  Are you curious how Donald Trump got elected?Do you wander how many mistakes he’s actually made? Is he incompetent or a monster? He’s both, and this book will prove it. President Donald Trump isn’t a man who’s doing the “best he can”. He’s someone who’s built his power on fear mongering, shady businesses dealings and hate. In this book, the tactics that Trump uses to manipulate his audience will be exposed. The words he wishes that he never said will be dissected, and his actions will only serve to prove his inadequacies as a president. Trump cannot accurately represent the United States when he does not speak for the people. You’ll even find out how Donald Trump is exploiting his presidency for personal gain under a thin veil of deception.

  As RTÉ's Washington correspondent, Caitríona Perry has earned a reputation as a reliable source of truth as the world tries to make sense of the maelstrom of shocking headlines emanating from Donald Trump's America. In her first book, she goes beyond the news reports and delves into the American heartland where she witnessed his rise at first hand, while others were blindsided by his victory.
  Bringing to the table the voices of those who voted for President Trump, the ones whose opinions didn't coalesce with acceptable mainstream discourse – Hillary Clinton's so-called 'basket of deplorables' – Caitríona Perry reveals just what is really happening in America right now
  This is the story of the American people who were angry and disillusioned by traditional politics. It is the story of the workers of the industrial heartland, of the women of America, of immigrant communities, of the people who viewed a wealthy businessman from the city of New York as 'one of us'. This is the story of the people who shook the world.
  'Spellbindingly good. Journeying across America, Caitríona Perry masterfully takes us into the hearts and minds of those who voted for Donald Trump. A triumph of a book.' Prof. Gary Murphy, Head of the School of Law and Government, DCU
  'From the Mexico border to the Oval Office, Caitríona Perry brings us to the coalface of one of the most tempestuous and extraordinary opening periods of any presidency in modern memory.'  Ryan Tubridy
  'In my visits to Ireland since the 2016 election, the most frequent question I get is "How could that happen?" Caitríona Perry answers it honestly and candidly as only someone who takes the time to understand could.'  Cody Keenan, Chief Speechwriter to President Barack Obama
  'Bringing us vivid voices from Trump country, and exploring the emotional landscape in which his campaign took root, this book deepens our understanding of the Trump phenomenon.' Anne Anderson, Former Irish Ambassador to the US.
  'The hopes, contradictions and beliefs of Trump voters brilliantly told – a necessary and insightful book!' Joe Duffy
  'This entertaining and insightful travelogue, through its attention to detail of both place and people, lays bare both the death and residual power of the American Dream.' Prof. Liam Kennedy, Clinton Institute for American Studies, UCD
  'A genuinely fascinating chance to meet the most and least likely Trump voters and find out why his election was ultimately bound to happen.' Rick O'Shea

  What framework can guide Christian engagement with major economic, social and political issues in public life in 21st century Europe?
  What other schools of thought exist apart from Catholic Social Teaching and Christian Democracy?
  
  Sallux has collaborated with the Jubilee Centre in Cambridge over several years to apply a new framework, agenda and strategy for Christian social reform, called Relational Thinking. It starts with the Christian belief that human beings are created by a relational God to form relational societies – the contemporary application of the ancient adage to 'love our neighbour as ourselves'.
  
  This book is a compilation of fi ve reports, two of which discuss the overall concept of Relational Thinking, while the others demonstrate how it can be applied to three contemporary issues: the need for monetary reform, the challenges of artifi cial intelligence and the ethics of remuneration. You can fi nd other examples of issues being analysed from a relational perspective, from business to city transformation.
  
  Deeply biblical, Relational Thinking builds bridges through the language of relationships to connect Christians with people of other faiths or none, and o er a fresh approach to Europe's greatest public policy challenges today.

  The Sane Society

  A New York Times bestseller about overcoming the profound ills of modern society by a legendary social psychologist, the author of Escape from Freedom.  One of Fromm’s main interests was to analyze social systems and their impact on the mental health of the individual. In this study, he reaches further and asks: “Can a society be sick?” He finds that it can, arguing that Western culture is immersed in a “pathology of normalcy” that affects the mental health of individuals. In The Sane Society, Fromm examines the alienating effects of modern capitalism, and discusses historical and contemporary alternatives, particularly communitarian systems. Finally, he presents new ideas for a re-organization of economics, politics, and culture that would support the individual’s mental health and our profound human needs for love and freedom. This ebook features an illustrated biography of Erich Fromm including rare images and never-before-seen documents from the author’s estate.
