Summary

"Inca Roads" explores the Qhapaq Ñan, the extensive road system that was the backbone of the Inca Empire. This book examines how the Inca civilization, despite lacking the wheel and a written language, constructed an impressive network rivaling Roman roads. It delves into how this ancient engineering marvel facilitated political control, economic development, and the integration of diverse cultures across the Andes.

 
The Qhapaq Ñan wasn't just about transportation; it was a strategic tool for managing a vast empire. The book uncovers the road's construction techniques and its impact on imperial administration, trade, communication, and even religious practices. The Chasqui system, a network of messengers, used the roads to rapidly relay information across the empire, enabling the Inca to govern effectively.

 
"Inca Roads" emphasizes the importance of understanding the Qhapaq Ñan to appreciate the sophistication of Inca society. The book progresses systematically, beginning with the empire's historical context, then detailing the road's construction, its function in various aspects of Inca life, and its lasting legacy.

    Redress: Ireland's Institutions...

    How will Ireland redress its legacy of institutional abuse? What constitutes justice? What is Transitional Justice? How might democracy evolve if survivors' experiences and expertise were allowed to lead the response to a century of gender- and family separation-based abuses? REDRESS: Ireland's Institutions and Transitional Justice seeks the answers. This collection explores the ways in which Ireland – North and South – treats those who suffered in Magdalene Laundries, Mother and Baby Homes, County Homes, industrial and reformatory schools, and in a closed and secretive adoption system, over the last 100 years. The essays focus on the structures which perpetuated widespread and systematic abuses in the past and consider how political arrangements continue to exert power over survivors, adopted people and generations of relatives, as well as controlling the remains and memorialisation of the dead. As we mark the centenary of both jurisdictions on the island of Ireland, REDRESS: Ireland's Institutions and Transitional Justice forensically examines the two states' so-called 'redress' schemes and investigations, and the statements of apology that accompanied them. With diverse and interdisciplinary perspectives, this collection considers how a Transitional Justice-based, survivor-centred, approach might assist those personally affected, policy makers, the public, and academics to evaluate the complex ways in which both the Republic and Northern Ireland (and other states in a comparative context) have responded to their histories of institutionalisation and family separation. Importantly, the essays collected in REDRESS: Ireland's Institutions and Transitional Justice seek to offer avenues by which to redress this legacy of continuing harms.

The Editors are donating all royalties in the name of survivors and all those affected by Ireland's carceral institutions and family separation to the charity Empowering People in Care (EPIC).

    This book contains the following two titles: 
- The Framing Effect: The framing effect is a psychological phenomenon in which the way information is presented influences the decisions and judgments individuals make. Whether through subtle word choices, visual cues, or contextual manipulation, the manner in which something is framed can have a profound impact on how we perceive it and how we respond. This effect reveals that our decision-making processes are not purely logical or objective, but rather, they are shaped by cognitive biases and the surrounding context. 
- The Anchoring Effect: The anchoring effect is a cognitive bias that has significant implications for how people make decisions. It refers to the phenomenon where individuals rely heavily on the first piece of information they receive when making subsequent judgments. This initial information, known as the "anchor," serves as a reference point, influencing how individuals perceive and evaluate all related information. The anchoring effect has been studied extensively in the fields of psychology, economics, and decision science, revealing how it subtly but powerfully shapes human judgment, often without people being aware of its influence.
