The Myth of Aging
World-renowned psychiatrist Arnold Gilberg, MD, offers a prescription for finding and keeping happiness and emotional well-being throughout a person’s life. Arnold Gilberg, MD, a Distinguished Life Fellow of the American Psychiatric Association, has treated thousands of patients in his Los Angeles-based practice. Now, the so-called “psychiatrist to the stars” wants to put his six decades of experience to good use by offering a prescription for happiness and fulfillment, aimed mostly at those enjoying what should be the happiest years of their lives. Dr. Gilberg, who himself became an ordained rabbi later in life and is still practicing psychiatry as an octogenarian, offers a model for finding the joy and energy to speed up instead of slow down. In The Myth of Aging, he covers a range of topics that center on the inevitabilities—along with the boundless possibilities—of life, believing wholeheartedly that being whatever and whoever you want is not reserved exclusively for the youngest among us. Dr. Gilberg brings his clinical experience to the table to help people create positive changes in their lives. Because you’re never too old—not only to dream, but also to see those dreams come true.

Fowler's Pottery: Excavation of a 19th Century Manufacturing Site in Mid Ulster
This monograph details the 2019 Centre for Community Archaeology excavation of Fowler’s Pottery, a nineteenth century pottery manufacturing site located in the townland of Derrybuoy, just outside Coalisland, Co. Tyrone. The site produced coarse earthenware pottery, a type which has received little academic attention to date, and this publication will therefore be of great use in advancing our limited knowledge of the coarse, utilitarian pottery used every day in nineteenth century households. Four distinct vessel forms were produced in four possible decorative styles, showing a specialised range of production which appears to have primarily targeted the rural market. Several key features of the pottery were also identified and are described at length, including the kiln, drying room and clay extraction pit, as well as large quantities of brick and kiln furniture. The narrative is greatly supplemented by historical records including personal letters, census returns and local testimony which offer a high-resolution view of precisely how and when the pottery operated. While other Post-Medieval pottery production sites have been excavated in Ireland previously, this is the second example of a nineteenth century kiln producing coarse earthenware pottery to be excavated, and the first to receive publication, meaning that this site is of critical importance to advancing our knowledge of local economy and manufacturing in the period.

Lawless Republic
'A vivid, visceral and crucial read for our times' BETTANY HUGHES'Wonderful and insightful' ADRIAN GOLDSWORTHYThe collapse of law and order in the last years of the Roman Republic told through the rise and fall of its most famous lawyer, Cicero. In its final decades, the Roman Republic was engulfed by crime. Cases of extortion, murder and insurrection gave an ambitious young lawyer named Cicero high-profile opportunities to litigate and forge a reputation as a master debater with a bright political future. In Lawless Republic, leading Roman historian Josiah Osgood recounts the legendary orator's ascent and fall, and his pivotal role in the republic's lurch toward autocracy. Cicero's first appearance in the courts came shortly after the end of a brutal civil war. After leveraging his fame as a lawyer to become a consul, he ruthlessly crushed a coup by suppressing the liberties of Roman citizens. The premiere legal mind of Rome came to argue that the pursuit of a higher justice could sometimes justify sweeping the law aside, laying the groundwork for Roman history's most famous act of political violence - the assassination of Julius Caesar. Lawless Republic vividly resurrects the spectacle of the courts in the time of Cicero and Caesar, showing how politics trumped the rule of law and sealed the fate of Rome.
Peace Be with You!
The first American Pope’s words for the world reveal themes to his leadership: peace, hope, and unity. "I would like this greeting of peace to resound in your hearts, in your families, among all people, wherever they may be, in every nation and throughout the world. Peace be with you!"With his first public appearance before the world, Pope Leo XIV expressed hope for an “unarmed and disarming” peace. Collected in this beautiful edition are the sermons and speeches Pope Leo XIV has delivered since his May 8, 2025, election, including: his First Apostolic blessing, delivered to the Central Loggia of the Vatican Basilica“Called to Be a Light of Hope,” his video message to the young people of Chicago and the whole world“The compass of natural law,” his Address to Members of the International Inter-Parliamentary Uniona special preface addressing U.S. readersand more. These first addresses convey some of Pope Leo XIV’s vision for the future: the primacy of God, communion in the Church, and the pursuit of peace. His countless calls for reconciliation are addressed not only to politics, but to the heart of every person: “Peace begins with each of us: from the way we look at others, listen to others, speak about others.” He shows us that unity is possible, and it begins in our hearts. In his own words, Pope Leo XIV welcomes us all into communion and calls us to act to protect our shared humanity and our precious home.
