From an incident that takes place soon after she steps on campus, Darwin is introduced to a world surrounding her that most others cannot see – one filled with creatures from mythology, folklore, and fairy tales. Is she someone special, or is she losing her mind? Is Darwin cracking under the stress stress of college life, or was she selected to protect the world from unimaginable evil?

Essays on orientalism in American and European cinema

The contributors to this inspiring anthology meet the challenge that everyone faces: that of becoming a whole person in both their personal and professional lives. John C. Haughey, SJ, has gathered twelve professionals in higher education from a variety of disciplines—philosophy, theology, health care, business, and administration. What they have in common reflects the creative understanding of the meaning of “catholic” as Haughey has found it to operate in Catholic higher education. Each essay in the first six chapters describes how its author has assembled a unique whole from within his or her particular area of academic competence. The last six chapters are more autobiographical, with each author describing what has become central to his or her identity. All twelve are “anticipating an entirety” with each contributing a coherence that is as surprising as it is delightful.

"In this book, editors Michael A. Turner and William F. Malambri III make Willimon's role as a mentor to preachers more available than ever. Both former students, they provide detailed and practical tools for learning from this "peculiar prophet." They offer samples of Willimon's sermons and commentary on them by other leading preachers and homileticians such as Tom Long. Marva Dawn, Peter Gomes, and Fleming Rutledge. The point of this examination of Willimon's work is not to simply praise it, but to assess both its strengths and its weaknesses, and to help the reader learn in the process how Willimon can be a model of what to do and, at times, what not to do in the pulpit."--BOOK JACKET.
