Resilience is a key component in maintaining health and happiness in old age.When aging adults struggle with social isolation, financial…
instability, or the difficult work of caring for a spouse with a chronic illness, their levels of stress can be enormous. But many older adults are living longer and are trying to make the best of their later years despite being more vulnerable to stress. In Resilience and Aging, renowned geriatric psychiatrist Dr. Helen Lavretsky explains how enhanced resilience—which involves positively adapting to adversity in a way that maintains a person’s biological and psychological equilibrium—can counter that vulnerability. She describes how care, practice, and research all can be redirected toward emphasizing the positive aspects of aging and prevention.Lavretsky summarizes the most up-to-date research on resilience, neurobiology, and preventive care. She also describes novel interventions—including yoga, tai chi, meditation, and allopathic techniques—that can help older adults improve their cognition and quality of life. Finally, she explores relevant clinical cases from her practice. Designed for geriatric practitioners, researchers, and family caregivers, this practical book offers critical information on measuring resilience, the role of spirituality in reducing stress, and incorporating resilience-building procedures into clinical practice or everyday life. Throughout, the book’s revolutionary integrative approach aims to amplify personal happiness by allowing aging adults to remain healthy and active while simultaneously reducing the cost of chronic disease to families and society.You've just won the gold medal, what are you going to do?

feast in your honor and have a poet write a hymn of praise to you. The great poet Pindar composed many such odes for victorious athletes. Esteemed classicist Anne Pippin Burnett presents a fresh and exuberant translation of Pindar's victory songs.The typical Pindaric ode reflects three separate moments: the instant of success in contest, the victory night with its disorderly revels, and the actual banquet of family and friends where the commissioned poem is being offered as entertainment. In their essential effect, these songs transform a physical triumph, as experienced by one man, into a sense of elation shared by his peers—men who have gathered to dine and to drink.Athletic odes were presented by small bands of dancing singers, influencing the audience with music and dance as well as by words. These translations respect the form of the originals, keeping the stanzas that shaped repeating melodies and danced figures and using rhythms meant to suggest performers in motion.Pindar's songs were meant to entertain and exalt groups of drinking men. These translations revive the confident excitement of their original performances.Par Libby Buck. 2025
An enchanting debut novel exploring second chances and blossoming romance in a charming port town in Maine, perfect for fans…
of J. Courtney Sullivan&’s The Cliffs and Catherine Newman&’s Sandwich.Just about everything has gone wrong for Gwen Gilmore over the past year. She&’s lost her mother, her teaching job, and been dumped by her—albeit not that great—long-term boyfriend. Adrift and out of options, she packs her life into her barely functioning car and makes the lonely drive north, to the only place she can think of going: her family&’s aging cottage on the Maine coast, Periwinkle, which she&’s recently inherited. The cottage and Port Anna, the foggy Maine town of Gwen&’s childhood, are unchanged in many ways. For Gwen, they are full of the ghosts of her past—boyfriends, forgotten creative dreams, and painful memories of a sister lost too young. Periwinkle is also home to some more literal ghosts: The Misses, friendly spirits who have long watched over the cottage, but who now seem strangely unsettled, slamming doors and moving furniture in the night. And behind its charming façade, Port Anna has not escaped the realities of modern life. Family homes are being razed to make space for garish condos, the cottage, coveted by a relentless local realtor, is about to be condemned, and the unsolved disappearance of a teenage girl has set the town on edge. On the face of it, it&’s an odd place to try to make a new start. But there are glimmers of hope everywhere, if only Gwen can open herself up to possibility. Sparks fly with Leandro, an Argentinian artist, as aloof and witty as he is wildly attractive. Old friends and former flames come out of the woodwork, bringing with them new opportunities and chances to laugh again. Even in the face of potential happiness, though, it seems some secrets refuse to stay buried. As the summer crowds return to the city and the locals hunker down for another harsh Maine winter, Gwen will be forced to make choices that will change her life forever.Par Omer Atilla Ergi. 2025
The concepts of predestination and free will have been and continue to be two of the most difficult problems of…
classical and contemporary theology and philosophy. The debate on the perplexing coexistence of predestination and free will has been the focal point of discourse among theologians and philosophers since antiquity. The deliberations on determinism also played an important role in the formation of Islamic theology, as the creedal statements of Islamic doctrines define belief in predestination as one of the essential articles of creed while asserting that human agents possess some form of will defined as irada al juz'iyya, &‘the minor will' in the Arabic lexicon. Evidently, the creed of mainstream Islam necessitates that the two concepts are reconciled or at least a conceivable argument is provided to support the notion that predestination could indeed coexist with free will. Arguments for coexistence constructed on scriptural revelation and Prophetic tradition were proposed by various Muslim theologians from the formative period to contemporary times, during which several theological schools emerged due to a number of significant differences in views. This book is primarily based on an examination and analysis of the theological arguments proposed by mainstream Islamic theologians and Fethullah Gülen, a contemporary Muslim scholar, and his theoretical framework on the reconciliation of predestination and free will. The methodology of this project includes comparative and detailed analysis of arguments put forward by formative, classical and contemporary Islamic scholars and examination of arguments proposed by Western theologians and philosophers with an objective to establish the similarities and differences in the theoretical frameworks of scholars from different schools, traditions, and faiths. The main argument of this book is based on the theological premises proposed by Fethullah Gülen and mainstream Sunni theologians that support the coexistence of predestination and free will.Par Rose Keating. 2025

