   Celebrated in song by Christy Moore and affectionately recalled in many memoirs, Robert "Bob" Hilliard, the author's grandfather, is one of Ireland's best-known International Brigadistas. His short life blazed with a rare intensity; his death in Spain left a dark shadow hanging over his family. This book unravels Hilliard's enigmas to bring us an absorbing character and a fresh understanding of the times that shaped him.  
   Hilliard was radicalised at school by the Irish revolution. Variously a journalist, an Olympic boxer for Ireland and a Church of Ireland priest, he became a communist and anti-fascist in London, fought with the International Brigades in the Spanish Civil War and died of wounds sustained at the Battle of Jarama. Eloquent and colourful, he inspires puzzlement as well as admiration. Why was his life so full of contradictions? One question haunted the author's mother: how could he leave his children?  
   Lin Rose Clark sets out to find answers. Through meticulous research and a deeply personal exploration of her family's past, she brings together an engrossing picture of the man and a tale of flawed romance, passionate commitment and war, portraying Hilliard as part of a turbulent history that still reverberates today.

  The groundbreaking bestseller from iconic behavioral psychologist Dan Ariely, now the inspiration for the Fall 2023 NBC show The Irrational 
  “A marvelous book that is both thought provoking and highly entertaining, ranging from the power of placebos to the pleasures of Pepsi. Ariely unmasks the subtle but powerful tricks that our minds play on us, and shows us how we can prevent being fooled.” — Jerome Groopman, New York Times bestselling author of How Doctors Think 
  “Ariely is a genius at understanding human behavior: no economist does a better job of uncovering and explaining the hidden reasons for the weird ways we act, in the marketplace and out. Predictably Irrational will reshape the way you see the world, and yourself, for good.” — James Surowiecki, author of The Wisdom of Crowds 
  Why do our headaches persist after we take a one-cent aspirin but disappear when we take a fifty-cent aspirin? Why do we splurge on a lavish meal but cut coupons to save twenty-five cents on a can of soup? 
  When it comes to making decisions in our lives, we think we're making smart, rational choices. But are we? In this revised and expanded edition of the groundbreaking New York Times bestseller, Dan Ariely refutes the common assumption that we behave in fundamentally rational ways. From drinking coffee to losing weight, from buying a car to choosing a romantic partner, we consistently overpay, underestimate, and procrastinate. Yet these misguided behaviors are neither random nor senseless. They're systematic and predictable—making us predictably irrational.

  A gently powerful memoir about deepening your relationship with your homeland. 
   
   
   
  For the first time in more than twenty-five years, Greg Sarris—whose novels are esteemed alongside those of Louise Erdrich and Stephen Graham Jones—presents a book about his own life. In Becoming Story he asks: What does it mean to be truly connected to the place you call home—to walk where innumerable generations of your ancestors have walked? And what does it mean when you dedicate your life to making that connection even deeper? Moving between his childhood and the present day, Sarris creates a kaleidoscopic narrative about the forces that shaped his early years and his eventual work as a tribal leader. He considers the deep past, historical traumas, and possible futures of his homeland. His acclaimed storytelling skills are in top form here, and he charts his journey in prose that is humorous, searching, and profound. Described as "jewellike" by the San Francisco Chronicle, Becoming Story is also a gently powerful guide in the art of belonging to the place where you live.

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
  From Ancient Arenas to Digital Fields: The Evolution of Sports Through the Ages is a sweeping journey through the history of human competition, play, and physical expression. Tracing the path of sport from its ritualistic beginnings in early human societies to the dazzling world of esports today, this book explores how games have always been more than just recreation. They have been windows into culture, identity, politics, and the human spirit itself. 
  The story begins in the ancient world, where contests were rituals intertwined with spiritual life, survival skills, and community celebrations. The Greeks carried this vision further with the Olympics, merging athletic excellence with ideals of harmony, discipline, and divine honor. Rome added grandeur and spectacle, transforming sport into a mass performance staged in colossal arenas, where gladiators, charioteers, and emperors used entertainment as a tool for both unity and political power. 
  Moving into the Middle Ages, the book explores the martial sports of knights, jousts, and chivalry, alongside the rough folk games played in village squares. These events reveal how sport both reflected and shaped social order, from feudal loyalties down to peasant celebrations. The Renaissance and early modern eras introduced rules, codifications, and the beginnings of clubs that would transform chaotic pastimes into recognizable sports, laying the foundation for modern professionalism. 
  The Age of Empires and colonial expansion carried games across borders, introducing cricket, football, and polo to far-flung corners of the world, where they often became symbols of both imperial power and subtle resistance. By the nineteenth century, professionalism took root—clubs, leagues, and international teams turned sport into an institution that began to dominate cultural and national identities.
