THIS PHENOMENAL LIFE The Amazing Ways We Are Connected with Our Universe

BY MISHA BLAISE

Entertaining, colorful, and deceptively full of facts, This Phenomenal Life tells the story of the wondrous ways that humans are always completely at one with our surrounding world. From the vast galaxies above to the miniature microbes within, humans are organically connected to the complex cycles and mysterious processes of our universe. Every single atom of our body is made of remnants of stars and massive explosions in the galaxies, and we share the same biochemical basis of life with all living beings on earth, from a single-celled amoeba to a giant blue whale. Whimsi- cally hip illustrations elucidate wild science-based facts, from the unexpected intimacy we have with fungi on a daily basis, to the similar ways that humans and birds learn to communi- cate. Powerful evidence of our interconnection with nature combined with beautiful artwork will inspire the reader to look at the world in a whole new way.

The healing, beauty, and joy of the animal shelter system

FINDING SHELTER Portraits of Love, Healing, and Survival

BY JESSE FREIDIN

Without volunteers, our nation’s animal shelter system simply would not exist. Volunteers speak for those that cannot speak, pick up the pieces for abandoned animals that have been let down by previous owners or unfortu- nate circumstances, and do whatever it takes to heal the deepest of wounds. In Finding Shelter, award-winning photographer Jesse Freidin shows the softer side of this story. He witnessed firsthand how many of the volunteers were able to mend their own emotional hurts with the love the shelter animals gave back to them, and how the power of these relationships transforms shelters into places where humans and animals can heal together. This realization propelled him to take a two-year journey across the country to document the tenderness and healing, beauty April, 2017 • Pets/General and joy he encountered within the shelter system.

The rich, poignant tales of major league baseball’s most hard-luck fraternity—the pitchers of its Almost-Perfect Games

ALMOST PERFECT The Heartbreaking Pursuit of Pitching’s Holy Grail

BY JOE COX

From 1908 to 2015, there have been thirteen pitchers who have begun Major League Baseball games by retiring the first twenty-six opposing batters, but then, one out from complet- ing a perfect game, somehow faltering (or having perfection stolen from them). Three other pitchers did successfully retire twenty-seven batters in a row, but are still not credited with perfect games. While stories of pitching the perfect game have been told and retold, Almost Perfect looks at how baseball, at its core, is about heartbreak, and these sixteen men are closer to what baseball really is, and why we remain invested in the sport. Author Joe Cox visits this notion through a century of baseball and through these sixteen pitchers—recounting their games in thrilling fashion, telling the personal stories of the fascinating (and very human) baseball figures involved, and exploring the historical American and baseball backdrops of February, 2017 • Sports & Recreation/Baseball each flawed gem. 272 pages • 16 B/W Photos • 6 x 9 From George “Hooks” Wiltse’s nearly perfect game in 978-1-4930-1950-2 • $26.95 • Cloth 1908 to “Hard Luck” Harvey Haddix’s 12-inning, 36-consecu- LYONS PRESS tive-outs performance on May 26, 1959 (the most astounding single-game pitching performance in baseball history) to Max Scherzer’s near miss in 2015, Joe Cox’s book captures the action, the humanity, and the history of the national pastime’s greatest “almosts.”

THE VOICES OF BASEBALL The Game’s Greatest Broadcasters Reflect on America’s Pastime BY KIRK MCKNIGHT

Kirk McKnight provides an in-depth look at each of Major League Baseball’s thirty ballparks from the perspectives of the game’s longest-tenured storytellers.

The dangerous, trailblazing work of a white journalist and black leader who struck a shocking early blow against legal segregation

30 DAYS A BLACK MAN The Forgotten Story That Exposed the Jim Crow South

BY BILL STEIGERWALD

In 1948, most white people in the North had no idea how unjust and unequal daily life was for 10 million African Americans living in the Jim Crow South. Then, Ray Sprigle, a famous white journalist from Pittsburgh, went undercover and—alongside Atlanta’s black civil rights pioneer Wesley Dobbs—lived as a black man in the South for thirty days. His impassioned news- paper series shocked millions and sparked the first nationally aired television-and-radio debate about ending America’s shameful system of apartheid. Author Bill Steigerwald returns this long-forgotten part of American history to its rightful place among the seminal events of the Civil Rights movement. For 30 days and 3,000 miles, Sprigle and Dobbs traveled among dirt-poor sharecroppers, principals of ramshackle black schools, and families of lynching victims. The nationally syndicated newspaper series hit the media like an atom bomb, eliciting a fierce response from the Southern press. Six years before Brown v. Board of Education, seven years before the murder of Emmett Till, eight years before Little Rock’s Central High School was integrated, and thirteen years before John Howard Griffin’s similar experiment became the bestselling Black Like Me, an unlikely pair of heroes brought black lives to the forefront of American consciousness.

