Sinossi

Ancient Stone Circles explores the purpose and significance of these ancient monuments in societies worldwide. It argues that stone circles were not merely primitive relics but sophisticated centers for astronomical observation, social gatherings, and ceremonial practices. Intriguingly, archaeological findings suggest deliberate designs incorporating celestial alignments, reflecting advanced knowledge of astronomy and social organization. The book delves into the cultural context of stone circles, examining the belief systems, social structures, and technological capabilities of the indigenous societies that built them. It challenges previous interpretations by integrating quantitative astronomical data with qualitative cultural interpretations, offering a nuanced understanding of these enigmatic structures. Case studies from the British Isles, Africa, and the Americas showcase the astronomical alignments, architectural features, and associated artifacts, revealing potential uses in maintaining social cohesion and transmitting knowledge. Structured methodically, Ancient Stone Circles introduces archaeoastronomy and social archaeology before exploring specific examples and their social contexts. The book uses historical records, archaeological findings, and astronomical research to build its argument, providing a comprehensive overview of major sites and theoretical frameworks, ultimately revealing the ingenuity and cultural complexity encoded within these ancient monuments.

    Nick Emler, Emeritus Professor of Psychology, University of Surrey 
    Social organization creates power. The personalities of those who manage this power are fundamental to understanding what goes on in organizations. Robert Hogan brings his unparalleled mastery of personality psychology together with a deep understanding of the ways that evolution has shaped us to explain why and how. Anyone who inhabits an organization—and, one way or another, that is all of us—and wishes to make sense of this experience should read this book. 
    David Funder, Distinguished Professor of Psychology, University of California, Riverside 
    This book is a witty, wise, succinct, and persuasive account of the importance of personality, leadership, and the central role of organizations in human life. It is full of useful information and advice for managers and for anyone who has ever been managed, which is pretty much everybody. The ratio of wisdom gained to time spent on this little book makes it a great investment. 
    Adrian Furnham, Author and Professor of Psychology, BI Norwegian Business School 
    I have read many and written a few, but none even slightly compares with this one. There are five reasons for this. First, the author is both a (distinguished) academic and a practitioner. Second, he is a very well-read, serious polymath who moves effortlessly between classics, economics, philosophy, and psychology. Third, he courageously takes issue, where he sees fit, with vacuous trends, business gobbledygook, and evidence-free assertions. Fourth, he has the rare and most desirable habit of cutting through the Gordian knot of theories. Fifth, he writes (very) well: the book is a page-turner and also a serious reference work. I would love to have had these skills myself.

    This book focuses on the history of the Baltic States, specifically on the History of Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia from the Bronze Age all the way up until the end of 21st Century.  
    Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania have been the battleground for neighboring powers and the site of intense rivalry, but also interaction, between East and West. 
    This book masterfully traces the development of these three Baltic countries, from the northern crusades against Europe's last pagans, and Lithuania's rise to become one of medieval Europe's largest states, to their incorporation into the Russian Empire and the creation of their modern national identities.  
    This book pays particular attention to the tumultuous twentieth century, during which the Baltic States achieved independence, but also endured occupation by both the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany. Finally, it explores how the Baltic States recovered their statehood and transformed themselves into members of the European Union.

    A convent children's home run by monsters. A heartbreaking family secret that haunted us for 50 years.Suzanne suffered five heart attacks and made it through open heart surgery. But even that pales in comparison to the horrors she faced as a young girl.Her childhood became the ‘stuff of nightmares’ after her father passed away and her mother, unable to get a job in Ireland, had to seek work in London. So ‘Mammy’ was forced into the heartbreaking decision to put Suzanne and her five siblings into church-run orphanages in Dublin while she worked away. It was just meant to be temporary.Her life soon became a daily struggle to avoid beatings with canes and rosary beads. Suzanne and the other children worked from dawn until midnight, living on disgusting scraps of food, while the nuns dined on fresh fruit, meat and cakes that the ‘orphans’ had cooked for them. Suzanne tried her best to shield her younger sisters from the terror of these hateful ‘women of God’. But it was only the beginning of their troubles…Eventually, their mother returned from London, after four years, with enough money to take her children out and the family was reunited. However, too scared to speak out, the children vowed to take the horrors they had experienced at the orphanages to their graves.What really happened behind those church doors? This is Suzanne's heartbreaking and touching story.

    One hundred years after the Anglo-Irish Treaty and partition, after thirty years of Troubles, the Good Friday Agreement and Brexit, the debate on Irish unity has intensified. But what could a united country look like and what would it mean for people north and south of the border?
    Considering health, education, the economy, cultural identity and the arts, constitutional change and international relations, award-winning journalist Frank Connolly asks whether a united Ireland could create a viable, vibrant new country.
    With contributions from President Michael D. Higgins, Paula Meehan, David McWilliams, Linda Ervine, Christy Moore, Mary Lou McDonald, Ian Marshall and Brian Keenan, United Nation is a timely look at the case for integrating Ireland.
