Summary

Hilaire Belloc's "The History of Catholic Europe" unfolds a sweeping narrative that intertwines the evolution of European civilization with the enduring influence of Catholicism. Through meticulous analysis and rich prose, Belloc examines pivotal events and figures, illustrating how Catholic doctrine and practice shaped political power, social structures, and cultural expressions from the early Middle Ages to the modern era. The book is characterized by its engaging blend of historiography and polemic, making it not only a chronicle but also a reflection on the vital role of the Church in forging a uniquely European identity. Belloc, a prolific writer and fervent Catholic apologist, was deeply influenced by his own experiences and convictions. Born in France and later settling in England, his life was marked by a passionate commitment to Catholicism and its principles. These convictions are evident throughout the text, where Belloc often counters secular interpretations of history, foregrounding the Church's moral and social teachings as intrinsic to Europe's legacy. This work is an essential read for anyone interested in the intersection of religion and history. Belloc'Äôs insightful perspectives offer a nuanced understanding of how Catholicism has shaped the European landscape, making it a compelling read for scholars, students, and casual readers alike.

    "This book is must [listening] . . . although it will at times shock and perhaps even offend the sensibilities of traditional therapists." —American Journal of Psychiatry 
 
 
 
This book brings together Erich Fromm's basic statements on the application of psychoanalytic theory to social dynamics. At the same time, it offers an image of man consonant with the hopes of radical humanism. 
 
 
 
The Crisis of Psychoanalysis is a collection of nine brilliant essays. Although his work is deeply rooted in Freudian theory, Fromm further develops Freud's doctrines by including both social and ethical dimensions, and applies his discoveries and insights to address the problems we face in society at large.

    A cutting-edge study of marriage’s transformative effects on same-sex relationships.  It is no secret that marriage rates in the United States are at an all-time low. Despite this significant decline, the institution of marriage endures in our society amid historic changes to its meaning and practice. How does the continuing strength of marriage impact the relationships of same-sex couples after the legalization of same-sex marriage?
 
Drawing on over one hundred interviews with LGBTQ+ people, Marriage Material reveals the transformative impact marriage equality has had on same-sex relationships. Sociologist Abigail Ocobock looks to same-sex couples across a wide age range to illuminate the complex ways institutional mechanisms work in tandem to govern the choices and behaviors of individuals with different marriage experiences. Ocobock examines both the influence of marriage on the dynamics of same-sex relationships and how LGBTQ+ people challenge heteronormative assumptions about marriage, highlighting the complex interplay between institutional constraint and individual agency.
 
Marriage Material presents a bold challenge to dominant scholarly and popular ideas about the decline of marriage, making clear that gaining access to legal marriage has transformed same-sex relationships, both for better and for worse.

This collection of bite-sized columns and stories is a practical guide to creating life and community from barren ground. Learn how to compost, drought-proof your beds, build parks from dumps, and harness ferments for richer soil, the secrets of xerophytes, the art of fermentation for plant health, and how to build a thriving garden from tyres, pallets, and recycled "graywater."

Filled with heartfelt stories like Cecil's transformation of a Currie Street dumping ground and practical advice for every season, this book is an essential companion for any gardener fighting their own odds. From the "Garden of the Week" at the Hayton Complex to the determined schoolchildren of the Feeding The Self project, these stories prove that a garden is more than food—it's a classroom, a community centre, and a beacon of hope. Packed with actionable advice on everything from graywater systems and winter warming to natural pest control, The Resilient Garden is a powerful call to pick up a trowel and start growing, no matter your circumstances. 
Whether you're nurturing seedlings on a windowsill or mobilizing a community to turn a dump into a park, this book shows you how to grow against the odds. Your toughest growing conditions are about to become your greatest advantage.
