CUA Press is proud to announce the CUA Studies in Canon Law. In conjunction with the School of Canon Law of the Catholic University of America, we are making available, both digitally and in print, more than 400 canon law dissertations from the 1920s to 1960s, many of which have long been unavailable.These volumes are rich in historical content, yet remain relevant to canon lawyers today. Topics covered include such issues as abortion, excommunication, and infertility. Several studies are devoted to marriage and the annulment process; the acquiring and disposal of church property, including the union of parishes; the role and function of priests, vicars general, bishops, and cardinals; and juridical procedures within the church.For those who seek to understand current ecclesial practices in light of established canon law, these books will be an invaluable resource.

In a landmark collaboration, five co-authors develop a theme of ordinary disruptions ('the everyday') as a source of provocative learning moments that can liberate both student writers and writing centre staff. At the same time, the authors parlay Etienne Wenger's concept of 'community of practice' into an ethos of a dynamic, learner-centred pedagogy that is especially well-suited to the peculiar teaching situation of the writing centre. They push themselves and their field toward deeper, more significant research, more self-conscious teaching.

Ricocheting between the haunted chic of Vienna and the mystical crassness of Los Angeles, between the world of desire and the landscape of dreams, Sleeping In Flame is a hypnotic literary, novel with irresistible elements of fantasy and magic. It is the story of Walker Easterling, who saves a woman' life only to place her in infinitely greater danger by falling in love with her. It's the story of Maris York, an androgynous beauty who arouses incinerating passions in the around her. It is a novel populated by a shaman with a fondness for sandwiches, an autistic Adonis, and a tiny man as powerful and ravenously jealous as the God of the Old Testament. Praised by writers ranging from Stanislaw Lam to Stephen King, Jonathan Carroll has made Sleeping In Flame a dizzying tour de force of tenderness and terror, realistic suspense and mythic imagination.