REAL LACE REVISITED Inside the Hidden World of America’s Irish Aristocracy

BY JAMES P. MACGUIRE

Here is a revisitation—part tribute, part update—of Stephen Birmingham’s much loved Real Lace. James P. MacGuire, a member of one of Birmingham’s Irish Families, creates his own entertaining portrait of life among the Irish Rich, further detailing and filling out this engrossing portion of America’s social history. Real Lace Revisited chronicles the religious, financial and social evolution of the First Irish Families’ world, its rise, peak, decline, fall, and, in some cases, transformative rebirth. Rather than a memoir, however, the book reads as an informed historical, non-fiction account of the upper-class Irish world as it grew and changed. Real Lace Revisited is always accessible and highly readable, enlivened by Mac- Guire’s gift for storytelling, encyclopedic knowledge, and often humorous insight into the families concerned.

He has worked, inter alia, at Time Inc., Macmillan, The Health Network, and the Corpora- tion for Public Broadcasting.

A WORLD ERASED A Grandson’s Search for His Family’s Holocaust Secrets

BY NOAH LEDERMAN

This moving memoir by the grandson of Holocaust survivors transports readers from Noah Lederman’s grandparents’ kitchen table in Brooklyn to World War II Poland. In the 1950s, Noah’s grandparents raised their children on Holocaust stories. Because tales of rebellion and death camps gave his father and aunt constant nightmares, in Noah’s adolescence, Grandma would only recount the PG-version. Noah, however, craved the uncensored truth, and always felt one right question away from their pasts. But when Poppy died at the end of the millennium, it seemed the Holocaust stories died with him. Without the love of her life by her side, Grandma could do little more than mourn in the years that followed. After college, Noah, a travel writer, roamed the world for fifteen months with just one rule: avoid Poland. A few missteps in Europe, however, landed him in his grandparents’ country. When he returned home, he cautiously told Grandma about his time in Warsaw, fearing that the past would bring up memories too painful for her to relive. But instead, remembering the Holocaust unexpectedly rejuvenated her, ending five years of mourning her husband. Together, they explored the memories—of Auschwitz February, 2017 • History/Holocaust/Biography and a half dozen other camps, the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, and 256 pages • 23 B/W Photos • 6 x 9 the displaced persons camps—that his grandmother had buried 978-1-4422-6743-5 • $24.95 • Cloth for decades.

The true story of Kate Warne and the other women who served as Pinkertons, fulfilling the adage, “Well-behaved Women Seldom Make History.”

THE PINKS The First Women Detectives, Operatives, and Spies with the Pinkerton National Detective Agency

BY CHRIS ENSS

Most students of the Old West and American law enforcement history know the story of the notorious and ruthless Pinkerton Detective Agency and the legends behind their role in estab- lishing the Secret Service and tangling with Old West Outlaws. But the true story of Kate Warne, an operative of the Pinkerton Agency and the first woman detective in America—and the stories of the other women who served their country as part of the storied crew of crime fighters—are not well known. For the first time, the stories of these intrepid women are collected here and richly illustrated throughout with numerous historical photographs. From Kate Warne’s probable affair with Allan Pinkerton, and her part in saving the life of Abraham Lincoln in 1861 to the lives and careers of the other women who broke out of the Cult of True Womanhood in pursuit of justice, these true stories add another dimension to our understanding of American history.

