Employing a vivid literary style, Brady blends meticulous historical research with gripping storytelling, capturing the complexities of warfare, cultural clashes, and the human experience on both sides of the conflict. His work encapsulates not only the spirit of the western frontier but also the broader socio-political ramifications of colonial expansion, positioning the book within the rich tradition of American frontier literature.

    Through centuries of oppression, we were tenants in our own land.
Today, despite our independence and new-found affluence, we are in the midst of a crisis.
The question of who owns Ireland is once again taking on a sense of urgency. Is the land of Ireland still for the people of Ireland?
In a deep and far-reaching investigation, journalist, broadcaster and No. 1 bestselling author Matt Cooper examines the power wielded by those who control the land where we live, work and play. Who are they, how did they acquire so much and what does it mean for ordinary citizens when the ownership of key resources like shopping centres, wind farms, forestry and data centres comes from outside?
This is a story about how power and money influence and control the present and the future of Ireland … sometimes for good and sometimes for bad. Filled with riveting detail, this compelling story of who really owns Ireland is an essential account of the issues that affect every single one of us living on this island.

    Journey from the Isle of Skye to the Deep South, to the Rockies and beyond.
A dance was devised in eighteenth-century Skye. An exhilarating dance. A dance, a visitor reports, 'the emigration from Skye has occasioned'. The visitor asks for the dance's name. 'They call it America,' he's told.
Over a period of three centuries, many thousands of people left the islands and wider north of Scotland to make new lives across the sea. In this new edition of his acclaimed book, historian James Hunter follows in their footsteps – from the Deep South to the Rockies and beyond – to tell the story of the Highland impact on the New World.
In doing so, he reveals how soldiers, explorers, guerrilla fighters, fur traders, lumberjacks, railways builders and settlers from Scotland's glens and islands contributed much to the USA and Canada. It is the story of how a hard-pressed people found in North America a land of opportunity.
In this edition features a new introduction from James Hunter, where he reflects on what led him to embark on travels and researches that took him across a continent.

    This is an audiobook of Bodhi Leaves No. 55 by Francis Story (Anāgārika Sugatānanda), The Scientific Approach to Buddhism and The Appeal of Buddhism, two essays narrated by Christa Michel. The print edition can be found in the Pariyatti Edition of Collected Bodhi Leaves Vol. 2. The eBook of Bodhi Leaves No. 55 can be downloaded from the BPS website. 
Excerpt from The Scientific Approach to Buddhism: 
At present it may look as though man has only searched out the secrets of the universe in order to destroy himself with the power he has acquired; and of that there is certainly a danger. But I believe that a change in outlook is beginning to dawn, and that science itself, having destroyed the basis of much wrong thinking, is drawing us ever nearer to the realisation of the truth proclaimed by the Enlightened One. This is what I mean by “the scientific approach to Buddhism;” without being aware of it, the modern scientist and philosopher are being propelled irresistibly in the direction of Buddhism. Their uncertainties and doubts are spiritual “growing pains;” but a time will come quickly when they will realise that, although they have had to reject everything on which their ordinary religious and moral beliefs are founded, there is a higher religion—one based upon systematic investigation and the sincere search for truth—which will restore their lost faith in the universal principles of justice, truth and compassion. Those who now believe that man has come to the end of his tether will then see the opening up of vistas into the future that they only dimly suspect, and will recognise, beyond it all, the final goal of complete emancipation from the fetters of ignorance and delusion.

Surah An-Nas, the 114th chapter of The Holy Quran, is known as "The Mankind." It is a brief but profound chapter consisting of six verses. The surah emphasizes seeking refuge in Allah SWT from the whispers of Shaytan (Satan) and evil inclinations that may lead one astray. It highlights the universal nature of human vulnerability to such influences and the importance of seeking protection from them. An-Nas is considered a Makki surah, meaning it was revealed in the earlier period of Prophet Muhammad SAW mission, during his time in Makkah. 
The Surah begins with the invocation "I seek refuge with (Allah SWT), the Lord of mankind." It continues to describe Shaytan as the whisperer who retreats when Allah's name is mentioned, emphasizing the power of divine protection. The Surah concludes with a reminder of Allah's sovereignty and mercy, urging believers to seek refuge in Him alone. An-Nas is often recited for seeking protection from evil, both physical and spiritual, and for seeking guidance in times of distress. Its concise yet profound message makes it a cornerstone of daily prayers and supplications for Muslims worldwide.

Destaca la naturaleza universal de la vulnerabilidad humana ante tales influencias y la importancia de buscar protección contra ellas. An-Nas se considera una sura Makki, es decir, que fue revelada en los primeros tiempos de la misión del Profeta Muhammad SAW, durante su estancia en La Meca.
