Synopsis

"Summa Theologica," composed by the eminent theologian Thomas Aquinas in the 13th century, stands as a monumental synthesis of Christian theology and philosophy. Written in a systematic and methodical style, this comprehensive work addresses fundamental questions regarding God, morality, and human existence, employing a dialectical approach that combines Aristotelian logic with Christian doctrine. The text is divided into three main parts, meticulously exploring topics such as the nature of God, the moral life, and the sacraments, making it not only an intellectual cornerstone of scholastic thought but also an essential guide for understanding the interplay between faith and reason. Thomas Aquinas, a Dominican friar and philosopher, was profoundly influenced by the theological currents of his era, particularly the reconciliation of faith with the burgeoning philosophy of the ancient Greeks. His extensive education, including studies at the University of Naples and Paris, equipped him with the tools to engage rigorously with philosophical questions, leading him to pen this seminal work. Aquinas's background in both theology and philosophy allowed him to articulate a vision of a unified truth, reconciling competing ideas within Christianity and the surrounding intellectual culture. "Summa Theologica" is invaluable for scholars and lay readers alike, offering insights into the nature of faith, ethics, and the quest for truth. Its timeless appeal lies in its ability to address existential questions that continue to resonate today. Delve into Aquinas's profound reflections that have shaped centuries of thought and remain pivotal in contemporary discussions on theology and philosophy.

On the Canal - The Marines of...

Ore J Marion, Thomas Cuddihy,...

A gripping true story of the WWII Guadalcanal Campaign—told with no-holds-barred honesty and humor by a Marine who was there. In August of 1942, Allied forces led by U.S. Marines came ashore on Guadalcanal, launching the first major land offensive against Imperial Japan. M. Sgt. Ore J. Marion of L Company, 3rd Battalion, 5th Regiment was among them. Here, Marion and other men of L-3-5 share a personal account of their experiences over the course of this grueling and protracted campaign.  The stories contained in these pages are harrowing, profane, heartbreaking, irreverent, and deeply human. As with many personal accounts, some memories recorded here are at odds with the official accounts in Washington’s archives. Rather than presenting a clean and consistent narrative, On the Canal reflects the messy business of warfare and human memory.

Where You'll Find Me - Risk...

Ty Gagne

On February 15, 2015, Kate Matrosova, an avid mountaineer, set off before sunrise for a traverse of the Northern Presidential Range in New Hampshire's White Mountains. Late the following day, rescuers carried her frozen body out of the mountains amid some of the worst weather ever recorded on these deceptively rugged slopes. 
 
 
 
At thirty-two, Matrosova was ultra-fit and healthy and had already summited much larger mountains on several continents. Her gear included a rescue beacon and a satellite phone. Yet, despite their best efforts, more than forty expert search and rescue personnel, a New Hampshire Army National Guard Blackhawk helicopter, and a Civil Air Patrol Cessna airplane could not reach her in time to save her. 
 
 
 
What went wrong? 
 
 
 
Where You'll Find Me offers possible answers to that question, demonstrating why Matrosova's story—what we know and what we will never know—represents such an intriguing and informative case study in risk analysis and decision-making.

Gaslighting - Defend Yourself...

Janis Bryans Psy.D

Do you always feel the need to apologise in your relationship? Does it make you anxious?
Are you led to believe that you’re crazy?
Do you know someone who has the power to make you feel guilty, trapped and confused?
Gaslighting is a form of emotional abuse that occurs in abusive relationships. It’s the act of manipulating a person by forcing them to question their thoughts, memories, and the events that occur around them. A victim of gaslighting can be pushed so far that they question their own sanity.
Gaslighting can happen in many types of relationship, including those with bosses, friends and parents; but probably the most devastating form of gaslighting is when it occurs in a relationship between a couple.
Have you been led to believe that you’re crazy by someone who is, in fact, crazy?
My clients often ask me:
◆ What is it that turns people into gaslighters?
◆ What is a gaslighter personality?
◆ Why does a narcissist gaslight?
◆ What are some common gaslighting techniques?
◆ What are some steps you can take if you are being gaslighted?
◆ How do you know if you are a victim of emotional abuse by gaslighting?
◆ How do you deal with a gaslighter?
◆ How should I respond a gaslighter’s mind games?
◆ Can I get out of this nightmare?
◆ How can I find myself again?
◆ How can I recover after years of power games, control and manipulation?
The topics and concepts described in this book are functional and practical and will have a direct impact on your life, both in romantic and non-romantic relationships. You don't need to be an expert on the subject; just take a deep breath, relax that knot in your stomach and grab this book!
