Sinopse

In "About Ireland," E. Lynn Linton presents a rich tapestry of insights and observations that capture the essence of Irish life in the late 19th century. The book is notable for its blend of travel writing and social commentary, employing a keenly observant narrative style that invites readers into the heart of Ireland's cultural landscape. Linton deftly examines various facets of Irish society, from its landscapes and folklore to its political nuances, all while embedding her personal experiences as an English visitor, thereby challenging preconceived notions and providing a nuanced perspective on the Irish identity amid contemporary socio-political dynamics. E. Lynn Linton was a prominent novelist and essayist whose life experiences significantly influenced her work. Born in England and living in a period marked by the complexities of British-Irish relations, her interactions with Irish culture and her evolution as a literary voice helped shape her understanding of national character and belonging. Linton's broader literary career reflects her commitment to exploring themes of gender, social convention, and nationality, which are intricately interwoven into the fabric of "About Ireland." This compelling exploration is a must-read for anyone interested in the intersections of travel, culture, and literature. Linton's articulate prose and incisive reflections not only enlighten the reader about Ireland's multifaceted identity but also spark a deeper appreciation for the rich tapestry of human experience across borders. Readers will find themselves both informed and engaged, making Linton's work a valuable contribution to Irish studies and travel literature.

    From The Shortest History series comes the complete history of democracy, its champions, and its detractors—from the assemblies of ancient Mesopotamia to present perils 
     
     
     
    This tumultuous global story begins with democracy's radical core idea: We can collaborate, as equals, to determine our own lives and futures. John Keane traces how this concept emerged and evolved, from the earliest "assembly democracies" to European-style electoral democracy to our present system of "monitory democracy." Today, governments answer not only to voters on Election Day, but to intense public scrutiny (monitoring) every day. Keane calls this media- and communication-driven system "the most complex and vibrant form of democracy yet"—but it is not invulnerable. 
     
     
     
    We live in an age of political and environmental crisis, when despots in China, Russia, Saudi Arabia, and elsewhere reject the promises of power-sharing. At this urgent moment, Keane's book mounts a new defense of a precious global ideal.

    Jane Austen is well-known for some famous books, among which the popular “Pride and Prejudice.” As an author in the early 1800s, many people may envision pretty dresses and fancy demeanor, but the reality of her life included some hardships as well that may not be so obvious by reading her novels. 
    In this comprehensive guide, we shed more light on her situation, her road to success, her family life, and the trials she faced in a time when the culture was very different. The roles of men and women, the interaction between parents and children, and the economic situation can be unimaginable for us if we don’t try to expose enough details and paint a detailed picture of that era in history. 
    Jane’s literature has made a serious impact on today’s book market, the movie industry, and so much more. Let’s slide back the curtain and reveal the making of a talented, now-famous author!

    Silicon for microchips; manganese for batteries; titanium for missiles. 
     
    The moon contains a wealth of natural resources. So, as the Earth’s supplies have begun to dwindle, it is no surprise that the world’s superpowers and wealthiest corporations have turned their eyes to the stars. As this new Space Race begins, A.C. Grayling asks: who, if anyone, owns the moon? Or Mars? Or other bodies in near space? And what do those superpowers and corporations owe to Planet Earth and its inhabitants as a whole? 
     
    From feudal common land, through the rules of the sea, to the vast, nationless expanse of Antarctica, Grayling explores the history of the places which no one, and therefore everyone, owns. Examining the many ways this so-called terra nullius has fallen victim to ‘the tragedy of the commons’ – the tendency for communal resources to be exploited by a few individuals for personal gain at the expense of everyone else – Who Owns the Moon? puts forward a compelling argument for a bold new global consensus, one which recognises and defends the rights of everyone who lives on this planet.