The true story of the world’s first robbery of a moving train, and the real origins of the Wild West

THE NOTORIOUS RENO GANG The Wild Story of the West’s First Brotherhood of Thieves, Assassins, and Train Robbers

BY RACHEL DICKINSON

They were the first outlaws to rob a moving train. But from 1864 to 1868, the Reno brothers and their gang of counterfeit- ers, robbers, burglars, and safecrackers also held the town of Seymour, Indiana, hostage, making a large hotel near the train station their headquarters. When the gang robbed the Adams Express car of the Ohio & Mississippi Railroad on the outskirts of Seymour on October 6, 1866, it shocked the world—and made other burgeoning outlaws like Jesse James sit up and take notice. The extraordinary—and extra-legal—efforts to take them out defined the term “frontier justice.” From the first report of the robbery, Allan Pinkerton’s operatives were on the scene, followed by kidnappings, lynchings, and an extradition from Canada to Indiana that caused an international incident. In the end, ten members of the Reno Gang were hanged, includ- ing three of the Reno brothers. And no one was ever charged with the murders. The Notorious Reno Gang tells the complete story for the first time, revealing how these gangsters, Pinkerton’s National Detective Agency, and the little city of Seymour ushered in the Wild West.

JOHN HAY FRIEND OF GIANTS The Man and Life Connecting Abraham Lincoln, Mark Twain, Henry James, and Theodore Roosevelt

PHILIP MCFARLAND

Now, perhaps, only those enmeshed in 19th-century American history know his name; but when John Hay died in 1905, he was one of the most famous men in the world. And one of the most highly regarded. Abraham Lincoln’s private secretary during the Civil War, thereafter as a popular poet, novelist, newspaper editor, highly esteemed historian and biographer, diplomat, businessman, and secretary of state until his death, Hay enjoyed remarkable success in public and private life. In John Hay Friend of Giants, Philip McFarland presents both the intimate story of Hay’s relationship with four prominent figures of his age and an insightful history of the United States from the 1850s to the turn of the century. Hay’s life and extraordinary friendships provide a window into the politics, literature, society, and diplomacy of this remarkable era of American expansion.

PHILIP MCFARLAND is the author of six earlier works of non- fiction including Mark Twain and the Colonel: Samuel Clemens, Theodore Roosevelt and the Arrival of a New Century. He resides in Lexington, Massachusetts.

JOHN SINGER SARGENT AND HIS MUSE Painting Love and Loss

BY KAREN CORSANO AND DANIEL WILLIMAN FOREWORD BY RICHARD ORMOND

This sensitive and compelling biography sheds new light on John Singer Sargent’s art through an intimate history of his family. Karen Corsano and Daniel Williman focus especially on his niece and muse, Rose-Marie Ormond, telling her story for the first time. In a score of paintings created between 1906 and 1912, John Singer Sargent documented the idyllic teenage summers of Rose-Marie and his own deepening affection for her serene beauty and good-hearted, candid charm. Rose-Marie married Robert, the only son of André Michel, the foremost art historian of his day, who had known Sargent and reviewed his paintings in the Paris Salons of the 1880s. Robert was a promising historian as well, until the Great War claimed him first as an infantry sergeant, then a victim, in 1914. His widow Rose-Marie served as a nurse in a rehabilitation hospital for blinded French soldiers until she too was killed, crushed under a bombed church vault, in 1918. Sargent expressed his grief, as he expressed all his emotions, on canvas: He painted March, 2017 • Art/Biography ruined French churches and, in Gassed, blinded soldiers; he made 340 pages • 21 B/W Illustrations • 28 B/W Photos his last murals for the Boston Public Library a cryptic memorial to 13 Color Illustrations • 2 Color Photos • 6 x 9 Rose-Marie and her beloved Robert.

THE GREATEST AIR ACES STORIES EVER TOLD BY COL. ROBERT BARR SMITH AND LAURENCE J. YADON, ESQ.

The Greatest Air Aces Stories Ever Told covers many of the leading American and British Commonwealth fighter aces of WW I and WWII, together with a few bomber crews whose gallantry made a substantial contribution to the end of WWII. Other nations had their aces, but this book concentrates on American and Commonwealth pilots. These aviators were chosen not only because of their “scores” and their great courage, but also for other qualities which set them apart, like the WWII Royal Air Force Wing Commander who shot down more than 20 Germans while fly- ing with two artificial legs. The book also touches on the equipment these aces flew, from the famous Fokkers and Sopwith Camels to the ungainly two-seater FE2b, which was driven by a pusher engine and looked like a bathtub with wings and a miniature oil derrick glued on the back. Also included are our own Grumman car- rier fighters, the P-40s, the P-38s, as well as the P-51 Mus- tang, probably the finest fighter of the war, a happy marriage of an American airframe and a British engine. The deadly, graceful Spitfire has its place, as do the Hurricane, the biplane Gladiator, and even the four-engine Lancaster.

