An Evidence-based Approach
by John J Halperin
This new edition of Lyme Disease provides up-to-date evidence-based research and covers the significant advances in our understanding of the disorders referred to as Lyme disease or Lyme borreliosis. This book explores the causative organism, its requisite ecosystem, disease epidemiology, host-Borrelia interactions, diagnostic testing, clinical manifestations, therapeutic options, the role of host immunity on pathogenesis and long term prognosis. The authors provide balanced perspectives on all aspects of Lyme disease and explicitly review both the basic biology of the infection and practical clinical aspects. This new edition: Includes new borrelial pathogens that have been identified (B. miyamotoi, B. mayonii and B. bavariensis among others). Provides updated information on the molecular biology of the organism, neuroborreliosis, and the role of the C6 peptide in diagnosis. Discusses the controversies about 'chronic Lyme disease', post Lyme disease syndrome and other ongoing but non-specific symptoms that have been attributed to this infection. As the endemic footprint of Lyme disease continues to grow, this book provides a broad and detailed guide for clinicians and researchers involved with the diagnosis and treatment of the condition. Covering biology, epidemiology and therapeutics, it is also essential reading for students of global health and infectious disease.

by Olivia Fitzsimons
A story of love, obsession and escape, an uncompromising, lyrical tour-de-force that marks the arrival of an extraordinary new voice in Irish fiction.

She begins an intense, passionate sexual relationship with a 17-year-old, Naoise. Then she disappears from all their lives. Twelve years later, Nuala's daughter Sam can't wait to make her own escape, but she needs to finish school first, and she can't get past the loss of her mother. When Sam meets a jagged, magnetic older man, she is drawn to him, he to her. His name is Naoise.

February 2020Baie Saint-Paul
by Saëz, Jean-Manuel
When John Mac Dolan, a long time ago, arrived in Shortfalls, a small town on the edge of the Yukon, no one asked him who he was or where he came from. He was one of the many adventurers who made the reputation of this region of Canada since the Gold Rush and for whom the inhabitants show no curiosity. It was not, however, the fortune he had come to seek. As for what he found there, perhaps Camille Dorchamp, a Parisian air hostess, will find out when she receives a strange letter from the Sheriff of Shortfalls that will lead her on an unforeseen adventure?

Media and Conflict in Myanmar
Opportunities for Media to Advance Peace
by Theo Dolan, Stephen Gray
Since its 2010 elections, Myanmar’s political transition from military junta to democratic rule has been remarkable. The process, though, is far from complete. In the context of a deeply rooted, intractable, and dynamic conflict landscape, this report addresses the role of Myanmar’s national media in the country’s political, social, and economic transition. Analysis focuses on three key conflicts: citizen-state, ethnic, and intercommunal. The report is based on a methodology developed by the United States Institute of Peace that is designed to help donors, local stakeholders, NGOs, and policymakers determine effective media initiatives to help mitigate conflict, build peace, and support nonmedia statebuilding efforts in Myanmar.

June 2023John Tracey Ellis
An American Church Reformer
by Thomas J. Shelley, Levering, Pidel
For several decades prior to his death in October1992, Monsignor John Tracy Ellis was the most prominent historian of American Catholicism. His bibliography lists 395 published works, including seventeen books, most famously, American Catholics and the Intellectual Life, a scathing indictment of the mediocrity of Catholic higher education and a clarion call for American Catholics to make a greater contribution to American intellectual life. Ellis’s ecumenically-minded scholarship led to his election in 1969 as the President of both the American Catholic Historical Association and the predominantly Protestant American Society of Church History. As a professor at the Catholic University of America, Ellis trained numerous graduate students, who made their own contributions to American Catholic history, and he also furthered the careers of several talented young church historians. Especially in his later years, during the polarized atmosphere that followed Vatican II, Ellis became an outspoken but balanced advocate of reform in the Church, urging greater transparency and honesty, collegiality on the diocesan level, a role for the laity in the selection of bishops, reassessment of church teaching on birth control, decentralization to provide an enhanced role for the local churches, and an eloquent defense of religious freedom and the American Catholic commitment to separation of church and state. His fellow church historian, Jay P. Dolan, remarked that Ellis “used history as an instrument to promote changes he believed necessary for American Catholicism. . . .No other historian of American Catholicism matched Ellis in this regard.”

