  What do aliens, dying planets, ancient pyramids, quantum weirdness, gender politics and sandal design have in common? 
   They all find a place in this wildly entertaining exploration of the questions most of us think about but rarely say out loud. 
  From the baffling to the brilliant, the hilarious to the haunting, Random Curiosities takes you on a freewheeling ride through the strange chaos of human thought. 
  Broken down into essay style chapters on random ideas (that the author somehow manages to link!) relating to humanity and the world around us, 
  this isn’t a book with neat answers. It’s a celebration of the questions themselves. 
  Get ready to laugh, wince, wonder, and maybe—just maybe—make a little more sense of this absurd thing called life. 
  “Like a fireplace discussion with friends after our second bottle of wine” — Amazon reviewer

A QUEST FOR SALVATION.For over fifty years Egypt has known nothing but war and devastation at the hands of the Hyksos, a bloodthirsty barbarian people from the distant east who continue to advance, crushing armies in their wake. Times are desperate, but throughout the conflict, a brave resistance fights on under the great Taita, a slave who has risen far beyond his ranks. Piay, entrusted into Taita's care by his parents at the age of just five, has been trained to become a great spy, unmatched by any other. Determined to prove his worth, he embarks on a dangerous mission to the north - to Mycenae and through the heart of Hyksos land and across the great sea - to find allies to help defend Egypt. As the situation becomes increasingly precarious, and the fate of the kingdom is hanging in the balance, can Piay succeed in his quest or will this mean the end of the glory that is Egypt once and for all?

  Eason Favourite Book of the Year 2022 
   
  'she is no small town, and this is no small story . . .'
  BASED ON THE POPULAR DUBLIN HISTORY PODCAST
  
  
  A companion to the hugely successful podcast of the same name by Donal Fallon, THREE CASTLES BURNING is an enjoyable wander through some of Dublin's less obvious but more interesting streets and roads such as Henrietta Street, Watling Street, Fownes Street and Kildare Road.
  On the Dublin streets we walk every day, there are hidden reminders of the lesser-known heroes and events that have contributed to the evolving story of our capital. The city's motto, 'the obedience of the citizens produces a happy city', may feel outdated and loaded today but the three burning castles of its ancient coat of arms have come to represent the indomitable spirit, creativity and vision that define this big town. Inspired by the No. 1 podcast, Three Castles Burning: A History of Dublin in Twelve Streets champions the activists, workers, architects, poets, migrants, artists and merchants who have made and remade the city we know and love by going beneath the many layers of twelve key streets where they lived and worked. Because, in the city Joyce called the 'Hibernian Metropolis', the disobedience of its citizens is the cornerstone of its past, present and future.
  This combination of social, cultural, industrial and commercial, and political history, through the prism of the places where revolutions great and small were sparked, offers the reader a fresh and unexpected take on Ireland's capital city.
