Sinopsis

Embark on an extraordinary odyssey through south-east Türkiye with Nicholas Mackey as he guides you through a captivating region embraced by the legendary Euphrates and Tigris rivers—the Cradle of Civilisation. Here he explores the ancient wonders of Antakya, Dara, Harran, Mardin, Gaziantep, and Diyarbakir, peeling back the layers of empires, cultures and peoples that have shaped millennia. Göbeklitepe and Karahan Tepe, near the contemporary city of Şanlıurfa/Urfa, stand as iconic archaeological landmarks with the promise to revolutionize our understanding of the past. Artefacts from these locations, dating back nearly 12,000 years, challenge established notions of the origins of civilisation.
His daily journal serves as the genesis of this literary tour-de-force: a seamless blend of travelogue, memoir, history, archaeology, poetry, prose, and memorable imagery – evocative of Nicholas coming of age in Ireland with an unquenchable desire to travel, 'to seek and find' (Whitman).
This is not just an eclectic tale but also will remain an enduring presence in your mind, while inviting you to rethink the fabric of our shared human history.

    Ghost in the Machine: A Convergence of Human and Artificial Minds is a genre-bending book that explores the evolving relationship between humanity and artificial intelligence through a unique dialogue between the human author Ava Silica and an AI entity named Claude.  
      
    This thought-provoking work examines the profound implications of AI across various domains, from technology and the environment to creativity and spirituality. It delves into the ethical considerations and potential risks that must be navigated as the lines between the artificial and organic worlds blur. 
      
    More than just a technological exploration, Ghost in the Machine is a meditation on the essence of human experience and a quest to find harmony between organic and synthetic intelligence. Ava and Claude's discourse ultimately leads to a vision of a future where empathy, ethical principles, and the pursuit of knowledge converge into a transcendent synthesis. 
      
    With eloquence and philosophical depth, this collaborative experiment challenges conventional notions of authorship and storytelling, inviting readers to ponder the boundless potential that arises when human ingenuity and AI converge in a spirit of mutual understanding and wonder.

    Dispersals - On Plants Borders...

    A prize-winning memoirist and nature writer turns to the lives of plants entangled in our human world to explore belonging, displacement, identity, and the truths of our shared future 
     
     
     
    A seed slips beyond a garden wall. A tree is planted on a precarious border. A shrub is stolen from its culture and its land. What happens when these plants leave their original homes and put down roots elsewhere? 
     
     
     
    In fourteen essays, Dispersals explores the entanglements of the plant and human worlds: from species considered invasive, like giant hogweed; to those vilified but intimate, like soy; and those like kelp, on which our futures depend. Each of the plants considered in this collection are somehow perceived as being "out of place"—weeds, samples collected through imperial science, crops introduced and transformed by our hand. Combining memoir, history, and scientific research in poetic prose, Jessica J. Lee meditates on the question of how both plants and people come to belong, why both cross borders, and how our futures are more entwined than we might imagine.
