For more than 800 years scholars have pointed to the dark augury
having to do with "the last Pope." The prophecy, taken from St.
Malachy's "Prophecy of the Popes," is among a list of verses
predicting each of the Roman Catholic popes from Pope Celestine II
to the final pope, "Peter the Roman," whose reign would end in the
destruction of Rome. First published in 1595, the prophecies were
attributed to St. Malachy by a Benedictine historian named Arnold
de Wyon, who recorded them in his book, Lignum Vitae. Tradition
holds that Malachy had been called to Rome by Pope Innocent II, and
while there, he experienced the vision of the future popes,
including the last one, which he wrote down in a series of cryptic
phrases. According to the prophecy, the next pope (following
Benedict XVI) is to be the final pontiff, Petrus Romanus or Peter
the Roman. The idea by some Catholics that the next pope on St.
Malachy's list heralds the beginning of "great apostasy" followed
by "great tribulation" sets the stage for the imminent unfolding of
apocalyptic events, something many non-Catholics would agree with.
This would give rise to a false prophet, who according to the book
of Revelation leads the world's religious communities into
embracing a political leader known as Antichrist. In recent
history, several Catholic priests--some deceased now--have been
surprisingly outspoken on what they have seen as this inevitable
danger rising from within the ranks of Catholicism as a result of
secret satanic "Illuminati-Masonic" influences. These priests claim
secret knowledge of an multinational power elite and occult
hierarchy operating behind supranatural and global political
machinations. Among this secret society are sinister false Catholic
infiltrators who understand that, as the Roman Catholic Church
represents one-sixth of the world's population and over half of all
Christians, it is indispensable for controlling future global
elements in matters of church and state and the fulfillment of a
diabolical plan they call "Alta Vendetta," which is set to assume
control of the papacy and to help the False Prophet deceive the
world's faithful (including Catholics) into worshipping Antichrist.
As stated by Dr. Michael Lake on the front cover, Catholic and
evangelical scholars have dreaded this moment for centuries.
Unfortunately, as readers will learn, time for avoiding Peter the
Roman just ran out.
The ultimate colour-by-colour flower reference guide - from New York's pre-eminent floral designers, Putnam and Putnam
Planning a wedding, a dinner, a birthday party, a romantic evening, holiday entertaining, or just arranging flowers for the pleasure of having them, more often than not your creative process begins with thinking about the colour of the flowers that you want. To help you find what you are looking for, Flower Colour Guide is the first reference book to organize flower types by colour, with an emphasis on seasonality and creative colour schemes - and the results are stunning in their sheer variety. What Pantone is to colour, Flower Colour Guide is to flowers.
Showcasing 400 flowers at their peak, with stunning photography taken by Putnam & Putnam in their Brooklyn studio, this guide includes an appendix featuring perforated pages, with tips on flower care, notes on how to prepare vessels and a list of suggested colour schemes. A great gift to give, or to have for oneself, the book speaks to the most seasoned flower enthusiasts as well as those just beginning to explore the possibilities of arranging flowers.
Michael and Darroch Putnam have built a reputation for romantic, dramatic floral arrangements and installations using colour as their guiding principle - here, they share their knowledge with readers worldwide: "This is the book we wished we had when we started doing flowers."
Unique among nations, America is deeply religious, religiously
diverse, and remarkably tolerant. In recent decades, however, the
nation's religious landscape has undergone several seismic shocks.
"American Grace "is an authoritative, fascinating examination of
what precipitated these changes and the role that religion plays in
contemporary American society.
Although there is growing polarization between religious
conservatives and secular liberals today, at the same time personal
interfaith ties are strengthening. Interfaith marriage has
increased, and religious identities have become more fluid. More
people than ever are friendly with someone of a different faith or
no faith at all. Putnam and Campbell show how this denser web of
personal ties brings greater interfaith tolerance, despite the
so-called culture wars.
Based on two of the most comprehensive surveys ever conducted on
religion and public life in America (and with a new epilogue based
on a third survey), "American Grace "is an indispensable book about
American religious life, essential for understanding our nation
today.
A groundbreaking, gorgeous board book that uses photographs of
flowers to introduce children to the rich variety of colour This
unique book is the first to fully explore the enormous variety of
shades colours have, going far beyond the basic colours that are
usually introduced to children in early concept books. Showcasing
seven stunning floral arrangements, with a flower key at the back
of the book, and clever gatefolds as well as search-and-find
prompts for interactivity, fold-out pages open to reveal beautiful
arrangements of flowers, in a variety of hues, organised in
gradation, showing the extraordinary of rich variety of colour in
the natural world. The book features seven colour pairs to
illustrate the full spectrum, revealing the astonishing range of
shades found between familiar colours - and showing how colours
connect to one another. This, the debut children's book by New
York's go-to florists Putnam & Putnam, the acclaimed floral
design studio who are also the bestselling authors of the
ground-breaking Flower Colour Guide and Flower Colour Theory,
features their own acclaimed photography, taken specially for this
book. Ages 2-5
The novel coronavirus and the resultant COVID-19 pandemic have
disproportionately affected older adults in terms of the number of
lives lost, concerns about safety of institutional and home and
community-based care, the impact of isolation and seclusion, and
the ability to participate and engage in meaningful and
contributory activities. The pandemic has uncovered layers of
ageism that are embedded in societies globally and challenges us
all to address the pervasive individual, institutional, and
structural biases that permit age-based discrimination. Within the
interdisciplinary field of gerontology, social workers lead
organizations, provide direct services and supports, facilitate
community engagement and participation, and deliver therapeutic
interventions among other roles and activities that facilitate
positive outcomes for older adults and their families. In
Gerontological Social Work and COVID-19: Calls for Change in
Education, Practice, and Policy from International Voices,
scholars, practice professionals, and other stakeholders reflect on
the initial months of the pandemic. They articulate immediate needs
the pandemic has created and uncovered, and further identify
directions the field must go in to meet the moment and prepare for
the future ahead. This book was originally published as a special
issue of the Journal of Gerontological Social Work.
