  The history of America cannot be told without the history of religion, the history of American religion cannot be told without the history of Catholicism, and the history of Catholicism in America cannot be told without the history of Jesuits in America. 
   
   
   
  Jesuits in the United States offers a panoramic overview of the Jesuit order in the United States from the colonial era to the present. David J. Collins, SJ, describes the development of the Jesuit order in the US against the background of American religious, cultural, and social history. He covers the papacy's suppression of the order and its restoration period. The author also compares Jesuit activities in the US to those in Europe and, by the twentieth century, to those around the world, as the political and religious connections between the US and the world, especially Latin America, grow. Collins also reflects on the future of the order in light of its past. 
   
   
   
  Listeners familiar with the Jesuit tradition and those who are new to it will learn from this book's distinctive and modern perspective—using twenty-first century scholarship on Jesuit slaveholding, the sexual abuse crisis, and other contemporary issues—on 500 years of Jesuit history in the United States.

  Renewal - Liberal Protestants...

  Mark Wild

  In the decades following World War II, a movement of clergy and laity sought to restore liberal Protestantism to the center of American urban life. Chastened by their failure to avert war and the Holocaust, and troubled by missionaries’ complicity with colonial regimes, they redirected their energies back home. 
   
  Renewal explores the rise and fall of this movement, which began as an effort to restore the church’s standing but wound up as nothing less than an openhearted crusade to remake our nation’s cities. These campaigns reached beyond church walls to build or lend a hand to scores of organizations fighting for welfare, social justice, and community empowerment among the increasingly nonwhite urban working class. Church leaders extended their efforts far beyond traditional evangelicalism, often dovetailing with many of the contemporaneous social currents coursing through the nation, including black freedom movements and the War on Poverty. 
   
  Renewal illuminates the overlooked story of how religious institutions both shaped and were shaped by postwar urban America.

  Together is better, but only if you turn up and lean in. 
  High performing teams are teams in synergy - where the whole is greater than the sum 
  of its parts. 
  This is especially important for directors and leadership teams who face unprecedented 
  market dynamics. Their individual and organisational success depends on their capacity 
  to form bonds of trust that allow them to show up, have courage, welcome open dissent, 
  and explore new solutions to adaptive challenges. 
  In this book, high performance leadership coach Stephanie Bown explores team synergy 
  as the intersection between independent thinking and collective capacity with the goal 
  of amplifying the potential for great people to come together to achieve amazing things.

  This illuminating account of Britain as a Roman province sets the Roman conquest and occupation of the island within the larger context of Romano-British society and how it functioned. 
   
   
   
  The author first outlines events from the Iron Age period immediately preceding the conquest in AD 43 to the emperor Honorius's advice to the Britons in 410 to fend for themselves. He then tackles the issues facing Britons after the absorption of their culture by an invading army, including the role of government and the military in the province, religion, commerce, technology, and daily life. For this revised edition, the text and bibliography have been updated to reflect the latest discoveries and research in recent years.
