About the Author
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.
Reviews
"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
