Sinopse

In "The Popish Plot," John Pollock masterfully recounts the tumultuous events of the late 17th century England, centered around the infamous conspiracy against the Protestant establishment purportedly orchestrated by Catholics. With a narrative rich in historical detail and vivid characterization, Pollock employs a compelling mix of narrative history and dramatic reconstruction, allowing readers to not only engage with the facts but also empathize with the emotions and tensions of the era. The book positions itself within the broader context of religious conflict and political strife, illustrating how paranoia and misinformation can shape public opinion and policy. John Pollock, a revered historian and biographer, has long been fascinated by the interplay of faith and politics, a theme that strongly resonates throughout his work. His deep understanding of 17th-century British history, combined with his knack for storytelling, allows him to unfold the complexities surrounding the Popish Plot, exploring how it influenced the socio-political landscape of the time and the lives of individuals caught in its wake. This meticulously researched and engagingly written book is essential for anyone interested in the intricate dynamics of historical conflicts and the impact of religious intolerance. Pollock's vivid portrayal of the period offers invaluable insights, making "The Popish Plot" a must-read for scholars, historians, and general readers alike.

    In The End of Ambition, Steven A. Cook charts the course of the United States' encounter with the Middle East from the mid-twentieth century through the present day. Looking back, Cook makes a bold claim: the US was--despite setbacks and moral costs--successful. That record of achievement began to unravel in the early 1990s when policymakers embarked upon a set of overly ambitious policies to remake the Middle East. Cook highlights that calls to withdraw from the region are rash given the important interests the US maintains in the region. Yet, he also underscores how those interests are changing and explores alternatives to America's current approach to the Middle East against the backdrop of political uncertainty in the United States and a changing global order. 
     
    A clear-headed vision for the United States' role in the Middle East that highlights the changing nature of US national interests and the challenges of grand strategizing at a time of profound change in the international order.

    Bearing the Unbearable is a Foreword INDIES Award-Winner — Gold Medal for Self-Help. 
    When a loved one dies, the pain of loss can feel unbearable—especially in the case of a traumatizing death that leaves us shouting, “NO!” with every fiber of our body. The process of grieving can feel wild and nonlinear—and often lasts for much longer than other people, the nonbereaved, tell us it should. 
    Organized into fifty-two short chapters, Bearing the Unbearable is a companion for life’s most difficult times, revealing how grief can open our hearts to connection, compassion, and the very essence of our shared humanity. Dr. Joanne Cacciatore—bereavement educator, researcher, Zen priest, and leading counselor in the field—accompanies us along the heartbreaking path of love, loss, and grief. Through moving stories of her encounters with grief over decades of supporting individuals, families, and communities—as well as her own experience with loss—Cacciatore opens a space to process, integrate, and deeply honor our grief. 
    Not just for the bereaved, Bearing the Unbearable will be required reading for grief counselors, therapists and social workers, clergy of all varieties, educators, academics, and medical professionals. Organized into fifty-two accessible and stand-alone chapters, this book is also perfect for being read aloud in support groups.
