  Depression, also known as major depressive disorder, is a common and serious medical illness that negatively affects how a person feels, thinks, and acts. It is characterized by persistent feelings of sadness and a loss of interest in activities once enjoyed. Depression can lead to various emotional and physical problems and can decrease a person’s ability to function at work and at home. 
    
  Symptoms of depression can be emotional, physical, or cognitive. Emotionally, individuals may experience persistent sadness, anxiety, or a feeling of emptiness. They might also feel hopeless, pessimistic, irritable, guilty, worthless, or helpless. Physically, depression can lead to decreased energy or fatigue, changes in appetite or weight, sleep disturbances, and unexplained aches or pains. Cognitively, those affected may have difficulty concentrating, remembering things, or making decisions. In severe cases, they may have thoughts of death or suicide or even attempt suicide. 
    
  The causes of depression are complex and involve a combination of genetic, biological, environmental, and psychological factors. A family history of depression can increase one's risk, as can chemical imbalances in the brain. Stressful life events such as the death of a loved one, divorce, financial problems, or job loss can also trigger depression. Additionally, negative thinking patterns and low self-esteem can contribute to the development of the disorder.

  At his own expense, he self-published Thirty Problems Concerning Creation (De Creatione Problemata 30) from his home. This work aimed to restore the classical doctrine of creation and to address intricate philosophical and theological questions related to the creation of the world and faith. The present edition is the first translation of the Latin edition that was published in 1635, nearly 400 years ago. The thirty problems explore various questions, including the existence of a beginning of the world, the nature of the raw material, the origin of Moses' knowledge of creation, the universality of this knowledge, the duration of the world's creation, the existence of other worlds before ours, the direct emanation from God, the number of elements necessary for creation, the creation of souls and bodies, the creation of Paradise and Hell, the existence of Purgatory, the creation of demons and angels, the roundness of the sky, the final cause of the world's creation, and the alterability of the world if it is eternal. These problems invite deep reflections on the nature of existence and faith.

  The Eastern Han Dynasty: A History of China, PART ONE takes you on an unforgettable journey through one of China's most transformative eras. Once fractured by war, the Han Empire finds hope in Liu Xiu—a noble who rises through chaos to become Emperor Guangwu of Han. But claiming the throne is only the beginning. To rebuild an empire torn apart, he must outmaneuver rivals, crush rebellions, and restore order. 
  From the fall of the Chimei Army to the eruption of the Three Rebellions, Liu Xiu's reign is marked by endless trials. Allies become threats, and loyalty is tested—especially for Wei Xiao, a trusted officer with dangerous ambitions. Meanwhile, the empire expands into Longyou and sets its sights on resource-rich Shu, where political intrigue runs deep. 
  Military legends like General Ma Yuan rise, shaping China's future with brilliant campaigns. As peace returns, loyal ministers help rebuild the government. But power shifts within the court, and when the crown prince unexpectedly steps down, the influential Yin Family begins to dominate the throne's inner circle. 
  A new era begins with Emperor Ming, who faces his own battles—reforms, alliances, and unrest. Yet Han is no longer limited by borders. Ban Chao’s bold expeditions to the Western Regions spark a wave of imperial ambition, paving the way for the rise of a new conqueror who will take Han’s influence farther than ever before. 
  This is not just a chronicle of events—it's a sweeping epic of ambition, war, strategy, and legacy. If you’re drawn to tales of empire-building, battlefield brilliance, and court intrigue, The Eastern Han Dynasty: Part One is a journey you won’t want to miss.

  "Snapshots of truth . . . Blatty drew the portraits of veterans with love and honesty . . . fearless, furious, broken, hopeless, hopeful, undeterred as forces of nature. It's so easy to start romanticizing them, especially the fallen ones, yet Blatty respects them too much to turn these courageous spirits into cardboard heroes. They are humans instead, with all their follies, anger, broken hearts, and broken lives. The power of a great book is that it stays with you long after you finish reading. It's been ten years since Russians occupied my hometown. It's two years since my whole country turned into a war zone . . . in the fog of the war, these snapshots of truth are as rare as beams of light." —Tetyana Strelchenko, director of America House, Kyiv, UkraineLike many post-9/11 combat veterans, JT Blatty struggled to regain her sense of purpose in the first years returning home from Afghanistan and Iraq. In 2018, a chance encounter brought her to Ukraine, drawn in by the familiarity of war and those who serve in wars. Over five years, JT captured the oral history and portraits of a tribe of revolutionaries, the Donbas volunteer soldiers. As she embedded with them on the front line in bunkers and forests, and in Kyiv flats, JT's story began to blend with theirs in a universal bond of combat veterans, compelling her to stay as a new war began.

  Megalithic Temples of Malta The:...

  Malta’s history goes back further than many know, which can be attested to by the numerous Neolithic and Bronze Age era megaliths that dot the island of Malta proper as well as the island of Gozo to the north. Naturally, when European archaeologists began unearthing the megaliths of Malta in the 19th century, they did not know what to think, which led to a plethora of theories, many of them quite fantastic. At least 23 of these temples were uncovered, but because the people who built them lacked the knowledge of writing, speculation over who built them and why remained well into the 20th century (Rountree 2003, 26). Some people theorized that the Malta megaliths were built by a race of giants, while others believed that it was the center of a “Mother Earth” cult that later spread through Neolithic Europe.  
  Early archaeologists were also perplexed about the physical origins of the Maltese megalith builders. Because Malta is such an isolated location, the builders had to have migrated there from elsewhere, but debates raged over the location. Equally confusing was when the megaliths were built. Although most legitimate historians believed from an early time that they were Neolithic structures, some argued that they were built much later and influenced by the Minoans and/or the Mycenaeans.  
  Even as some answers have arrived, scholars still debate the purpose of the megaliths. Although there is a near consensus that they served as religious temples, the deities that were worshiped as well as the rituals carried out in the structures remain a mystery and sources of further debate. As such, the ancient monuments remain enigmatic and serve as sources of pride for the modern Maltese people and awe-inspiring to all those who visit them.
