  She told me she hadn't left her apartment in eleven days. The grocery delivery sat inside the front door. She had eaten what she could reach from her bed. Her therapist had called twice; she let it go to voicemail. Then her dog pressed its body against her side—and something shifted. 
  The Invisible Bond is the first book in The Invisible Series by Dr. Patrick Fisher—clinician, researcher, and founder of TheraPetic. Built on original doctoral research at Walden University, this book goes beyond clinical data to capture what it actually feels like to manage anxiety with an emotional support animal by your side. 
  Through in-depth qualitative interviews with adults living with clinically significant anxiety, Dr. Fisher documents the themes that emerged: presence, routine, grounding, connection, and the quiet ways an animal can hold space for a person who is struggling. 
  This book is for clinicians seeking to better serve clients who rely on ESAs. For individuals navigating anxiety with an animal companion. For policymakers making decisions about rights they may not fully understand. And for anyone who has ever been told that needing an animal is a weakness rather than a strategy of survival. 
  The science has not changed. Cortisol still drops. Oxytocin still releases. The autonomic nervous system still responds. This book documents why—and what it means for the future of mental health care. 
  The Invisible Series continues with The Invisible Disability, The Invisible Law, The Invisible Prison, The Invisible Identity, and The Invisible Data.

  “We must think globally, but act locally.” —His Holiness the Dalai LamaSimple and accessible wisdom from His Holiness the Dalai Lama on how we are human, how we are not alone, and how we must help each other.   A global pandemic has revealed to us how the world can be shaken up within a very short period. Such a crisis—experienced by all humans on the earth—has given rise to uncertainty, fear, anxiety, loneliness, and depression. As societies and nations struggle to come to terms with and contain it, economic breakdown, migration, environmental crises, and a dwindling spirit stare us in the face. In this climate, His Holiness the Dalai Lama is calling upon us to be brave—to have the courage to step up to the recognition that we are all part of the same global community. His Holiness reminds us that it takes courage to give up our self-centered sense of individuality; it takes courage to find a sense of oneness with seven billion human beings. Bravery is admitting that we are not alone, and that without community we cannot survive. In Be Brave, His Holiness the Dalai Lama teaches us that practicing compassion and cultivating peace of mind are the paths to inner strength, peace, clarity, and happiness.

  Ancient Libyans and Nubians The:...

  During the several centuries that ancient Egypt stood as one of the greatest, if not the greatest, civilizations of the ancient world, conflicts with its neighbors often played a central role in hieroglyphic texts and art from temples and tombs. The three primary enemies of the Egyptians were the Libyans who occupied the Western Desert and its oases, the so-called Asiatics who lived in the Levant, and finally the Nubians to Egypt’s south. Among the three peoples, the Nubians were the most “Egyptianized” and at times were integral to the development of Egyptian history. Truly, the Nubians were the greatest of all sub-Saharan peoples in pre-modern times and deserve to be studied in their own right, apart from ancient Egyptian history. 
  The Canaanites and Nubians received the most attention as Egypt’s enemies and occasional trading partners, but it was the Libyans–the final third of Egypt’s traditional enemies–who influenced later Egyptian culture most. Unlike the Nubians and Canaanites, the Libyans were nearly always at war with the Egyptians. The reasons for the near constant warfare between the Libyans and Egyptians are difficult to discern, but more than likely stem from the fact that Libya was poor in resources, so the Egyptians had little reason to trade with the Libyans. On the other hand, the Libyans coveted Egypt's material wealth. The result was numerous putative campaigns by the Egyptians into Libya and raids by the Libyans into Egypt. 
  The wars between the Libyans and Egyptians reached a fevered pitch during the New Kingdom when the Libyans organized anti-Egyptian coalitions, and even formed an alliance with the mysterious Sea Peoples. By the Late New Kingdom, Egypt was an armed camp, yet it was ultimately unable to stem the tide of Libyan migration. The Libyans used their numbers to their advantage, eventually conquering Egypt and establishing two dynasties. Their ancestors created another two.

  Bill Gentile did more than just "cover" Nicaragua's Sandinista Revolution and the Contra War. He lived them. First as correspondent for United Press International (UPI) and later as photojournalist for Newsweek magazine, Gentile experienced those historic events from the inside, as the partner of a Nicaraguan woman whose prominent family "adopted" him as one of their own. His memoir takes readers not only to the 1979 revolution, the Contra War in the merciless mountains of Nicaragua and to the deadly streets of El Salvador, but also to the steel mills and backyards of southwestern Pennsylvania where the Italian immigrant community prepared him for those conflicts, and then waited for his return. This book introduces the American public to the victims of U.S. intervention abroad. It is a firsthand, frontline account of the human cost of war. 
  Wait for Me: True Stories of War, Love and Rock & Roll, explores family, self, love, loss and love again - told against a backdrop of adversity and warfare.

  1. Foundations of an Empire: The Rise of the Ottomans, 1299–1606 
  Brief synopsis 
  This volume traces how a small frontier beylik became a world empire. It follows the Ottomans from Osman and Orhan through Mehmed II and Süleyman I, explaining conquests in the Balkans, the fall of Constantinople in 1453, the building of Istanbul, and the creation of powerful institutions like the Janissaries, the timar system, and the millet framework. Alongside battles and treaties, it opens the doors of mosques, courts, workshops, and homes, showing how law, faith, art, and war worked together—right up to the first clear signs of strain around 1606.
