Sinossi

What is it like to run for election? How do public representatives deal with the cut-throat competition from their rivals – and their own running mates? What's the Dáil bar really like? And how, given the demands of the 24-hour news cycle, does any meaningful work get done?
Political correspondent Gavan Reilly turns his keen analytical eye to the machinations of Leinster House. With unprecedented access to political insiders, Gavan offers us a seat at the cabinet table exposing how Irish politics really works.
'If you want to understand, really understand, how Irish politics works behind the scenes, you should read this book' SHANE COLEMAN
'This book has it all … the ultimate behind-the-curtain guide to the world of Irish politics' JENNIFER BRAY
'Invaluable insights into the drama, demands and drudgery of politics … essential reading for anyone with ambitions' SEAN O'ROURKE

    By " assembling" some of the most fascinating figures in world history, Meeting of Minds provided a groundbreaking opportunity for audiences to be exposed to ideas by way of a medium not normally known for its intellectual vigor. Portrayed by actors, panelists engage in stimulating round-table discussions that were conducted like any other talk show but featured prominent influencers from bygone generations— not just philosophers and politicians, but poets, playwrights, and presidents. From activists and artists to international leaders— both famous and infamous— these conversations are unfailingly witty, thought-provoking, and genuinely entertaining.
    An innovative series, Meeting of Minds remains one of the most delightful ways of gaining historical perspective ever devised, and these original soundtrack recordings capture the intellectual and spirited debates of the episodes hosted by Steve Allen. The panelists featured in this volume are Greek philosopher Aristotle, Italian diplomat and author Niccolo Machiavelli, English poet Elizabeth Barrett Browning, and Chinese statesman Sun Yat-Sen.

    "religion's been cruel to people like usthe darkwood sluts      the good time girlsbut god as my witnesssome of us           we're just trying to wrangle our powerback from the species that took it"
    Jemima Foxtrot's Treasure is a shining work of alchemy and liberation which explores power dynamics, sex work, desire, and female friendship with a fresh and playful perspective. Foxtrot investigates shimmering sexualities, the economies of desire, the theft of childhood and pathways towards reclaiming it. Her language is lush: intimate, intricate, full of fertile earth's possibility. The poems of Treasure live up to its name: showing us where the gold is—the joy—how to feed it into the soil of our lives.
    "Treasure is an aptly chosen title for this collection, both as a noun (that quantity of precious ore dug from the stuff of experience) and as a verb (the imperative to seek out, sing, and cherish joy through the sharing of it). Foxtrot is a savvy, sometimes savage, sensualist; her poetic speakers alert to injustice, but alive to pleasure in every way that counts. These are superbly tactile poems, poems of being-in-the-body, and being-in-the-world; they are full of wit, vigour and feminist jouissance. These are also formally exciting poems, poems that showcase a beautifully bold and oddly tender lyric defiance." Fran Lock, Hyena, T.S. Eliot Prize Shortlist

    As society shifts its perspective on allyship—moving from being "not racist" to "anti-racist"—White allies are being called upon to work toward changing the status quo. However, the vast majority of resources on this topic emphasize educating allies about anti-racism without teaching them how to do anti-racism work. This leaves well-meaning allies feeling stuck, frustrated, and afraid of getting it wrong. Beyond Fragility fills this gap by providing a step-by-step approach to effective anti-racism allyship. This book provides you with the skills to: 
     
     
     
    ● Understand and avoid common mishaps in anti-racist work, such as misunderstanding racism, not knowing how to recognize racism, or not having a clear anti-racist identity 
     
     
     
    ● Cope with emotions like guilt, fear, hopelessness, and anger that may arise when discussing racism and privilege 
     
     
     
    ● Navigate interpersonal interactions, whether it's validating experiences of BIPOC peers, recovering from a racist misstep, or speaking out against racist comments 
     
     
     
    Anti-racist allyship is not an innate essence. But with this book, you can learn skills that allow you to engage in impactful and sustainable allyship in every space you occupy.

    Dr. Ogden is married to Detective William Murdoch. They are very happy together with a sex life that is extremely hot.  
    There is no logical reason for the straight doctor to take up with lesbian Dr. Grace in a girl on girl sexual affair, but she does, only to be caught in the licking act by a husband who takes full advantage of a golden opportunity.
