  'Here is a history of publand, yes, but here is a moment in time as well.'
  For centuries, the public house has played an important role in the social and cultural history of Dublin. As the headquarters for a major revolution, a mecca of literary invention or a haven from work, 'the local' is a cornerstone of community life and a testament to human endeavour in an ever-changing city.
  Beginning with the taverns and ale houses of the 17th and 18th centuries, Donal Fallon brings the reader on a visual journey through world renowned public houses such as the Brazen Head, The Long Hall, Grogan's and The Palace, and on to early houses and gay bars, spirit grocers and shebeens. As well as the establishments themselves, the 'Plain People of Ireland' appear in chapters about temperance, karaoke and snugs. Along the way, we meet patrons as diverse and famous around the capital as Theobald Wolfe Tone, Nell McCafferty and Con Houlihan. And visitors to Dublin are also here, as the photographer Lee Miller seeks out the city of James Joyce and Elizabeth Taylor searches in vain for the Ladies' toilet.
  Drawing from rich archival collections, The Dublin Pub includes many previously unpublished photographs as well as testimonies from the past and present to bring the history of the Dublin pub to vivid life.

  Being Loki

  A little concerned that he seemed to have skipped the Norn's notice when it came to getting a mate, Norse God Loki decided to embark on a path of discovery. He believed that the Norns hadn't put a mate in his path, yet, because he didn't know much about living as a mortal. So, in the interests of learning all he could about the human experience, and following a path many mortals did, Loki employed the services of a therapist. And, sure enough, after following her directions, Loki found himself standing in front of his mate.  
  Let the loving and fun times begin...  
  Except, Anubis, Egyptian God of Mummification, Death, and Lost Souls, was having a few issues of his own. He wasn't about to reject Loki, he hadn't heard of him before, but he was too wound up in his own human experiences. They included a blond twink named Cooper, a nightclub with staff who didn't know their place, and concerns about what he'd learned regarding Osiris during his father's altercation with Seth.  
  Nobody had ever worked out if fated gods could live without each other, but with everything going on around them, Anubis and Loki might have to see if it was possible. Loki would only take a certain amount of being ignored before he did what he did best - Being Loki.  
  Being Loki is an MM paranormal romance story where Loki is described at one point as being something akin to an adorable puppy. I wouldn't write about him unless I could give him an HEA, but he and Anubis do have some fun working things out. This book is intended for adults only - please store your content responsibly. 
  Can be read as standalone, but reading Odin's story (Special Enough) and Seth's Story (Reconciliation) will give you more depth about the backstories.

  At the beginning of the 21st century, the EU is facing deep political, social, and economic changes. The benefit of supranational organization is no longer obvious to European citizens and questions of legitimacy have accompanied the EU's development over the last decades. Regions - albeit often deemed »obsolete« - present themselves as stable and reliable partners in this turbulent environment: in being important objects of identification to their citizens, but also relevant political and legal entities in the EU's multilevel governance system. This edited volume asks about the role of regions and regional identity in a European Union that is perhaps struggling more than ever about its future.

  "Too much sanity may be madness—and maddest of all: to see life as it is, and not as it should be!"
  
  Enter the world of the original mad genius, Don Quixote. Miguel de Cervantes' towering masterpiece is not just the first modern novel; it's a timeless, hilarious, and deeply moving saga that has influenced literature for over four centuries.
  
  Alonso Quijano, a Spanish nobleman, reads too many chivalric romances and decides to resurrect the age of knights. Renaming himself Don Quixote of La Mancha, he sets off on absurd adventures, mistaking windmills for giants, innkeepers for lords, and peasant girls for his noble lady, Dulcinea.
  
  Accompanied by his pragmatic (and increasingly philosophical) squire, Sancho Panza, Quixote's quest is a brilliant exploration of:
  
  Illusion vs. Reality: The tragicomic battle between what is and what we wish it to be.
  
  The Power of Imagination: A defense of dreams and idealism in a cynical world.
  
  The Dawn of the Novel: A foundational text of Spanish literature that effortlessly blends humor, adventure, and profound commentary.
  
  Whether you're engaging with a modern translation like Edith Grossman or the classic Smollett, the core truth remains: Don Quixote is an essential read.
  
  Dare to dream the impossible dream. Click "Buy Now" and join the knight-errant and his loyal squire on their hilarious journey.
