  This book traces the dramatic stories of five of the most influential empires in medieval and late antiquity, exploring how they rose to greatness, maintained control, and ultimately declined or transformed. 
  Begin with The Fall of Rome, the collapse that set the stage for the medieval world. Learn how internal strife, economic decay, and barbarian invasions led to the downfall of one of history’s greatest civilizations, creating a power vacuum that reshaped Europe. 
  Discover The Byzantine Empire, the eastern continuation of Rome, which blended Roman governance, Orthodox Christianity, and Greek culture to become a resilient power for over a thousand years. From Justinian’s legal reforms to the fall of Constantinople, its story is one of cultural brilliance and gradual decline. 
  Explore the fragmented yet enduring structure of The Holy Roman Empire, a complex patchwork of territories that struggled to balance local autonomy with imperial ambition. This section reveals the ongoing conflicts between emperors and popes, as well as the empire's role in shaping central Europe. 
  Witness the unstoppable rise of The Mongol Empire, the largest contiguous land empire in world history. Led by Genghis Khan and his successors, it connected East and West through conquest, terror, and unexpected cultural exchange. 
  Finally, delve into The Rise of the Ottoman Empire, a story of transformation from a frontier beylik into a formidable Islamic empire that would eventually absorb Byzantine lands and challenge Europe for centuries. 
  Together, these five empires showcase the complexity, ambition, and fragility of medieval powers—and how their legacies continue to influence the world today.

  For many women, the lack of knowledge surrounding ADHD's unique presentation in their lives has led to feeling misunderstood, criticized, frustrated, and alone. Female biology is complicated, and the mainstream understanding of ADHD often simplifies a condition that isn't simple.One thing we are quickly learning about ADHD in women is that the role of emotions and emotion dysregulation have been underemphasized in the ADHD criteria. Think about it: If it's hard to control our behavior, it will, by default, be hard to control our emotional responses. And this relationship is amplified for girls, who are more susceptible to anxiety and depression than boys.Allow Me to Interrupt takes a deep dive into the most unjustifiably underrecognized ADHD symptom: emotion dysregulation. In an effort to educate, inspire, and support other women with ADHD, clinical psychologist and writer, Dr. Gilly Kahn, shares other women's and girls' ADHD stories along with her own.As women with ADHD, we are misunderstood, underappreciated, and unidentified. But it isn't too late to interrupt the status quo, correct misperceptions, and describe the very real emotional lives of girls and women with ADHD.

  The Unbiased Self - The...

  A Christian Perspective on Overcoming Cognitive Bias 
   
   
   
  So much human behavior can be explained by two motives: we want to be right, and we want to feel good about ourselves. But the tension between these two motives makes us especially vulnerable to bias—and bias distorts our view of the world and of ourselves and can keep us from doing even what we know is right. 
   
   
   
  In The Unbiased Self, social psychologist Erin Devers lays out what psychology has discovered about bias and selfishness. To truly overcome cognitive bias, we need a vision of what an unbiased self could look like, stemming from a solid sense of identity—an identity available in Christian faith. Devers explains how a Christian concept of the self can provide the combination of humility with self-confidence that enables unbiased thinking. Using current research and illuminating stories, this book describes how "fast" and "slow" thinking work together in everyday life; 
  diagnoses when we're most vulnerable to distorted thinking; 
  considers how regarding every person as a child of God counteracts implicit bias; reveals psychological insights into spiritual formation; and recommends practices for slowing our thinking to seek God's wisdom about our ourselves and others.

  What if your love story ended not in romance—but in murder? 
  The Kreutzer Sonata is Leo Tolstoy’s explosive confession of a man undone by love. On a quiet train ride, a fellow passenger shares the dark tale of his marriage—one that spiraled from desire into mistrust, jealousy, and eventually, an unthinkable crime. 
  In this modern translation, Tolstoy’s intense meditation on passion, marriage, and morality is presented with emotional depth and gripping clarity. A powerful short novel that holds nothing back. 
  What You’ll Hear in This Adaptation: 
  - A deeply personal, psychological descent into obsessive jealousy and regret 
  - A bold critique of love, marriage, and sexual hypocrisy 
  - A modern, emotionally intense rendition of Tolstoy’s rawest novella 
  - A tale of moral struggle that asks: Can love survive truth? 
  Short in length but epic in its emotional and ethical impact, The Kreutzer Sonata will challenge what you think you know about love.
