  In 2015, after a historic run-off election, Megan Barry became the first female mayor of Nashville, Tennessee. Quickly becoming one of the most popular progressive politicians in the Bible Belt, Barry was a beloved leader with a sky-high approval rating and an unshakable hope for a new, forward-thinking, modern South. For her first few years in office, she was one of the most important voices at the table—until she became the most notorious. 
   
   
   
  Barry loved three things the most in the world—her son, Max, her husband, Bruce, and her job as the mayor of Nashville . . . until she lost two of them. Her monumental lapse in judgment led to a painful public reckoning and the fall of her rising political career. A battle with substance-use disorder robbed her of her only child. Grief, pride, shame, longing, and resentment nearly destroyed her marriage. Barry has to start again, the right way, with humility, hope, and a wicked sense of humor. 
   
   
   
  It's What You Do Next is a deeply honest book about womanhood at home, in politics, and in the spaces between.  Warm, funny, and uncompromisingly honest, Barry speaks to women as their close friend, not their fearless leader, her true self, not always her best self. She gives listeners permission to come as they are and leave knowing that what matters most, is what happens next.

  Boyne and Culloden: The History...

  The striking saga of the Glorious Revolution is one that continues to fascinate historians around the world today. Some chroniclers have referred to these events as the “Bloodless Revolution,” but other historians say otherwise. The ruthless game of politics that William of Orange and England’s King James II played may have been somewhat bloodless in comparison to history's greatest rebellions, but the rebels, soldiers, and other pawns who lost their lives along the way must not be forgotten. The revolution would also pave the path for a series of bloody wars between England and Scotland, the result of which has left quite a legacy of its own.  
  	Furthermore, it’s important to remember that James did try to return to England, and there would be two more years of war before James II gave up the quest to regain the throne. On July 1, 1690, the famous Battle of the Boyne was fought near the town of Drogheda, about five miles west of Baltray. The combatants were the supporters of King James II and King William III, both claiming to be the lawful sovereigns of England, Scotland, and Ireland. The conflict was part of a broader struggle for the destiny of the British Isles, and though it was not the decisive battle of the war, it is the most famous, the commemoration of which still fans tensions between Protestants and Catholics in Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. In its aftermath, James II would again leave the British Isles, this time for good.  
  	The Jacobites conjure up many images to 21st century Britons, including romantic heroism, the Outlander series, and Bonnie Prince Charlie as the doomed hero of the cause, but Jacobitism was a cause that had far reaching consequences across 18th century Europe. The Jacobites were not only supporters of the exiled Stuart monarchy, but also against the political and religious settlements agreed to across the British Isles.

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. rauma is karma. Karma is trauma. 
   
  This equation changes everything. 
   
  What you call character flaws are conditioned survival patterns. 
  The rage that erupts when coffee spills. 
  The freeze when your boss criticizes. 
  The helplessness you feel when you "cannot act otherwise." 
   
  These are not fate. These are not punishment. These are neural pathways, carved deep, firing in milliseconds. 
   
  Between impulse and action lies a window. Inside that span, freedom lives. 
   
  In this groundbreaking work, physician and philosopher Fritz H. Hemmerich reveals how trauma and karma are two languages for the same deep conditioning, and demonstrates why our deepest patterns can be interrupted using cutting-edge neuroscience and ancient wisdom. Discover the power of laminar breathing that calms your system in seconds, learn why trauma heals more effectively when we keep the benefit for others in view (Karma Burning), and understand how epigenetic changes can dissolve generations of conditioning. Through trainable practices such as vital-belt awareness and praeemption, you will learn to interrupt automatic patterns — anger, withdrawal, collapse, people-pleasing — and replace them with grounded presence. This isn't another self-help book. It's a roadmap to neurological liberation, with practical 2-minute exercises, moving case studies, and scientific precision that guides you from automatic reacting to conscious responding — from surviving to thriving.

  Minds Brains Souls and Gods - A...

  The field of psychology, and especially neuropsychology, can be daunting for Christian students trying to find their way. In the face of surprising new research and radical new theories, it is tempting to limit the integration of Christianity andpsychology to relatively "safe" topics that one can easily differentiate from matters of faith. In Minds, Brains, Souls and Gods, the highly esteemed professor of psychology, Malcolm Jeeves, insists on addressing the difficult questions head-on.
  
  - Do I have a soul?
  
  - How free am I?
  
  - What makes me uniquely human?
  
  - Does my brain have a "God spot"?
  In this hypothetical correspondence with a student, Jeeves argues that we must avoid false choices in the relation between Scripture and science. Christians need not choose between a "God of the gaps" that competes with science, a "neurotheology" that bases our understanding of God on the latest scientific theory, or a scientific reductionism that claims to have explained God away as a mere function of the brain. Students encountering the brave new world of neuroscience need not view such research as a threat to the faith. With the wisdom of a seasoned scholar, Jeeves guides us down the road less-traveled—the way of integration.
