Book excerpt: A luminous and enthralling story of birds and science, ambition and sacrifice, revolutions - both big and small - and the late blooming of an unforgettable woman. I first loved him because he taught me the flight of a bird. I was too young to realise that what I really yearned to know was why birds take flight - and why, sometimes, they refuse. Meridian Wallace has lived through the Second World War, the atomic age, the Vietnam War and the dawn of the new millennium - yet she has always been torn between who she is and who circumstances demand her to be. In 1941, spirited, ambitious and determined to prove worthy of the sacrifices her mother made for her, Meridian won a place at the University of Chicago to study ornithology. The last thing she expected was to fall in love with a man two decades older: her brilliant physics professor, Alden Whetstone - or for him to be recruited to Los Alamos, New Mexico, to take part in a mysterious wartime project. When Meridian defers her plans to join him, she agrees to give Alden a year of her life. But this is a world, and a time, in which a wife cannot be a scientist and a woman cannot choose her own destiny. What begins as an electrifying intellectual partnership soon evolves into something quite different. As the decades pass, Meridian strives to resist the clipping of her wings. It is a choice that will make her enemies and bring her heartache, but it also opens up unexpected possibilities: of freedom, and friendship and transformation...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on cutting-edge research with more than 1,000 married couples, this “revolutionary book” (Harville Hendrix, PhD, coauthor of Making Marriage Simple) shows you how to bolster your resolve by strengthening your relationship, offering a fresh approach to weight loss that will turn your spouse from diet saboteur into your most loyal health ally. First comes love, then comes marriage…then comes a larger pant size? Many couples find themselves gaining weight as they settle into a relationship, but some couples manage to buck this trend. They exercise (together or separately), they support each other’s healthy eating habits, and their relationships are stronger as a result. What are their secrets? It turns out that many of us are ignoring the most powerful tool we have to help us get healthier and stay healthier—our spouse or significant other. For more than twenty years, Drs. Thomas Bradbury and Benjamin Karney, codirectors of the Relationship Institute at UCLA, have been studying how couples communicate around these issues, witnessing firsthand how partners can help (and hinder) one another’s progress toward better health. In Love Me Slender, they identify the specific principles that successful couples use in their quest to improve their health. Love Me Slender offers new solutions based on a remarkable insight: The powerful connection we share with our mate can influence what we eat, how much we exercise, how well we age, and ultimately how long we live. Strengthening this connection, and using it to influence our daily habits, holds the key to better health. Featuring self-assessments and case studies from real couples working to stay healthy together, Love Me Slender is an eye-opening, uplifting guide to changing the dynamic of your relationship and improving your health—and the health of those you love most.

Book excerpt: "This isn’t just another weight loss book, it’s so much more" - Online Book Club "An easy-to-read book with a unique approach to weight loss." - Reedsy "This book will help you to harness the power of self-love, change your relationship with food and exercise, achieve your weight loss goals and fall in love with you. Yes, self-love can help you lose weight - it helped me lose over 85 pounds. I share my story to help others learn to love themselves more, overcome weight issues, and get the body they desire and deserve." WHO THIS BOOK IS FOR Diets not working for you? Not loving the gym? Feeling fed up with being overweight? This book is for anyone who wants to make a change in their lives. WHY DIETS ALONE DON’T WORK There’s a reason restrictive diets and strict exercise regimes don’t work. Technically, any regime will work if you can ‘stick at it’, but sticking at it is hard. Hey, even starting is hard, right? To make a big change we need to change our mindset first. THIS IS A REVOLUTIONARY NEW WEIGHTLOSS METHOD Instead of starting diets or exercise regimes and trying, or hoping for the best, it’s time for a new weightloss method. To do what’s necessary to shift the weight via any diet or exercise regime, first you have to fix your relationship with you. Love Yourself & Lose Weight offers a revolutionary and visionary approach to weightloss that’s not about the food you eat or the calories you burn, no, it’s simply all about you. If you don’t accept, like, and love yourself, you’re missing a key ingredient to any weightloss regime - you’re missing what you need to make the change. Without self-love, the chances are stacked against you and it’s more likely that whatever you try will fail. SELF LOVE IS THE KEY What if learning to absolutely love yourself could be the key? “With self-love on my side I lost over 85 pounds forever. I’m sharing my secrets of self-love to help you lose weight too. If I can do it, anyone can!” THIS IS A TRANSFORMATIONAL STORY This is the success story of self-love. Katie shares her personal, funny and inspirational story of how she found and harnessed self-love to achieve massive and permanent weight loss. At the age of 38, with a new born baby, Katie was fed up - literally! Years of telling herself she was fine, that the weight gain didn’t matter, that she didn’t matter - had taken their toll and she was over 85 pounds overweight. She didn’t want to wake up feeling disappointed anymore, she knew she needed a change and she knew diets had never worked. A year and a half later, having discovered the power of self-love, she had lost over 85 pounds, changed her shape, changed her outlook on pretty much everything. LEARN THE POWER OF SELF LOVE This book explains the psychology and power of self-love as a catalyst for weightloss. Instead of achieving self-love as a result of weightloss, Love Yourself & Lose Weight helps readers to achieve self-love today! Loving yourself today, whatever weight you are, will enable you to eat consciously, to move your body, and to delight in your weightloss journey, and to feel great about being you. THE BOOK CONTAINS ACTIVITIES YOU CAN DO AT HOME TO BUILD YOUR SELF LOVE Read how Katie transformed her life and then use the series of easy activities as you create your own self-love success story.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Supplementing theological interpretation with historical, literary, and philosophical perspectives, The Weight of Love analyzes the nature and role of affectivity in medieval Christian devotion through an original interpretation of the writings of the Franciscan theologian Bonaventure. It intervenes in two crucial developments in medieval Christian thought and practice: the renewal of interest in the corpus of Dionysius the Areopagite in thirteenth-century Paris and the proliferation of new forms of affective meditation focused on the passion of Christ in the later Middle Ages. Through the exemplary life and death of Francis of Assisi, Robert Glenn Davis examines how Bonaventure traces a mystical itinerary culminating in the meditant’s full participation in Christ’s crucifixion. For Bonaventure, Davis asserts, this death represents the becoming-body of the soul, the consummation and transformation of desire into the crucified body of Christ. In conversation with the contemporary historiography of emotions and critical theories of affect, The Weight of Love contributes to scholarship on medieval devotional literature by urging and offering a more sustained engagement with the theological and philosophical elaborations of affectus. It also contributes to debates around the “affective turn” in the humanities by placing it within this important historical context, challenging modern categories of affect and emotion.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: (Previously published as Receiving God's Love) Tired of Gaining Weight or the Guilt & Shame from Emotional Eating? Be Filled with the Spirit Instead! For years, I'd gain at least 5 pounds around the holidays or whenever I felt stressed. I used it as an excuse to break all of my boundaries with the promise that I'd restart my diet after the latest drama or life catastrophe had passed. Because I didn’t understand the depth of Christ's love for me and as result, I only focused on feeling satiated by filled full of my favorite foods which ironically left me feeling empty and trapped. I felt anything but free. Over the years, I've come to realize that without a deeper understanding of God's love for me, I'm lost. I refuse to let overwhelm be a stronghold over me because I simply over-extend myself and over-eat until I’m stuffed. So I've chosen to live a new way and choose “Faith over Food” and I invite you to join me. Every time I feel anxious, scared or overwhelmed, I now engage in a deeper understanding of God's love for me during any of these storms.
