|  | Bringing Forth Justice by Daniel E. Pilarczyk
We all seek justice. We know we are called to practice justice. But we have many questions about justice: Who decides what is due to each? On what basis is that determination made? What are my rights as a human being, as a member of society, as an individual relating to other individuals? Where do these rights come from? How do I know if I am being just to others and if others are being just to me? What is the role of government and law in all this? Archbishop Daniel Pilarczyk responds clearly to these questions and more: Justice is not so much an obligation as a gift. It is an opportunity to take part in God's loving care for the world, to assist God in making the world everything it was meant to be. The Church -- the community of God's people -- and the teachings of scriptures can point us in the direction of justice when we turn to them for guidance. Ultimately, justice belongs to God.

 | Mutts by Brian Kilcommons, Matthew J. Costello
Mutts: America's Dogs is the encyclopedia of mixed-breed dogs: who they are, what they do, how they do it, and what kind of companions they will make in your life. Delving into the temperaments, personalities, and skills of dogs ranging from the ever-popular Benji-type dog to the beautiful and wondrous Greyhound-Labrador Retriever mix, Mutts profiles over a hundred mixed-breed dogs - Working Mutts, Sporting Mutts, Hound Mutts, Mystery Mutts, and more - with a special emphasis on their trainability and how they fit into human families. Find out how hybrid vigor can create a healthier dog from two pure breeds, so that a Rottweiler-Shepherd mix may be a more trouble-free pet than a pure Rottie or Shepherd, or a Golden Retriever mix may be preferable to the popular, but increasingly physically and temperamentally compromised, pure Golden. Along the way, Mutts is full of wonderful photographs of America's dogs and heartwarming, sometimes heartbreaking, and often hilarious first-person accounts of acts of extraordinary loyalty, courage, and intelligence from not-so-ordinary dogs.
