Redress: Ireland's Institutions and Transitional Justice

Katherine O'Donnell

Beschreibung

How will Ireland redress its legacy of institutional abuse? What constitutes justice? What is Transitional Justice? How might democracy evolve if survivors' experiences and expertise were allowed to lead the response to a century of gender- and family separation-based abuses? REDRESS: Ireland's Institutions and Transitional Justice seeks the answers. This collection explores the ways in which Ireland – North and South – treats those who suffered in Magdalene Laundries, Mother and Baby Homes, County Homes, industrial and reformatory schools, and in a closed and secretive adoption system, over the last 100 years. The essays focus on the structures which perpetuated widespread and systematic abuses in the past and consider how political arrangements continue to exert power over survivors, adopted people and generations of relatives, as well as controlling the remains and memorialisation of the dead. As we mark the centenary of both jurisdictions on the island of Ireland, REDRESS: Ireland's Institutions and Transitional Justice forensically examines the two states' so-called 'redress' schemes and investigations, and the statements of apology that accompanied them. With diverse and interdisciplinary perspectives, this collection considers how a Transitional Justice-based, survivor-centred, approach might assist those personally affected, policy makers, the public, and academics to evaluate the complex ways in which both the Republic and Northern Ireland (and other states in a comparative context) have responded to their histories of institutionalisation and family separation. Importantly, the essays collected in REDRESS: Ireland's Institutions and Transitional Justice seek to offer avenues by which to redress this legacy of continuing harms.

The Editors are donating all royalties in the name of survivors and all those affected by Ireland's carceral institutions and family separation to the charity Empowering People in Care (EPIC).

Empire of Everything

Santiago Machain

What if Alexander the Great didn't die at thirty-two? Empire of Everything continues the alternate history saga where the most legendary conqueror of all time survives his fever in Babylon—and reinvents the world. As his armies press deeper into Asia, a new challenge emerges: not how to conquer the world, but how to hold it together. From philosophical revolutions and diplomatic crises to religious upheaval and personal sacrifice, Alexander's empire stretches not just across continents, but across ideas, identities, and generations. 
In this sweeping second volume, Alexander must shift from warrior to ruler, from symbol to system. The boy who wanted to be Achilles becomes the man who must govern millions. But with peace comes politics, and with legacy comes doubt. Can an empire built on ambition survive without conquest? Or will the shadow of the crown consume everything he has built?

Calling Sergeant Crockford

Ruth D'Alessandro

It's the dawn of the Swinging Sixties. The Cold War is at its height and support for the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament is building. The Berkshire Constabulary's Detective Gwen Crockford is promoted to Woman Police Sergeant in Newbury – the town at the heart of Britain's atomic weapons programme. 
 
Gwen's initial reservations that her posting in rural Berkshire will be boring soon prove to be unfounded. A serial sex attacker on the loose, an attempted murder at Greenham Common US Airforce Base, and a charismatic heiress with a family secret keep things interesting for the capable sergeant. 
 
Laser-focused on her police career – and resigned to the single life – Gwen is forced to re-evaluate her plans when a nature-loving war veteran PC walks into the station with an orphaned fox cub, and there's a shocking discovery in a railway station lavatory. 
 
Written by her daughter Ruth and rich in social history, this is the story of a real-life woman police sergeant at the top of her game, guiding her WPCs through the immense societal changes of the early 1960s.

Urban Transportation - Mobility...

Lyric Vale

Transportation is the lifeblood of urban ecosystems, a complex network of movement that defines how cities breathe, function, and evolve. More than mere infrastructure of roads, rails, and vehicles, urban transportation represents a sophisticated dance of human mobility, technological innovation, economic strategy, and social connectivity. This comprehensive exploration delves into the intricate world of Urban Transportation, examining the economic dynamics, technological transformations, and emerging paradigms that are reshaping how people and goods move through increasingly complex metropolitan landscapes. 
The narrative of urban mobility is a profound reflection of human ingenuity and adaptation, where technological advances, environmental challenges, and changing social needs converge to reimagine transportation systems. By tracing the historical development, current challenges, and future possibilities of urban transportation, this book unveils the multifaceted strategies that cities are developing to create more efficient, sustainable, and inclusive mobility networks. Readers will journey through the intersections of technological innovation, economic planning, environmental sustainability, and social equity—discovering how emerging transportation solutions are not just about moving from point A to point B, but about fundamentally redesigning the way cities function, connect, and support human potential in an increasingly complex and dynamic urban world.

A Rare Recording of Julius...

Julius Howell

Julius Franklin Howell was born in Suffolk, Virginia, in 1846. He enlisted in the Confederate States Army in 1862 and served in the 24th Virginia Cavalry until 1864 when his regiment was moved to the north of Richmond as Robert E. Lee and Ulysses S. Grant fought near Petersburg. Howell took part in the cavalry charge against Union artillery and infantry at a clearing near the Darbytown Road, during which he was shot in the leg. After his recovery, Howell returned to fight and was captured at the Battle of Sailor's Creek in Amelia County, Virginia, on April 6, 1865, and held in a Union prison at Point Lookout, MD. when he heard about the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln. After the war, he became an educator, preserving the memories of the Confederate soldier and serving as Commander-in-Chief of the United Confederate Veterans for decades. In 1947, he gave the following recording about his wartime experiences. He died a year later at the age of 102.
