Read Me a Rhyme Please
Read Me a Rhyme, Please! is designed for two age groups: children as yet unable to read and older children who not only can read but can also answer the follow-up questions. The non-readers will enjoy listening to Ernestine Beyer’s bouncing, melodious rhythms in shorter versions of the poems. The older children will enjoy a range of activities related to the complete versions of the poems, with help from teachers or caregivers when needed. Read Me a Rhyme, Please! is a book that little ones will grow into. As the poems become increasingly familiar, an enriched vocabulary will seep into their consciousness, along with an enduring appreciation of fine poetry. Before long they will be eager to read the entire poems themselves and choose the right answers to the questions. The book’s amusing illustrations will appeal both to children and their caregivers in school or at home.

The Path
The Path is a journey through the creative careers of three women writers from one family. Widowed at age 44 in the middle of the Great Depression, with three kids to raise, Ernestine Cobern Beyer's goal of enhancing her meager income by selling her poems led to her career as one of the most popular children's poets of the 20th century. Her daughter Barbara caught the writing bug and created rollicking stories of family foibles, personal misadventures, and boating and flying mishaps- which have entertained thousands of readers of her magazine articles, memoir (Take my ex, please-but not too far) and her blog, Tears and Laughter at Age 90. Granddaughter Kathie has written largely on more serious issues-war and peace-but has also published stories on her blog, engagingpeace.com. Their memoir is amply illustrated with photos, sketches, and paintings to add color to their poetry and prose.
Trent and All That
Counter Reformation, Catholic Reformation, the Baroque Age, the Tridentine Age, the Confessional Age: why does Catholicism in the early modern era go by so many names? And what political situations, what religious and cultural prejudices in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries gave rise to this confusion? Taking up these questions, John O'Malley works out a remarkable guide to the intellectual and historical developments behind the concepts of Catholic reform, the Counter Reformation, and, in his felicitous term, Early Modern Catholicism. The result is the single best overview of scholarship on Catholicism in early modern Europe, delivered in a pithy, lucid, and entertaining style. Althoug...
Trent
Trent, the Catholic Church’s attempt to put its house in order after the Reformation, has long been praised and blamed for things it never did. This one-volume history, the first in modern times, explores the volatile issues that pushed several Holy Roman emperors, kings and queens of France, five popes, and all of Europe to the brink of disaster.
What Happened at Vatican II
During four years in session, Vatican Council II held television audiences rapt with its elegant, magnificently choreographed public ceremonies, while its debates generated front-page news on a near-weekly basis. By virtually any assessment, it was the most important religious event of the twentieth century, with repercussions that reached far beyond the Catholic church. Remarkably enough, this is the first book, solidly based on official documentation, to give a brief, readable account of the council from the moment Pope John XXIII announced it on January 25, 1959, until its conclusion on December 8, 1965; and to locate the issues that emerge in this narrative in their contexts, large and s...
The First Jesuits
John W. O’Malley gives us the most comprehensive account ever written of the Society of Jesus in its founding years, one that heightens and transforms our understanding of the Jesuits in history and today. Following the Society from 1540 through 1565, O’Malley shows how this sense of mission evolved. He looks at everything—the Jesuits’ teaching, their preaching, their casuistry, their work with orphans and prostitutes, their attitudes toward Jews and “New Christians,” and their relationship to the Reformation. All are taken in by the sweep of O’Malley’s story as he details the Society’s manifold activities in Europe, Brazil, and India.
Four Cultures of the West
The workings of Western intelligence in our day--whether in politics or the arts, in the humanities or the church--are as troubling as they are mysterious, leading to the questions: Where are we going? What in the world were we thinking? By exploring the history of four "cultures" so deeply embedded in Western history that we rarely see their instrumental role in politics, religion, education, and the arts, this timely book provides a broad framework for addressing these questions in a fresh way.
