  Words from Servant C. D. Bennett 
  "...if knowledge is one of the main keys to success, and wisdom gives us the ability to apply that knowledge, then this book IS the tool that will give your marriage the best opportunity to last a lifetime." ...Are you looking for a manuscript on marriage? Then look no further, The Apostasy of Marriage offers a potpourri of information about our innate nature on how we are wired, what makes us tick, and how & why we respond the way we do, different types and levels of love, what, why, & how each gender nurtures and feeds from the other, and much much more! 
  How does anyone know if their marriage is truly beyond saving? 
  Marriage is a blessed union, one that most people enter into with the most faithful and loving intentions. However, with the current rate of divorce hovering at around 40 percent, it’s clear that many couples experience significant levels of dissatisfaction and unhappiness with their spouse at some point during their marriage, to the point where ending the marriage becomes a viable option for one or both parties. If your marriage has reached this level of unhappiness, The Apostasy of Marriage is the turning point you’ve been looking for. 
   Designed as a resource and guide for men and women alike, Pastor Bennett’s reflections and summations will help you understand the critical questions and address issues that plague many marriages:  
  ·	What principles did God establish for marriage? 
  ·	What are the boundaries of marriage, and how does crossing these boundaries impact my relationship with my spouse? 
  ·	What are some of the common abuses that occur during a marriage, and can the damage from these abuses be repaired? 
  ·	The danger of “Stacking Chips” in your marriage 
  Even though the light of your marriage under God may have greatly dimmed, The Apostasy of Marriage is the beacon that can help renew your commitment and shared love with your spouse, restoring both hope and healing into your troubled relationship.

  Obesity - The other pandemic of...

  Obesity is becoming one of the preeminent public health concerns, with prevalence increasing throughout the world.
  Covering many aspects of contemporary obesity research, this timely book by some of the leading experts in the field explores issues relating to the biology, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of obesity, including childhood obesity. The work is attuned to the needs of those living with obesity, with a chapter devoted to
  the harm caused by weight stigma and false narratives around lifestyle choices.
  'Obesity, the other pandemic of the 21st century' reviews the available evidence to prove that obesity should be considered not just as a key contributor towards other comorbidities, but as a disease by itself. Importantly, the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on obesity is addressed, which raised the complexity and severity of the obesity and should be a call to action for the prevention and early treatment of this disease. This book has been developed by World Obesity Federation collaborators, and is aimed at healthcare practitioners, academics, policymakers, students, patients living with obesity and all those impacted by the issue.
  The research covered in these pages goes some way towards proving that obesity is quickly becoming 'the other pandemic' of the 21st century. Much like any major pandemic, the consequence of inaction is truly alarming.

  If you’ve ever read a philosophy paper and wondered, “Did they really need that many syllables to say absolutely nothing?”—this book is for you. 
  Sophia Anne Blackwell, the wildly irreverent creator of the Cogito Ergo Nope! series, returns with her most hilariously scathing book yet: a no-holds-barred takedown of philosophy’s greatest (and most obscurantist) offenders. From the ancient Greeks who invented making things harder than they need to be, to French theorists who turned not making sense into a career, Big Words, Small Ideas traces the glorious tradition of intellectual smoke and mirrors with biting wit and actual clarity. 
  In this book, you’ll meet: 
  Plato, who decided the real world was just a sad knockoff of Ideas That Don’t Exist 
  Aristotle, who invented philosophical filing cabinets with seventeen drawers too many 
  Plotinus, who tried to write about the indescribable in several hundred pages 
  Kant, who made thinking about thinking so hard you’d wish you never started 
  Hegel, the man who weaponized run-on sentences 
  Heidegger, who wrote an entire book about Being without explaining what Being means 
  And a whole cast of modern academics who think obscurity = genius 
  With ruthless humor, surprising accuracy, and zero patience for jargon masquerading as depth, Blackwell takes you on a tour through the theater of philosophical absurdity—and dares to ask the forbidden question: What the hell are they actually talking about? 
  Whether you’re a recovering philosophy major, a curious outsider, or just someone who’s tired of pretending to understand Lacan, this book is your guide to 3,000 years of intellectual gaslighting—with jokes.

  Roman Gladiators and the...

  When the Colosseum was built in the late 1st century A.D., the Romans, a people known for their architectural acumen, managed to amaze themselves. Martial, a Roman poet writing during the inauguration of the Colosseum, clearly believed the Colosseum was so grand a monument that it was even greater than the other Wonders of the Ancient World, which had been written about and visited endlessly by the Romans and Greeks in antiquity. Indeed, although the Wonders were wondrous to behold, the Colosseum was a spectacular achievement in architecture, something new and innovative, and therefore an amazing “Wonder” in its own way. 
  Of course, the main events in the Colosseum were gladiator fights. Gladiators are somewhat synonymous with ancient Rome, and even thousands of years after they performed on the sands, when people are asked about Roman culture, many think about and refer to the bloody spectacles of men fighting to the death in the arena. Gladiatorial combat is often regarded as barbaric, and most find it very difficult to comprehend how people could have enjoyed watching something so violent, but nevertheless, the spectacle still intrigues and fascinates people today, whether in movies like Gladiator or television shows about Spartacus. 
  Each match usually pitted one type of gladiator against a different type of gladiator, with each having their own kind of armor, weaponry and fighting style. For example, the retiarius was a gladiator that used a net, dagger and trident as his offensive weapons, while only wearing a protective guard over his left arm for protection. The retiarius would typically fight against the secutor, a gladiator armed with a sword, large shield, helmet and protective covering on his right arm and left leg. Therefore, a retiarius sacrificed armor for quickness in battle, while the secutor did the opposite.