ARMIES SOUTH, ARMIES NORTH BY ALAN AXELROD

An argument settler—and starter—for Civil War buffs who want to know which side had the better soldiers: Armies South/Armies North definitively compares the military forces of both sides. Civil War buffs are always arguing over which side had the better soldiers. Armies South/Armies North helps readers reconsider their understanding of America’s most harrowing war. Each chapter of this new book compares the military forces with both quantitative and qualitative measures. Axelrod analyzes the equipment, the leader- ship and strategies, and the men who fought in each army, with additional focus on lesser known flash points during the war.

ALAN AXELROD is the author of more than 100 books on leadership, history, military history, corporate history, and more. After receiving his Ph.D. in English from the University of Iowa in 1979, Axelrod taught early American literature and culture at Lake Forest College (Lake For- est, Illinois) and at Furman University (Greenville, South Carolina). He then entered scholarly publishing in 1982 as associate editor and scholar with the Henry Francis du Pont Winterthur Museum (Winterthur, Delaware), an institution specializing in the history and material culture of America prior to 1832.

A soldier’s eye view of Vietnam’s fiercest close-quarters battle upon its 50th anniversary

BLOOD IN THE HILLS The Story of Khe Sanh, the Most Savage Fight of the Vietnam War

BY ROBERT MARAS AND CHARLES W. SASSER

Khe Sanh’s Hill Fights of 1967—as experienced by co-author Bobby Maras and told in this hour-by-hour, day-by-day account—were carnage on the ground, much of it hand-to-hand fighting in the dark. Thanks to the brave Marines of the 9th and 3rd, Khe Sanh survived the first concentrated attack by the North Vietnamese to invade the South. After the Hill Fights, American forces pulled back and held out against constant enemy shelling and frequent attacks until the siege was broken. Combining Maras’ personal experiences with the war’s bigger picture, Blood in the Hills honors the heroic actions of our soldiers and shows how Khe Sanh was microcosm of the entire Vietnam War.

ROBERT (BOBBY) MARAS was a private first class, machine- gunner with Weapons Platoon, Golf Company, 3rd Marines during the Hill Fights at Khe Sanh. A retired police officer, he is a past president of Vietnam Veterans of America and con- tinues to work in veterans’ leadership roles, including as Chair of the Veterans Initiative Task Force. He lives in Oklahoma.

1,000-YARD STARE A Marine Grunt’s-Eye View of the Vietnam War

BY MARC WASZKIEWICZ, LEA JONES AND CRISTA DOUGHERTY

Marc Waszkiewicz served three tours (1967, 1968, 1969) as an artillery forward observer with the U.S. Marine Corps in Vietnam, where he took thousands of photos capturing the beauty, drudgery, hilarity, and horror of the war. 1,000-Yard Stare collects the best of these in a book that presents an unvarnished grunt’s-eye view of the Vietnam War. These are amazing, well-shot photos—most of them color, many of them truly arresting—of Marines in the field, in camp, on base, fighting, patrolling, writ- ing, drinking, carrying on. Some have the feeling of candid snapshots while others are more composed (Waszkiewicz was, and is, an amateur photographer), with subjects ranging from a gunner calculating ranges with pencil and protractor and a chaplain conducting a battlefield mass to grunts smoking illicit substances while pretending to fish and images of barbed wire twisting in the jungle and watchtowers at twilight. Also included are photographs from Waszkiewicz’s postwar decades of coming to terms with his experiences, such as a sequence of poignant photos from The Wall in February, 2017 • History/Military/Vietnam War Washington and his trip back to Vietnam.

THE JAGGED EDGE OF DUTY A Fighter Pilot’s World War II BY ROBERT L. RICHARDSON On the very first day of the invasion of Sicily, three months into his combat career, Allan Knep- per flew his P-38 Lightning fighter in a squadron sent out to sweep the island and interdict Ger- man ground targets. Retreating German infantry unexpectedly pounded the American flyers. Knepper was one of two shot down; he was never found. Knepper’s story is the story-in-micro- cosm of thousands of American fighter pilots in World War II. Richardson recounts Knepper’s experiences from training through combat and uses them to discuss the aircraft, tactics and doctrine, training, base life, and aerial combat of the war. This is the intimate account of one pilot at war, but also the anatomy of the fighter-pilot experience in World War II.

