  God Is in the Details (and So Is Thomas Aquinas): How to Weaponize Aristotle for the Church and Still Be Canonized 
  Ever wanted to read 3,000 pages of systematic theology written by a man who thought angel transportation was a valid academic subject? No? Great—this book is for you. 
  This is not a polite introduction to Thomas Aquinas. This is a fully sarcastic, gloriously disrespectful roast of the chubbiest, holiest overachiever in Catholic history—a Dominican friar who took Aristotle’s metaphysics, added Latin, guilt, and divine purpose, and built the intellectual operating system of the Catholic Church. 
  Inside, you’ll find: 
  A breakdown of Aquinas’ Five Ways to Prove God Exists (spoiler: it's always God) 
  An introduction to natural law, also known as “why everything you enjoy is probably a sin” 
  His obsession with angel hierarchies, because theology needed a Pokémon-style ranking system 
  The Summa Theologica, or what happens when you try to explain God using spreadsheet logic and footnote warfare 
  Why Aquinas is still being cited in modern debates about abortion, bioethics, transubstantiation, and leggings 
  From his flaming-stick celibacy defense to the fact that he nearly out-argued Augustine with a smile, Aquinas is the blueprint for theological overachievement—and this book is the spiritual field guide you didn’t know you needed. 
  Perfect for: 
  Recovering theology majors 
  Catholic guilt survivors 
  Philosophy nerds who love a good roast 
  Anyone trying to understand how Aquinas still dominates moral debates despite being very, very dead 
  Come for the metaphysics, stay for the footnote-based moral mic drops. 
  Thomas Aquinas: he came, he theologized, he canonized himself through sheer force of logic.

  The California Days of Ralph...

  In the spring of 1871, Ralph Waldo Emerson boarded a train in Concord, Massachusetts, bound for a month-and-a-half-long tour of California—an interlude that became one of the highlights of his life. On their journey across the American West, he and his companions would take in breathtaking vistas in the Rockies and along the Pacific Coast, speak with a young John Muir in the Yosemite Valley, stop off in Salt Lake City for a meeting with Brigham Young, and encounter a diversity of communities and cultures that would challenge their Yankee prejudices. 
   
   
   
  Based on original research employing newly discovered documents, The California Days of Ralph Waldo Emerson maps the public story of this group's travels onto the private story of Emerson's final years, as aphasia set in and increasingly robbed him of his words. Engaging and compelling, this travelogue makes it clear that Emerson was still capable of wonder, surprise, and friendship, debunking the presumed darkness of his last decade.

  Following Caesar - From Rome to...

  In 66 BC, young, ambitious Julius Caesar, seeking recognition and authority, became the curator of the Via Appia. He borrowed significant sums to restore the ancient highway. It was a way to curry favor from Roman citizens in villages along the route, built from Rome to Brindisi between 312-191 BC. After achieving greatness in Rome and the far reaches of Gaul, he led armies along this road to battle enemies in Roman civil wars. And then, across the Adriatic Sea, he joined Via Appia's sister road, the Via Egnatia that began in today's Albania. Other armies followed these two roads that eventually connected Rome to Byzantium, today's Istanbul. In the early second century AD, the emperor Trajan charted a new coastal route between Benevento and Brindisi, later called the Via Traiana. 
   
   
   
  Today, short stretches of the original three roads can be seen in the ruins of ancient Roman cities, now preserved as archaeological wonders, and through the countryside near, and sometimes under, modern highways. Following those routes is the purpose of treading along the path that Caesar and so many others took over the early centuries. Modern eyes, seeing through the mists of more than two thousand years of history, lead the traveler along these three roads coursing through six countries between Rome and Istanbul.
