  There is hope in Alzheimer's disease, but it isn't where most people look for it... 
  Any form of dementia is terrifying and lonely for both the one suffering it and for those close to them. How do our relationships with those we love change with loss of memory or clarity of thought? What happens to our relationship with God? 
  For those suffering from early-stage Alzheimer's, for their friends and family, community and church, this book will help you understand the disease itself, how to love and care for those affected by it, and how to see the hope that's greater than it: we may forget, but God always remembers. 
  With pastoral tenderness and gospel confidence, Dr. Benjamin Mast shares his expertise on the subject and displays the power of the gospel that remains intact even when memory fades. Second Forgetting provides:Up-to-date answers to common questions about the disease and its effect on personal identity and faith.Personal stories of those affected and the loved ones who care for them and what their experiences were like—where they found hope and how they most needed support.Practical suggestions for how the church can come alongside families and those struggling or hurting. 
  When a person is diagnosed with Alzheimer's, they face great uncertainty, knowing that they can expect to live their remaining years with increasing confusion and progressively greater reliance upon other people to care for them. Dr. Mast will help you see how Alzheimer's disease cannot have the final say on God's unforgotten children.

  Homo habilis and Homo erectus:...

  The evolutionary path from the original primates to modern man is a long one and has taken many twists and turns, but naturally, as the fossil record grows, scientists gain a more complete understanding of our own mental and physical history in terms of genetics and anatomy. However, the correct order and relationships of the various specimen types are difficult to pin down. Many representative samples have been found in such minute amounts as to not preclude anomalies. They have been discovered in various stages of wear. Modern features did not occur simultaneously or uniformly, taking millions of years to become manifest in later types. Up to the present day’s Homo sapiens, examples of the main types have been hybrids of older and more modern features. 
  	One of the earliest species of the genus Homo to be discovered is Homo habilis, which basically means “handy man.” The name comes from the belief at the time of its discovery that this species was the first to start using stone tools. The first fossils to be uncovered in Olduvai Gorge were from the same stratigraphic layer as simple stone tools. Fossils of the crania and postcranial skeleton for this species have been found in both eastern and southern Africa and date to around 2.5–1.6 million years ago.  
  	Given the gradual changes that take place in evolution, Homo habilis shares a number of characteristics that are similar to the genus Australopithecus, such as in the postcranial elements. That said, the size and shape of the Homo habilis skull are markedly different. The size of the brain is much larger relative to the size of the body, being around 680 cc. In order to house a larger brain, the skull features a more vertical frontal bone, creating a more vertical forehead. The brow ridges that sit on the lower portion of the frontal bone are also reduced in size.

  Women around the world do extremely well when it comes to their education. They graduate at higher rates than men and have higher average GPAs. But then a strange thing happens: upon entering the workforce, they immediately lose their advantage. When the first promotions come around, the slide continues. For every 100 men promoted to manager, only 81 women overall and 77 women of color get promoted. 
   
   
   
  This is what McKinsey senior partners Kweilin Ellingrud, Lareina Yee, and María del Mar Martínez call "the broken rung," and its effects compound throughout women's careers. In this groundbreaking book, the authors reveal the problem's underlying cause: while about half of a person's lifetime earnings come from education and half from work experience, men get more value from their experience than women do. It is also here, in one's work experience, that the solution lies: women need to build their "experience capital" to level the playing field and maximize their earning potential. 
   
   
   
  The book combines over a decade of research, personal conversations with more than fifty remarkable leaders, and the authors' own rich experiences as leaders at McKinsey. They weave data on the potential pitfalls with inspiring and instructive stories of women who have climbed over the broken rung using strategies that increased their experience capital. 
   
   
   
  Stay tuned at the end of the audiobook for an exclusive author conversation.

  Egyptian Symbolism - The Meaning...

  Egyptian symbolism is one of the most captivating aspects of ancient Egyptian culture, reflecting their deeply spiritual worldview and providing insight into their daily lives, religious practices, and understanding of the universe. From the majestic pyramids to the intricate hieroglyphs on temple walls, symbolism played a crucial role in conveying meanings that went beyond the literal. It was a tool to communicate with the gods, mark divine power, and ensure continuity in both life and the afterlife. 
  At the heart of Egyptian symbolism was the belief that the world was filled with hidden meanings and spiritual forces, each symbol carrying its own power. This belief was manifested in art, architecture, rituals, and even the everyday objects used by the ancient Egyptians. Symbols were not just representations; they were believed to hold an active force that could influence the material world and the spiritual realm. For example, the Ankh, a symbol resembling a cross with a loop at the top, represented life and was often used in funerary texts to ensure immortality for the deceased. 
  In Egyptian society, symbols were central to religious practices. The gods and goddesses, each represented by specific symbols and animal forms, embodied different aspects of life, death, and the cosmos. The sun god Ra, for instance, was depicted as a falcon, symbolizing both the sun’s power and the bird's dominance in the sky. The scarab beetle, a symbol of rebirth and protection, was commonly used in amulets and artifacts, signifying the cyclical nature of life and the hope for resurrection.
