Summary

There are no Sundays or holidays. There is no rest for those who have assumed the responsibility of caring for a family member in a serious and chronic condition (examples are not lacking: AIDS, cancer, Alzheimer's, serious psychiatric pathologies,...) even though there are times when other people replace them in this absorbing task. The caregiver is that person who, although he does not belong to the healthcare world or has been trained as such, is responsible for the care of the dependent patient at home. The existence of the informal caregiver (according to the definition of the World Health Organization) is fundamental in our society, but it is not without risks. On many occasions, throughout the disease process, the caregiver feels that he is running out of strength to carry on.

    An exploration of the Anthropocene and “a relentless reckoning of how we, as a species, got ourselves into the mess we’re in today” (The Wall Street Journal). 
     
    Meteorites, mega-volcanoes, and plate tectonics—the old forces of nature—have transformed Earth for millions of years. They are now joined by a new geological force—humans. Our actions have driven Earth into a new geological epoch, the Anthropocene. For the first time in our home planet's 4.5-billion-year history a single species is increasingly dictating Earth’s future. 
     
    To some the Anthropocene symbolizes a future of superlative control of our environment. To others it is the height of hubris, the illusion of our mastery over nature. Whatever your view, just below the surface of this odd-sounding scientific word—the Anthropocene—is a heady mix of science, philosophy, history, and politics linked to our deepest fears and utopian visions. 
     
    Tracing our environmental impacts through time, scientists Simon Lewis and Mark Maslin reveal a new view of human history and a new outlook for the future of humanity in the unstable world we have created.

    Foreword Reviews' INDIEFAB Honorable Mention
    Genuine Compassion, Expert Understanding—Explore the New Edition of Understanding Gender Dysphoria
    Few topics spark more debate today than gender identity, fueling intense discussions across social, political, and cultural spheres. Complex issues like gender dysphoria are often oversimplified into slogans and sound bites, overlooking the lived experiences of those affected and making understanding even more difficult in an increasingly divided discourse.
    Mark Yarhouse, an expert in sexual identity and therapy, challenges the church to rise above the political hostilities and listen to people's stories. In Understanding Gender Dysphoria, Yarhouse combines Biblical principles and scholarly research to offer a Christian perspective on transgender issues that eschews simplistic answers and appreciates both psychological and theological complexity. The result is a book that engages the latest research while remaining pastorally sensitive to the experiences of each person.
    In this updated edition, you'll find
    
    - updated sources and references,
    - language that reflects the most recent Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5-TR), and
    - new content on more recent trends, including rising numbers of young people identifying as transgender and non-binary.
    If you are a pastor, counselor, or someone simply seeking to better understand individuals navigating questions of gender identity, now is the time to act with compassion and courage. Understanding Gender Dysphoria is an essential guide for those who wish to approach this topic with empathy and informed insight. Order your copy today and answer the call to come alongside those on the margins as they resolve their questions and concerns about gender identity.

    The Influence of Greek and Roman...

    The interaction between Greek, Roman, and Egyptian civilizations represents one of the most dynamic periods of cultural blending in ancient history. As neighboring powers came into contact through trade, diplomacy, and conquest, their customs, ideas, and beliefs began to intertwine, giving rise to a unique fusion that would leave a lasting imprint on Egyptian society. This chapter explores how these cultural exchanges began and how they shaped Egypt during the Hellenistic and Roman periods. 
    The initial encounter between Egypt and the Greeks occurred long before Alexander the Great’s arrival, through trade across the Mediterranean. However, it was Alexander’s conquest of Egypt in 332 BCE that marked a significant turning point. His establishment of the city of Alexandria set the stage for a new era, where Greek customs and governance took root alongside ancient Egyptian traditions. The subsequent Ptolemaic dynasty, descended from one of Alexander’s generals, became a bridge between Greek and Egyptian worlds, adopting pharaonic symbols while introducing Hellenistic art, language, and administrative systems. 
    Cultural transmission was not solely the result of conquest—it also flourished through everyday interactions. Greek settlers in Egypt brought with them their language, religion, and lifestyle, but they also adapted to local customs, often integrating Egyptian deities and rituals into their own belief systems. Temples began to reflect a blend of architectural styles, and literature began to emerge in both Greek and Demotic scripts, reflecting a hybrid intellectual life.
