  A searing essay collection that explores displacement and loss, creativity and change, institutional power and progress. 
   
   
   
  Born in Korea, raised in the American South, and trying her best to survive British academia, SJ Kim probes her experiences as a writer, a scholar, and a daughter to confront the silences she finds in the world. With curiosity and sensitivity, she writes letters to the institutions that simultaneously support and fail her, intimate accounts of immigration, and interrogations of rising anti-Black and anti-Asian racism. She considers the silences between generations—especially within the Asian diaspora in the West—as she finds her way back to her own family during the pandemic lockdown. 
   
   
   
  Embracing the possibilities and impossibilities of language, Kim rejoices in the similes of Korean, her mother tongue, and draws inspiration from K-dramas and writers across cultures who sustain her. As borders close in and nations enter lockdown, the journey that Kim traces is fraught—and at once illuminates that the act of remaining present has its own power, allowing boundless hope.

  International relations is a complex and ever-evolving field that shapes the global political landscape. The relationships between countries, organizations, and individuals influence everything from trade and diplomacy to security and human rights. Understanding the history, theories, and modern-day dynamics of international relations is essential for anyone seeking to grasp the intricacies of global affairs. The study of international relations has evolved from a niche academic discipline into a vital framework for analyzing global conflicts, cooperation, and power struggles. 
    
  The modern world has been profoundly shaped by the forces of globalization, which have made international relations more interconnected than ever before. Advances in communication, transportation, and technology have blurred the lines between domestic and international issues. Countries can no longer afford to operate in isolation; they must cooperate on matters of shared concern, such as climate change, terrorism, economic crises, and public health. However, the globalized world also comes with challenges. Increasingly, nations must navigate a complex web of relationships and competing interests, where power dynamics and the quest for dominance can create conflict. 
    
  Globalization has had a profound impact on international relations, but it has also revealed the limits of traditional diplomacy. In the past, diplomacy was primarily conducted between states, often in secret negotiations behind closed doors. Today, international diplomacy involves a wider range of actors, from multinational corporations and non-governmental organizations to grassroots movements and individual leaders. This shift has led to both opportunities and challenges for international cooperation, as diverse interests often clash in the pursuit of a global agenda.

  ‘Pembrokeshire’s Past’ vividly and unforgettably brings to life the boisterous and turbulent history of this little-known Welsh peninsula jutting out into the Irish Sea. The book is a fascinating and unforgettable read. A great glacier overrode the mountains in the north and produced the blue stones of Stonehenge. Upper Palaeolithic mammoth hunters sheltered in limestone caves. As the climate warmed, Mesolithic people were followed by Neolithic people who left their spectacular stone burial chambers. Rising sea levels produced sunken forests around the coast. Bronze Age people left stone circles and burial mounds. Iron Age Celtic settlers left many hill forts. Turbulence followed with Roman, Irish, Viking and Norman invasions. The latter left the great stone castles. The Civil War was strongly contested. Lord Palmerston built many forts in the south. A great naval shipbuilding yard operated in Pembroke Dock. For beach walkers, the flora and fauna from the Amazon and Caribbean that wash ashore are described in all their remarkable and colourful detail.
