Summary

Barley Threshing Days explores the world of traditional barley harvesting and its deep roots in rural society. More than a simple agricultural task, barley harvesting shaped economic structures, social hierarchies, and cultural traditions within village life. The book reveals that traditional methods were not just about crop yields, but also about fostering communal identity, where harvest festivals and rituals reinforced social bonds.

 
The book traces the evolution of harvesting methods, from hand-pulling to the adoption of threshing machines, examining the impact on labor practices and social relationships. For example, the introduction of new agricultural technology significantly altered traditional labor practices, changing how rural communities functioned.

 
Beginning with an introduction to barley cultivation, the book progresses to explore social structures, labor practices, cultural traditions, and the impact of mechanization, offering a comprehensive view of this vital aspect of agricultural history. Drawing on historical manuals, oral histories, and archival photographs, Barley Threshing Days adopts a narrative non-fiction approach, blending rigorous research with engaging storytelling.

 
It is intended for those interested in understanding the complex relationship between human labor, agricultural technology, and the evolving social fabric of rural communities, making it valuable for anyone seeking to understand the cultural traditions of rural communities.

Speaking by the Numbers -...

Sean Palmer

It's not just what you say, but how you say it.
Good communicators know this, but it's often easier said than done. Teachers, leaders, and speakers are often left bewildered, wondering why the content that was so carefully planned and delivered seems to fall flat with the audience. The art of communication requires more than the transfer of information; it both connects with and engages the hearer. To communicate well, speakers must understand both their audience and themselves.
Speaking by the Numbers offers a strategy that combines communication principles with Enneagram wisdom to help leaders, pastors, and teachers understand how to convey content in ways that both inspire and connect with their audiences. Using the Enneagram wisdom of triads and stances, communicators can learn insight into the ways that various Enneagram numbers receive and process information. Sean Palmer draws from his extensive experience as a public speaker to develop communication strategies that lead to connection, transformation, and mobilization of audiences. Providing real examples of speeches and messages he has given, Palmer shows how he uses the Enneagram to craft a message that connects with his audience.
A healthy marriage of Enneagram wisdom and communication skill can help us speak with clarity into the heart of where people live, love, and experience life.

Anarchy and Authority - Irish...

Angela Byrne

From the ascent of Peter the Great to the Russian Revolution. From the Battle of the Boyne to the Easter Rising. Between these epochal events were two astounding centuries of war, diplomacy, intrigue, innovation and international radical political movements, the reverberations of which are still felt in both Ireland and the former territories of the Russian empire today.
In Anarchy and Authority, readers follow contemporaneous accounts of Irish men and women who ventured into the Russian empire during the long centuries of Romanov rule. Human connections, political intrigues, cultural cross-pollination mesh with sweeping historical narratives in the story of the island and the empire.
Meticulously researched and energetically told, these are the stories of Irish residents, travellers and migrants to Russia from that time, ranging from diplomats and governesses, to early tourists, travel writers, soldiers, servants and even a revolutionary music-teacher. From the Irishmen and women who benefitted from the imperial wars waged by the Russian state, to those Irish observers who bore witness to the horrors of serfdom and the oppression of dissenting voices.
Anarchy and Authority brings to vivid life these Irish perspectives. Their fascinating insights and unique depths of field give increasing relevance to the turbulent geo-politics of modern times.
