  ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK 
  In Lord of Shadows, the second book in Cassandra Clare's Dark Artifices series, a rising darkness threatens the Shadowhunter world. Kit Herondale, drawn into this world against his will, finds himself grappling with his newfound identity as a Shadowhunter while navigating complex relationships with the Blackthorn family. The Unseelie King, driven by a lust for power and vengeance, seeks the Black Volume of the Dead, a powerful necromantic text capable of destroying the Shadowhunters' magic. 
    
  Internal conflicts within the Clave further complicate the situation, as the Cohort, a faction advocating for Downworlder segregation, gains traction. The return of Annabel Blackthorn from the dead adds another layer of mystery and tension. Julian Blackthorn, seeking to protect his family and the world, makes a desperate bargain with Annabel, promising to help her clear her name in exchange for the Black Volume. The story explores themes of family, loyalty, prejudice, and the struggle against overwhelming darkness.

  Blue - A History of Postpartum...

  New motherhood is often seen as a joyful moment in a woman's life; for some women, it is also their lowest moment. For much of the twentieth century, popular and medical voices blamed women who had emotional and mental distress after childbirth for their own suffering. By the end of the century, though, women with postpartum mental illnesses sought to take charge of this narrative. In Blue: A History of Postpartum Depression in America, Rachel Louise Moran explores the history of the naming and mainstreaming of postpartum depression. Coalitions of maverick psychiatrists, psychologists, and women who themselves had survived substantial postpartum distress fought to legitimize and normalize women's experiences. They argued that postpartum depression is an objective and real illness and fought to avoid it being politicized alongside other fraught medical and political battles over women's health. 
   
   
   
  Based on insightful oral histories and in-depth archival research, Blue reveals a secret history of American motherhood, women's political activism, and the rise of postpartum depression advocacy amid an often-censorious conservative culture. By breaking new ground with the first book-length history of postpartum mental illness in the twentieth century, Moran brings mothers' battles with postpartum depression out of the shadows and into the light.

  Virtuous Minds - Intellectual...

  Our culture today is in a state of crisis where intellectual virtue is concerned. Dishonesty, cheating, arrogance, laziness, cowardice—such vices are rampant in society, even among the world's most prominent leaders. We find ourselves in an ethical vacuum, as the daily headlines of our newspapers confirm again and again. Central to the problem is the state of education. We live in a technological world that has ever greater access to new information and yet no idea what to do with it all. 
   
   
   
  In this wise and winsome book, Philip Dow presents a case for the recovery of intellectual character. He explores seven key virtues—courage, carefulness, tenacity, fair-mindedness, curiosity, honesty, and humility—and discusses their many benefits. The recovery of virtue, Dow argues, is not about doing the right things, but about becoming the right kind of person. The formation of intellectual character produces a way of life that demonstrates love for both God and neighbor. 
   
   
   
  Dow has written an eminently practical guide to a life of intellectual virtue designed especially for parents and educators. The book concludes with seven principles for a true education.

  Laws of Ancient World Vol 1:...

  Despite all of the imperfections present throughout Ancient Mesopotamian legislation, these laws of the ancient world are a priceless treasure influencing the history of judicial science.
  In ancient Mesopotamia, a written set of laws adopted by a ruler or his kingdom was quickly established as the foundational governing document. The emergence of royal decrees came about due to the special conditions surrounding the establishment and development of multiple federations due to war, coups, conquests, the formation of territorial and political treaties, the rise or fall in power of a particular ruler, or the rising supremacy of one ethnic group or another. 
  Contents:
  Chapter 1. Sources of Law: Mesopotamia
  Chapter 2. Code of Ur-Nammu (2100-2050 BC)
  Chapter 3. Code of Lipit-Ishtar (c.1870-1860 BC)
  Chapter 4. Code of Hammurabi
  Chapter 5. Judicial Precedent: The murder case in Nippur

  Ten drafts to complete a PhD is a book of propulsive purpose. Only 1% of the world's population holds a PhD. But attrition rates remain high.  Tara Brabazon provides a concrete strategy to complete a doctorate.  Structured through ten drafts, the goal is to - iteratively - improve the PhD dissertation or thesis to enable a successful examination. 
  Each chapter of this book offers a guide through a specific draft and focus for the thesis. From transitions to references, from a Significant Original Contribution to Knowledge (SOCK) through to the introduction and conclusion, this book takes a raw, messy and fragmented first draft and creates a PhD of meaning, purpose and excellence.
