    This book contains the following three titles: 
    ADHD: Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects millions of people worldwide. It is characterized by persistent patterns of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity that can interfere with daily functioning. While ADHD is most commonly diagnosed in childhood, it often continues into adolescence and adulthood, affecting individuals across various stages of life. Despite its prevalence, ADHD remains misunderstood by many, leading to misconceptions and challenges for those living with it. 
    Asperger's Syndrome: Neurodiversity is the concept that neurological differences, including those seen in Asperger’s Syndrome, are a natural variation of human diversity. Instead of viewing these differences as deficits or disorders, neurodiversity encourages us to appreciate the value these variations bring to society. It emphasizes that individuals with Asperger’s Syndrome and other neurodivergent conditions offer unique perspectives, skills, and talents that are often overlooked or underappreciated in traditional settings. 
    Autism: Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a complex and diverse condition that affects how individuals perceive, interact with, and experience the world. The term "spectrum" reflects the wide range of abilities, challenges, and unique perspectives of people with autism, making each person’s experience of ASD distinct. This book explores the spectrum of autism, delving into its traits, challenges, and remarkable strengths, as well as examining the importance of creating inclusive environments in which neurodiverse individuals can thrive.

    The Instant Top 5 Irish Times Bestseller 
    From the creator of The Irish History Podcast comes a fascinating look at Irish history through the lens of murder. 
    In A Lethal Legacy, Fin Dwyer charts 200 years of Irish history, opening up our past as never before, by observing the grand societal changes of our times through the intimate lens of eighteen murders and the lives and communities they altered forever. 
    From the creator of the critically acclaimed Irish History Podcast comes a ground-breaking exploration of the past, casting its gaze beyond the chambers of power and carnage of battle, and into the lives of the everyday people that lived through those violent centuries. From the desperate retributions of the Land War of the nineteenth century, through the unprecedented tumult of the revolutionary years, to the causes that helped to shape contemporary Ireland, these previously overlooked cases of human tragedy offer a fresh perspective on a history we think we know. 
    Astonishing, illuminating and compelling, A Lethal Legacy chronicles Ireland’s turbulent past through one of our most enduring fascinations – the act of killing – and in mapping the causes and aftermath of these cases, Dwyer offers us a fresh new understanding of the fires that forged modern Ireland. 
    In his latest book, Dwyer offers a riveting addition to the shelves of great historical books of 2023, extending its reach beyond Ireland to touch upon the wider European canvas, where the echoes of Ireland's struggles resonate with social and historical undercurrents in Britain and the rest of Europe. For readers looking to expand their understanding of Ireland's position within the greater European context in the last centuries, this book is an essential read. For fans of Colin Walsh (Kala), David Grann (Killers of the Flower Moon), Martin Doyle (Dirty Linen) and Ronan McGreevy (The Kidnapping) and Paul Lynch (Prophet Song). 
    Dwyer's new perspective on crime, a topic deeply embedded in Ireland's history, is both enlightening and captivating. His unique approach to storytelling, combined with meticulous research, makes A Lethal Legacy a must-read for anyone interested in crime history. 
    For fans of David Grann (The Wager), Ronan Mcgreevy (Great Hatred), Richard O'Rawe (Stakeknife's Dirty War), Máiría Cahill (Rough Beast), and Jennifer O'Leary (The Padre).

    Portal - San Francisco's Ferry...

    A two-time Pulitzer finalist explores the story of American urban design through San Francisco's iconic Ferry Building. 
     
     
     
    Conceived in the Gilded Age, the Ferry Building opened in 1898 as San Francisco's portal to the world—the terminus of the transcontinental railway and a showcase of civic ambition. In silent films and World's Fair postcards, nothing said "San Francisco" more than its soaring clock tower. But as acclaimed architectural critic John King recounts, the rise of the automobile and double-deck freeways severed the city from its beloved structure. King's narrative spans the rise and fall and rebirth of the Ferry Building, introducing colorful figures who fought to preserve its character (and the city's soul)—from architect Arthur Page Brown and legendary columnist Herb Caen to poet Lawrence Ferlinghetti and Senator Dianne Feinstein. A microcosm of the changing American waterfront, the saga of the Ferry Building explores the tensions of tourism and development—and the threat that sea level rise poses to a landmark that in the twenty-first century remains as vital as ever.

    The Impeachment Power - The Law...

    We are witnessing an unprecedented moment in American politics in which impeachments are increasingly common. In today's partisan environment, it is more vital than ever that government officials, scholars, and ordinary citizens understand what an impeachment can reasonably be expected to accomplish. In this incisive and accessible book, Keith Whittington provides needed clarity on the constitutional power of impeachment. 
     
     
     
    Drawing insights from American and British history, congressional practice, and the language of the Constitution itself, Whittington shows how impeachment is a tool for checking abuses of elective office and defending constitutional norms. While we have come to associate impeachment with the presidency, it can be used to remedy gross misconduct by an array of officers of the federal government. Whittington cautions against abusing this immense and consequential power to settle political scores, demonstrating how it undermines the independence of the branches and makes Congress the seat of political power. 
     
     
     
    A must-listen for the informed citizen, The Impeachment Power argues that impeachment is ultimately a political instrument and gives us the perspective we need to recognize when an impeachment might be useful and when we are better served by looking for alternative ways to solve our political problems.