In &“Oddbody,&” a woman finds herself navigating a codependent relationship with a ghost, while &“Squirm&” portrays a daughter tending to her father as he devours himself from the inside out. &“Pineapple&” introduces us to a woman who opts to have feather wings surgically attached to her back. In &“Eggshells,&” a waitress gives birth to an egg during her breakfast shift. Each narrative in this collection is immersive, bizarre, and deeply empathetic, shining a light on women who dare to defy societal norms and invite you to question the conventions and milestones that determine success.Par Melissa Locker. 2025
This oral history documents the story of Oasis as told by the fans who were there. Discover never-before-seen perspectives charting…
the rise, fall, and rise again of Liam and Noel Gallagher and the British rock band whose music defined a generation.A few years after Definitely Maybe topped the charts, with &“(What&’s the Story) Morning Glory?&” established as one of the UK&’s bestselling albums of all time, and Oasis the reigning rulers of British rock, Noel Gallagher did the unthinkable: he broke up the band. After a string of public spats, Noel announced that he &“simply could not go on working&” with his brother Liam &“a day longer.&” Fifteen years later, the brothers announced a truce. The news sent fans into a frenzy, ticket prices soared, and Definitely Maybe was back on the top of the charts. That&’s because for a generation of music lovers around the world, Oasis really mattered. Their combination of earthy lyrics, brazen attitude, and earworm-worthy tunes set against a backdrop of working-class experience made them relatable, memorable, and important. And After All gives the mic to the fans that launched Oasis to stratospheric fame and takes a deep dive into the band&’s formation, history, and reunion. Through the lens of the fans who were there for all the songs, feuds, and incredible shows, journalist Melissa Locker examines the path Oasis charted as they cemented their place in modern rock history. Voices in this fan history include the band&’s earliest PR person, superfan memorabilia collectors, musicians who toured with Oasis in the early days, concertgoers from some of the band&’s most legendary performances, official Fan Club leadership, couples who met because of the band, the DJ who inspired Noel to dare Liam to call him and may have kick-started the reunion, among many others. Their personal stories about the music, the concerts, and the band come together in a mosaic that depicts Oasis&’s enduring legacy.Par James Grady. 2025
An atmospheric and dramatic novel set in mid-century Montana by the acclaimed author of Six Days of the Condor."Grady's style…
is loose, colorful, challenging and fun. I sometimes thought of Orwell&’s novel 1984, sometimes of the Dylan song 'Desolation Row.'"—Patrick Anderson, The Washington Post For the teenaged Luc, his days are preoccupied with the daily dramas of high school. President John F. Kennedy's assassination seems a world away. But the winds of history find its way to his small Montana town as marijuana clouds rise in the hallways and the notices of neighborhood young men of "Killed in Action" in Vietnam keep arriving at an increasing rate. Acclaimed novelist James Grady's American Sky brings to life the world of a young man who is caught in the nexus of vast social change. From blue collar life in the heartland to Kent State and the Civil Rights movement, American Sky is a sweeping narrative that builds to a crime that threatens to tear Luc's world apart. Previous compared to Larry McMurty, George Orwell, Harper Lee and Bob Dylan, James Grady explores Bruce Springsteen's generation and has crafted a action filled and timeless destined to become a classic.Par Harini Nagendra. 2025

of polymicrobial communities, the biochemistry and function of the oral biofilm matrix, cooperative interactions, as well as antagonism among microbes within oral biofilms. The past decade has brought major technological advancements in molecular and microscopy technologies changing our understanding of oral biofilms in health and disease. International experts comprehensively describe key strategies and techniques for studying oral biofilms in vitro, ex vivo and in vivo, including imaging, model systems and omics approaches. In addition, the book provides an up-to-date overview of oral biofilms and associated diseases. Innovative antibiofilm strategies are also addressed. These span from eradication or modulation of oral biofilms as a prevention strategy, and nonantibiotic or antibiotic-supplementing approaches such as quorum sensing inhibition, nanoparticles and pre-and probiotics. The book is a useful introduction to the field for early career scientists interested in basic and translational research on oral biofilms. It is also an interesting read for advanced scientists and clinicians working in dentistry and oral health research, as it gives them a broader view of the topic beyond their area of specialization.Par Thomas Glatte, Larissa Dell, Kim Laura Schrezenmaier. 2025

This book is a collection of context-specific ICT-based interventions to achieve sustainability from various perspectives or dimensions. The book is…
based on case study examples in the strategic context of Hainan, South China. Five ICT-based pilot studies were conducted, surveyed, and analysed in 2021 and 2022. The studies explore impacts on four main sustainability dimensions of environmental, social, economic, and institutional. Several ICT-based interventions are suggested to enhance environmental protection, promote health and support in elderly communities, augment social media for place promotion, create online opportunities for local markets, and help boost local tourism industries. Urban Innovation and Sustainability is an attempt to highlight the positive side of ICT-based interventions in cities and communities. We also need to note the negative side of ICTs, which are partly covered in the case study examples. However, this book focuses on case study pilot examples to promote the nexus between innovation and sustainability. It is essential to explore opportunities that could later be scaled up, transform practices, and help develop context-specific policies. In essence, paradigm shifts, infrastructural development, and human-centric development are necessary. This book&’s findings interest scholars/researchers, practitioners, and authorities in various disciplines of urbanism, urban/human geography, urban studies, planning, innovation, and sustainability.Par Shin’ichi Konomi, Norbert A.

The grave birds begin to show Hollis the dead&’s ugly deeds from some twenty-five years ago and the horrible things some people did to gain their wealth. Hollis can&’t decide if Cain is some immortal hand of God, there to expose their sins. Or if he&’s a devil there to ruin them all. Either way, she&’s determined to save her town and the people in it, whatever it takes.
