In this seven-day retreat, Living the Truth in Love, your director is Catherine of Siena, the fourteenth-century Italian laywoman with the strong will and staunch commitment to carry out what she thought God was directing her to do. Catherine, declared Doctor of the Church in 1970, clung to the truth, lived by the truth and sought after the truth throughout her life. With her we will meet the God whom she called "Gentle Truth", struggle with the sin and glory of our own truth and ponder the fruits of truth -- discernment, freedom and wisdom.

The World of Biedermeier by Linda Chase, ISBN 0500510555
Biedermeier furniture and interior design are recognized today as the first great flowering of haute bourgeois taste in interior design. Biedermeier is a style with great range, from austere to sumptuous, but it is never ostentatious in its celebration of comfort, domestic intimacy, and practicality. Beginning in the early nineteenth century, these bourgeois ideals in design were pursued by a wide range of society from the Hapsburgs and Hohenzollern to the middle class, from Middle Europe to Italy, yet Biedermeier's innate classicism, its lyrical yet elegant forms, have made it an influential inspiration in our own time.
The World of Biedermeier celebrates the elements of a wonderfully appealing style -- the furniture, decorative elements, paintings, crystal, porcelain, fabrics -- as no other recent book on furniture and design. Created out of an enraptured obsession with Biedermeier -- shared by Karl Kemp, the renowned antiques dealer, and Linda Chase, the noted interior designer and...

Alamein to Tunis: The Eighth Army's in North Africa by Adrian Turner, ISBN 0850526663
The British victory at El Alamein in November, 1942, while a decisive turning point in the war, did not immediately lead to the collapse of Axis forces in North Africa. While much depleted, the Afrika Korps escaped from the El Alamein battlefield in good order and fell back on strong defensive positions in Tunisia, bolstered by some of the world's most difficult terrain. German paratroopers and Hermann Goring Division panzergrenadiers were sent to North Africa as reinforcements, Italian units were more capable in the defensive role, and Montgomery could not be sure of the loyalty of Germany's nominal Vichy French allies.
Not even the creation of a second front in North Africa with the arrival of the Americans and fresh British units was enough to dislodge the Axis forces. The author describes in detail the hard campaigning and desperate battles that were necessary to bring about final victory in North Africa. A full description is given of the often-neglected air aspect of the campaign....
