  Treat trauma holistically with the combined applications of yoga and polyvagal theory. 
   
   
   
  This book focuses on the intersection of polyvagal theory, yoga, and psychotherapy by weaving together the wisdom tradition of yoga with neuroscience, attachment theory, somatic psychology, and traumatology. The application of polyvagal theory allows practitioners to compassionately support growth by enhancing the health of the autonomic nervous system, while therapeutic yoga allows one to attend to the interrelationships between mind, emotions, physiology, and behavior. 
   
   
   
  Applied polyvagal theory in yoga provides conscious breathing, vagal toning, mindful movement, and meditation practices that aid in rewiring the nervous system. Listeners will discover how to help both clients and themselves cultivate a felt sense of ease during times of safety; enhance their capacity to handle challenges with equanimity; and reclaim their ability to recover from stress swiftly and efficiently. Applied Polyvagal Theory in Yoga offers practitioners a new and effective way to support clients who are stuck in a trauma response mode.

  The Social Genome - The New...

  A pioneering scientist presents a mind-expanding account of the sociogenomics revolution, which promises to upend everything we know about human development. 
   
   
   
  Sociogenomics brings together advances in molecular genetics and traditional social and behavioral science. The key tool is the polygenic index, which allows us to analyze DNA to measure a child's genetic potential. Today, we can estimate a child's adult height, how far they will go in school, and their weight as an adult—all from a cheek swab, finger prick, or vial of saliva. Dalton Conley and other researchers are using this new science to shed light on the ways in which genes shape our world, influencing how each person both creates and responds to the environment around them. Conley reveals a world where children's DNA influences the nurture they extract from their parents; the genes of our schoolmates affect our likelihood of smoking as much as our own DNA does; and spouses' genes influence each other's moods and behaviors. 
   
   
   
  The Social Genome presents a nuanced, powerful perspective on individual potential and social dynamics and raises critical ethical questions about how we will navigate a future where we have access to far more genetic information than ever before.

  This book explores the heart of Rome’s power—its military machine and the brilliant minds who commanded it. The first section introduces readers to the Roman legions, the backbone of the Republic and Empire. With unmatched discipline, innovative tactics, and superior organization, these forces shaped the ancient world. You’ll learn how the Roman military was structured, how soldiers trained, and what daily life was like in a marching camp. From basic formations to advanced siege techniques, this section unveils the machinery of conquest that forged a global empire. 
  The second section profiles Rome’s greatest military leaders, from Scipio Africanus and Julius Caesar to Trajan and Constantine. Each general brought unique strategies and personal ambition to the battlefield, expanding Rome’s reach while influencing its political destiny. Their stories highlight decisive battles, tactical innovations, and leadership styles that not only won wars but also inspired loyalty—or sparked civil strife. This segment brings to life the human side of warfare, where courage, cunning, and power struggles played out on both foreign fields and Rome’s own streets. 
  The final part of the book shifts focus to Rome’s many enemies—from Carthaginian generals like Hannibal to the Germanic and Parthian tribes who challenged Rome’s dominance. Readers will explore how Rome adapted to new threats, formed uneasy alliances, and learned from defeat. The book covers both the glory of expansion and the resilience required to hold an empire together. Warfare and Generals is a gripping journey into the brutal, brilliant, and complex world of Roman military history—one that continues to captivate military minds and history lovers alike.

  I wish I could put this book into the hands of every man of retirement age. Buy two and give one away. - Erwin Lutzer 
  One of the things I learned in the NFL is that games are won or lost in the fourth quarter. How you finish the game typically determines the outcome. - Rick Nuzum 
  The Bible does not say anything about retirement, but it says everything about rehirement. Be a substitute teacher for your grandchildren - Ron Blue 
  Many Christian men have followed the American dream of retirement-moving to a warm climate, seeking comfort, and enjoying their golden years in leisure. But too often, the dream fades when health declines, and they return home to find distant relationships with their children and grandchildren. The years meant for rest and enjoyment can become years of regret. 
  In Helping Men Finish Well at Any Age, Dr. Duke Heller challenges men to redefine their retirement years with a purpose that aligns with God's calling. Through biblical wisdom, practical advice, and personal experience from over 60 years of marriage, Duke creates a roadmap to finishing life well-not in isolation, but in meaningful connection with family, faith, and impact. 
  Let this book guide you to a fulfilling and God-honoring finish as you prepare for the moment you hear, "Well done, good and faithful servant." 
  Invest your life in the people who will be sitting in the front row of your funeral. God cares how you finish! 
  Dr. Duke Heller is a retired dentist, devoted father, grandfather, and great-grandfather committed to the biblical principles of "finishing well." The author of two previous books draws on decades of marriage and personal experience to guide men seeking to restore and strengthen relationships with their children and grandchildren in retirement.
