A Book of Migrations portrays in microcosm a history made of great human tides of invasion, colonization, emigration, nomadism and tourism. Enriched by cross-cultural comparisons with the history of the American West, A Book of Migrations carves a new route through Ireland's history, literature and landscape.

The Danes have a word for the feeling of happy delight that you get from simple things in life: “hygge.” In I’m So Full of Happy Today: The Hygge Wisdom of Children you will explore many of the hilarious things kids say in our world today, like these quotes:   Dylan, age 5, “Mom, did it hurt much when you gave birth to Daddy?”Keira, age 8, “Being in love is like having a birthday in your stomach.”Miley, age 3, “When I grow up, I want to be pregnant. Or a princess.”Jack, age 5, “Mom, how old were you when you were my age?”  The latest in funny kids books: I’m So Full of Happy Today is a heartwarming collection of the remarkably observant, funny, and wise things said by children, aged two to ten years. All of the stories have a very real and personal feel, and include the name and age of each child.

    Outside was pitch darkness and the icy chill of the ocean’s depths—and the crushing weight of 1,700 feet of water. On the surface, a flotilla of ships and a rescue operation under the command of an eccentric retired naval commander. For three days, the world watched and held its breath. On August 29, 1973, a routine dive to the telecommunication cable that snakes along the Atlantic sea bed went badly wrong. Pisces III, with Roger Chapman and Roger Mallinson onboard, had tried to surface when a catastrophic fault suddenly sent the mini-submarine tumbling to the ocean bed—almost half a mile below. Badly damaged, buried nose first in a bed of sand, the submarine and the two men were now trapped far beyond the depth of all previous sub-sea rescues. They had just two days’ worth of oxygen. Rescue was three days away. The Dive reconstructs the minute-by-minute race against time that took place to first locate Pisces III and then execute the deepest rescue in maritime history. Ricocheting from the smoke filled “war room” at Vickers, the world famous ship-building headquarters in Barrow-in-Furness, to the surface vessels and then down to depths where three separate dive teams and the mini-submarine struggled in darkness, this thrilling adventure story shows how Britain, America, and Canada pooled their resources into a “Brotherhood of the Sea” dedicated to stopping the ocean depths from claiming two of their own.