Mainstream gerontological scholarship has taken little heed of
people ageing with disability, and they have also been largely
overlooked by both disability and ageing policies and service
systems. The Handbook on Ageing with Disability is the first to
pull together knowledge about the experience of ageing with
disability. It provides a broad look at scholarship in this
developing field and across different groups of people with
disability in order to form a better understanding of commonalities
across groups and identify unique facets of ageing within specific
groups. Drawing from academic, personal, and clinical perspectives,
the chapters address topics stemming from how the ageing with
disability experience is framed, the heterogeneity of the
population ageing with disability and the disability experience,
issues of social exclusion, health and wellness, frailty, later
life, and policy contexts for ageing with disability in various
countries. Responding to the need to increase access to knowledge
in this field, the Handbook provides guideposts for researchers,
practitioners, and policy makers about what matters in providing
services, developing programmes, and implementing policies that
support persons ageing with long-term disabilities and their
families.
This book brings together key players in the current debate on
positive and normative science and philosophy and value judgements
in economics. Both editors have engaged in these debates throughout
their careers from its early foundations; Putnam as a doctorial
student of Hans Reichenbach at UCLA and Walsh a junior member of
Lord Robbins's department at the London School of Economics, both
in the early 1950s. This book collects recent contributions from
Martha Nussbaum, Amartya Sen and Partha Dasgupta, as well as a new
chapter from the editors.
First published in 1990, this is a reissue of Professor Hilary
Putnam 's dissertation thesis, written in 1951, which concerns
itself with The Meaning of the Concept of Probability in
Application to Finite Sequences and the problems of the deductive
justification for induction. Written under the direction of Putnam
's mentor, Hans Reichenbach, the book considers Reichenbach 's
idealization of very long finite sequences as infinite sequences
and the bearing this has upon Reichenbach 's pragmatic vindication
of induction.
First published in 1978, this reissue presents a seminal
philosophical work by professor Putnam, in which he puts forward a
conception of knowledge which makes ethics, practical knowledge and
non-mathematic parts of the social sciences just as much parts of
'knowledge' as the sciences themselves. He also rejects the idea
that knowledge can be demarcated from non-knowledge by the fact
that the former alone adheres to 'the scientific method'.
The first part of the book consists of Professor Putnam's John
Locke lectures, delivered at the University of Oxford in 1976,
offering a detailed examination of a 'physicalist' theory of
reference against a background of the works of Tarski, Carnap,
Popper, Hempel and Kant. The analysis then extends to notions of
truth, the character of linguistic enquiry and social scientific
enquiry in general, interconnecting with the great metaphysical
problem of realism, the nature of language and reference, and the
character of ourselves.
Performing Organizational Paradoxes takes a constitutive, process
approach to organizational paradoxes. It underscores the
performative nature of paradox through underlying dialectical
tensions, its sociomaterial foundations, and power features that
bring paradoxes to life, sustain them, and enable their
transformation. The book first situates a constitutive approach in
the extant organizational paradox literature, by broadening the
constitutive approach and addressing the many debates and
inaccuracies around it. For the novice, several early chapters
devote themselves to considering how paradoxical tensions present
themselves, invite responses, and interrelate through their
organizing outcomes. For the advanced, latter chapters consider the
ubiquity of power and paradox, how bodies escape the quarantine of
their paradox narratives, how inventive category work can resist
power-imbued paradoxes, and an agenda for future research that
challenges scholars to do more on the process side of paradox.
Filling an important gap in the existing literature, this book will
be a key resource for scholars and students in the fields of
communication, management, educational administration,
organizational psychology and any other fields that study
organizations.

Publishers Weekly Starred Review Bruno Johnson, shaken to his core,
but still a formidable force—unrelenting when it comes to saving
a child Ex-cop, ex-con Bruno Johnson and his wife Marie hide in
plain sight from the law in an upscale L.A. hotel as Bruno heals
from a run-in with a brutal outlaw motorcycle gang—and the loss
of his son—a son he didn't know he had until it was too late.
Marie, now pregnant with her first child, fears Bruno may never
fully recover. She knows that soon they must return to Costa Rica
to rejoin their large family of rescued children—kids who owe
their lives to Bruno and Marie's intervention. But when Bruno's
friend, FBI Deputy Director, Dan Chulack, pleads with Bruno to help
rescue his kidnapped granddaughter, escape plans are put on hold.
After exhausting all legitimate investigative avenues, Chulack
seeks Bruno's brand of justice. With Marie's reluctant consent and
her own special expertise, they plunge into the evil world of those
who prey on children. Meanwhile, Bruno's mother, a woman he has
never known, appears asking for forgiveness—and Bruno's
assistance—while bringing her own set of complications. Bruno
finds his professional and his personal lives colliding in a
pursuit that is excruciating and brutal. The Sinister is perfect
for fans of Michael Connelly and James Lee Burke While all of the
novels in the Bruno Johnson Crime Series stand on their own and can
be read in any order, the publication sequence is: The Disposables
