The Essential Mystery Lists
For the first time in one place, Roger M. Sobin has compiled a list of nominees and award winners of virtually every mystery award ever presented. He has also included many of the “best of” lists by more than fifty of the most important contributors to the genre.; Mr. Sobin spent more than two decades gathering the data and lists in this volume, much of that time he used to recheck the accuracy of the material he had collected. Several of the “best of” lists appear here for the first time in book form. Several others have been unavailable for a number of years.; Of special note, are Anthony Boucher’s “Best Picks for the Year.” Boucher, one of the major mystery reviewers of all time, reviewed for The San Francisco Chronicle, Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine, and The New York Times. From these resources Mr. Sobin created “Boucher’s Best” and “Important Lists to Consider,” lists that provide insight into important writing in the field from 1942 through Boucher’s death in 1968.? This is a great resource for all mystery readers and collectors.; ; Winner of the 2008 Macavity Awards for Best Mystery Nonfiction.

A Vision of Service
A Vision of Service, a celebration of the Golden Jubilee of a Federation of thirteen congregations of North American Sisters and Daughters of Charity, presents a unique picture of the post-modern nun and her non-traditional ministries. Sr. Anthony describes the work of the Sisters of Charity today who are lawyers, doctors, theologians, advocates, parish pasters, prison chaplains, college presidents, journalists, professors, scientists, ecologists, political advisors, and interpreters for the deaf. There are sisters who are members of labor relations boards, director of Marriage Tribunals, CEOs of large hospitals and social work centers, such as Covenant House in New York. They are marriage counselors and workers with AIDS victims, with battered wives, abused children, and severely handicapped children. Each congregation has found a unique way of expressing the values, vision and spirit of St. Vincent de Paul, Louise de Marillac, and St. Elizabeth Ann Seton. Their diverse story is the story of the empowerment of ministry within the Church today.
