The Essential Belloc: A Prophet for Our Times
 List Price: Price: $11.66 You Save: $6.29 (35%) DescriptionHe was a poet, a polemicist, and a prose stylist without peer, but Hilaire Belloc (1870-1954) was first and above all a mighty champion of the Catholic faith. With his brave (and sometimes brash) defenses of Catholic civilization, he taught an entire generation of Catholics never to stand for being treated as second-class citizens in the predominantly Protestant Anglosphere. Today, with the Faith once again suffering scorn and contempt from all sides, it is time to re-discover this Catholic champion. The Essential Belloc; draws upon the prolific writer's works (he authored more than 140 books, plus countless articles, pamphlets, and letters) to provide a comprehensive overview of his ideas, style, and personality. More than just a collection of quotes, these pages offer rich samplings from Belloc's writings, affording you a solid introduction to his thoughts on: - The foundational link between European culture and the Catholic faith - The anti-Catholic historical myths that the English-speaking world has come to accept as fact - The limits and dangers of science that has abandoned faith in God - The latent power and future menace of militant Islam - The characteristic faults of political and economic systems that deviate from Catholic principles - The particular charms of places throughout the world: their towns and roads, their churches and inns - The love of good food, wine, and ale, and the songs of camaraderie that go with them And more plus delightful examples of Belloc's poetry and wit. Belloc himself once remarked that genius is the ability to think in a very large number of categories. In The Essential Belloc you will marvel at how well he fits that very definition, and be edified by the breadth of his brilliance and its continuing relevance for the modern world.
Europe and the Faith¿Sine auctoritate nulla vita¿ (Webster's Spanish Thesaurus Edition)
 List Price: Price: $20.95 DescriptionWebster's edition of this classic is organized to expose the reader to a maximum number of synonyms and antonyms for difficult and often ambiguous English words that are encountered in other works of literature, conversation, or academic examinations. Extremely rare or idiosyncratic words and expressions are given lower priority in the notes compared to words which are ¿difficult, and often encountered¿ in examinations. Rather than supply a single synonym, many are provided for a variety of meanings, allowing readers to better grasp the ambiguity of the English language, and avoid using the notes as a pure crutch. Having the reader decipher a word's meaning within context serves to improve vocabulary retention and understanding. Each page covers words not already highlighted on previous pages. If a difficult word is not noted on a page, chances are that it has been highlighted on a previous page. A more complete thesaurus is supplied at the end of the book; synonyms and antonyms are extracted from Webster's Online Dictionary.PSAT¿ is a registered trademark of the College Entrance Examination Board and the National Merit Scholarship Corporation neither of which sponsors or endorses this book; SAT¿ is a registered trademark of the College Board which neither sponsors nor endorses this book; GRE¿, AP¿ and Advanced Placement¿ are registered trademarks of the Educational Testing Service which neither sponsors nor endorses this book, GMAT¿ is a registered trademark of the Graduate Management Admissions Council which is neither affiliated with this book nor endorses this book, LSAT¿ is a registered trademark of the Law School Admissions Council which neither sponsors nor endorses this product.
