Pages : 522
Book Description
Excerpt from The Two Kenricks The time had gone by when the same reward was paid in Ireland for the head of wolf and friar when the great exodus of missionary priests to the American shores began. Though the penal code still remained on the statute book, there was no imitator of the Duke of Grafton in the Vice-royalty to propose to Parliament that their savage provisions should be actively enforced and even added to by a form of oriental atrocity. Though the church edifices were still obliged to hide in narrow wynds and obscure side streets, the office of the priest need no longer be carried on surreptitiously and the congregation could worship without fear of their communion with God being rudely interrupted by the tramp of armed men whose mission it was to seize the priest and scatter the flock. Those who had imitated the policy of Diocletian had seen the error of their ways so clearly as to conclude that their interests would be better served by providing a place of training for the Irish priest than by putting a price upon his capture. It was in this period of respite that many of the men most illustrious in the roll of the Catholic hierarchy and priesthood of the United States responded to the call for clerical help for the fast-grow ing shepherdless flocks scattered all over the continent. Shin ing amongst the names of that bright galaxy are those of the two men whose career these pages shall endeavor, however feebly and inefficiently, to trace, the brothers Kenrick.

The Rational Animal
Author: Douglas T Kenrick
Publisher: Basic Books
ISBN: 0465040977
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 290
Book Description
Why do three out of four professional football players go bankrupt? How can illiterate jungle dwellers pass a test that tricks Harvard philosophers? And why do billionaires work so hard -- only to give their hard-earned money away? When it comes to making decisions, the classic view is that humans are eminently rational. But growing evidence suggests instead that our choices are often irrational, biased, and occasionally even moronic. Which view is right -- or is there another possibility? In this animated tour of the inner workings of the mind, psychologist Douglas T. Kenrick and business professor Vladas Griskevicius challenge the prevailing views of decision making, and present a new alternative grounded in evolutionary science. By connecting our modern behaviors to their ancestral roots, they reveal that underneath our seemingly foolish tendencies is an exceptionally wise system of decision making. From investing money to choosing a job, from buying a car to choosing a romantic partner, our choices are driven by deep-seated evolutionary goals. Because each of us has multiple evolutionary goals, though, new research reveals something radical -- there's more than one "you" making decisions. Although it feels as if there is just one single "self" inside your head, your mind actually contains several different subselves, each one steering you in a different direction when it takes its turn at the controls. The Rational Animal will transform the way you think about decision making. And along the way, you'll discover the intimate connections between ovulating strippers, Wall Street financiers, testosterone-crazed skateboarders, Steve Jobs, Elvis Presley, and you.

Classical Antiquities of Algeria
Author: Jean-Marie Blas de Roblès
Publisher: Society for Libyan Studies
ISBN: 1900971585
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 328
Book Description
Algeria is a large country, rich in visual remains of its long and complex history. The monuments of the Roman period are particularly impressive. This is partly because they are well-preserved, but also because the French, who colonized the region in the nineteenth century and ruled it until 1962, carried out extensive excavations and restorations. Algeria is not yet in the grip of the mass tourism which is engulfing better known destinations; now is therefore the time to explore its beautiful landscapes and rich cultural heritage. The Roman sites rank among the most impressive anywhere in the Mediterranean and represent an important aspect of the nation’s past. This guidebook will take you to all the sites, with an historical introduction, a detailed gazetteer of the principal museums and Roman sites and lavish provision of maps, plans and photographs.
