Sinossi

Irish Land Conflicts explores how disputes between landlords and tenants evolved into a century-long struggle that profoundly shaped Ireland's identity. The book examines the oppressive tenancy laws, widespread evictions, and the rise of agrarian resistance, highlighting that the land question was not just about economics, but a fight for social justice and national self-determination.

 
One intriguing aspect is the role of evictions, which had a devastating impact on rural communities, and another is how restrictive tenancy laws left farmers vulnerable to arbitrary rent increases.

 
Beginning with the historical context of land ownership from the Plantation era, the book dissects the land system's components and the motivations of key players like landlords, tenants, and the British government. It analyzes the Land War of 1879-1882 and subsequent legislative reforms, assessing their effectiveness.

 
The book uniquely blends primary sources with insights from legal history, social history, and political science. It connects the Irish experience to broader themes of colonialism and economic inequality, revealing its relevance to global struggles.

 
The book progresses by first establishing the historical, legal, and social frameworks before examining the key players and culminating in an analysis of the Land War and its aftermath.

    From breaking the law to breaking a promise, how do people lie and how can they be caught? 
     
     
     
    In this revised edition, Paul Ekman, a renowned expert in emotions research and nonverbal communication, adds a new chapter to present his latest research on his groundbreaking inquiry into lying and the methods for uncovering lies. Ekman has figured out the most important behavioral clues to deceit; he has developed a one-hour self-instructional program that trains people to observe and understand "micro expressions"; and he has done research that identifies the facial expressions that show whether someone is likely to become violent—a self-instructional program to train recognition of these dangerous signals has also been developed. 
     
     
     
    Telling Lies describes how lies vary in form and how they can differ from other types of misinformation that can reveal untruths. It discusses how a person's body language, voice, and facial expressions can give away a lie but still fool professional lie hunters—even judges, police officers, drug enforcement agents, and Secret Service agents.

    Artificial intelligence has been a cornerstone of human imagination for decades. Once a concept limited to the realms of science fiction, it has now become a pervasive reality. From the devices in our homes to the algorithms shaping industries, AI is redefining what is possible, often faster than we can adapt. It is a technology that excites, inspires, and sometimes unnerves us – capturing the promise of innovation and the challenges of profound change. 
    As the author of this book, my journey into the world of AI began with a simple question: What does it mean for humanity to coexist with intelligent technology? This question led me down a path of discovery, one that revealed not only the fascinating mechanics of AI but also the intricate interplay between technology and society. 
    This book is not an argument for or against artificial intelligence. It is an exploration – a chance to understand how AI emerged, how it works, and what its presence means for our world.  
    Whether you are a curious learner, a technology enthusiast, or someone navigating AI’s growing presence in everyday life, this book is for you.

    Africa may have given rise to the first humans, and Egypt probably gave rise to the first great civilizations, which continue to fascinate modern societies across the globe nearly 5,000 years later. From the Library and Lighthouse of Alexandria to the Great Pyramid at Giza, the Ancient Egyptians produced several wonders of the world, revolutionized architecture and construction, created some of the world’s first systems of mathematics and medicine, and established language and art that spread across the known world.  
    For almost four millennia, the Great Pyramids of Ancient Egypt have been widely hailed as the single greatest archeological feat man has ever accomplished. The Great Pyramid at Giza is the only one of the seven wonders of the ancient world to have survived into the modern age. Unlike so many pieces of the historical record which have been “re-discovered,” relatively recently (in the grand scheme of things,” in their four thousand years of existence, the Great Pyramids have never allowed themselves to be truly forgotten by the human civilization which has never ceased to regard them with wonder and awe. 
    Egypt also impressed its contemporaries. The 5th century B.C. Greek historian Herodotus wrote that Egypt was “the gift of the Nile” because the river made its soil so fertile and thus helped create one of the first great civilizations. Indeed, the land of Egypt so impressed the Greeks that when Alexander the Great conquered the Nile Valley in the 4th century B.C., he decided that he would build a new city on its soil and name it Alexandria. After Alexander, the city of Alexandria grew and became the most important city in the world for centuries as it watched and played a role in the rise and fall of numerous dynasties. The city also became home to one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World – the Lighthouse of Alexandria – and a center of culture and learning, which was exemplified by the Library of Alexandria.
