The book takes a chapter by chapter approach with each chapter and author discussing a different facet of Irish crime writing for example, Declan Hughes discusses the influence of American culture on Irish crime writing and Tana French reflects on crime fiction and the post-Celtic Tiger Irish identity. This publication is aimed at both the academic and general reader.

    Farhad, overwhelmed by excessive drinking, escapes the party and takes refuge in the bathroom. Ahmad, Farhad's close friend, joins him there. Both prefer the solitude of the bathroom over the celebration outside, choosing to spend their time in isolation. Ahmad believes the reason their friendship and deep bond have endured since adolescence is "honesty” and “transparency”. However, as they go through their past reflecting on their memories, signs such as mood swings, lack of focus, emotional instability, and particularly drowsiness, exacerbated by alcohol, begin to surface, reshaping their bond in their middle age. Unaware, the party is nearing its end, and the sun is beginning to rise.

    Dive into Jonathan Swift’s A Modest Proposal, a timeless satire that masterfully uses irony to critique 18th-century economic policies. Swift, the foremost prose satirist in the English language, presents a shocking and provocative solution to alleviate Ireland’s economic distress. This audacious proposal is not only a darkly humorous masterpiece but also a sharp commentary on human nature and societal indifference. 
    Swift’s work is an essential read for anyone interested in the power of satire to challenge and reflect upon societal norms. A Modest Proposal remains relevant, urging readers to question the morality and implications of our socio-political landscapes. Perfect for lovers of classic literature and sharp wit, this audiobook promises an engaging and thought-provoking journey through Swift’s most infamous work.

    The Individualization of War -...

    The rights and responsibilities of the individual are at the center of today's armed conflicts in a way that they have never been before. This process of "individualization," which challenges the primacy of the sovereign state, is driven by normative developments related to human rights that have elevated human-centric conceptions of security and created a new class of international crimes, as well as by technological and strategic developments that can both empower individuals as military actors and enable either the targeting or protection of particular individuals. 
     
     
     
    The Individualization of War examines the status of individuals in contemporary armed conflict in three main capacities: as subject to violence but deserving of protection; as liable to harm because of their responsibility for attacks on others; and as agents who can be held accountable for the perpetration of crimes. This book presents a novel conceptualization of the phenomenon of individualization, including how it is both practiced and contested. It then convenes a set of leading thinkers from the fields of moral philosophy, international law, and international relations to further our understanding of not only how individualization is manifest in armed conflict—in theory and in practice—but also how it generates tensions and challenges for today's scholars and practitioners.

    If You Lived Here You'd Be Home...

    The hilarious, charming, and candid story of writer Christopher Ingraham’s decision to uproot his life and move his family to Red Lake Falls, Minnesota, population 1,400—the community he made famous as “the worst place to live in America” in a story he wrote for the Washington Post. 
    Like so many young American couples, Chris Ingraham and his wife Briana were having a difficult time making ends meet as they tried to raise their twin boys in the East Coast suburbs. One day, Chris—in his role as a “data guy” reporter at the Washington Post—stumbled on a study that would change his life. It was a ranking of America’s 3,000+ counties from ugliest to most scenic. He quickly scrolled to the bottom of the list and gleefully wrote the words “The absolute worst place to live in America is (drumroll please) … Red Lake County, Minn.” The story went viral, to put it mildly.   
    Among the reactions were many from residents of Red Lake County. While they were unflappably polite—it’s not called “Minnesota Nice” for nothing—they challenged him to look beyond the spreadsheet and actually visit their community. Ingraham, with slight trepidation, accepted.   Impressed by the locals’ warmth, humor and hospitality —and ever more aware of his financial situation and torturous commute—Chris and Briana eventually decided to relocate to the town he’d just dragged through the dirt on the Internet. 
    If You Lived Here You’d Be Home by Now is the story of making a decision that turns all your preconceptions—good and bad—on their heads. In Red Lake County, Ingraham experiences the intensity and power of small-town gossip, struggles to find a decent cup of coffee, suffers through winters with temperatures dropping to forty below zero, and unearths some truths about small-town life that the coastal media usually miss. It’s a wry and charming tale—with data!—of what happened to one family brave enough to move waaaay beyond its comfort zone.
