  “A compelling read.” Frank Sasinowski, M.S., M.P.H., J.D., recipient of 2021 Pontifical Hero Award for Inspiration. 
  “Brilliant and insightful.” Tom Eberle, Ph.D., former Director of the Living School, Center for Action and Contemplation. 
  Sarah Lutterodt’s inspirational memoir, Worlds Apart, traces her life from a sheltered post-war childhood in southern England through transformative years teaching university in Ghana to the hustle and bustle of the American business world and her return to Ghana in retirement. 
  The memoir is a testament to the power of love and perseverance as, with her Ghanaian husband, Lutterodt raises a biracial family in racially traumatized America, while forging a career in a male-dominated industry. In telling her story, she delves deeply into the complexities of identity, belonging, and the quest for understanding across cultures and continents. 
  Proceeds from the sale of Worlds Apart will be used to benefit development projects at the Nii Sowa Din Memorial cluster of schools in Ashaley Botwe, Ghana.

  When Nashville identified its first case of coronavirus in March 2020, the city was between Public Health Department directors and as unprepared as the rest of the world for what was to come. Dr. Alex Jahangir, a trauma surgeon acting at that time as chair of the Metro Nashville Board of Health, unexpectedly found himself head of the city's COVID-19 Task Force and responsible for leading it through uncharted waters. 
   
   
   
  What followed was a year of unprecedented challenge and scrutiny. Jahangir, who immigrated to the United States from Iran at age six, grew up in Nashville. He thought he knew the city well. But the pandemic laid bare ethnic, racial, and cultural tensions that daily threatened to derail what should have been a collective effort to keep residents healthy and safe. 
   
   
   
  Hot Spot is Jahangir's narrative of the first year of COVID, derived from his op notes (the journal-like entries surgeons often keep following operations) and expanded to include his personal reflections and a glimpse into the inner sanctums of city and state governance in crisis.

  St Patrick is one of the most famous saints of all time. Thousands of people with no direct Irish connection celebrate St Patrick's Day, parading along the streets of New York, Boston, Chicago, San Antonio, Texas and Sydney, where St Patrick's Day is a national holiday. These celebrations are the latest version of the cult of St Patrick, which has persisted in different forms since his death on 17 March, 462AD. 
  But who was St Patrick, and how much of what we know about him is fact, how much legend? This book looks at the historical man and the evidence of his writings, the myths and the apocryphal stories, and describes the social changes that led in the 18th century to his emergence as a symbol of Irish nationalism. Patrick: From Patron Saint to Modern Influencer is a fascinating and lively portrait of the man who converted pagan Ireland to Christianity – a fresh, sometimes startling examination of the folklore and traditions that have developed around the saint through the ages.
  First published in 1989 in the UK and USA, this fully updated edition features new photographs and illustrations and will be an indispensable companion for anyone seeking to understand the role of St Patrick in forging modern Irish identity.
