Erskine Childers

Maison d'édition: Good Press

Synopsis

In "The Framework of Home Rule," Erskine Childers presents a compelling examination of the political dynamics surrounding the push for Irish self-government during the early 20th century. Written in a succinct yet impassioned style, Childers weaves scholarly analysis with vivid rhetoric, appealing to both intellect and emotion. The text is framed within the broader discourse of nationalism, exploring the social and economic implications of Home Rule through detailed argumentation and a rich historical context, thereby elevating the narrative beyond mere political treatise. Erskine Childers, a prominent figure in the Irish nationalist movement, was deeply influenced by his experiences as an Irishman in Britain and his subsequent commitment to the cause of Irish independence. His multifaceted background as a writer, journalist, and political activist provided him with unique insights into the struggles faced by his homeland. Childers'Äô rich familial and historical connections to the Irish cause shaped his passionate advocacy for Home Rule, making this work not just a political argument but also a deeply personal manifesto. This book is indispensable for anyone seeking to understand the foundational ideas that fueled the quest for Irish autonomy. Childers' synthesis of history, politics, and passion resonates with contemporary discussions about self-determination. Readers interested in the intricate interplay of national identity and governance will find "The Framework of Home Rule" to be an enlightening and enriching addition to their library.

Who’s the Devil: the Other or...

Régis Le Sommier

“We’ve spent nine trillion dollars bombing the Middle East like mad. We’ve sown death there, including our own. And what has it gotten us? Nothing.”
Donald Trump, November 1, 2024.

The figure of the devil has haunted our collective consciousness since the dawn of time. He structures our societies, whether religious or secular. Sometimes, the devil has been a friend before being “demonized”. Sometimes, by force of circumstance, he has become an ally. And sometimes, the devil must be eliminated to mask or even justify the errors of our societies.
Thus, during the Second World War, we made a pact with Stalin to bring down a devil deemed more formidable: Hitler. In Northern Ireland, the British ended up talking with representatives of the IRA, just as the French did a few years earlier with the Algerian FLN. Recently, the Americans negotiated with the Taliban, another terrorist group, before handing over the keys to Afghanistan. Saddam Hussein, Muammar Gaddafi and Bashar al-Assad were friends of the West before the latter precipitated their downfall, even if it meant causing chaos in their countries.
Régis Le Sommier has been a war reporter for 27 years, and has himself interviewed a number of infamous figures. His aim is to revisit the concept of the devil in the light of recent and current conflicts, in order to answer one question: shouldn’t the deleterious consequences of geopolitics conducted “in the name of good” lead us to doubt the validity of the actions taken by our governments, even today, against those they like to refer to as devils?

The Unmasking Workbook for...

LPC-S Jessica Penot

If you grew up before the neurodiversity movement, chances are you were taught at an early age that your autistic traits were "wrong" or "bad." Whether it was stimming, difficulties with making small talk, avoiding eye contact, sensitivities to loud sounds or certain textures, or even talking passionately about the things you care about—somewhere along the way you learned to mask these aspects of yourself to better fit in, avoid bullying from other kids, and in some cases to even gain the love of your own parents. The problem is that, over time, masking can lead to higher levels of stress, burnout, emotional dysregulation, anxiety, suicidal thoughts, and depression. So how can you be your authentic self and still succeed and thrive in a neurotypical world? 
 
 
 
Written by a therapist who is actually autistic, this neurodiversity-affirming workbook offers skills to help you cultivate self-acceptance, manage intense emotions, and be your own advocate when needed. You'll take a good look at the situations or people that caused you to mask in the first place. 
 
 
  
You don't have to mask, hide, or camouflage any longer. Let this workbook guide you on a journey of self-discovery and acceptance. You are worthy of it. And you deserve it.
