Beschreibung

"Irish Famine Scale" offers a deep dive into the Great Irish Famine, examining it not merely as a natural disaster but as a socio-political catastrophe. The book analyzes how existing social structures and the British government's policies amplified the devastation caused by the potato blight between 1845 and 1852. Intriguingly, the study reveals how seemingly well-intentioned relief efforts sometimes worsened the situation, while mass migration reshaped not only Ireland but also the demographics of countries like the United States and Australia. This historical analysis progresses through three distinct parts. Initially, it sets the stage by describing pre-famine Ireland, its reliance on the potato, and existing socio-economic vulnerabilities.The second part meticulously dissects British governmental strategies such as public work programs and the Poor Laws, evaluating their actual impact using parliamentary records and contemporary accounts.Finally, the book turns to the mass migrations spurred by the famine, tracing the journeys of Irish emigrants and assessing the diasporic consequences. Employing a balanced, data-driven approach, "Irish Famine Scale" avoids sensationalism, instead combining qualitative narratives with quantitative data derived from census records and shipping manifests. This comprehensive approach provides students and general readers an opportunity to understand the complex interplay of factors that transformed a crop failure into one of history's most heartbreaking events.

    Beyond The Game: A Rowing Romance (Varsity Hearts Athletics, Short Story) 
    Two rowing rivals, a sweaty London locker room, and a tension so thick it could sink a scull. 
    Freddy, a disciplined, senior-squad rower and corporate architect, lives by the clock: 5 AM training, tight work deadlines, and zero emotional distractions. When his intense focus is broken by a gorgeous blonde guy in an upscale Richmond café, Freddy’s perfect schedule is thrown overboard. 
    Andy, a semi-pro photographer with a knack for trouble, is new to the development rowing squad. He should be focused on proving his athletic worth, but all his attention—and his most explicit fantasies—are suddenly focused on the beautiful, snobbish rower he keeps accidentally flashing. 
    Their lives clash when Andy’s leg brushes Freddy’s under a table at a swanky Fulham bar, turning a casual drink into a high-stakes game of seduction. From judging PEI oysters and Tattinger champagne to revealing explicit photography on a phone screen, the lines between rivalry and reckless lust blur completely. 
    They’re teammates. They’re competitors. And in the damp, secretive corners of the boat club, they might just become each other's dirtiest secret. 
    If you love sizzling tension, high-stakes sport, and unexpected encounters, grab this fast-paced, high-heat short story. It's the perfect taste of what happens when two athletes let their desire run wild.

    Neville Goddard (1905 - 1972) was a teacher, author and lecturer. He was born in St. Michael, Barbados, and came to the US in 1922 to study drama and dance. While touring with his dance company in England he developed an interest in metaphysics. After his return to New York he gave up the entertainment industry to devote his full attention to the study of spiritual and mystical matters. While living in Los Angeles in the 1950s, he gave a series of talks on television and radio. In his lectures and books Neville dealt with what he called "The Law" and "The Promise." These relate to the method of creating one's physical reality through imagining, and is similar to the teachings of the New Thought movement. This public lecture is about beliefs, knowing, and other mystical topics.

    Tarot has always been a powerful guide for introspection and inner work, so what better tool to use when we're ready to do the really hard work? Author Maria Minnis takes a radical new look at the Major Arcana in this tarot workbook, which provides listeners a unique, personal understanding of systemic racism—and what steps we can take to begin to dismantle it. This book says tarot can be a tool for action, one that may offer great satisfaction as well as great difficulty, all while pushing you out of your comfort zone. 
     
     
      
    You'll explore the Major Arcana to uncover how each archetype can help cultivate a freer, anti-racist world. It will consider the upright, or benevolent, aspects of each card and how listeners can use those themes to dismantle internalized racism, racism in our relationships, and racism in our communities. As you move from the Fool to the World card, you'll discover that everything we do ripples beyond us, and that there are practical ways to change our actions and perspectives. 
     
     
      
    This is a book that speaks to both white and BIPOC audiences. The author addresses the human community as a whole and how racism affects our relationships to each other, to our communities, and to our institutions. This book addresses how the energy can be turned around into self-awareness, self-love, and positive action.
