Beschreibung

"Gut Health" explores the groundbreaking connection between your gut microbiome and mental well-being, particularly concerning addiction and recovery. It reveals how the gut-brain axis, a two-way communication system, profoundly affects mood, cravings, and cognitive functions. Intriguingly, many neurotransmitters, crucial for mental health, are produced in the gut, highlighting how imbalances can contribute to issues like anxiety, depression, and even substance dependence.

This book begins by laying the groundwork, explaining the microbiome's composition and the intricacies of the gut-brain axis in simple terms. It then builds a case for how a healthy gut is essential for optimal brain function, especially when dealing with addiction and mental health challenges. Readers will discover how dietary and lifestyle adjustments can positively impact the gut microbiome, improving mental and behavioral outcomes.

The book progresses systematically, starting with gut health basics, moving into connections with mental health disorders, and finally focusing on addiction's influence on cravings and relapse. What sets this book apart is its accessible, evidence-based approach. It avoids technical jargon, offering practical strategies and interventions supported by scientific studies on probiotics, prebiotics, and dietary changes. By drawing connections to fields like nutrition and neuroscience, "Gut Health" provides a holistic, actionable roadmap for improving your gut health and, consequently, your mental well-being.

A Small Place

Jamaica Kincaid

A brilliant look at colonialism and its effects in Antigua—by the author of Annie John 
 
 
 
"If you go to Antigua as a tourist, this is what you will see. If you come by aeroplane, you will land at the V. C. Bird International Airport. Vere Cornwall (V. C.) Bird is the Prime Minister of Antigua. You may be the sort of tourist who would wonder why a Prime Minister would want an airport named after him—why not a school, why not a hospital, why not some great public monument. You are a tourist and you have not yet seen . . ." 
 
 
 
So begins Jamaica Kincaid's expansive essay, which shows us what we have not yet seen of the ten-by-twelve-mile island in the British West Indies where she grew up. 
 
 
 
Lyrical, sardonic, and forthright by turns, in a Swiftian mode, A Small Place cannot help but amplify our vision of one small place and all that it signifies.

Rediscovering Scripture's Vision...

Lucy Peppiatt, Scot McKnight

IVP Readers' Choice Award 
 
 
 
Does God call women to serve as equal partners in marriage and as leaders in the church? 
 
 
 
The answer to this straightforward question is deeply contested. Into the fray, Lucy Peppiatt offers her work on interpretation of the Bible and Christian practice. With careful exegetical work, Peppiatt considers relevant passages in Ephesians, Colossians, 1 Peter, 1 Timothy, and 1 Corinthians. There she finds a story of God releasing women alongside men into all forms of ministry, leadership, work, and service on the basis of character and gifting, rather than biological sex. 
 
 
 
Those who see the overturning of male-dominated hierarchy in the Scriptures, she argues, are truly rediscovering an ancient message—a message distorted by those who assumed that a patriarchal world, which they sometimes saw reflected in the Bible, was the one God had ordained.

Just Following Orders -...

Emilie A. Caspar

How can obedience and carrying out orders lead to horrific acts such as the Holocaust or the genocides in Rwanda, Cambodia, or Bosnia? For the most part, it is a mystery why obeying instructions from an authority can convince people to kill other human beings, sometimes without hesitation and with incredible cruelty. Combining social and cognitive neuroscience with real-life accounts from genocide perpetrators, this book sheds light on the process through which obedience influences cognition and behavior. Emilie Caspar, a leading expert in the field, translates this neuroscientific approach into a clear, uncomplicated explanation, even for those with no background in psychology or neuroscience. By better understanding humanity's propensity for direct orders to short-circuit our own independent decision-making, we can edge closer to effective prevention processes.

Martin King

"Martin King tells the human side of the story of the Battle of the Bulge better than anyone." 
Commander Jeffrey Barta, US Navy (retired) 
 
"I have walked the battlefields with Martin King, who has traversed them countless times with veterans of the Bulge. No one knows this story like Martin, and no one can tell it quite the way he does." 
Rick Beyer, New York Times bestselling author of The Ghost Army of World War II 
 
The vortex of a tornado is a vacuum, and that is where we were, in the centre of a storm of armour and artillery pushing forward into the Ardennes. 
- John Hillard Dunn, 106th Division, US Army 
 
The Battle of the Bulge was the largest land engagement of World War II. The German counter-attack, spearheaded by three Panzer armies, found the Allies unprepared and ill-equipped. As the fighting raged across the frosty forests of the Ardennes, it was left to a few untested US Infantry divisions to hold the Allied lines. Written by one of the world's leading experts on the subject, this account provides an essential introduction to the events of winter 1944-5 and to the many soldiers who risked their lives in defence of freedom. 
 
Drawing on personal interviews, extensive research, and an unparalleled knowledge of the region, Martin King explores one of the most important battles of World War II.
