  Traumatic experiences happen to nearly everyone, at some time, in some form. The aftereffects—depression, anxiety, addiction, panic attacks, insomnia, and more—can affect us for years or even a lifetime. But the brokenness following a traumatic event is never a life sentence. We are all changed by trauma, but we do not have to be defined by it. 
   
   
   
  Drawing on cutting-edge research, Triumph over Trauma empowers you to find relief and hope once and for all. Rather than offering a one-size-fits-all solution, this whole-person treatment approach recognizes you as a unique constellation of emotional, physical, intellectual, relational, and spiritual dimensions. This book explains how trauma affects your emotions, body, brain, relationships, soul, and dreams. Then it shows you how to create a personalized plan to find your way back to wholeness, joy, and peace.

  Why Not Better and Cheaper? -...

  An engaging account of innovation in healthcare and why the results fall short for patients and society. 
   
   
   
  The evolution of the cell phones we carry in our pockets demonstrates that quality can increase while prices fall. Why doesn't healthcare also get better and cheaper? 
   
   
   
  In Why Not Better and Cheaper?, James B. Rebitzer and Robert S. Rebitzer offer an answer to this question. Bringing together research on incentives, social norms, and market competition, they argue that the healthcare system generates the wrong kinds of innovation. It is too easy to profit from low-value innovations and too hard to profit from innovations that reduce the costs of care. The result is a healthcare system that is profusely innovative yet remarkably ineffective in discovering ways to deliver increased value at lower cost. 
   
   
   
  Why Not Better and Cheaper? sheds new light on the trajectory of innovation in healthcare, and how to point innovation in a better direction.

  Cassandra Snow's groundbreaking Queering the Tarot helped change the shape of tarot discourse for scores of new readers to reclaim this ancient practice in their own way. Tarot in Other Words opens doors for these brilliant tarotists, offering unique insights and concepts for tarot readers of all levels. Queerness will be a thematic thread running throughout the project, with individual essays tackling a variety of topics that expand on that theme in new and compelling ways. 
   
   
    
  Presented in two parts, the anthology comprises ten essays that shine a light on the tarot from multiple queer perspectives. Understanding queerness—and why it matters in tarot—can teach all of us so much about not just gender and sexuality but also how and why we should liberate ourselves in the first place. These essays on queerness show us that who we are is right, beautiful, and sacred. Queerness teaches us to honor differences in others and understand that what is good for one may not be good for all. There is a historical basis for why tarot and queerness go hand in hand: for a lot of cultures, such as the Romani and other oppressed groups forced into nomadic lifestyles, fortune-telling using cards and other tools was and is to this day survival work. This is the same reason we see so many queer, BIPOC, and disabled people take up tarot in the US.

  Mary Wollstonecraft - The...

  Mary Wollstonecraft was a pioneering British writer and philosopher whose ideas on women’s rights and education laid the foundation for modern feminism. Born on April 27, 1759, in Spitalfields, London, she grew up in a time when society severely restricted women's opportunities. Despite these limitations, Wollstonecraft’s determination, intellect, and relentless pursuit of knowledge allowed her to challenge the status quo and advocate for gender equality. Her life was shaped by personal struggles, societal constraints, and an unwavering belief in the power of education. 
  Wollstonecraft’s early years were marked by financial instability and familial hardships. Her father, Edward Wollstonecraft, mismanaged the family’s wealth, frequently moving the household in pursuit of failed business ventures. This instability forced Mary and her siblings into difficult circumstances, with her witnessing firsthand the consequences of economic insecurity. More troubling, her father was reportedly abusive, particularly towards her mother, which deeply affected Mary’s views on marriage and male authority. Unlike many girls of her time, who received little to no formal education, Mary sought knowledge independently. She read extensively, developed a strong moral compass, and displayed an early inclination toward questioning societal norms. 
  One of the most influential figures in her formative years was Fanny Blood, a close friend whose intellect and independence inspired Mary. Their friendship was instrumental in shaping Wollstonecraft’s aspirations and her desire for a life beyond the domestic sphere. In pursuit of financial independence, she worked as a governess and later as a teacher, experiences that would inform her views on education.

  The Far Edges of the Known World...

  When Ovid was exiled from Rome to a border town on the Black Sea, he despaired at his bleak and barbarous new surroundings. Like many Greeks and Romans, Ovid thought the outer reaches of his world was where civilization ceased to exist. Our own fascination with the Greek and Roman world has for centuries followed this perspective, shrouding cultures at the far reaches of their influence in myth. But what was it like to live on the edges of these empires, on the boundaries of the known world? 
   
   
   
  In The Far Edges of the Known World, ancient historian Owen Rees draws on archaeological excavations to reveal these so-called borders as thriving multicultural spaces. This is where the boundaries of "civilized" and "barbarian" began to dissipate; where traditional rules didn't always apply; where different cultures intermarried; and where nomadic tribes built their own cities. Rees journeys from the sandy caravan routes of Morocco to the freezing winters of the northern Black Sea, from the Red River valley of Vietnam to the rain-lashed forts south of Hadrian’s Wall. Rees introduces us to the everyday people who called the borderlands home. As Rees shows, exchanges of trends, ideas, even religious practices were happening all over the world. 
   
   
   
  The Far Edges of the Known World offers us a vibrant new lens to see and understand the ancient world.
