New Zealand is a pastoral dream, a vestige of colonialism, the Queen of England's gargantuan sheep ranch.

New Zealand growers report mass rip-off artists, which seem to have developed into a subculture of their own, complete with trained dogs, and teams of foragers who scour the bush looking for other people's plantations to harvest.

Scott Appleby chronicles the story from 1895, when American Catholic priest John Zahm attempted to reconcile post-Darwinian theories of evolution with Catholic theism, to 1910, when former priest and radical Modernist William L. Sullivan published his Letters to His Holiness Pope Pius X, repudiating Roman authority.
Appleby focuses on the ways in which certain priests, scientists, and scholars approached the vital topics of the day--human evolution, the salience of democratic principles and institutions for the vitality of Catholicism, the role of the will and intellect in the assent of faith--by appropriating the insights of the European Catholic Modernists.
From Publishers Weekly In a shocking, graphic expose, New Orleans journalist Berry documents scores of cases of sexual abuse of boys by Roman Catholic priests across the U.S. Tracking this tragic story from Louisiana to Washington, D.C., and then to New York, Berry reports that most child-molesting priests are simply reassigned to a different parish.
