Between the two Ryan brothers, there is little in terms of hunting and shooting that they have not experimented with. Field Tests is the compendium of everything they've learned about cartridges, firearms, hunting and the equipment related to those pastimes. This book covers more than forty popular cartridges that the Ryan brothers have used under real world field conditions, along with reviews of just about every popular make and model of hunting firearm on the market. Included, as well, is information on reloading equipment such as dies, bullets, powders, brass and the best combinations to make your hunting more successful. Whether you chase gophers or elk, like hunting with rifles or handguns, have been hunting for years or are just getting started, this book has the answers you are looking for when it comes to ballistics, firearms, reloading and the real world applications of each. Anyone going out in the field should own a copy of Field Tests.

This book's central concern is that conscience does not stand alone: it needs to be nourished and guided by virtues and strengthened by prayer together with worship in a faith community. It examines three aspects of conscience-foundational moral awareness; the right to religious freedom; the sexual abuse crisis facing the Catholic Church. The spotlight then shifts to virtue in action as in: exemplars and wisdom such as Jesus Christ; Dag Hammarskjöld's Markings; contemporary studies in witness and moral development (for instance, Emmanuel Levinas, Raimond Gaita, Pope Francis); the ethical dilemma confronting St Joseph, the foster-father of Jesus. We then consider Evelyn Underhill and how authentic spirituality is oriented towards accountability, action, and worship. This leads to a discussion of the role of the Church's liturgical prayer in the sensitizing of responsible decision-making in our various relationships. There is a final survey of the changing landscape of Catholic theological ethics emerging in our post-pandemic world.

Stories of living behind a funeral home growing up and experiencing the in and out of that life.

This thesis analyses Friedrich Nietzsche's (1844-1900) development of an art of livingindebted to classical and Hellenistic philosophies in The Gay Science. Nietzsche's debtto the ancients revolves around their shared conception of philosophy as an "art ofhealing the soul".1 The philosopher as therapist or physician is one who cares for thesoul in the same way the medical doctor cares for the body. While the theme of thephilosophical physician is a constant presence in Nietzsche's oeuvre, his most directengagement with ancient therapies occurs throughout the 'free-spirit trilogy', whichculminates in 1882's The Gay Science.2 The ancient therapeutic tradition grantsNietzsche a standpoint from which he can await a "philosophical physician in theexceptional sense of that word".3 Compared with his and our contemporaries, thisorientation radically alters what is at stake in the practice of philosophy, in Nietzsche'swords, not "'truth' but something else-let us say, health, future, growth, power, life".
