  The Pandemic May Have Delayed Your Toddler, but They Will Not Be Defeated 
  This compassionate, science-based guide offers hope and practical strategies for parents of children whose critical developmental years (ages 2–4) were impacted by COVID-19 isolation. 
  Written by a child development expert, it explains how pandemic conditions disrupted normal social, emotional, and communication milestones and provides a comprehensive roadmap for helping children recover and thrive. 
  Rather than focusing on what was lost, Delayed, Not Defeated empowers parents with targeted approaches for supporting development across key domains: 
  ●      building social skills through structured playdates and peer interactions 
  ●      developing emotional regulation strategies for children with big feelings 
  ●      creating language-rich environments to boost communication skills 
  ●      using play as a powerful therapeutic tool 
  ●      managing screen time thoughtfully 
  ●      preparing children for successful school transitions 
  Each chapter combines the latest research with practical, easy-to-implement strategies that work in real family life. Special considerations address specific challenges, including sensory sensitivities, multilingual development, sibling dynamics, and when to seek professional support. 
  The book's central message is one of hope: What pandemic toddlers experienced was a developmental delay, not a developmental destiny. 
  With the loving guidance and evidence-based strategies provided in this book, children will do more than catch up—they'll develop unique strengths from navigating these extraordinary early experiences.

  Ancient Mythologies invites readers into the epic tales, divine dramas, and timeless wisdom of three powerful ancient traditions. This 3-in-1 collection explores the fascinating mythological worlds of Egyptian Mythology, The Greek Pantheon, and The Gods of the Nile—offering a rich tapestry of creation stories, epic battles, moral lessons, and supernatural beings that have shaped cultures for thousands of years. 
  In Egyptian Mythology, readers will encounter gods who ruled over life and death, the afterlife, and the forces of nature. From Ra the sun god to Osiris, Isis, and Anubis, these myths reveal how the ancient Egyptians understood the cosmos, kingship, and the journey of the soul. The Greek Pantheon then brings to life the iconic gods and heroes of Olympus—Zeus, Athena, Hades, and more—whose rivalries, romances, and feats continue to influence literature, psychology, and popular culture to this day. 
  Lastly, The Gods of the Nile offers a closer look at the regional deities of ancient Egypt and the spiritual significance of the Nile River itself. These myths emphasize the connection between nature and divinity, the cyclical rhythm of life, and the sacred role of water in sustaining civilization. Together, these three volumes weave a spellbinding journey through the beliefs, stories, and legacies of ancient peoples who sought to explain the mysteries of the universe through myth.

  MacArthur Reconsidered - General...

  James Ellman

  One of America's most controversial generals, Douglas MacArthur's rise through the US Army's ranks was meteoric. However, he did not lead large formations of men in combat until he assumed command of forces in the Philippines in 1941. When war commenced with the bombing of Pearl Harbor, MacArthur's performance on the battlefield was a failure: he underestimated the Japanese, and his poorly trained forces were outmaneuvered and outfought by a much smaller invading force. 
   
   
   
  In his subsequent role as America's shogun in Tokyo, MacArthur was again surprised by an enemy he underestimated. The Korean War yielded his greatest victory, at Inchon, but also his greatest defeat, along the Yalu River. Unwilling to accept anything but complete victory, he openly defied President Truman: MacArthur fatally undermined chances for an early peace and attempted to widen a conflict which threatened to become a third world war. Raging against his subsequent firing, he only truly faded away after he was publicly criticized by a panoply of America's greatest WWII generals. 
   
   
   
  Today, MacArthur still polarizes. Many biographies agree he was a great and patriotic leader marred by a few failures. James Ellman argues the opposite: MacArthur was a lackluster battlefield commander who suffered stunning defeats while undermining the command structure of our military.
