Sinopse

In "Under the Turk in Constantinople: A Record of Sir John Finch's Embassy, 1674-1681", G. F. Abbott meticulously chronicles the experiences of Sir John Finch during a pivotal period of diplomatic engagement between England and the Ottoman Empire. The work is presented with a rich narrative style that intertwines personal anecdotes and political insights, thus offering a nuanced portrayal of the complexities of 17th-century diplomacy. Abbott situates Finch's efforts in a broader literary context, connecting them to historical discourses of travel, negotiation, and cultural exchange, making this account both a personal memoir and a significant historical document. G. F. Abbott, a distinguished scholar and historian, was drawn to this subject through his broader interest in the intersection of culture and politics in the early modern world. His research often centers on the Ottoman Empire's influence on European affairs, demonstrating a keen understanding of the intricate relationships that shaped political landscapes. Abbott's scholarly rigor is evident in his thorough examination of primary sources, illuminating Finch's challenges and triumphs during his ambassadorial tenure. This insightful book is highly recommended for readers interested in early modern history, diplomacy, or Ottoman studies.

    The Republic of Ireland has changed much in the last few decades. It has become much more socially liberal, urban, secular and wealthy. It has also experienced large-scale immigration during a period when other Anglophone and many other European countries mainstream political parties have witnessed the exploitation of anti-immigrant nativism by some political mainstream parties as well as by the far right. Diverse Republic examines, as part of a wider focus on how immigration has changed Irish society, the emergence of antiimmigrant far-right groups through a focus on some key figures within these. It also considers the response of mainstream politics to immigration and examines efforts to encourage the integration of newcomers.The first part of the book examines how Irish society and identity has changed since the foundation of the state. This is relevant to the second part, which examines how and to what extent far right anti-immigration politics are likely to flourish or not in the Irish case. The second part of the book examines the appeal of far-right political responses to immigration in a context where some Irish citizens no longer appear to be represented by the political mainstream and where nativist populists lay claim to the symbols and heroes of the Republic.Diverse Republic makes the case for proactive measures to promote immigrant integration and social cohesion through citizenship, social policy and community development. It engages with shifting nationalist understandings of Irishness and makes the case for taking these seriously even if anti-immigrant nativist nationalism has found only fringe support in Irish politics to date. The symbols and history of what has become a diverse Republic should not become the property of those who would exclude some of its citizens.

    For the past thirty years, the United States government has secretly trained a select corps of military personnel in the art of "remote viewing"—the psychic ability to perceive the thoughts and experiences of others through the power of the human mind . . . 
     
     
     
    Now, for the first time, Lyn Buchanan—a world-renowned expert on remote viewing and its potential—tells the complete, candid story of his experiences. Assigned for nearly a decade to a clandestine US Army intelligence group, Buchanan trained military personnel who utilized their inherent psychic abilities as a data-collection tool during the Iran hostage crisis, the Chernobyl disaster, and the Gulf War. 
     
     
     
    In this incredible account, Buchanan tells how he was selected for his unique psychic abilities, and how he was transformed from an ordinary soldier into one of our nation's leading psychic spies. Working on top-secret government and military projects using "mental espionage" created permanent, life-altering changes within Buchanan. Now, after many years of analysis and interpretation, he reveals the techniques and mental exercises used to train remote viewers, and demonstrates that each of us carries a dormant psychic ability that we can explore and use ourselves.

    The poems in Human Nature offer a stunning and tender ecology. It’s impossible to turn away from the awe and beauty, even as the poems also engage in playfulness and grief and resistance. In these deeply spiritual poems, the body is intricately bound to the natural world. As readers of this work, we can feel both the immense power and smallness of our human hands trembling in each shimmering line. 
    —Stacey Waite, author of Butch Geography 
    Embodying a rainbow of emotions, the poetry of Paschold grounds the reader to the world around them and those that inhabit it, big and small. 
    —Joel Sartore Photography - Office Staff 
    Julie Paschold takes a bold swing right in the title of her collection Human Nature, the delineation of which has been the prime ambition of literary folks since the first someone put pen to paper. Even, or especially, when “[w]e thin-skinned hairless beings” look outside ourselves at spiders and crocodile icefish, we also hold up a mirror in order to study our own reflection. Who can’t at times identify with “a prairie vole, / popcorn of the prairie, / . . . everything is out to eat me”? And it’s not just our fellow critters we see ourselves in: Even “[t]he sky has a sliver caught in her thumb.” It's this commonality which drives the poems and helps us understand where and how we fit in. 
    —JV Brummels, author of All the Live-Long Day
