    Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) is an innovative approach that combines the principles of mindfulness with cognitive therapy techniques to address mental health challenges and enhance mental clarity. Developed as a preventative intervention for depression relapse, MBCT has grown in popularity and application across various mental health contexts due to its effectiveness in cultivating awareness and emotional resilience. 
    At its core, MBCT integrates mindfulness practices—rooted in ancient meditative traditions—with evidence-based cognitive behavioral strategies. Mindfulness involves paying attention to the present moment with a sense of openness, curiosity, and non-judgment. It encourages individuals to observe their thoughts, emotions, and physical sensations without being swept away by them. When combined with cognitive therapy, which focuses on identifying and restructuring negative thought patterns, MBCT provides a powerful framework for managing psychological distress. 
    The origins of MBCT trace back to the pioneering work of Zindel Segal, Mark Williams, and John Teasdale. Inspired by Jon Kabat-Zinn's Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) program, these researchers sought to adapt mindfulness techniques specifically for individuals prone to recurrent episodes of depression. Over time, MBCT has demonstrated significant benefits not only in preventing depression relapse but also in treating anxiety, stress, and other mood disorders.

    "This novelistic narrative captures both the violence and trauma of WWII and its subject’s remarkable heroism."— Publishers Weekly
    
    A month after her 24th birthday, Lt. Mary Elizabeth Balster collapses among the rubble of a shelled supply room. Has the young nurse finally succumbed to the mounting emotional toll caused from months of caring for the sick and wounded just behind the front lines of General Patton’s Third Army? On the night of November 30, 1944, holed up in the Heinrich Himmler Barracks in Morhange, France, Lt. Balster’s evac receives a typical patient load (over 200 soldiers, including wounded enemy), but this time one of the admissions is a 19-year-old tanker she’d nursed back to health five months before in Normandy. The charge nurse on Surgical gently informs the lieutenant that the private is critical, admitted with two gunshot wounds and almost half his body consumed by burns. Rising determined to save him, Balster limps toward the shelled supply room determined to search for any blood plasma bottles still intact after Luftwaffe strafing.
    
    Recaptured from her mother’s reminiscences and letters home, N. C. R. Davis takes the reader through every heat-of-battle harrowing moment as Balster lived it, achieving a rare glimpse of one nurse’s point of view during the latter part of the European conflict.
    
    The book mixes Lt. Balster’s observations, memories, and dreams to re-tell the true story of a richly rebellious and intense woman trying to navigate her life and nurture her sanity while nursing the wounded and dying frontline soldiers of the Third Army. Her strong-willed, beguiling personality fosters the grit necessary for her success as a combat nurse, but these same characteristics cause two men to fall in love with her. And the personal cost of war comes to a heartrending conclusion, as she must choose one man over the other to save herself.

    This book contains the following titles: 
    Japanese Mythology - Japanese mythology is a rich tapestry woven from the threads of ancient stories, religious beliefs, and cultural practices that have evolved over centuries. At its core, this mythology provides a window into the Japanese worldview, where nature, spirituality, and humanity are deeply interconnected. It reveals how the Japanese people have understood their place in the universe, the origins of their land, and the divine forces that shape their existence. 
    Korean Mythology - The unique characteristics of Korean mythology are closely tied to the geography and history of the region. The Korean Peninsula, surrounded by mountains, forests, and the sea, provided a fertile backdrop for the imagination of its people. Myths and legends often feature these elements as symbolic representations of life, death, and the balance of power between the human and the divine. From the founding myth of Dangun, the legendary progenitor of Korea, to the tales of celestial dragons and fox spirits, these stories capture the dynamic interplay between the mundane and the mystical.
