  Aftershock - How Past Events...

  You may be at a point in your life where you realize that you have been edgy, a bit depressed, feeling unsettled. Yet everything in your life seems to be okay. You look for a cause, but you just can't put your finger on it. Perhaps you should examine your recent past—six months ago, a year ago—and ask yourself, "What did I go through that was stressful at the time, yet I was able to deal with by suppressing my stress until that situation was over?" 
   
   
   
  "Aftershock" is a term coined by clinical psychologist Dr. Geri-Lynn Utter, who came to recognize this largely ignored scenario in many of her patients. As a subclinical level of the more familiar post-traumatic stress disorder, "aftershock" may underlie your present emotional stress, a delayed emotional response that affects many of us after common, yet big deal, life events such as miscarriage, moving to a new city, divorce, or, for some people, the Covid-19 pandemic that has rocked much of the world. 
   
   
   
  The most urgent raison d'etre of Aftershock is to enlighten listeners to the very presence of this psychological trauma—what it is and what causes it, how to recognize the symptoms, and how to heal when life's stressors keep you in the center of the aftershock of a storm.

  The true story of the life journey of a combat fighter pilot and astronaut. An adventure that illuminates a path toward understanding the meaning of life and our place in the universe. 
  Humanity faces an unprecedented crisis that threatens all life on Earth. Desert Storm fighter pilot and NASA astronaut Ron Garan addresses this head-on in Floating in Darkness: A Journey of Evolution, the follow-up to his critically acclaimed first book, The Orbital Perspective: Lessons in Seeing the Big Picture from a Journey of 71 Million Miles. 
  Ron takes us on an extraordinary journey through outer space and inner space. He explores the dancing, intersecting orbits of religion, spirituality, and science while grappling with his own role in the violence of combat and the effects of war on all aspects of human life. We witness Ron struggling with mortality while also basking in the sheer wonder and beauty of our world and beyond. 
  From this perspective, Ron maps out a viable path forward--to solve our crisis, we need a giant leap in humanity's evolutionary process. We must transcend individual and collective ego and embrace the true nature of our interdependence with this fragile planet and all life within its biosphere. Ron shows us how to discover our purpose, detoxify our divisive culture, and become a "white blood cell" in a growing immune response to heal our world. 
  Floating in Darkness is a blueprint to build a restorative and positive future for all.

  Rome's Greatest Generals -...

  The rise of the Roman general was a gradual yet transformative process that shaped the very foundation of Rome’s military might. In the early days of the Roman Republic, military leadership was closely intertwined with social status and political influence. Unlike later periods where generals held almost absolute power, early Roman commanders were often aristocrats or elected officials whose primary duties lay not only in warfare but also in governance and civil administration. 
  One of the pivotal aspects that shaped the rise of the Roman general was the evolution of military traditions. Initially, Rome’s military structure was heavily influenced by the Etruscans and other neighboring cultures. Early Roman armies were comprised of citizen-soldiers who fought primarily to protect their homeland rather than for conquest. Generals were typically chosen from the patrician class, and their leadership was seen as both a duty and an honor. As Rome expanded, the need for a more organized and strategic military became apparent, leading to the emergence of commanders who were not just noblemen but skilled tacticians. 
  The social and political influences on the role of the general were significant. During the Republic, the Senate played a crucial role in appointing generals, often selecting consuls or appointed military tribunes. These leaders were expected to exemplify Roman virtues such as bravery, discipline, and piety. The successes of early generals not only brought personal glory but also bolstered their political careers. Victorious commanders could parlay their military achievements into political power, as evidenced by figures like Scipio Africanus, who leveraged his triumphs against Carthage to gain influence within the Senate.
