True Devotion to the Blessed Virgin is one of the greatest and most
celebrated books ever written about Our Lady. Praised by popes,
mystics and theologians, this profound and powerful book presents
Mary as the essential and infallible key to the heart of Jesus.
Nowhere will you find a deeper and more life-changing book on that
quintessentially Catholic doctrine: the role of the Blessed Virgin
Mary in the life of the Christian and the life of the Church.
Unpublished during the saint s life time, it has enjoyed the
endorsement of the many outstanding popes the Church has been
blessed with since its discovery in 1842. John Paul II, in
particular, was its tireless champion, crediting True Devotion with
a turning-point in his spiritual life, adopting his motto, Totus
tuus, from St. Louis. The key to De Montfort s Marian spirituality
is that he considered Our Lady to be the infallible and chosen gate
to the heart of Christ To Jesus through Mary: it is Christ Himself
Who is at the center of True Devotion.

The emptiness and hypocrisy of bourgeois society and the power of
money were depicted with irony and sarcasm in short stories and
novellas written by Merimee in the 1830's and 1840's, including The
Double Misunderstanding,"Arsene Guillot,"and "The Abbe Aubain."In
the short stories "The Venus of Ille,""Colomba,"and "Carmen" (1845)
the author focuses on the clash between bourgeois morality and
primitive but more just moral norms."
Aaron Sisson, is a union official in the coal mines of the English
Midlands, trapped in a stale marriage. He is also an amateur, but
talented, flautist. At the start of the story he walks out on his
wife and two children and decides on impulse to visit Italy. His
dream is to become recognised as a professional musician. During
his travels he encounters and befriends Rawdon Lilly, a
Lawrence-like writer who nurses Aaron back to health when he is
taken ill in post-war London. Having recovered his health, Aaron
arrives in Florence. Here he moves in intellectual and artistic
circles, argues about politics, leadership and submission, and has
an affair with an aristocratic lady. The novel ends with an
anarchist or fascist explosion that destroys Aaron's instrument.
Many incidents in the novel have direct parallels with events in
Lawrence's own life.

"All Things Considered" features more than thirty columns that G.
K. Chesterton wrote for the London Daily News in the years before
World War I. Covering a variety of themes, each is written with the
same high quality that readers have come to expect of Chesterton.
In an essay on canvassing, Chesterton ponders some unusual double
standards. In another, he writes about daily annoyances. Another
covers literature. But regardless of the topic, each of the essays
in "All Things Considered" is the usual Chesterton masterpiece,
tempting the reader to track down even more of the 4,000 newspaper
columns penned by Chesterton during his career. G. K. Chesterton is
well known as a novelist, essayist, storyteller, poet, philosopher,
theologian, historian, artist, and critic. He's less well-known as
a journalist these days, yet all evidence indicates that he viewed
his work for the various newspapers as his primary raison-de-etre.
Therefore anyone interested in exploring the works of this colossal
genius should include a sampling of his newspaper columns, as
featured in "All Things Considered," along with all of his other
brilliant books.
Apologia Pro Vita Sua (Latin: A defense of his life) is the classic
defense by John Henry Newman of his religious opinions, published
in 1864 in response to what he saw as an unwarranted attack on him,
the Catholic priesthood, and Roman Catholic doctrine by Charles
Kingsley. The work quickly became a bestseller and has remained in
print to this day. The work was tremendously influential in turning
public opinion for Newman, and in establishing him as one of the
foremost exponents of Catholicism in England. After a brief and
unsatisfactory correspondence with Kingsley, Newman began work on
the Apologia. A revised version, with many passages re-written and
some parts omitted, was published in 1865.

The Faith of Our Fathers: A Plain Exposition and Vindication of the
Church Founded by Our Lord Jesus Christ is a book published in 1876
by archbishop James Gibbons, which became a best-selling conversion
manual in the United States and by 1980 was in its 111th printing.
In his 1917 preface to the 83rd edition, the Cardinal noted that
"since the first edition appeared, in 1876 up to the present time,
fourteen hundred thousand copies have been published and the
circulation of the book is constantly increasing." The work has
been translated into nearly all the languages of Europe. Well-known
agnostic, literary critic and fellow Baltimorean H. L. Mencken
wrote, in his survey of religion Treatise on the Gods, that "the
best exposition of Catholic doctrine is probably The Faith of our
Fathers', by the late Cardinal Gibbons."

Migration, Precarity, & Global Governance explores an
understudied, but central, area within contemporary studies of
globalisation and precarisation. It relates to the interface
between migration, global governance and the role of civil society,
with particular focus on the dilemmas and options of trade unions,
too often left off the agenda. The volume suggests that the trade
union movement is undergoing a fundamental debate about
revitalisation, which could play an important role in terms of the
economic, political and social integration of migrant workers, with
implications for the transformation of contemporary societies in
general. The volume adopts an interdisciplinary and comparative
approach, emphasizing the complexity of historically grounded
social relations. It examines international migration as it is
impacted by, and impacts on, globalization, social and political
struggles, and the recurring crisis of capitalism. The first part
of the book presents five complementary perspectives on the
political economy of migration, labour, and citizenship. Part Two
offers analyses of the relationship between labour unions and
migrant workers. Part Three explores the way trade unions, migrant
organisations, and other civil society groupings interact with an
incipient global governance regime relating to migration. It also
examines issues of state and non-state actors' accountability in
relation to human rights claims as well as the impact of the norm
of corporate social responsibility.
The teachings of Brother Lawrence (born Nicholas Herman), a
17th-century Carmelite monk, compiled by Father Joseph de Beaufort.
The compilation includes letters, as well as records of his
conversations kept by Brother Lawrence's interlocutors. The basic
theme of the book is the development of an awareness of the
presence of God.
