Chris Lowney served as a Jesuit seminarian for seven years, and
later served JP Morgan & Co. as a Managing Director on three
continents. A Vanished World follows his acclaimed, award winning
first book, Heroic Leadership: Best Practices from a 450-Year-Old
Company that Changed the World. Lowney has raised money for charity
by trekking the 500-mile medieval pilgrimage route to Santiago de
Compostela that figures prominently
in A Vanished World.
"Masterfully tells of a time when Muslims, Christians, and Jews
coexisted and flourished religiously, intellectually, and
civilizationally."--John Esposito, author of What Everyone Needs to
Know About Islam
"Lowney tells the tale of coexistence, and its eventual unraveling,
with detail, delicacy, and verve.... This bold and compassionate
articulation of medieval Spanish history, with its complex
interactions among Jews, Muslims, and Christians, speaks directly
to contemporary international crises."--Publishers Weekly (starred
review)
"A coherent and exciting history.... Lowney successfully brings the
story of medieval Spain to a wider audience and draws out of this
rich history important lessons for the post-9/11 world."--Christian
Science Monitor
"Lowney's accomplished work comprehensibly covers medieval Spain
and connects the country's past to its present." -- Booklist
