Paperback. Etat : Good. Suitable for readers of all ages, kid-friendly, uplifting Tail Wags and Purrs showcases Michelle Cahill's experiences volunteering at a local animal shelter for over 20 years. Always an animal lover, she began advocating for them a couple decades into her forty-year Disneyland career. She often took breaks to visit the Park's animals backstage, especially the horses. One of her happiest memories is watching with fascination as ranch hands carefully braided ribbons through a horse's mane before its appearance in a ceremony at Sleeping Beauty Castle. Having no pets of her own at that time, she began volunteering with a progressive municipal shelter near her home, a few miles south of Los Angeles, inland off the Pacific Coast. She soon realized how little she knew about animal welfare and was drawn to their plight and the critical role of humans in their lives. One thing became clear: When animals end up homeless, it is usually because of a human failure, not a pet failure. Over the years, she made notes about some of her dog and cat experiences and turned those notes into story drafts. Recently she stumbled upon those drafts stuffed in a drawer and compiled them into Tail Wags and Purrs. Also included are seven first-person adoption stories written by friends and family. It is Michelle's hope that this entertaining, heartwarming, and educational book will encourage readers to adopt from, volunteer at, or donate to a shelter or rescue organization. At the very least, they will be better informed about how homeless animals are cared for communally and successfully rehomed. Every story is true. Interwoven they illustrate how homeless animals thrive when people with various abilities, resources, and methodologies work toward the same goal--the it takes a village approach.…

Paperback. Etat : Very Good. NATIONAL BESTSELLER * The author of the runaway bestseller How the Irish Saved Civilization takes us on another "captivating.persuasive as well as entertaining" journey into history (The New York Times), recreating a time when the actions of a small band of people had repercussions that are still felt today. The Gifts of the Jews reveals the critical change that made western civilization possible. Within the matrix of ancient religions and philosophies, life was seen as part of an endless cycle of birth and death; time was like a wheel, spinning ceaselessly. Yet somehow, the ancient Jews began to see time differently. For them, time had a beginning and an end; it was a narrative, whose triumphant conclusion would come in the future. From this insight came a new conception of men and women as individuals with unique destinies--a conception that would inform the Declaration of Independence--and our hopeful belief in progress and the sense that tomorrow can be better than today. As Thomas Cahill narrates this momentous shift, he also explains the real significance of such Biblical figures as Abraham and Sarah, Moses and the Pharaoh, Joshua, Isaiah, and Jeremiah. Full of compelling stories, insights and humor, The Gifts of the Jews is an irresistible exploration of history as fascinating and fun as How the Irish Saved Civilization.…

Hardback. Etat : Good. Bestselling author Thomas Cahill tells the absorbing, heartbreaking tale of the hard life and tragic death of Dominique Green--wrongly accused, then executed in Huntsville, Texas--and shines a light on our racist and deeply flawed criminal justice system. Green, an extraordinary young man from the urban ghettos of Houston, was utterly failed by every echelon of society--the Catholic Church, numerous U.S. courts of law, and even his own mother. But from the depths of despair on Death Row, he transcended his earthly sufferings and achieved enlightenment and peace, inciting an international movement against the death penalty and inspiring his personal hero, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, to plead publicly for mercy. A Saint on Death Row is an unforgettable, sobering, and deeply spiritual account that illuminates the moral imperatives too often ignored in the headlong quest for judgment.…

Hardback. Etat : Good. From the bestselling author of How the Irish Saved Civilization and The Gifts of the Jews, his most compelling historical narrative yet. How did an obscure rabbi from a backwater of the Roman Empire come to be the central figure in Western Civilization? Did his influence in fact change the world? These are the questions Thomas Cahill addresses in his subtle and engaging investigation into the life and times of Jesus. Cahill shows us Jesus from his birth to his execution through the eyes of those who knew him and in the context of his time--a time when the Jews were struggling to maintain their beliefs under overlords who imposed their worldview on their subjects. Here is Jesus the loving friend, itinerate preacher, and quiet revolutionary, whose words and actions inspired his followers to journey throughout the Roman world and speak the truth he instilled--in the face of the greatest defeat: Jesus' crucifixion as a common criminal. Daring, provocative, and stunningly original, Cahill's interpretation will both delight and surprise.…
