Synopsis

Scobie Donoghue was once the king of the weekend. His twenties were spent working hard and playing harder. A lovable rogue, the lads wanted to be him and the girls wanted to be with him.
But now, about to turn forty and returning to his small midlands hometown, Scobie is back in his childhood bed, single, burnt out and depressed. The life he thought he had left behind has moved on – but has he?
Going Back, Eugene O'Brien's heartwarming debut novel, continues the story of hit TV series Pure Mule, capturing the whole world in one Irish town: the highs and the lows, from addiction and mental-health issues to love and redemption.
It will take some time and a lot of soul-searching, but maybe Scobie Donoghue is finally ready to grow up.
'I was delighted to get reacquainted with Scobie Donoghue. This is a timely book, engaging and entertaining. It lifts the lid on and exposes the underbelly of the disenfranchised in a community that has been pulled apart since the heady days of the Celtic Tiger.' Liz Nugent

    The borderlands of the paranormal include some bizarre stories. However, none are more strange or unsettling than the tale of what became known as the Philadelphia Experiment, an alleged effort during World War II to make a US Navy ship invisible by using electrical power. 
    The purported experiment gained international fame with the publication of a book by Charles Berlitz in 1978 and has now entered the lexicon of popular imagination. More than one movie has featured this experiment, but even as more people have heard about the Philadelphia Experiment, there are a number of different accounts of just what is said to have happened. The most dramatic accounts involve the brief teleportation of a US Navy warship and its crew into another dimension, with subsequent and horrifying effects for the men on board when it returned. Other versions are a little more mundane, but all seem to agree that something very odd happened to a US Navy ship in 1943. 
    This is a complex story, first emerging in the late 1950s before coming to international attention in the 1970s and developing in the 1980s and after. It involves some of the foremost scientists of the 20th century, and while it is a truly fascinating tale, it is one that has caused (and continues to generate) a great deal of debate. Is the Philadelphia Experiment a hoax, a myth, or somehow partly true, and how did this story first emerge? Readers may be more than a little surprised at the outcome.

    South America’s Economy delves into the dramatic rises, falls, and reinventions of four major economies: Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, and Venezuela. This 4-in-1 collection offers a sweeping view of a continent shaped by political upheaval, resource wealth, policy experiments, and the constant push-pull between growth and crisis. From hyperinflation to privatization, oil booms to currency collapses, this volume captures the complexity and volatility of the region’s economic story. 
    Argentina’s economic crises highlight the consequences of policy missteps and external shocks, revealing how a once-thriving nation became a case study in recurring collapse. Brazil’s economic evolution shows a journey through industrialization, reform, and global integration, alongside persistent inequality and corruption. Colombia’s transformation tells a story of resilience—rising from the shadows of conflict to emerge as a growing economy with expanding global ties. Finally, Venezuela presents perhaps the most extreme example of economic meltdown in recent memory, offering crucial lessons about dependency, mismanagement, and populism. 
    Whether you’re a student, global observer, or simply curious about South America’s economic puzzle, this book provides both historical depth and modern relevance to help you understand the region's shifting fortunes.
