  The Republic of Ireland has changed much in the last few decades. It has become much more socially liberal, urban, secular and wealthy. It has also experienced large-scale immigration during a period when other Anglophone and many other European countries mainstream political parties have witnessed the exploitation of anti-immigrant nativism by some political mainstream parties as well as by the far right. Diverse Republic examines, as part of a wider focus on how immigration has changed Irish society, the emergence of antiimmigrant far-right groups through a focus on some key figures within these. It also considers the response of mainstream politics to immigration and examines efforts to encourage the integration of newcomers.The first part of the book examines how Irish society and identity has changed since the foundation of the state. This is relevant to the second part, which examines how and to what extent far right anti-immigration politics are likely to flourish or not in the Irish case. The second part of the book examines the appeal of far-right political responses to immigration in a context where some Irish citizens no longer appear to be represented by the political mainstream and where nativist populists lay claim to the symbols and heroes of the Republic.Diverse Republic makes the case for proactive measures to promote immigrant integration and social cohesion through citizenship, social policy and community development. It engages with shifting nationalist understandings of Irishness and makes the case for taking these seriously even if anti-immigrant nativist nationalism has found only fringe support in Irish politics to date. The symbols and history of what has become a diverse Republic should not become the property of those who would exclude some of its citizens.

  Aphrodite: Captivating Greek...

  Did you know that Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty, was also associated with the sea? 
  Born from a strange mixture of divine blood, severed genitals, and seafoam, Aphrodite washed up on the shores of Cyprus long before the emergence of her fellow Olympians. A figure who is as petty as she is relatable, she is not only a key deity of the Greek pantheon, but she is also a central figure in many of the myths we know and love today. 
  With influences possibly rooted in the goddesses Ishtar and Astarte, there are scholars who believe that the concept of Aphrodite was imported to Greece from the Middle East or West Asia. Contact between cultures might have led to her incorporation into the main Greek pantheon, with her foreign origins explaining some of the regional differences regarding her birth and personality. While her connections to beauty and love are her most well-known attributes, places like Sparta and Cyprus also viewed her as a war goddess. 
  This audiobook focuses on myths that are either centered around Aphrodite or feature her as an important character. Because of her volatile nature and quick temper, Aphrodite could just as often be a force for good as she could be a force for evil. While it would be impossible to gather all the different stories related to Aphrodite in their entirety in one collection, this audiobook provides a nice, if somewhat modest, the assortment of narratives that display different facets of this fascinatingly complex goddess. 
  Some of the myths you’ll discover in this audiobook are:Aphrodite’s birth and unexpected marriageThe life and death of AdonisHow Psyche and Eros’ love defied divine wrathPygmalion’s arrogance and his unusual mistressThe beginnings of the greatest war ever fought

  Machiavellianism - Manipulative...

  Machiavellianism is a philosophy that prioritizes power, strategy, and manipulation over conventional morality. Rooted in the writings of Niccolò Machiavelli, particularly The Prince, this mindset champions pragmatism and cunning as necessary tools for success. Machiavellianism does not concern itself with what is right or wrong in a moral sense; instead, it focuses on what is effective. Those who embrace this approach believe that power is not given but taken, and maintaining it requires calculated decisions rather than ethical considerations. 
  At its core, Machiavellianism operates on the assumption that people are driven by self-interest and can be easily influenced, deceived, or controlled. While traditional morality emphasizes honesty, fairness, and compassion, a Machiavellian sees these values as potential weaknesses when navigating competitive environments. Success, according to this philosophy, is reserved for those who can manipulate perceptions, control narratives, and strategically outmaneuver others. This way of thinking is often observed in politics, business, and personal relationships, where the ability to influence others determines one's level of power. 
  One of the key aspects of Machiavellianism is the belief that the ends justify the means. A leader, politician, or corporate executive following this mindset may employ deceit, flattery, or even betrayal to secure and maintain power. Machiavelli himself argued that rulers must sometimes act immorally for the greater stability of their state. In the modern world, this principle manifests in various ways, from corporate takeovers to political campaigns that use misinformation to sway public opinion.
