In the bestselling An Heir Comes to Rise series comes the gripping fourth instalment from Chloe C. Peñaranda. A trial of the heart, a test of reign, follow Nik and Tauria as their story continues where it left off in A Throne from the Ashes.In a war of hearts, fates will be sealed. But in a battle of thrones, no bond may be truly unbreakable.A COURT...To reclaim her throne, Tauria leaves behind her safety to travel across courts. A marriage alliance with the prickly Prince of Olmstone could grant her the power to fight for her kingdom . . . or inspire a monarch's deadly vengeance that threatens all she holds dear.A BOND...No amount of distance can make Nik forget his desires, but caught in a torturous conflict of heart against duty, he's at risk of losing both. Now is the time to choose. Claim the bond and accept the prophesy that kept him from her all this time . . . or set his aching heart-and hers-free once and for all.A DARKNESS...But peace is never promised when the shadow of war looms, and Tauria's harrowing discoveries foretell a damning fate of evil to all those who bear a crown. To love may be to condemn, but to deny would be a far deadlier curse at the hands of the sinister forces intent on taking them down.

How can I best support the needs of my neurodivergent clients in therapy? Creating a more supportive environment for autistic clients can be a confusing process. With so much information, and so many different perspectives, it can be difficult to know where to start. Further, the mental health field has only recently begun moving away from "treating autism" to working with autistic and neurodivergent individuals in a more affirming way. That's why Dr. Amy Marschall created A Clinician's Guide to Supporting Autistic Clients. As an expert psychologist and a member of the autism community herself, she recognized the need to move away from treatments that pathologize differences and toward a neurodiversity-affirming approach that meets clients where they are. Inside this new and invaluable resource, you'll find over 100 affirming tips, tools, and interventions that will allow you to: * Honor the language preferences, goals, and priorities of the autistic community * Create a foundation for assessment and treatment that best supports autistic clients * Correct unintentional harms caused by historical "best practices" in autism treatment * Address sensory stimulation and food-based sensitivities in session * Facilitate communication among semispeaking or nonspeaking clients * Request accommodations when appropriate And more! You'll also find a bonus list of resources about autism written by and for autistic individuals. Neurodiversity-affirming care is not a set of specific behaviors or interventions but an underlying philosophy of honoring each client's needs today and every day. Let this resource be your guide!

A Companion that examines together two pivotal periods of Greek archaeology and offers a rich analysis of early Greek culture A Companion to the Archaeology of Early Greece and the Mediterranean offers an original and inclusive review of two key periods of Greek archaeology, which are typically treated separately—the Late Bronze Age and the Early Iron Age. It presents an in-depth exploration of the society and material culture of Greece and the Mediterranean, from the 14th to the early 7th centuries BC. The two-volume companion sets Aegean developments within their broader geographic and cultural context, and presents the wide-ranging interactions with the Mediterranean. The companion bridges the gap that typically exists between Prehistoric and Classical Archaeology and examines material culture and social practice across Greece and the Mediterranean. A number of specialists examine the environment and demography, and analyze a range of textual and archaeological evidence to shed light on socio-political and cultural developments. The companion also emphasizes regionalism in the archaeology of early Greece and examines the responses of different regions to major phenomena such as state formation, literacy, migration and colonization. Comprehensive in scope, this important companion: Outlines major developments in the two key phases of early Greece, the Late Bronze Age and the Early Iron AgeIncludes studies of the geography, chronology and demography of early GreeceExplores the development of early Greek state and society and examines economy, religion, art and material cultureSets Aegean developments within their Mediterranean context Written for students, and scholars interested in the material culture of the era, ACompanion to the Archaeology of Early Greece and the Mediterranean offers a comprehensive and authoritative guide that bridges the gap between the Late Bronze Age and the Early Iron Age. 2020 CHOICE Outstanding Academic Title Winner!

The Book of Enoch was read and revered across the spectrum of Second Temple Judaism-those forms of Judaism that thrived in the "Intertestamental" period (ca. 500 B.C. to 100 A. D.). The book is more properly referred to as 1 Enoch in order to distinguish it from other books that bore the name Enoch which were composed later than this period (e.g., 2 Enoch, 3 Enoch). Though 1 Enoch was and is not considered canonical Scripture by the majority of Jewis and Christian authorities in antiquity, the book had a very wide readership, including the authors of New Testament books. This fact is well known to scholars who work in the original languages of both the New Testament and 1 Enoch. The content of 1 Enoch can be found in a number of passages in the New Testament as well as certain of its theological conceptions. Though the scholarly literature on 1 Enoch is plentiful, no commentary for the interested lay person exists-until now. A Companion to the Book of Enoch: A Reader's Commentary, Volume 1: The Book of the Watchers (1 Enoch 1-36) was written to fill this void and help students of the Bible understand and appreciate this important and influential ancient book. This "reader's commentary" does not require original language facility on the part of its user. Rather, the purpose of a Reader's Commentary is to help readers of 1 Enoch comprehend what the book's content with greater insight and clarity. Consequently, this Reader's Commentary on 1 Enoch is not written for scholars. Anyone who has decided to devote the time to reading 1 Enoch, perhaps for the first time, will find this resource eminently useful. A Companion to the Book of Enoch: A Reader's Commentary is based on the translation of 1 Enoch by R. H. Charles (1917). Important original language insights and differences in manuscripts of 1 Enoch are noted and explained as are theological concepts.

