  The 'Rainbow Government', that was how the media described the Fine Gael, Labour and Democratic Left coalition government that John Bruton led from late 1994 to June 1997, arguably the most left wing government in the history of the state.
  In Under the Rainbow, Shane Kenny uses his unique perspective as government press secretary to deliver the ultimate insider account of this crucial juncture in Irish politics; a period which contained critical breakthroughs in the Northern Ireland peace process, the most high profile murder in the history of the state (Veronica Guerin), the establishment of the 'payments to politicians' tribunal, which finally exposed the sources of Charles Haughey's wealth, and a divorce referendum which heralded the dawn of a changing Ireland.
  With anecdotes and quotations from the author's own notes and tapes from the time, Under the Rainbow is a singular chronicle of political and economic achievement, aligned with professional and personal tragedy – a captivating mix of the atmosphere and facts of government life.

  Professor Greg Wrenn likes to tell his nature-writing students, "The ecological is personal, and the personal is ecological." What he's never told them is how he's lived out those correspondences to heal from childhood abuse at the hands of his mother. 
   
   
   
  Weaving together memoir and cutting-edge science, Mothership is not just a queer coming-of-age story. It's a deeply researched account of how coral reefs and a psychedelic tea called ayahuasca helped Greg heal from complex PTSD—a disorder of trust, which makes the very act of bonding with someone else panic-inducing. From the tide pools in Florida where he grew up, to Indonesia's Raja Ampat archipelago and the Amazon rainforest, this is his search for wholeness when talk therapy and pharmaceuticals did little to help. Along the way, as his ecological conscience wakes up, he takes listeners underwater to the last pristine reefs on earth, and into the psyche. 
   
   
   
  Written with prophetic urgency, Mothership ultimately asks if doses of nature will be enough to save us before it's too late.

  Do you embrace your life and how you came to be who you are today? While that can sometimes be painful, it could be the most powerful thing you ever do. Witness this power through the legacy of Victor Mycynek (1943-2004). 
  Victor-an engineer, craftsman, and forestry enthusiast-was not a politician, celebrity, CEO, or business owner. He wasn't an artist or in the military. He didn't live through the era of social media influencers. Still, just by being himself, he inspired the richest and fullest life possible for many who knew him. It would be an understatement to say he used his time well. 
  Victor's son, Steven, proves through stories about his father, some happy or sad, some funny or just plain odd, that accepting who you are and where you came from, quirks and all, can unleash an awesome force to impact the world around you for the better. Following Victor's example, we all can learn to use our time well.
