Summary

Defense Contracts investigates the global defense industry, exploring whether it's driven by genuine security needs or by economic and political ambitions. This sector is one of the most influential and opaque, with government contracts fueling its operations. The book unveils how geopolitical events shape the demand for military goods, directly impacting the industry's growth. Did you know that the pursuit of profit and strategic advantage can sometimes overshadow genuine security needs, leading to questionable spending and heightened international tensions?

 
The book dissects the complex web of government contracts, profiles major defense corporations, and analyzes the impact of geopolitics. It begins by introducing the defense industry's principles and historical evolution, then moves into an analysis of government contracting processes. Readers will find detailed case studies of leading defense corporations, followed by an exploration of geopolitical flashpoints and global trends that influence defense spending.

 
Understanding the dynamics of arms trade and defense spending is critical for anyone interested in global security and political economy. The book's unique value lies in its data-driven perspective, moving beyond simplistic narratives to reveal the underlying economic and political imperatives shaping the industry. By drawing connections between political science, economics, and international relations, Defense Contracts provides a holistic view of the forces at play, making it a valuable resource for students, scholars, policymakers, and anyone seeking a deeper understanding of this critical sector.

Worship and Awe in Christian...

Joshua J. Knabb

Mental health resources increasingly focus on the self as the antidote to psychological suffering, offering strategies for prioritizing self-care and self-esteem. Yet as people focus more on the self, their suffering may actually worsen, as evidenced by the prevalence of mental health disorders today. According to Christian clinical psychologist Joshua Knabb, when people focus less on the self and more on God, their mental and spiritual health may improve. 
 
Combining up-to-date psychological research with theological reflection, this book helps readers better understand the role that awe, pursued through the act of worship, plays in optimal psychological and spiritual functioning. Knabb explains that at its core, Christian mental and spiritual health involves worshipful awe of God, which can be intentionally cultivated throughout the day. The book also includes practices for readers to try out and use in clinical contexts. 
 
Worship and Awe in Christian Psychology will benefit students in Christian counseling and psychology programs, mental health practitioners, and others who want to improve their mental and spiritual health from a Christian perspective.
