophical and political writer caught between strong capitalistic, socialistic, communist, and fascist forces operating around the globe in the early 20th century, and to prevent extremes on both sides from adopting and distorting his works, he labored to simplify his style past the possibility of misconception. His works hauntingly warn readers of the dangers of extremism, totalitarianism, and all other kinds of tyranny that can be found in government, and as a result, the word Orwellian is often thrown around. In the same vein, critics of government policies or individual politicians often make reference to Animal Farm and Nineteen Eighty-Four, dystopian works that were contemporary with World War II.  
  	With such a successful nom de plume, it is difficult for almost anyone but family relations to recall Orwell’s real name. Eric Arthur Blair wanted to be a writer from the beginning, but so controversial were his works that he wished to avoid embarrassing or opening his family up to criticism. The name Orwell likely came from the beautiful River Orwell in East Anglia. Either way, the gifted English novelist, essayist, and critic became a major force in political literature of the 20th century.

  A lowly farm boy. A mysterious barn. Three enchanted horses. And a princess atop an impossibly steep glass hill... 
  From the pages of The Blue Fairy Book by Andrew Lang comes The Princess on the Glass Hill, a spellbinding tale of courage, humility, and destiny. Meet Cinderlad, the underestimated youngest son who dares to do what his brothers will not. On three magical St. John's nights, he conquers fearsome earthquakes and tames three magical steeds—each clad in shining copper, silver, and gold. 
  When the king declares that only the rider who can ascend the slippery Glass Hill and claim three golden apples may win the princess’s hand, noblemen and princes from across the world fail. But Cinderlad, cloaked in secret and clad in dazzling armor, rides toward a fate no one—not even his mocking brothers—could imagine. 
  Perfect for fans of timeless fairy tales, The Princess on the Glass Hill is a charming blend of folklore, fantasy, and heroic triumph, brought vividly to life by narrator Matt Goodluck.
