  The story of herring is entwined in the history of commercial fishing. For over two millennia, herring has been commercially caught and its importance to the coastal peoples of Britain cannot be measured. At one point tens of thousands were involved in the catching, processing and sale of herring. They followed the shoals around the coast from Stornoway to Penzance and many towns on Britain's east coast grew rich on the backs of the 'silver darlings'.
  Fishing historian Mike Smylie looks at the effects of herring on the people who caught them, their unique ways of life, the superstitions of the fisher folk, their boats and the communities who lived for the silver darlings.
  With a wealth of illustrations, this fascinating book reveals the little-known history of the herring. And for those who've neglected the silver darlings for lesser fish such as cod and haddock, there are a number of mouth-watering recipes to try.

  Philosophy in Ancient Greece:...

  In virtually all fields of human endeavor, ancient Greece was so much at the forefront of dynamism and innovation that the products of its most brilliant minds remain not only influential but entirely relevant to this day. In the field of medicine, the great physician Hippocrates not only advanced the practical knowledge of human anatomy and caregiving but changed the entire face of the medical profession. The great philosophers of Athens, men like Aristotle, Socrates, and Plato, interrogated themselves with startling complexity about the nature of good and evil, questioned the existence of divinity, advocated intelligent design, and went so far as to argue that all life was composed of infinitesimal particles.  
  	Although the school of philosophy started by Socrates and championed by Plato and Aristotle continues to be the most famous, other schools of thought began to branch, including the Epicureans and Cynics. In the 3rd century B.C., Stoicism arose in response to and under the influence of these older schools, combining many of the best theories from each into a more cohesive whole. With a greater flexibility and more practical application to everyday life, Stoicism quickly became a very popular school of thought, a growth made exponential by its introduction to the Romans.  
  Today, very few have heard of him, but he became a major philosophical and religious figure through the publication of his thoughts, travels, and miracles by Philostratus the Elder (c. 170-247 A.D.), written about a century after Apollonius of Tyana’s death. Philostratus the Elder’s works were based on the works of other writers (Maximus of Aegae, Damis, and Moeragenes), and miracles attributed to Apollonius were often compared to those of Jesus, who lived around the same time.

  "...offers an eclectic menu of treats that serve up a new and fresh look at a genre we rarely connect directly to the demands of the real world, much less plumb for key lessons about leadership." — ARMY Magazine
  
  In the past decade, heroes and villains spawned from the pages of comic books have upended popular culture and revolutionized the entertainment industry. The narratives weave together a multitude of complementary and sometimes competing storylines, spun across decades, generations, and mediums, forming a complex tapestry that simultaneously captures the imagination and captivates the mind. These stories reveal our own vulnerabilities while casting an ideal to which we aspire. They pull at our deepest emotions and push us to the cusp of reality, and bring us back to Earth with a renewed hope of a better tomorrow. They are an endless source of powerful metaphors to help us learn and develop, then be the best versions of ourselves possible.
  
  Through the lens of the superhero genre, each chapter explores contemporary challenges in leadership, team building, and conflict, while emphasizing the role of humanity and human nature in our own world.

  Life is filled with challenges, and navigating its complexities often feels overwhelming. Emotions can surge unpredictably, relationships may strain under pressure, and self-doubt can leave you feeling stuck. For many, these struggles lead to cycles of distress, leaving them wondering how to regain control. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers a path forward—a way to balance emotions, face difficulties, and build a life filled with meaning and purpose. 
  DBT was originally developed by Dr. Marsha Linehan to help individuals struggling with intense emotions and self-destructive behaviors. Over time, it has evolved into a comprehensive therapeutic approach, empowering people to manage their emotions, improve their relationships, and handle life’s challenges with greater resilience. Unlike traditional therapies that focus solely on change, DBT embraces a balanced perspective, combining the acceptance of where you are now with the tools to create meaningful change. This dual focus is at the heart of its transformative power. 
  One of the most significant aspects of DBT is its emphasis on practical skills. These skills are divided into four key areas: mindfulness, emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. Together, they form a toolkit designed to help you stay grounded, manage overwhelming emotions, navigate crises, and foster healthier connections with others. The beauty of DBT lies in its flexibility—you don’t need to master everything at once. Instead, you can start small, incorporating skills that resonate with you and building from there.

  Rewriting the History of the...

  The Black Death, one of the most devastating pandemics in human history, left an indelible mark on the medieval world. From the mid-14th century, this catastrophic event wiped out an estimated one-third of Europe's population, with ramifications extending far beyond the immediate loss of life. Its legacy endures, not only in historical accounts but also in the cultural, social, and economic transformations it triggered. 
    
  The pandemic’s unparalleled scale of mortality created a sense of collective trauma that shaped the mindset of medieval society. Fear, uncertainty, and grief were pervasive, leading to widespread shifts in religious devotion and philosophical thought. For some, the plague strengthened their faith, prompting public acts of penance and increased church attendance. For others, it inspired skepticism about religious authority, paving the way for future reforms and dissent. This dual response reflects the Black Death's role as both a destroyer of tradition and a catalyst for change. 
    
  Economically, the pandemic dramatically altered the medieval labor market. The decimation of the population led to acute labor shortages, forcing landowners to offer better wages and conditions to retain workers. This shift empowered peasants and contributed to the gradual erosion of the feudal system, giving rise to a nascent middle class. The newfound leverage of laborers sowed the seeds of social mobility, challenging the rigid hierarchies that had long defined medieval life.
