  The incomparable George Hamilton returns with a superb offering of travails and anecdotes spanning his five decades on our airwaves and on our screens, always at the heart of Irish culture. 
  Picking up where his first offering, The Nation Holds Its Breath, left off, George continues to illuminate the path that took him from the Cregagh Road in Belfast to the most extraordinary locations across the world. Whether going behind the scenes of his beloved Lyric FM show or reliving the dramatic events of the 100-metre final at the 1988 Seoul Olympics, the reader will be captivated once more by George’s storytelling as he expertly weaves tales and paints the most evocative pictures. 
   
  Sport, music and travel are intertwined throughout – George’s love for all three evident on every page. His writing style is consistently surprising; the reader is never quite certain where George is taking them but few will be able to resist being caught up in the stories and going along for the ride. 
   
  The Hamilton Notes is a delightful manifestation of that old adage – ‘It’s not the destination, it’s the journey.’ And there could be no finer raconteur to guide the reader along the way.

  "Having lived through these experiences and been unable to speak out - not knowing how to use my voice to ask for help - I am thrilled that I am finally being heard and my story is being told." 
  This is a memoir about childhood neglect; childhood sexual abuse; and living in care - but it is also one of the best examples of resilience and survival. 
  Groomed and abused as a child, Liz could easily have crumbled. Instead, she stood up and saw justice done. 
  But Hear Me is more than one woman's story - as remarkable and powerfully written as that story is. 
  It is also a call to arms for the unheard victims across the country. Liz is fiercely passionate about spreading awareness of child neglect, abuse, poverty, living in care and how that can impact people throughout life, and limit their chances of achieving their full potential. 
  She is determined to have an impact on this subject, to be a voice for change. Until these topics are highlighted on prime-time TV, on drive time radio shows, and are discussed around the dinner table and in the playground, abusers will continue to abuse, protected by a blanket of fear. Liz is hopeful her story will contribute to a change in the culture we live in. 
  Despite the horrors she has endured, Hear Me is also a beautifully, sometimes even funny, memoir which will make readers stop in their tracks and really think.

  "The wind was a living thing. It tore at his clothes, roared in his ears, clawed at the edges of his resolve. The aluminum skin of the Boeing 727 thrummed beneath his feet, the open airstair rattling in the cold November night..." What began as one man's audacious airline hijacking, extortion and theft of $200,000 in ransom money, and subsequent escape and disappearance, transformed over the years and decades from a simple criminal act into a tale of myth and folklore--making the name, D.B. Cooper, an true American legend.
