  What makes a person hold steadfast in their Faith amid profound trials? Faith Against Evil, Bonhoeffer's Stand in The Shadow of The Third Reich, delves into this compelling question by examining the life and theology of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, a pastor and theologian whose unwavering convictions led him to resist Nazi tyranny at great personal cost. 
  While Bonhoeffer's story of resistance is extraordinary, this study goes beyond mere biography. It explores the theological framework that fortified his resolve, asking whether specific beliefs or contextual factors provided the strength to endure when Faith was put to the ultimate test. By integrating Bonhoeffer's theological writings with the realities of his activism and suffering, this work illuminates how theology can serve as a source of endurance. 
  This study is not simply an addition to the Bonhoeffer scholarship. Its purpose reaches further, offering insights into systematic theology and contributing to a broader understanding of perseverance in Faith. 
  Faith Against Evil, Bonhoeffer's Stand in The Shadow of The Third Reich, invites readers to reflect on the enduring power of Faith under pressure. It provides a foundation for future theological explorations into what sustains believers in the face of adversity. It is a resource for theologians, historians, and anyone seeking to understand the profound interplay between belief and resilience.

  Screen Damage - The Dangers of...

  Michel Desmurget

  All forms of recreational digital consumption—whether on smartphones, tablets, game consoles, or TVs—have skyrocketed in the younger generations. From the age of two, children in the West clock up more than 2.5 hours of screen time a day; by the time they reach thirteen, it's more than seven hours a day. Added up over the first eighteen years of life, this is the equivalent of almost thirty school years, or fifteen years of full-time employment. 
   
   
   
  Most media experts do not seem overly concerned about this situation: children are adaptable, they say, they are "digital natives," their brains have changed and screens make them smarter. But other specialists—including some pediatricians, psychiatrists, teachers, and speech therapists—dispute these claims, and many parents worry about the long-term consequences of their children's intensive exposure to screens. 
   
   
   
  Michel Desmurget, a leading neuroscientist, has carefully weighed up the scientific evidence concerning the impact of the digital activities of our children and adolescents, and his assessment does not make for happy listening: he shows that these activities have significant detrimental consequences in terms of the health, behavior, and intellectual abilities of young people, and strongly affect their academic outcomes.

  If we knew that Coca-Cola was among the deadliest products in our diet, would we continue drinking it in such great quantities? The Coca-Cola Company has gone to extraordinary lengths to make sure we don't find out, as this damning exposé makes patently clear. Marshaling the findings of extensive research and deep investigative reporting, Murray Carpenter describes in Sweet and Deadly the damage Coke does to America's health—and the remarkable campaign of disinformation conducted by the company to keep consumers in the dark. 
   
   
   
  Sugar-sweetened beverages are the single item in the American diet that most contributes to the epidemic of chronic disease—in particular, obesity, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular disease—and Coca-Cola is America's favorite sugar-sweetened beverage, by far. Carpenter details how the Coca-Cola corporation's sophisticated shadow network has masterfully spread disinformation for decades to hide the health risks of its product from consumers—risks disproportionately borne by Black, brown, and low-income communities. Working from a playbook of obfuscation and pseudoscience that has worked well for other harmful products, from tobacco and trans fats to opioids, Coca-Cola has managed to maintain an aura of goodness and happiness. This eye-opening book finally and fully reveals the truth behind that aura.

  A One-Stop Guide to Museum Careers  
  People who love art, are fascinated by archaeology, or are history buffs may have considered the idea of working in a museum.

So You Want to Work in A Museum? helps to demystify museums as institutions and to prepare prospective museum staff to explore the field further. 
  After reading this book, readers will be able to:  
  Understand how non-profit museums are governed, funded, and staffed, and how they define and meet their missions.Explore museum divisions and departments and specific roles within them--not just prominent roles like directors and curators, but also less visible ones like registrars, preparators, development officers, conservators, and more. 
  Consider the contemporary function of museums, and how yesterday's cabinets of curiosity have evolved into today's community catalysts. Examine how the contemporary function of museums has affected the types of positions available and the work museum staff do on a daily basis. 
  Look at the skills required for different types of positions, and how readers aspiring to work in those positions can best prepare themselves to land their dream jobs and be successful in them. 
  Understand the benefits and potential challenges of working in a museum, and 
  Access a wealth of resources that will inspire further study of the field, and outline next steps to pursue a museum career.
