More Than a Game - The GAA and where it's Going

Michael Moynihan

Sinopse

The GAA has always been about more than sport. It's the pulse of Irish communities – a shared language of identity, belonging and pride. But today, as the Association finds itself at a crossroads, urgent questions arise.
Is the GAA still a grassroots, amateur movement? Or has it become a machine for elite competition, real estate development and media influence?
Acclaimed journalist Michael Moynihan exposes the real forces reshaping the GAA, from under-the-table payments and controversial stadium deals to fixture chaos and the impact of pop concerts. Thoughtful and unflinching, he reveals an organisation grappling with its identity and why the outcome matters to every parish, player and supporter in Ireland.
'Michael is rooted in the GAA but never bound by it. He sees our games and Association through a unique and unflinching lens. For anyone who loves the GAA and Irish sport, this book is essential reading.' Donal Óg Cusack
'No one writes about the GAA like Michael Moynihan.' Pat Spillane

Frozen Earth - Surviving a...

Martin K. Ettington

I recently saw several predictions by well-known seers of the future that there will be a huge natural disaster in June/July of 2025. 
Whether a disaster from a comet crashing into the Earth, a huge volcanic eruption or earthquake or a nuclear war; the likelihood of humanity suffering a period of global cooling is that it will happen—and has already happened in the past. 
Disasters could actually cause global cooling for months or years. In trying to lookup any books on how to individuals and society should handle global cooling I couldn’t find anything. So I decided to write a manual dealing with this issue. 
This manual has five parts: 
Part One-Understanding the Threat 
Part Two-Preparation and Prevention 
Part Three-Surviving the Freeze 
Part Four-Rebuilding in the ICE 
Part Five-Looking Forward 
Historical examples of how mankind dealt with global cooling in the past are included as well as lots of advice on how to recognize this process happening to our world, and how to deal with the consequences. 
Survival for both individuals and society, and how to plan for the future. 
I hope this situation never happens in our lifetimes but this book might be an aid to survival in those circumstances.
