  Art History Decoded From Cave to...

  Ancient images can feel distant—formal, silent, as if speaking an unknown language. And yet, they were designed to communicate with absolute clarity. 
  Why is the pharaoh always larger? Why do figures appear flat, shown in strict profile? Why do certain symbols repeat with such insistence? Why do temples, tombs, and palaces take the shapes they do? 
  These aren't accidents. They're choices—visual strategies born from what these cultures valued most: power, order, memory, the divine. 
  This book turns ancient art into a readable language. 
  You'll learn simple, practical tools to "read" any artwork—by noticing patterns like hierarchy, repetition, color, and framing, and by connecting those choices to the stories they were meant to tell. Each work becomes a narrative: of kings who needed to appear eternal, of gods who demanded visibility, of societies that encoded their entire worldview into stone and pigment. 
  The journey is chronological, from prehistoric caves to the Bronze Age worlds of Egypt, Mesopotamia, Crete, and Mycenae. Every chapter focuses on key works and monuments, training your eye through clear explanations and a repeatable method. 
  By the end of this volume, you won't have memorized dates and names. You'll have acquired a method—a way of looking that transforms any image, ancient or modern, into a text you can read. 
  This skill matters more than ever. In a world flooded with images—from social media to advertising and news—learning ancient visual codes sharpens how we decode what we see today.

  This textbook updates the conversation about models of psychology and faith integration, helping students understand the range of options for Christian engagement. Drawing from themes developed in Paul Moes's well-received Exploring Psychology and Christian Faith (coauthored with Donald J. Tellinghuisen), Integrating Psychology and Faith develops a set of worldview dimensions that serve to organize a variety of psychology-faith integration models. 
   
  Paul Moes and Blake Riek set forth principles and themes and establish historical context to help students explore where different views fit on a continuum of approaches to integration and understand the perspectives of other Christians in the field of psychology. In this way, students come to better understand the organizing principles for various views about psychology that they encounter. The book also shows how theological traditions and positions shape views on natural science, social science, and psychology.

  Michelle Mays was born into an abusive family in the Midwest. As she and her siblings cling to survival, the balance of family ties is weighed against alcoholism, drug abuse, abandonment, and despair. Hope dawns in the form of foster care, only to be deferred by multiple placements and a system not equipped to support the children it's meant to protect.Through powerful vignettes of a life disjointed, Mays's story is a journey of hope that is echoed in the experiences of thousands of children in the court and foster care systems today.Dumpster Doll is brave not because it is unique, but because it unflinchingly shines a light on family turmoil, flaws in judicial systems, and ultimately, the grit and tenacity that thousands of children exhibit each day just to make it through.

  Timmy Overton of Austin and Jerry Ray James of Odessa were football stars who traded athletics for lives of crime. The original rebels without causes, nihilists with Cadillacs and Elvis hair, the Overton gang and their associates formed a ragtag white trash mafia that bedazzled Austin law enforcement for most of the 1960s. Tied into a loose network of crooked lawyers, pimps, and used car dealers who became known as the "traveling criminals," they burglarized banks and ran smuggling and prostitution rings all over Texas. Author Jesse Sublett presents a detailed account of these Austin miscreants, who rose to folk hero status despite their violent criminal acts.
