Summary

Healthy Wood Spaces explores the significant connection between wooden environments and human well-being, delving into how incorporating wood into our surroundings can improve both physical and mental health. It examines the science behind biophilic design, revealing our innate connection to nature, and how the presence of wood can reduce stress and enhance cognitive performance. The book uniquely synthesizes findings from environmental psychology, neuroscience, and building science, advocating for a design approach that prioritizes long-term health implications, challenging conventional methods that often overlook these crucial factors.

 
The book progresses by first introducing the core concepts of biophilic design and the scientific evidence supporting the health benefits of wood. It then reviews studies demonstrating wood's positive effects on stress reduction and cognitive function, explores how wood impacts indoor air quality and humidity, and analyzes design strategies for integrating wood effectively. This comprehensive approach makes Healthy Wood Spaces a valuable resource for architects, interior designers, and anyone interested in creating healthier spaces.

America: Standing Strong, from award-winning author Robert J. Emery (www.robertjemeryauthor.com)

That is where America finds itself today. 
“America: Standing Strong” brings together investigative reporters, scholars, scientists, philosophers, medical professionals, elected officials across the political spectrum and an endless string of quotes from respected voices, past and present, to examine the events of recent years, not what we already know, but what we may not, or have yet to acknowledge, in our quest for reformation. Every voice counts.

Who was King Edward I of England? And why should we learn about him? 
King Edward I was the first of three Edwards who reigned in perfect succession. He was one of the most important kings in English history, but he was also one of the most controversial. This was the king who subdued Wales and fought Scotland to a standstill for much of his reign. He battled leading Scottish figures that are recognizable to even novice history students. Both William Wallace and Robert the Bruce butted heads with this English ruler.  
Edward engaged in harsh crackdowns, yet he also confirmed the statutes of the Magna Carta and helped strengthen ties to parliament. Edward often behaved as an absolutist dictator with a penchant for reform. He has been described as a “great and terrible” king, whose equal parts of greatness and terribleness can easily be seen throughout his tenure as an English monarch.  
In this book, you will learn about:Edward’s early days as prince and the impact of his childhoodThe Welsh revolts and Edward’s eventual conquest of WalesEdward’s Holy Land CrusadeScotland’s crisis of succession and Edward’s long war with the ScotsThe rise of William Wallace and Robert the BruceEdward’s final days as kingAnd much more!

Conversations about abortion often center on the question: Are you pro-life or pro-choice? But what if that's the wrong question? 
Drawing upon the life and teachings of Jesus, Becoming ProGrace invites Christians to ask new questions, such as:What if conversations about abortion didn't have to feel so tense, divided, or dehumanizing?What does it mean to affirm the image of God in every person involved?How do we navigate tension we may feel when our deepest Christian values seem to conflict?What would it take for Christian communities to become spaces of empathy, listening, and grace? 
Including insights and personal stories from Christians of diverse denominational backgrounds and political perspectives, Becoming ProGrace articulates a uniquely Christian response to abortion that calls us to take on the character of Christ rather than trying to change others, offering a much-needed message of hope for our divided world.
