Summary

"Old Health Regimens" masterfully bridges ancient wellness wisdom with modern scientific understanding, exploring how historical health practices from 500 BCE to 500 CE remain relevant in today's world. The book systematically examines three fundamental aspects of traditional health maintenance: classical exercise routines, time-tested dietary frameworks, and the scientific principles that validate these ancient approaches.

 
Through careful analysis of archaeological evidence, preserved medical texts, and military documents, the book reveals how civilizations from Greek and Roman to Asian cultures developed sophisticated systems for maintaining physical wellness. The work presents fascinating insights into Greek gymnasium protocols and Roman military training, demonstrating how these ancient fitness systems align with contemporary exercise science.

 
Particularly intriguing is the book's examination of traditional Mediterranean and Asian dietary patterns, showing how these historical eating habits mirror modern nutritional recommendations. Each chapter builds upon this foundation, moving from practical exercise methodologies to comprehensive dietary frameworks, before culminating in scientific validation of these time-tested practices.

 
What sets this book apart is its unique interdisciplinary approach, combining archaeological findings with current clinical research to create a practical guide for modern readers. Rather than simply cataloging historical practices, it provides adaptable protocols that readers can incorporate into their contemporary fitness routines. This bridge between ancient wisdom and modern science offers health professionals, fitness enthusiasts, and history buffs a fresh perspective on wellness, supported by both historical documentation and current scientific understanding.

Reform and Rupture

Anonymous

This third book traces how the Ottoman Empire tried to reinvent itself—and why reinvention was not enough. Beginning with reformers who believed a modern army and a rule-bound bureaucracy could save the state, it follows the Tanzimat project, the growth of new schools and publics, and the arrival of steam, telegraph, and rail. These changes produced opportunity and conflict at once, strengthening central authority while sharpening questions of citizenship, language, and belonging. As Balkan nationalisms and Great Power rivalry escalated, constitutional experiments collided with authoritarian security politics, culminating in the Young Turk era and the empire’s descent into near-continuous war. Moving through the Arab provinces, the Balkan crucible, and the catastrophic pressures of World War I, the book shows how governance, identity, and survival became inseparable—until occupation and resistance remade sovereignty itself. The story ends in 1922–1923 with the abolition of the sultanate and the emergence of a new political order, revealing how modern state-building grew out of imperial crisis rather than replacing it cleanly.

Black Catholics on the Road to...

Michael R. Heinlein, Archbishop...

The Church in the United States is greatly blessed by the contributions of Black Catholics and the legacy of holiness of so many men and women of color. These men and women lived lives that are worthy of our study and emulation. 
 
 
 
In Black Catholics on the Road to Sainthood, Michael R. Heinlein provides the first book to explore the lives of the six Black Catholics from the United States whose causes are under formal consideration by the Catholic Church for canonization. Including biographies and personal reflections from diverse contributors, this book shows how these six men and women provide a model of holiness for all Catholics and people of good will. Venerable Pierre Toussaint, Venerable Henriette Delille, Venerable Father Augustus Tolton, Servant of God Mother Mary Lange, Servant of God Julia Greeley, and Servant of God Sister Thea Bowman are sources of inspiration for us all. 
 
 
 
As we continue to pray for the advancement of their causes for canonization, all Catholics of every race can learn a great deal from these holy men and women. By their stories of faith and virtue, they show us how to respond to the call to holiness, bringing healing, reconciliation, and peace to our wounded nation and world.
