Summary

"Beyond Loss" offers a comprehensive exploration of grief recovery, demonstrating how individuals can adapt and rebuild their lives after experiencing significant loss. The book uniquely integrates insights from neuroscience, psychology, and clinical practice, emphasizing that grief doesn't have to define an individual's future. It highlights the importance of neuroplasticity, the brain's ability to reorganize itself, and emotional resilience, which can be cultivated through specific practices, providing a hopeful perspective on healing.

 
The book presents a clear, progressive understanding of grief recovery. It begins by introducing fundamental concepts related to bereavement and mourning, then explores the neurological underpinnings of grief and the role of neuroplasticity. It delves into practical strategies for building emotional resilience, drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and culminates in a discussion of integrating loss into one's life narrative, finding meaning and purpose.

 
Woven throughout are real-world examples and case studies that illustrate key concepts and therapeutic interventions, making it a valuable resource for both those grieving and professionals in grief counseling.

Dinner on Mars - The...

Lenore Newman, Evan D. G. Fraser

“This culinary cosmic outing is as creative as it is informative.” — STARRED review, Publishers Weekly
		 
From Impossible Burgers to lab-made sushi, two witty, plugged-in food scientists explore leading-edge AgTech for the answer to feeding a settlement on Mars — and nine billion Earthlings too
		 
Feeding a Martian is one of the greatest challenges in the history of agriculture. Will a Red Planet menu involve cheese and ice cream made from vats of fermented yeast? Will medicine cabinets overflow with pharmaceuticals created from engineered barley grown using geothermal energy? Will the protein of choice feature a chicken breast grown in a lab? Weird, wonderful, and sometimes disgusting, figuring out “what’s for dinner on Mars” is far from trivial. If we can figure out how to sustain ourselves on Mars, we will know how to do it on Earth too. In Dinner on Mars, authors Fraser and Newman show how setting the table off-planet will supercharge efforts to produce food sustainably here at home.   
		 
For futurists, sci-fi geeks, tech nuts, business leaders, and anyone interested in the future of food, Dinner on Mars puts sustainability and adaptability on the menu in the face of our climate crisis.

State of the Union 1988

Ronald Reagan

The 1988 State of the Union Address delivered January 25, 1988, extols individual rights, the free market, and the value of work, family, and religion, resulting in “the longest peacetime expansion in history”. Reagan stresses unity and common goals, saying there are no Republicans, no Democrats -- just Americans.
“We’re for limited government…”, free trade, a balanced budget, and the line-item veto. “[C]ontrol of our schools belongs to the States, local communities and, most of all, to the parents and teachers.”
“My friends, some years ago, the Federal Government declared war on poverty, and poverty won.” Our 59 major poverty programs have created a dependency trap that wreaks havoc on the family, the support system most needed to escape poverty.
We support a drug-free America, an end to federal funding of abortion, and “believe Congress should pass our school prayer amendment.”
“A creative, competitive America is the answer to a changing world, not trade wars that would close doors, create greater barriers, and destroy millions of jobs. … Protectionism is destructionism. America's jobs, America's growth, America's future depend on trade -- trade that is free, open, and fair.”
“We must … make adequate, stable defense spending a top goal both this year and in the future.” Our “efforts are to give future generations what we never had -- a future free of nuclear terror. Reduction of strategic offensive arms is one step, SDI another. Our funding request for our Strategic Defense Initiative is less than 2 percent of the total defense budget. SDI funding is money wisely appropriated and money well spent.”
We thank God for “this place called America, this shining city on a hill, this government of, by, and for the people. Thank you, and God bless you.”

The Book of Five Rings

Miyamoto Musashi

The Book of Five Rings is a text on Kenjutsu and the martial arts in general, written by the Japanese swordsman Miyamoto Musashi around 1645. There have been various translations made over the years, and it enjoys an audience considerably broader than only that of martial artists and people across East Asia: For instance, some foreign business leaders find its discussion of conflict and taking the advantage to be relevant to their work in a business context. 
Musashi establishes a "no-nonsense" theme throughout the text. For instance, he repeatedly remarks that technical flourishes are excessive and contrasts worrying about such things with the principle that all technique is simply a method of cutting down one's opponent. He also continually makes the point that the understandings expressed in the book are important for combat on any scale, whether a one-on-one duel or a massive battle.
