Sinopsis

In "Jerusalem Explored," Ermete Pierotti presents an intricate examination of the historical and cultural layers that compose the ancient city of Jerusalem. Utilizing a rich and descriptive literary style, Pierotti intertwines personal narrative with meticulous archaeological observation, creating a compelling survey of the city's sacred sites and their significance through the ages. The book situates itself within the larger context of 19th-century explorations, echoing the era's fascination with biblical archaeology and the intersections of faith, history, and architecture. Ermete Pierotti, an Italian engineer and architect, was profoundly influenced by his travels and studies throughout the Middle East. His expertise in construction and appreciation for historical preservation uniquely positioned him to dive into the complexities of Jerusalem's architectural heritage. Pierotti's experiences allowed him to portray not only the physical structures but also the socio-cultural dynamics of Jerusalem during a period of burgeoning international interest in the Holy Land. This book is highly recommended for scholars of religious studies, history enthusiasts, and travelers alike. Pierotti's eloquent narratives and insightful analyses invite the reader to delve deeper into the fabric of Jerusalem, fostering a greater appreciation for its role as a crucible of civilizations. A perfect blend of scholarly rigor and accessible prose makes this work an essential addition to any library.

    The year 2009 marks the bicentennial of the founding of the first apostolic sisters in the United States: St. Elizabeth Ann Bayley Seton''s Sisters of Charity. To a great extent, when we think about what the Catholic church in America is all about, we think about the contributions of sisters––the parochial school system, hundreds of hospitals, untold numbers of charitable organizations founded and staffed by sisters. These ministries have transformed the lives of millions of Catholics and the social and humanitarian character of the nation itself.  Now, you can explore the remarkable personal stories of these sisters, and the great ministries and institutions they made possible. This vital history has until now been largely inaccessible. Through reading hundreds of books, visiting over 6-dozen congregational archives, and interviewing countless sisters, Professor Thompson is able to share with you a wealth of knowledge and insight.  Through 18 lively rich lectures, you''ll explore the origins of women''s religious life, the often treacherous foundlings of the first North American communities, the lives of pioneer nuns, ethnic and assimilation issues, tensions with clergy, Vatican II and its impacts, current circumstances, and much more.  You will find this course surprising, fascinating, well researched, and enjoyable.This course is part of the Learn25 collection and includes a free PDF study guide.

    Women around the world do extremely well when it comes to their education. They graduate at higher rates than men and have higher average GPAs. But then a strange thing happens: upon entering the workforce, they immediately lose their advantage. When the first promotions come around, the slide continues. For every 100 men promoted to manager, only 81 women overall and 77 women of color get promoted. 
     
     
     
    This is what McKinsey senior partners Kweilin Ellingrud, Lareina Yee, and María del Mar Martínez call "the broken rung," and its effects compound throughout women's careers. In this groundbreaking book, the authors reveal the problem's underlying cause: while about half of a person's lifetime earnings come from education and half from work experience, men get more value from their experience than women do. It is also here, in one's work experience, that the solution lies: women need to build their "experience capital" to level the playing field and maximize their earning potential. 
     
     
     
    The book combines over a decade of research, personal conversations with more than fifty remarkable leaders, and the authors' own rich experiences as leaders at McKinsey. They weave data on the potential pitfalls with inspiring and instructive stories of women who have climbed over the broken rung using strategies that increased their experience capital. 
     
     
     
    Stay tuned at the end of the audiobook for an exclusive author conversation.

    The '91 Louisiana Governor's race was supposed to be forgettable. But when former KKK Grand Wizard David Duke shocked the nation by ousting incumbent Republican Governor Buddy Roemer in the primary, the world took notice. Democrat Edwin Edwards, a former three-term governor and two-time corruption defendant, was left alone to face Duke in the general election—and he was going to lose. 
     
     
     
    Then a little-known state committeewoman stepped in with evidence of Duke's nefarious past. Could her evidence be enough to sway the minds of fired-up voters, or would Louisiana welcome a far-right radical into the highest office in the state? 
     
     
     
    Journalist Brian Fairbanks explores how the final showdown between Duke and Edwards in November 1991 led to a major shift in our national politics, as well as the rise of the radical right and white supremacist groups, and how history repeated itself in the 2016 presidential election. The story of these political "wizards," almost forgotten by history, remains eerily prescient and disturbingly relevant.