A full Black repertoire grounded in answering 1…e6 against any move! The answer against 1. d4 is the Stonewall, while the answer against 1. e4 is the French. The Stonewall Dutch is a defense that nowadays has a dodgy reputation, but this is ungrounded. It is true that Black willingly creates a bad bishop, but I have both improved on modern theory, as well as offer some odd-looking, interesting, and innovative new ways to play this once renowned (and soon-to-be renowned!) defense. A defense that powerhouses such as Viktor Korchnoi used to play a lot is not being scrapped and thrown into the bin, as much as people nowadays believe it should, but rather shall be revitalized and spring to life anew. As this book binds the Stonewall Dutch with the French, our move order is 1. d4 e6 2. c4 f5. If White wants to transpose into the French with 2. e4 after having played 1. d4 and has learned all of the theory to do so, then let them. The French Defense needs no introduction. Oft derided and dehumanized, I have heard throughout my chess career even hereunto that the French is refuted, that it is a forced loss, that engines would slaughter it; I have heard it all. As the ethos of this book is flexibility I present to you several different answers within these two opening complexes. While the Stonewall Dutch is not known for flexibility-indeed the pawn structure is often locked and fixed before move ten— there are some new, outlandish-looking ideas that are seldom played that will serve you well and give you a longtime surprise factor. This type of surprise factor means that you will not have the 'one-game surprise' whereby your opponents catch on to your ideas and then you get slaughtered in all your following games. What I mean is that you can keep using these seldom-played ideas, and your opponents start scrambling for weeks or months trying to find a killer answer, banging their heads against the wall, only to find out that none exists. Opening theory accepts these ideas as totally playable, and in many cases, at least as good as the 'traditional’ main lines, new theory in these once seldom-played lines will grow and blossom into the main lines of the future. We will see this in the 1. d4 part of the book. Coming up with answers to White’s tries to dodge the main lines after 1.c4 and 1.Nf3 was cumbersome to say the least, but I have found something interesting. I shall leave this as a surprise as well. In modern chess every opening book must be diligently checked with engines, often I do not choose the engine’s top choice. This does not mean that Black does not equalize in my recommendations—he does—it is just that I have chosen weirder, offbeat variations that hold. All in all, this book gives you a full fighting repertoire against all of White’s first moves. While the next World Championship contenders probably will not follow my recommendations, perhaps they should! Other than making this repertoire as akin to street-fighting as possible, I have backed it up with highly rigorous and painstaking computer analysis using cloud engines that make the repertoire bulletproof.

Before Draven was the feared captain over one of Bathara's revered aggregates, he was merely a teenager learning how to better his magic, better his combat, and better himself. With his brothers by his side, Draven battles against a world that has carved out his identity with a ruthless blade-despite the wrath Tynan Dalmar brings down on him each time he falls short of his father's measure. But after a particularly cruel interaction where the fraying chords holding his family together officially snap, Draven's mother whisks him away in the middle of the night to finally put distance between them and House Dalmar.It is in the unsuspecting city of Príth-where colors dance and streets thrum with a living heartbeat-that Draven's world expands far broader than he ever imagined. And as he watches his mother's smile return while confronting his deepest fears, Draven believes he has finally found his place in the world. Has discovered the true warmth of a family at last.Until his father shatters that illusion into a million, serrated pieces.A Composition of Scars tells the tale of how Draven received his deepest scars. The ones that always remain, alive and bleeding beneath his skin. It should be read after A Requiem for Fallen Stars.

In recent decades, there has been a growing interest in the classical formulae of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), some of which trace back centuries or even 1000 to 2000 years. The preservation of numerous traditional texts has endowed TCM doctors with the invaluable ability to tap into the extensive knowledge passed down through the generations. This practice has culminated in the development of Chinese phytotherapy, encompassing a variety of formulae tailored to treat specific syndromes.Expanding the horizons of this holistic treatment approach, typically applied in TCM, holds immense potential when implemented for Western medicinal herbs. This methodology stands poised to be just as effective for Western therapists as it has been for TCM doctors.This book incorporates both the traditional formulae of TCM as well as formulae consisting of Western herbs. Exploring 50 important formulae of TCM, the author delves into the adaptations using Western herbs, such as rosemary, thyme, sage, burdock root, buckthorn bark, etc. Some formulae also include herbs that are commonly found in most households like cardamom, caraway, fennel and aniseed.

Uses a comparative hermeneutical method to explain the most important terms in the classical Confucian philosophical texts, in an effort to allow the tradition to speak on its own terms.Over the years, Roger T. Ames and his collaborators have consistently argued for a processual understanding of Chinese natural cosmology made explicit in the Book of Changes. It is this way of thinking, captured in its own interpretive context with the expression "continuities in change" (biantong) that has shaped the grammar of the Chinese language and informs the key philosophical vocabulary of Confucian philosophy. Over the past several centuries of cultural encounter, the formula established by the early missionaries for the translation of classical Chinese texts into Western languages has resulted in a Christian conversion of Confucian texts that is still very much with us today. And more recently, the invention of a new Chinese language to synchronize East Asian cultures with Western modernity has become another obstacle in our reading of the Confucian canons. This volume, a companion volume to A Sourcebook in Classical Confucian Philosophy, employs a comparative hermeneutical method in an attempt to explain the Confucian terms of art and to take the Confucian tradition on its own terms.
