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.
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...

Government That Works
Government That Works, The Results Revolution in the States, is the story of public servants at every level of state government, across the nation, who are transforming government. With real-world, hands-on stories from states including in part Oregon, Michigan, Maryland, Colorado, Tennessee, Washington, and New Mexico, the book chronicles the emerging best practices in results-driven government. Government That Works includes practical tools in use to implement sweeping cultural change by shifting the system of management from one that is reactionary to a system driven by clear goals and specific measures that gauge progress. The book addresses how a management system is what coalesces everything from being customer driven, to lean, and balanced scorecards, to regulatory reform, project management and employee engagement.
The Rook
A quick-witted, genre-bending, and wildly imaginative thriller about the secret organization keeping England--and the world--safe from supernatural threats (one staff meeting at a time). "The body you are wearing used to be mine." So begins the letter Myfanwy Thomas is holding when she awakes in a London park surrounded by bodies all wearing latex gloves. With no recollection of who she is, Myfanwy must follow the instructions her former self left behind to discover her identity and track down the agents who want to destroy her. She soon learns that she is a Rook, a high-ranking member of a secret organization called the Chequy that battles the many supernatural forces at work in Britain. Sh...