ROBERT L. RICHARDSON lives in Spokane, Washington. This is his first book.

BALLADEER OF THE GREEN BERETS The Life and Wars of Staff Sergeant Barry Sadler from the Vietnam War and Pop Stardom to Murder and an Unsolved, Violent Death BY MARC LEEPSON The top Billboard Hot 100 single of 1966 wasn’t “Paint It Black” or “Yellow Submarine”—it was “The Ballad of the Green Berets,” a hyper-patriotic tribute to the men of the Special Forces by Vietnam vet Staff Sergeant Barry Sadler. But Sadler’s clean-cut, all-American image hid a darker side, a Hunter Thompson-esque life of booze, girls, and guns. Settling in Central America, Sadler ran guns, allegedly trained guerrillas, provided medical care to residents, and caroused at his villa. This life-and-times biography of an American character recounts the sensational details of Sadler’s life vividly but soberly, setting his meteoric rise and tragic fall against the big picture of American society and culture during and after the Vietnam War.

You-are-there stories of ambushes and patrols on the Mekong in the Vietnam War

SWIFT BOATS AT WAR IN VIETNAM EDITED BY GUY GUGLIOTTA, JOHN YEOMAN AND NEVA SULLAWAY

Developed specifically for the Vietnam War (and made famous by the 2004 presidential campaign), swift boats were versatile craft “big enough to outrun anything they couldn’t outfight” but too small to handle even a moderate ocean chop, too loud to sneak up on anyone, and too flimsy to withstand the mildest of rocket attacks. This made more difficult an already tough mission: navigating coastal waters for ships and sampans smuggling contraband to the Viet Cong, disrupting enemy supply lines on the rivers and canals of the Mekong Delta, and inserting SEALs behind enemy lines. The stories in this book cover the swift boats’ early years, which saw search-and- inspect operations in Vietnam’s coastal waters, and their later years, when the swifties’ mission shifted to the Mekong Delta’s labyrinth of 3,000 miles of rivers, streams, and canals. This is an intimate, exciting oral history of swift boats at war in Vietnam.

GUY GUGLIOTTA, a former swift boat officer, worked for more than forty years as correspondent and columnist for UPI, the Miami Herald, and the Washington Post. He is coauthor of Kings of Cocaine and author of Freedom’s Cap. He lives in New York City.

HEART OF THE TRAIL Stories of Covered Wagon Women

BY MARY BARMEYER O’BRIEN

In Heart of the Trail Mary Barmeyer O’Brien beautifully captures the triumphs and tribulations of women who crossed the American frontier by wagon during the great Western migration of the mid nineteenth century. While their stories are widely different, each of these remarkable women was inspiring, courageous, and resourceful. From the successes of mountain- eer Julia Anna Archibald to the grueling trials of Mary Powers, these stories reflect the adventure and hardship experienced by the thousands of women who took to the trails. The legacy of their letters and diaries, most written on the trail, is a fascinat- ing addition to understanding the history of the West. From Amelia Knight, who gave birth to her eighth child on the Oregon Trail to Grandma Tabitha Brown, who had to abandon her wagon and continue west on horseback, these exceptional women of grit and endurance earned their place in history through their sacrifices, successes, failures, and contributions. They are remembered for the legacies they left.

AND THE TIDE COMES IN . . . Exploring a Coastal Salt Marsh

BY MERRYL ALBER ILLUSTRATED BY JOYCE MIHRAN TURLEY

This book is a narrative told from the point of view of a young girl who is showing her visiting cousin a coastal salt marsh. The children visit the marsh every day for four days, slowly building their knowledge of the ecosystem.

DELICIOUS GEOGRAPHY From Place to Plate

BY GARY FULLER AND T. M. REDDEKOPP

This entertaining book takes us on a fascinating exploration of the world of food. Take a journey with the dynamic father and daughter duo, geographer Gary Fuller and chef Tracy Reddekopp, as they travel around the globe to trace the enduring links of geography and food. Food and its prepara- tion and enjoyment define the major cultural regions of the world and how these regions have changed over time. Enriching the trip with recipes to extend the experi- ence into our kitchen, homes, and families, the authors also make geography fun by asking trivia questions that turn out to be far from trivial. Among the questions asked and answered are: • What landlocked country in South America developed a plant that revolutionized food production in Europe? • Why could vanilla be grown only in Mexico until the mid-nineteenth century? • What famous Italian-American was given a nickname derived from a Pan American airliner?

