Book Description
Introduction Standing as a vigilant watchman on the wall of existence, I found an undeniable calling to pen down the thoughts that surged within me as the clock struck midnight, transitioning from 2023 to 2024 with an almost imperceptible murmur. The echoes of celebratory fireworks resonated, yet there was an unusual calm around the farm, a hushed symphony compared to the boisterous revelries of previous years. Lying in bed, I contemplated the mysteries concealed within the threshold of another year, pondering its potential revelations. Having endured three arduous months in hospitals, undergoing operations and rehabilitation in the crucible of 2023, I found myself in the quietude of my bed, having narrowly evaded the clutches of death. I had earnestly prayed for an end, but both God and family intervened, denying me the solace of death. Reflecting on the past trials and tribulations, I discovered gratitude in the resounding "no" that echoed through my moments of despair. However, the role of a watchman is not to succumb to slumber or bask in retrospection; rather, it is a divine summons to a higher purpose. As I lay there, the clock ticking towards midnight, I sensed a divine imperative, a calling beyond the tranquility of the moment. Having skirted the edges of mortality thrice before the tumultuous year of 2023, I recognized a greater mission unfolding. Thus, this book emerges as a testament to that calling. Residing on Crescent Hill, a humble farm in Central Texas atop a hill, I perceive the world from this vantage point, offering insights into the impending changes. It is a chronicle of what lies ahead, a forewarning of the looming transformation that awaits us. Amidst the tranquility of Crescent Hill, I find myself compelled to address the imminent shift in epochs. While the forthcoming era promises a brighter dawn, it also portends considerable tribulation for humanity. The journey towards that utopian horizon is fraught with challenges, and though the prospect of peace is within reach, it remains elusive, shackled by the unprepared will of mankind. As the clock ticks away, the narrative unveils with a profound assertion: "WHAT MAN WON’T DO, THE UNIVERSE WILL." This could have been the title itself, encapsulating the essence of the book. Delving into the integration of universal cycles and human endeavors over the next seven years, the narrative begins by elucidating the cyclical nature of the universe, drawing parallels with the seasons—life's perpetual cycle of growth, fruition, decay, and renewal.

Book Description
Now in its third edition, Beyond a Shadow of a Diet is the most comprehensive book available for professionals working with clients who struggle with binge and emotional eating, chronic dieting, and body image.

Drawing from the attuned eating and weight inclusive frameworks, this book serves as an essential resource for both new clinicians and those interested in shifting their clinical approach. Trauma-informed and filled with compelling client stories and step-by-step strategies, Beyond a Shadow of a Diet offers professionals and their clients a positive, evidence-based model for making peace with food, their bodies, and themselves.

Drawing on a range of expert contributions, this book explores how the European Green Deal is being deployed in practice and observes how the EU tries to promote the protection of the environment in third countries. This book begins by assessing the state of the art in terms of the key conceptual issues and analyses sectoral initiatives that are particularly relevant for the deployment of the European Green Deal external dimensions. These include the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism, the EU’s regulatory action in the control of maritime emissions, the 2030 Biodiversity Strategy, the Deforestation Initiative, the Zero Pollution Initiative, the From Farm to Fork Initiative, and the Climate Neutrality and Clean Energy Initiative in the context of the Energy Charter Treaty. Next, the authors deal with horizontal aspects of the European Green Deal that also have external dimensions, such as the Green Deal Diplomacy, the Green Public Procurement, funding measures, initiatives related to corporate sustainability and due diligence, and the implementation and enforcement of EU environmental law. This volume concludes with a cross-cutting analysis, focusing on how the EU can strengthen the impact of its normative power on international environmental governance, while also noting its limitations. Deploying the European Green Deal will be of great interest to students and scholars of international and EU environmental law and environmental policy and governance.
