  The Crusader States - Kingdoms...

  The story of the Crusader States begins with a cry for help and a call to arms that would echo across Christendom. In 1095, at the Council of Clermont, Pope Urban II delivered a fiery sermon urging the Christian knights of Europe to take up arms and reclaim the Holy Land from Muslim control. This call to crusade was not merely a military summons—it was framed as a sacred duty, a spiritual journey that promised the remission of sins and eternal reward for those who participated. The response was overwhelming. Nobles, peasants, and knights alike took up the cross, inspired by religious fervor, promises of salvation, and, for some, the allure of land and glory. 
  The roots of the crusading movement were complex. The Byzantine Empire, under threat from the Seljuk Turks, had appealed to the West for military support. Urban II seized the opportunity not only to assist a fellow Christian empire but also to assert papal authority, redirect knightly violence away from Europe, and perhaps reunite the Eastern and Western Churches. His appeal resonated deeply in a Europe rife with feudal conflict, religious devotion, and a growing warrior culture. The concept of "holy war" gave new legitimacy to warfare as a religious act, transforming knights into pilgrims with a sword. 
  The First Crusade, launched in 1096, was both chaotic and remarkable. It was not a single army but a series of loosely organized forces, including the infamous People's Crusade led by Peter the Hermit, which was largely destroyed before reaching the Holy Land. The main crusading armies followed, composed of powerful lords such as Godfrey of Bouillon, Raymond of Toulouse, Bohemond of Taranto, and others. These forces traversed hostile territory, besieged cities, and faced hunger, disease, and internal divisions. Yet, against the odds, they succeeded in capturing Jerusalem in July 1099.

  Emmy-award winning broadcast journalist and leading Alzheimer’s advocate Meryl Comer’s Slow Dancing With a Stranger is a profoundly personal, unflinching account of her husband’s battle with Alzheimer’s disease that serves as a much-needed wake-up call to better understand and address a progressive and deadly affliction. 
  When Meryl Comer’s husband Harvey Gralnick was diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer’s disease in 1996, she watched as the man who headed hematology and oncology research at the National Institutes of Health started to misplace important documents and forget clinical details that had once been cataloged encyclopedically in his mind. With harrowing honesty, she brings readers face to face with this devastating condition and its effects on its victims and those who care for them. Detailing the daily realities and overwhelming responsibilities of caregiving, Comer sheds intensive light on this national health crisis, using her personal experiences—the mistakes and the breakthroughs—to put a face to a misunderstood disease, while revealing the facts everyone needs to know. 
  Pragmatic and relentless, Meryl has dedicated herself to fighting Alzheimer’s and raising public awareness. “Nothing I do is really about me; it’s all about making sure no one ends up like me,” she writes. Deeply personal and illuminating, Slow Dancing With a Stranger offers insight and guidance for navigating Alzheimer’s challenges. It is also an urgent call to action for intensive research and a warning that we must prepare for the future, instead of being controlled by a disease and a healthcare system unable to fight it.

  Foreword by Dr Andy Daly-Smith.
  We already know that increased physical activity and a reduction in the sedentary time spent sitting at desks have wide-ranging benefits (including to brain function), so what if there were also evidence that using movement in the learning process improves outcomes for children? What if we could then map out ways to support teachers in adapting their practice to make this a reality?
  In How to Move & Learn Bryn Llewellyn, Ian Holmes and Richard Allman do just that - sharing the latest research from around the world and providing teachers with the means and motivation to identify opportunities to integrate movement purposefully into the teaching and learning process.
  The links between health and education are paramount, and this book explores these connections and presents a wealth of ideas, activities and resources to help teachers unlock the potential of the school and outdoor environments for learning across all curriculum subjects.
  Suitable for all primary school teachers and leaders.

  What if it were possible for you to make structural changes to your own brain so it's healthier and less prone to depression, anxiety, grief, worry, and other issues that make you unhappy and keep you stuck?
  
  In this neuroscience-based, faith-infused, and immensely practical guide, Dr. W. Lee Warren, a practicing neurosurgeon, trauma survivor, and award-winning writer, reveals how to take control of your own mental, emotional, and physical healing by reordering your mind to change your brain-resulting in a radically transformed life that is healthier, happier, and more hopeful.
  
  
  Since the development of functional brain imaging in the early 2000's, we now know that thoughts can direct structural changes in the brain as or more effectively than medicines or surgery and can do so more quickly. That means, whether we know it or not, we're all brain surgeons.
  
  The Life-Changing Art of Self-Brain Surgery will help you:
  
  - learn and master several types of "self-brain surgery" operations to move from floundering to flourishing
  - heal from trauma, tragedy, and other types of hardship
  - overcome anxiety, depression, loneliness and other emotional and mental health struggles
  - conquer limiting or negative thinking
  - break old habits and create new ones
  - build resilience and wellbeing
  - become an empowered, hopeful person no matter what you're facing
  With the skill of a surgeon, the wounds of a trauma-survivor, the lessons of a scientist, and a hard-won faith that we are wired for happiness here on earth and not just in the hereafter, Dr. Warren walks readers into nothing less than a new way of life.
