  What Happened to Catholicism -...

  It is clear that since the Second Vatican Council, the Church has been plagued with terrible doctrinal and liturgical confusion that has contributed to the worst crisis in the Church since the Arian crisis, and perhaps the worst in history. This incisive book examines the often-overlooked wisdom of Pope St. Pius X on modernism, the synthesis of all heresies, found in his landmark encyclical Pascendi Dominici Gregis. 
  Although Pascendi is a momentous document that lays out virtually all the doctrinal errors we now find, it seems as if St. Pius X’s words have been ignored. Kennedy Hall translates the most salient points of this authoritative work into a readable format so that you can identify the grave problems facing us, problems that were illuminated more than one hundred years ago. 
  In this thought-provoking audiobook, you will find:Three ways to identify a heretic, according to moral theologiansThe Four Horsemen of the “Philosophical Apocalypse”How modernism is like a serial killer, insidiously destroying minds and heartsWhat the Church really teaches regarding scriptural interpretation and personal beliefsHow catechesis is harmed by contemporary thoughtWhy liturgy must center on God, not on man 
  Most Catholics with orthodox faith can sense the prevailing errors but perhaps cannot put into words what they know to be true by sound Catholic intuition. This book will help clarify important concerns, from the relationship between faith and science to the dangers of relativism and subjectivism, so that you can form yourself and your family to withstand this current crisis.

  Native American Resistance in...

  Throughout history, there have been men of war and men of peace, but few have actually had a war named after them. One of them was Pontiac, also known as Obwandiyag, an Odawa chief who left his mark on history by continuing the battle against the British after their official triumph during the French and Indian War. While modern historians question how important Pontiac’s role was in shaping America’s destiny, his leadership during Pontiac’s War was seen at that time as important enough to warrant significant articles and even a few 18th century books. Since these books were written by the British, or at least men who supported their cause, the descriptions of Pontiac were often not complimentary. Likewise, 19th century authors tended to portray him as something of an evil genius who plotted against the British and then drove his people into battle.  
  For the most part, the conflicts that followed consisted mostly of the Native Americans suffering defeat in the face of a better-equipped adversary, interspersed with binding treaties, which, on the side of the federal government, proved not very binding at all. Occasionally, however, there arose a Native American leader of such ability that such defeats were temporarily reversed, and Little Turtle, the war chief of the Miami tribe, was one such man.  
  The Battle of Tippecanoe, fought on November 7, 1811 near present-day Lafayette, Indiana, involved forces of fewer than 2,000 Native American warriors and white soldiers, and only about 300 men were killed or wounded on both sides. Given those numbers, it’s apparent that the battle was far from being a Saratoga or a Gettysburg in terms of its scale or significance as an historical turning point, yet it was one of the most important battles in the early 19th century.

  Chesapeake Oysters - The Bay's...

  Chesapeake oysters are part of the legacy of the area, history on the half-shell. Hear of their beginning (foot-long bivalves!) through cultivation today. 
   
   
   
  The eastern oyster, the humble bivalve and delicious treat, are the living bones of the Chesapeake, as well as the ecological and historical lifeblood of the region. When colonists first sailed these impossibly abundant shores, they described massive shoals of foot-long oysters but the bottomless appetite of the Gilded Age and great fleets of skipjacks took their toll. Disease, environmental pressures and overconsumption decimated the population by the end of the twentieth century. While Virginia turned to bottom-leasing, passionate debate continues in Maryland among scientists and oystermen whether aquaculture or wild harvesting is the better way forward. Today, boutique oyster farming in the Bay is sustainably meeting the culinary demand of a new generation of connoisseurs. With careful research and interviews with experts, author Kate Livie presents this dynamic story and a glimpse of what the future may hold.

  "Dual Calling: Pulpit and Politics" by Shirley H. Clark powerfully attests to conviction, persistence, and divine intent. From subjective struggles to unpredictable callings, this book indicates how God's hand guides even the most problematic courses. The journey commences with unyielding faith through betrayal and difficulty, underscoring how prayer and trust in God's plan provide strength. The book draws conceptions keenly from scripture to illustrate how faith, like a mustard seed, can develop into a life of purpose. As an educator, Clark shares experiences working with children with special needs, exhibiting how patience, prayer, and trust in God shape a calling to serve. The narrative then evolves into an exceptional metamorphosis—answering both a ministerial and political calling and ascertaining that faith can surpass conventional peripheries. This account analyzes leadership, obedience, and the consonance between faith and governance from the pulpit to the county council. Through every ordeal and accomplishment, it highlights how God's plan flares unexpectedly, reminiscing to embrace purpose with courage and belief.

  The Illicit Global Economy -...

  The illicit global economy encompasses cross-border flows of goods, people, money, and information unauthorized by either the sending or receiving country. Typically, this means flows that are prohibited, regulated, stolen, or counterfeit. Some of these flows are obscure or mostly a law enforcement nuisance, but others receive enormous policy and media attention. Still others have severe environmental impacts and security implications. Collectively, these flows reflect the illicit side of the global economy.The Illicit Global Economy: What Everyone Needs to Know® answers the key questions about how illicit global markets are structured and operate, how they intersect with state institutions and practices, how they interact with the legal economy, and how they shape and are shaped by domestic and international politics. This pithy yet authoritative primer helps listeners make sense of a crucial part of the global economy that is too often either neglected or distorted. In this regard, an underlying theme in the book is the need for a more historically informed critical perspective that challenges the many myths and misconceptions about the illicit global economy that are all-too-prevalent in contemporary media accounts, Hollywood depictions, popular books, and policy debates.
