This in-depth and comprehensive resource explores the intersection of religion, politics, and the supernatural that spawned the notorious witch hunts in Europe and the New World. Witch Hunts in the Western World traces the evolution of Western attitudes toward magic, demons, and religious nonconformity from the Roman Empire through the Age of Enlightenment, placing these chilling events into a wider social and historical context. Brian A. Pavlac discusses witch hunts in fascinating detail by region, highlighting the cultural differences of the people who incited them as well as the key reforms, social upheavals, and intellectual debates that shaped European thought. Vivid accounts of trials and excerpts from the writings of both witch hunters and defenders throughout the Holy Roman Empire, France, the British Isles and colonies, Southern Europe, Scandinavia, and Eastern Europe bring to life one of the most intriguing and shocking issues in Western history. Accessible narrative chapters make this a fascinating volume for general readers while offering a wealth of historical information for students and scholars. Features include a complete glossary of terms, a timeline of major events, recommended reading selections, an index, and illustrations.

Water for a Thirsty Soul
Format: Kindle
Dr. Ana's books are always such a pleasure to read. They are filled with divine knowledge and revelation and this book is no exception...it is like water for a thirsty soul. It gives a divine perspective to the spiritual reality that we have devalued so much in exchange for the comfort of a world we have built for our own comfort. This book offers a lot to process and it has left me wanting more...particularly in the area of connecting and living from our celestial body.

Looks good works great
Item Package Quantity: 1, Color: Black
This paper towel holder is simple, sturdy, and works exactly as it should. It holds the roll securely and makes it easy to tear off sheets with one hand. The design is clean and attractive, so it looks great on the countertop without taking up too much space. No assemble required and a great value overall.

Functional and beautiful!
Item Package Quantity: 1, Color: Silver
This towel holder is a fantastic find! It is always great when a product exceeds your expectations and this towel holder is exactly that. At first, I was not sure if the price was worth it but when I opened the box, I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the product. It is solid and well made with a heavy base that makes pulling paper towels with one hand a breeze. The mandrel is thick and provides excellent rotational ability. Overall A+. I highly recommend spending a few extra bucks on a functional piece that enhances the overall appearance of a kitchen.

This is a nice paper towel holder. I keep it on my counter and it looks great. Its easy to use although I haven't tried it one handed. I like it and I think it was a good price. It was very heavy and works great.
