  From the time of Peter the Great to the reign of Vladimir Putin, the question of Russia's view of Europe and Western values has absorbed and divided the country's rulers, thinkers and people. One distinctive Russian idea, formulated almost 200 years ago, is that Russia not only differs from Western civilisation, but is morally superior to it. In the years since the collapse of the Soviet Union, this idea has come to replace communism as a state ideology. 
  In this concise and illuminating account, Bengt Jangfeldt highlights the dramatic swings of the pendulum in Russian history. By outlining the main features of the dualistic nature of Russian civilisation, Jangfeldt leads the reader through the history of ideas of this vast country and explains how Russia became the bulwark of reactionary nationalism it is today.

  The Beatons - A Medical Kindred...

  This book traces the Clann Meic-bethad or Clan MacBeth whose members practised medicine in the classic Gaelic tradition in various parts of Scotland from the early fourteenth to the early eighteenth century. From many medieval Gaelic manuscripts known to have been in their possession, individual members of the clan and their activities are identified. Sometime in the second half of the sixteenth century the kindred began to adopt Beaton as a surname for use in non-Gaelic contexts.
  The medical Beatons fell naturally into two divisions: one confined mainly to the Western Isles and the other to the mainland of Scotland. This detailed study of the Beatons and their medicine describes how the position of medical doctor was inherited by the eldest son, and potential Beaton physicians were sent out to be trained by other members of the family for several years before undertaking their own practice. The book provides information on medieval medicine at the highest levels of Highland society.

  The Science of Stress Relief -...

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.  
  Stress is an inevitable part of the human experience, woven into the very fabric of our biological existence. From the moment we wake until we close our eyes at night, our bodies and minds navigate a complex landscape of pressures, demands, and challenges that trigger sophisticated physiological responses honed over millions of years of evolution. Understanding these responses is the first step toward mastering the art of stress management and reclaiming control over our mental and physical well-being. 
  The stress response begins in the brain, specifically in a small almond-shaped structure called the amygdala. This ancient part of our neural architecture serves as the body's alarm system, constantly scanning our environment for potential threats. When the amygdala perceives danger, whether real or imagined, it sends urgent signals to the hypothalamus, which acts as the command center for the body's stress response system. This communication happens in milliseconds, far faster than our conscious mind can process the situation. 
  The hypothalamus immediately activates two primary stress response pathways. The first is the sympathetic nervous system, which triggers the release of adrenaline and noradrenaline from the adrenal glands. This creates the familiar "fight or flight" response that causes our heart rate to increase, our breathing to become shallow and rapid, our muscles to tense, and our senses to sharpen. Blood flow is redirected away from non-essential functions like digestion toward the muscles and brain, preparing us for immediate action.

  "What can we do amidst all the controversies over race and gender in society today? Do we have anything constructive to offer the world? As Jesus's followers, we do, and this book shows the way. A dangerous and revolutionary philosophy is responsible for the street fires in America. It fuels the actions of Black Lives Matter and Antifa. It invades curricula in public schools and in our military. It is in our churches. You have heard the phrase “white privilege,” the need for “safe spaces” on campuses, and perhaps the tongue-twister “intersectionality.” Behind all of these is an ideology called critical theory, which is a form of cultural Marxism that divides society into the oppressed and the oppressors. It claims that America is “systemically racist” and founded on slavery. It believes that the voices of minorities should trump the perspective of dominant culture. Unfortunately, this flawed perspective is overtaking our culture and infiltrating many of our churches. In this book, we consider the importance of critical theory, explain its origins, question its aims, and subject it to a logical critique. Listeners will -Gain a better understanding of critical theory; -See how it is permeating many aspects of society; -Discover how it opposes a Christian worldview; -Learn how to counter it constructively. A biblical alternative to matters of justice and politics is available, one that is right and true, one based on the ideals of the American founding. Find it in these pages."
