  Dublin's teeming slums, long regarded as the worst in Europe, were teetering on the brink of structural and sanitary public catastrophe during the early twentieth century. To tackle the crisis, Herbert Simms was appointed the city's first housing architect. During a sixteen-year period, from 1932 until 1948, Simms and his team planned, commissioned and built an astounding 17,000 homes –some as inner-city flat complexes, others as family houses in newly-created suburbs such as Crumlin and Cabra.
  Like the city's acclaimed Georgian squares, the Simms-designed Corporation flats in particular have stood the test of time, injecting a touch of art deco and modernist glamour to neglected neighbourhoods. This comprehensive guide to the Simms buildings also highlights the many struggles with politicians and bureaucrats Simms and his staff experienced as they did their best to build well-designed, affordable housing for the people of Dublin.

  Amy’s life has been a rollercoaster of highs and lows. She married actor Will Arnett, had two sons, and navigated the pressures of balancing a family and a demanding career. She writes candidly about her time on Saturday Night Live (SNL), her divorce from Will Arnett, and her lessons about life, work, and love. One chapter features Seth Meyers’ account of what happened the weekend her first son, Archie, was born. Another chapter includes a funny letter Amy wrote to herself about the unrealistic expectations she had going into motherhood. 
  Despite her success, Amy has always been a realist. She reflects on mistakes, including a controversial joke she made on SNL about a disabled person. When she realized her error, she made sure to track down the individual and apologize. In doing so, she learned a valuable lesson about compassion, forgiveness, and owning up to your mistakes. 
  Amy’s journey took her from working the comedy circuit in Chicago, New York, and Los Angeles to finding her breakout role as Leslie Knope on Parks and Recreation. Along the way, she met and collaborated with comedy legends like Tina Fey and Seth Meyers, both of whom played key roles in shaping her career.

  Sound shapes our world in invisible but profound ways, and here Caspar Henderson brings his characteristic curiosity, knowledge and sense of wonder to the subject to take us on an exhilarating journey through the heard universe. 
  A Book of Noises gathers together sounds from the cosmos, the natural world, the human world, and the invented world, and contains quiet pockets of silence. From the vast sound of sand in the desert to the tuneful warble of a songbird, to the meditative resonance of a temple bell and the improvisational melodies of jazz, this is a celebration of all things auricular. 
  The preface is read by Cerys Matthews, and the rest of the book by the author
