  The Western Han Dynasty: A History of China, PART THREE takes you on a journey through ambition, betrayal, war, and the struggle for power. From Emperor Yuan’s court to the dynasty’s fall and rebirth under Liu Xiu, this book brings to life the rulers, rebels, and visionaries who shaped one of China’s most fascinating eras. 
  Inside the imperial palace, love and power intertwined. Figures like Zhao Feiyan, a dancer turned empress, and the “Cut-Sleeve Emperor,” whose personal life left a historic mark, rose to prominence. Meanwhile, political schemes brewed. Wang Mang, a seemingly noble reformer, seized the throne, triggering chaos, rebellion, and his own dramatic downfall. 
  Beyond the palace, Han power extended through diplomacy and war. General Chen Tang’s bold campaign proved Han’s far-reaching influence. Meanwhile, Wang Zhaojun, sent to marry a Xiongnu chieftain, sacrificed her status to bring peace beyond the Great Wall. 
  As the empire crumbled, Liu Xiu waited. Patient and strategic, he seized the moment to lead a rebellion that restored the Han Dynasty. His rise marked the climax of this era of transformation. 
  This is more than history—it’s a saga of power, betrayal, sacrifice, and resilience. If you love epic tales of real-life intrigue and legacy, this book will draw you deep into the Western Han's dramatic rise, fall, and rebirth.

  Hostile Takeover - Aggressive...

  A hostile takeover is an aggressive maneuver in which one entity seizes control of another against its will. While the term is most commonly associated with corporate battles, hostile takeovers can occur in politics, criminal organizations, personal relationships, and even social groups. At its core, a hostile takeover is about power—gaining it, consolidating it, and using it to reshape an entity to serve the interests of the aggressor. Unlike consensual mergers or voluntary leadership transitions, hostile takeovers are marked by conflict, resistance, and strategic maneuvering. 
  In the corporate world, a hostile takeover typically occurs when one company seeks to acquire another without the consent of its board of directors. This is often done by purchasing a majority of shares on the open market, launching a tender offer to shareholders, or engaging in a proxy battle to replace leadership. The targeted company may attempt to defend itself using tactics such as poison pills, white knight rescues, or legal challenges, but once control is seized, the acquiring entity dictates the company's future direction. Corporate hostile takeovers are often driven by financial gain, market dominance, or strategic positioning, but they can also be fueled by personal vendettas or ideological shifts. 
  Beyond the business realm, hostile takeovers manifest in political settings as coups, regime changes, and leadership purges. Throughout history, governments have been overthrown through military force, manipulation of laws, or exploitation of public sentiment. Political leaders who rise to power through hostile means often implement sweeping changes, consolidating authority and eliminating opposition to solidify their control. These takeovers can reshape entire nations, alter global relations, and redefine ideologies, demonstrating the far-reaching consequences of power struggles.

  Invest With Social Responsibility, It Can Be A Tool For GoodIn 1977, two years after I graduated from Brown University, college students around the country launched a movement against Apartheid. Their campaign focused on divestment: convincingAmerican corporations to sell shares of companies doing business with South Africa's Apartheid government. The foundation of their argument was moral and straightforward, that no one should profit from a system that brutally oppresses people. By the mid-1980s, the divestment campaign became made pariahs of the companies still willing to transact with the Apartheid regime. Reflecting on the movement, in 2010 Archbishop Desmond Tutu wrote, “We could not have achieved our freedom and just peace without the help of people around the world, who through the use of non-violent means, such as boycotts and divestment, encouraged their governments and other corporate actors to reverse decades-long support for the Apartheid regime.”Socially responsible investing is rooted in the recognition that money, because it holds power in people’s imaginations, can be a tool for accomplishing good.

  Mastering Our Emotions -...

  Emotions are a gift from God—yes, even the "bad" ones.
  Anxiety can keep us up at night. Anger can cause us to fly off the handle. Sadness can drain us of energy. Shame can isolate us. Emotions like these are powerful. They can tax our relationships and distress our souls. No amount of sheer willpower or good intentions are sufficient to overcome them.
  But God has a good purpose for these core emotions he created. By integrating biblical truth, evidence-based insights from psychology, and spiritual practices, we can move from being mastered by these emotions to living in emotional maturity. Psychologist Kevin Chapman draws on his therapeutic expertise to invite us into a deeper understanding of our own thinking patterns, emotional triggers, and avoidance behaviors—all viewed through the lens of scriptural truth and God's power to change lives.
  In Mastering Our Emotions you'll find
  
  - exercises
  - worksheets
  - Scripture readings, and
  - reflection prompts
  to help you work through challenges and develop new skills.
  Rather than simply reacting to negative emotions in unhealthy ways, with God's help you can experience emotional transformation.
