The Liturgical Ministry of Deacons
Michael Kwatera OSB
Fr. Michael Kwatera, O.S.B., helps deacons comprehend, share, and effectively perform their ministry by providing both spiritual and functional support. This short work is directed to all deacons, both permanent and transitional, in the hope that it will promote their formation for service within the church's Eucharist, other sacramental rites, and communal prayer. Contents include explanations of the deacon's role in various church situations and liturgies-such as confirmation and marriage-as well as outside of the Mass setting, such as ministering to the sick. With "Petitions for Deacons from Ancient Liturgies" and historical background this book provides an interesting and informative look at the deacon's role in the Catholic Church.

Politics and Change in Spain
Thomas Lancaster and Gary Prevost
Focusing on coalitional decision-making, this book explains the political effects of the transformation of the Spanish regime to a constitutional monarchy following General Franco's death in 1975. Some of the questions which this volume raises are: What happened to the old coalition members? What is their role in the new regime? Do they influence the direction of Spanish democracy? If not, why not? What have been the consequences of any coalitional realignment? Which new coalition members are facilitating change and which are preventing change?

Toward a Christian Economic Ethic: Stewardship and Social Power
Prentiss L. Pemberton and Daniel K. Finn
This book is a call to twentieth-century Christians to marshal a new kind of power, to move against special-interest organizations, to build counter-structures, and to effectively challenge the unjust social structures that are the very root of the United States economy.
This book presents an overview of the history of economic ethics in the Judeo-Christian tradition, offers a straightforward explanation and critique of modern economic theory, relates social justice to economic efficiency, applies the Christian economic ethic to contemporary problems, and demonstrates how we can actually empower this ethic in our society. -

Dual Models
Magnus J. Wenninger OSB
In Dual Models, written in the same enthusiastic style as its predecessors Polyhedron Models and Spherical Models, Magnus J. Wenninger presents the complete set of uniform duals of uniform polyhedral, thus rounding out a significant body of knowledge with respect to polyhedral forms. He begins with the simplest convex solids but then goes on to show how all the more difficult, non convex, uniform polyhedral duals can be derived from a geometric theorem on duality that unifies and systematizes the entire set of such duals. Many of these complex shapes are published here for the first time. Models made by the author are shown in photographs, and these, along with line drawings, diagrams, and commentary, invite readers to undertake the task of making the models, using index cards or tag paper and glue as construction materials. The mathematics is deliberately kept at the high school or secondary level, and hence the book presumes at most some knowledge of geometry and ordinary trigonometry and the use of a scientific type small electronic calculator. The book will be useful as enrichment material for the mathematics classroom and can serve equally well as a source book of ideas for artists and designers of decorative devices or simply as a hobby book in recreational mathematics.