STOLEN, SMUGGLED, SOLD On the Hunt for Cultural Treasures

BY NANCY MOSES

Stolen, Smuggled Sold: On the Hunt for Cultural Treasures tells the dark and compelling stories of iconic cultural objects that were stolen, smuggled or sold, and eventually returned back to their original owner. There are many books about museum heists, Holocaust artwork, insider theft, trafficking in antiquities, and stolen Native American objects. Now, there’s finally a book for the general public that covers the entire terrain. The book includes full-color photos of the objects. Stolen, Smuggled, Sold features seven vivid and true stories in which the reader joins the author as she uncovers a cultural treasure and follows its often-convoluted trail. Along the way author and reader encounter a cast of fascinating characters from the underbelly of the cultural world. Stories include a ceremonial Ghost Dance short from the massacre at Wounded Knee, the theft of 4,800 historical audio discs by a top official at the National Archives, a missing original copy of The Bill of Rights, and the mummy of Ramses I. While each story is fascinating in and of itself, together they address one of the hottest issues in the museum world: how to deal with the millions of items that have breaks in the chain of owner- ship, suspicious ownership records, or no provenance at all.

A peak behind the Hollywood mask by one of its foremost makeup artists

MAKEUP MAN From Rocky to Star Trek

BY MICHAEL WESTMORE AND JAKE PAGE FORWORD BT PATRICK STEWART

In Hollywood’s heyday, almost every major studio had a Westmore heading up the makeup department. Since 1917, there has never been a time when Westmores weren’t shaping the visages of stardom. In this lively memoir, Michael Westmore not only regales us with tales of Hollywood’s golden age, but also from his own career where he notably transformed Sylvester Stallone into Rocky Balboa and Robert DiNiro into Jake LaMotta, among many other makeup miracles. Westmore’s talent as a makeup artist first became apparent when he created impenetrable disguises for Kirk Douglas, Tony Curtis, Burt Lancaster, Robert Mitchum, and Frank Sinatra for the 1963 film The List of Adrian Messenger. He later went on work on such movies and TV shows as The Munsters, Rose- mary’s Baby, Eleanor and Franklin, New York, New York, 2010: A Space Odyssey, and Mask, for which he won an academy award. The next phase of his career was to create hundreds of alien characters for over 600 episodes of Star Trek in all its iterations, from The Next Generation to Enterprise.

This essential guide explains nearly all federal and state laws regarding whistleblowing, and in the step-by-step bulk of the book, presents more than twenty must-follow rules for whistle- blowers—from finding the best federal and state laws to the dangers of blindly trusting internal corporate “hotlines” to obtaining the proof you need to win the case.

Since 1984 he has suc- cessfully represented numerous nationally recognized whis- tleblowers. He is regularly consulted by House and Senate leaders for help in drafting whistleblower protection laws.

EVERYONE LEADS How to Revitalize the Catholic Church

BY CHRIS LOWNEY

The Catholic Church is suffering its worst decline in five centu- ries—a precipitous slide that will turn catastrophic unless reversed by fundamental changes in strategy, culture, and leadership style. Even the inspiring leadership of Pope Francis will not reverse the slide without a strategy for action, from the grassroots through the hierarchy. Chris Lowney, a former Jesuit seminarian and business executive who now chairs one of the world’s largest Catholic ministries, outlines not only the chal- lenges but also maps the path forward in Engage and Serve. After a bracing review of the church’s global struggles— from clergy shortages to scandals—Lowney draws on two decades of change-management experience to propose a strategy of five transformational principles. Engage, transform, and serve with accountability and creativity: these five words can catalyze profound change in every parish, in the way clergy are evaluated, in how bishops think, and in the roles lay men and women play in leading the church. Filled with real life examples, Engage and Serve outlines strategies that anyone can employ—from the pews to the pulpit—to strengthen the church. As a former business executive who lectures globally about leadership, Lowney speaks credibly about the institution’s chal- April, 2017 • Religion/Christianity/Catholic lenges and potential.
