  At the heart of a classic garden lies the pursuit of perfection in design. These gardens are more than just places to grow plants—they are carefully planned landscapes where form, function, and beauty coexist seamlessly. Whether influenced by ancient Greek and Roman principles, the elegance of French formal gardens, or the natural beauty of English country estates, classic gardens share a commitment to design that is both purposeful and enduring. They reflect the beauty of nature while also incorporating elements of art, architecture, and human ingenuity. 
  The appeal of classic gardens lies in their timeless quality. Unlike trends in fashion or architecture that may change with the seasons, a well-designed garden can remain relevant for generations. This is because the principles underlying classic design—proportion, symmetry, the careful selection of plants, and the use of natural materials—are universal and have remained consistent over time. Whether you are designing a small urban courtyard or a sprawling estate, the key to creating a classic garden lies in understanding these principles and applying them thoughtfully. 
  In this book, we will explore the fundamental aspects of creating a classic garden. We will delve into the design principles that define these gardens, such as symmetry, balance, and geometry, and look at how these concepts can be adapted to modern spaces. We will also explore the plants that are essential to creating a timeless garden, from the perennials and shrubs that provide structure and beauty to the trees and flowers that add color and fragrance throughout the seasons.

  God Is in the Details (and So Is Thomas Aquinas): How to Weaponize Aristotle for the Church and Still Be Canonized 
  Ever wanted to read 3,000 pages of systematic theology written by a man who thought angel transportation was a valid academic subject? No? Great—this book is for you. 
  This is not a polite introduction to Thomas Aquinas. This is a fully sarcastic, gloriously disrespectful roast of the chubbiest, holiest overachiever in Catholic history—a Dominican friar who took Aristotle’s metaphysics, added Latin, guilt, and divine purpose, and built the intellectual operating system of the Catholic Church. 
  Inside, you’ll find: 
  A breakdown of Aquinas’ Five Ways to Prove God Exists (spoiler: it's always God) 
  An introduction to natural law, also known as “why everything you enjoy is probably a sin” 
  His obsession with angel hierarchies, because theology needed a Pokémon-style ranking system 
  The Summa Theologica, or what happens when you try to explain God using spreadsheet logic and footnote warfare 
  Why Aquinas is still being cited in modern debates about abortion, bioethics, transubstantiation, and leggings 
  From his flaming-stick celibacy defense to the fact that he nearly out-argued Augustine with a smile, Aquinas is the blueprint for theological overachievement—and this book is the spiritual field guide you didn’t know you needed. 
  Perfect for: 
  Recovering theology majors 
  Catholic guilt survivors 
  Philosophy nerds who love a good roast 
  Anyone trying to understand how Aquinas still dominates moral debates despite being very, very dead 
  Come for the metaphysics, stay for the footnote-based moral mic drops. 
  Thomas Aquinas: he came, he theologized, he canonized himself through sheer force of logic.

  Blackjack, also known as twenty-one, is a game loved by many—but often misunderstood. Most players overestimate their skills. They know the rules but rely too much on hunches, selective memory, and even superstitions, like avoiding a “hot” dealer. The truth? The cards don’t care about streaks, and neither do the odds. 
  Another myth? Progressive betting systems are foolproof. Spoiler: they’re not. They might feel satisfying in the short term, but they’ll drain your bankroll over time. Instead, if you’re serious about winning, it’s time to learn card counting—a methodical way to track which cards have been played and which remain in the deck.