A Son of the Church Remembers
by Monsignor Hilary C. Franco
SIX POPES: A Son of the Church Remembers is Monsignor Hilary C. Franco’s engaging memoir and a story only a son can tell, a son not only of the Catholic Church, but also of Italian immigrants.From Belmont, his Bronx neighborhood, Franco rose to work with the highest and most influential figures of the Roman Catholic Church.As a young man he attended Rome’s premier seminary, soon after becoming the special assistant to Archbishop Fulton Sheen. As a priest he would travel the world, and he recounts a harrowing experience in the Deep South in the early 1960s, his work at the Vatican Councils that redefined the Church, and his time posted at the Church’s diplomatic missions in Washington, D.C., and the United Nations. This most formidable churchman reveals his tales of intellectual, pastoral, and diplomatic service to the Catholic Church, enlivened by recollections of the fascinating people he came to know from U.S. presidents and foreign heads of state, to religious leaders like Padre Pio and Saint Mother Teresa.The title of his current role, Advisor at the Permanent Observer Mission of the Holy See to the United Nations, gives little hint of the drama of the times he recollects.Stories of this book’s six pontiffs that Franco served under — John XXIII, Paul VI, John Paul I, John Paul II, Benedict XVI, Francis — offer landmarks along Franco’s trek through the corridors of spiritual power in New York, Washington, D.C., and Rome.SIX POPES: A Son of the Church Remembersis written from a unique eyewitness vantage on many of the events and movements that shaped our world and the Catholic Church. There is really no other book like it.“Monsignor Franco is known as an engaging storyteller of his impactful time in the Church. Read this book and you will see why.” — Timothy Cardinal Dolan, Archdiocese of New York

The Empathy Book
by Cillian Murphy, Pat Dolan, Gillian Browne, Mark Brennan
All of us wonder what we can do to make life better in a world that seems so complex, challenging and, at times, difficult. The essays in this book show that no matter how big or small, empathetic actions have massive impacts. We rarely know how these affect people and communities, but they reverberate long after we act. Empathetic people are happier and get more enjoyment out of life. They show greater resilience to mental illness and stress and have better physical health. As well as aiding the good stuff, empathy helps prevent the bad stuff. It is a core element of wisdom and the universal language of the soul, bringing joy to the everyday and making the unbearable bearable.

The Center is Jesus Christ Himself
Essays on Revelation, Salvation, and Evangelization in Honor of Robert P. Imbelli
by Andrew Meszaros, Cardinal Timothy M. Dolan, Bishop James Massa
The polarization in the Church today can be traced back to a more fundamental crisis in theology, one which has failed to connect our mundane experiences and the mysteries of the Christian faith with the person of Jesus Christ. Ecclesial discourse on the so-called ‘hot- button issues’ of the day too often take place without considering the foundation and goal of the Church. And this is unfortunately due to a similar tendency in the academic theology that informs that ecclesial discourse. In short, much of post-conciliar Catholic theology is adrift, floating aimlessly away from the center of the Christian faith, who is Christ. The Center is Jesus Christ Himself is a collection of essays which anchor theological reflection in Jesus Christ. These diverse essays share a unified focal point, but engage with a variety of theological subdisciplines (e.g., dogmatic, moral, Biblical, etc.), areas (e.g., Christology, Pneumatology, missiology, etc.), and periods (e.g., patristic, medieval, and modern). Given the different combinations of sub-disciplines, areas, and periods, theology is susceptible to fragmentation when it is not held together by some principle of unity. A theology in which the person of Jesus Christ serves as that principle of unity is a Christocentric theology. Together, the essays illustrate not only what Christocentric theology looks like, but also what the consequences are when Christ is dislodged from the center, whether by a conspicuous silence on, or by a relativization of, his unique salvific mission. The volume is published in honor of Emeritus Professor of Systematic Theology at Boston College, Rev. Dr. Robert P. Imbelli, who dedicated his teaching and writing to bringing Christ back to the center of Catholic theological discourse.
