Catholicism: A Very Short Introduction, Second Edition

"Despite a long history of external threats and internal strife, the Roman Catholic Church remains a vast and influential presence in our modern world. But what were its origins, and how has it changed and adapted over the centuries? After Pope Benedict XVI dramatically resigned in early 2013 (the first Pope to resign since the fifteenth century), and Pope Francis was elected, many wondered what direction he would lead the Church in, and whether the Church could modernize in the face of the demands of our world. In this Very Short Introduction, Gerald O'Collins covers the history of the Catholic Church, and considers some of the key issues facing Catholicism today, such as the catastrophic revelations about clerical child abuse, the impact of the growth of Islam, and the destruction in the Middle East of ancient Christian church communities. He also shows how Catholics are being increasingly challenged by an opposition between their traditional Christian values and rights which are endorsed by the secular world, such as the right to physician assisted suicide or same-sex marriage, and considers the future for the largest and oldest institution in the world."

At the Feet of the Sun

"Cliopher Mdang has been appointed Viceroy of Zunidh by his beloved Radiancy, the Last Emperor, who has now left him behind in the Palace to safeguard the world during his absence on a quest to find an appropriately magical heir. When he returns, he will abdicate, and Cliopher will at last retire, satisfied with having achieved most of his life's political goals—even if his long-suppressed personal dreams are starting to bubble up. (Surely he used to have hobbies besides running the government?) All he has to do is wait patiently for his lord's return . . . until adventure quite literally hits him from behind, and what was once safely hypothetical becomes intensely real. Cliopher has always followed the stars of his chosen course: the epic oral histories of his people, the poetry of the rebel poet Fitzroy Angursell, decades of devotion and service to his Radiancy . . . They were enough to change the world. But are they enough to guide Cliopher home?"

Memory: A Very Short Introduction 2nd Edition

"How can we remember certain events from our childhood as if they happened yesterday and then forget we did last week? Why does our memory seem to work well at some times but not at others? What happens when it goes wrong? Can memory be improved or manipulated by psychological techniques, or even 'brain implants'? How does memory grow and change as we age? And what of so-called 'recovered' memories? This Very Short Introduction brings together the latest research in neuroscience and psychology to address these important questions around the science of memory. It weaves case studies, anecdotes, and even literature and philosophy into its explanations of how memory works and why we can't live without it. This edition includes major updates that take into account recent developments in our understanding of memory, especially in areas such as sleep and healthy aging."

Life Lessons for Lawyers: Guidance for the Mind and Soul

"This book draws on the author's professional experience and published works in the areas of leadership, philosophy, psychology, and management (amongst others) to discuss the 'softer' qualities of being a good lawyer—qualities which are not taught or widely documented, such as humility, confidence, personal relationships, and our dreams and vision. The book demonstrates that we can be individuals within the law and outlines qualities that can both enrich our work and our souls. A theme throughout many of the chapters is to encourage us to think and act differently to what we may have been taught, what others expect, or what we ourselves believe. To know that regardless of our strengths and weaknesses, we are unique individuals in the law. This book offers wisdom and pragmatic support for lawyers and anyone involved with the law. Covering a range of issues, it includes advice on: maintaining one's passions inside and outside law; dealing with perfectionist tendencies, anxiety, and depression; managing our fears and dealing with mistakes; striving for an honorable path; understanding and leveraging the organizational matrix; acting as a moral voice in your organization; leading with humility and vulnerability; taking breaks and reconnecting with ourselves; and navigating structural inequalities in one's career."

The Hands of the Emperor

"An impulsive word can start a war. A timely word can stop one. A simple act of friendship can change the course of history. Cliopher Mdang is the personal secretary of the Last Emperor of Astandalas, the Lord of Rising Stars, the Lord Magus of Zunidh, the Sun-on-Earth, the god. He has spent more time with the Emperor of Astandalas than any other person. He has never once touched his lord. He has never called him by name. He has never initiated a conversation. One day Cliopher invites the Sun-on-Earth home to the proverbially remote Vangavaye-ve for a holiday. The mere invitation could have seen Cliopher executed for blasphemy. The acceptance upends the world."

Rumors of Her Death

"The most dangerous lies are the ones we tell ourselves. When the man calling himself Archie Leach begins spotting his dead lover at random locations around the city, he must finally stop running and face the truth—which may not be quite as he's remembered it all these years. An American living in Australia, Archie's had so many aliases that when he wakes up handcuffed to a hospital bed, he almost forgets which one he's supposed to use. With his delivery job derailed by a brief and inconvenient death, he's earned the wrath of his underworld boss, landing him an exorbitant repayment plan and the commandeering of his apartment for everything from corpse storage to Tuesday night yoga class. While recovering from his injuries, Archie is roped into dog-sitting for his new neighbor, Nisha, and a reluctant friendship ensues. She introduces Archie to the strange world of the Orrery, a nine-story mecca of surreal hedonism whose ninth level promises to hold the answers they're both seeking. But Nisha has spun plenty of her own deceptions, as Archie realizes too late. At this rate, they may both end up dead without ever knowing who's been fooling whom."

The Fake Child: The Lady Mortician's Visions, Book 2

"From author Helen Goltz comes the second book in the exciting series about love, fate, and putting to rest more than the dead, with a hint of magic, mystery, and visions. Miss Phoebe Astin of The Economic Undertaker is not just a talented mortician, but a medium for the spirit world and often enjoys the company of her clients before they move on to the next world. When her funeral director brothers, Julius and Ambrose, bring the deceased Mrs. Henriette Tochborn to her workroom, there is much interest as the lady was quite well known for her tragedy—twenty years prior, her child was kidnapped and never found. Prior to her death, to mark the twentieth anniversary, Mrs. Tochborn placed an advertisement in the paper requesting information, or for her child, if he was still alive, to come forth. Two men responded—a butcher and an asylum inmate—claiming to be that very child. Unfortunately, illness took Mrs. Tochborn's life before their claims could be tested. But that's not stopping the claimants from trying for their rightful inheritance. Phoebe is surprised when Mrs. Tochborn appears in spirit form, asking Phoebe for help. The deceased lady still has work to do amongst the living, and now, having crossed over to the other side, Mrs. Tochborn knows the truth of what happened to her son. Working with Detective Harland Stone, who has faith in Phoebe's visions and a keen interest in the lady herself, and journalist Miss Lilly Lewis, a case that has been cold for twenty years is suddenly warming up. Meanwhile, Julius and Ambrose Astin struggle to maintain their professional undertaker countenance at a funeral that goes awry, and Julius's affection for a certain lady becomes hard to ignore. There is murder, love, and mystery afoot, and it appears that for the Astin family, being dead is no excuse for letting a crime go unpunished! The Fake Child includes a hint of paranormal, fantasy, and visions; a family with a funeral business and all the quirks that come with it; a beautiful and intriguing medium who is not a clairvoyant but has psychic leanings; a handsome detective who is happy to have all the help he can get to solve the mystery; two handsome undertaker brothers who have their share of adventure and romance; and historical detail accurately researched and set in 1890 Australia."
