  Thirty-Two Words for Field -...

  Manchán Magan

  The Irish language has thirty-two words for field. Among them are: Geamhar – a field of corn-grass • Tuar – a field for cattle at night • Reidhlean – a field for games or dancing • Cathairin – a field with a fairy-dwelling in it. 
   
  The richness of the Irish language is closely tied to the natural landscape and offers a more magical way of seeing the world.  
   
  Most people associate Britain and Ireland with the English language, a vast, sprawling linguistic tree with roots in Latin, French, and German. But the inhabitants of these islands originally spoke another tongue. Look closely enough and English contains traces of the Celtic soil from which it sprung, found in words like bog, loch, cairn, and crag. Today, this heritage can be found nowhere more powerfully than in modern-day Gaelic.  
   
  In Thirty-Two Words for Field, Manchán explores how Gaelic, a three-thousand-year-old lexicon, has imbued the natural world with meaning and magic, evoking a time-honored way of life, from its thirty-two separate words for a field to terms like bróis (whiskey for a horseman at a wedding), iarmhaireacht (the loneliness you feel when you are the only person awake at dawn), and bladhmann (steam rising from a fermented haystack or idle boasting).  
   
  Manchán urges readers to consider the sublime beauty and profound oddness of this ancient tongue that has been spoken in close connection to the land for thousands of years. Told through stories collected from his own life and travels, Thirty-Two Words for Field is an enthralling celebration of Irish words and a testament to the indelible relationship between landscape, culture, and language.

  Running Amok - Inside the Mind...

  What drives someone to commit the unthinkable?
  Austin 1966. Dunblane 1996. Port Arthur 1996. Utøya 2011. 
  In this deeply insightful account, pre-eminent forensic psychiatrist Paul E. Mullen examines the complex psychology behind lone mass killers. With unflinching clarity, he burrows into the minds of these damaged individuals, drawing on his decades of forensic work assessing mass murderers first-hand. 
  Mullen brings readers into a dark landscape populated with killers who have achieved the ugly fame they had sought – in the US, UK, Australia, Norway and beyond – as well as lesser-known, equally chilling cases. He illuminates troubling patterns that unite the perpetrators, such as obsessive rage, personal grievance, fascination with weapons and yearning for infamy, often culminating in suicide. He also considers the impact of media sensationalism on the killers' grandiose fantasies and proposes steps toward better threat assessment and identification of warning signs. 
  Challenging myths around madness and violence, Mullen reveals the unsettling truth: these killers are not incomprehensible monsters, but profoundly disturbed people shaped by knowable forces that, when properly understood, can be countered effectively. Running Amok does not simply examine tragedy; it is a call to action, urging society to confront the shadows and prevent the next horror.

  Discover the remarkable history of the Battle of New Orleans...
   
  The deciding battle of the War of 1812, the Battle of New Orleans, was won by the Americans on January 8, 1815, a few scant weeks after the British and American negotiators signed the Treaty of Ghent that ended the war, at least on paper. Assessed from that perspective, it might be regarded as an unnecessary battle of no importance, but nothing could be further from the truth.Had the British triumphed, it’s likely that they would have exploited their victory by maintaining control of New Orleans and the Mississippi River. The vast expanse of lands sold by Napoleon Bonaparte to Thomas Jefferson in the Louisiana Purchase might have been restored to its original realm, Spain, thereby cutting off the young American nation from westward expansion. Had Great Britain conquered New Orleans, the British would have held a position of dominance on the North American continent; the United States as we know it today might never have reached its status as a world power had its boundaries been tethered by the British.But the British did not win. Instead, the Battle of New Orleans bequeathed to the Americans a destiny which would rival anything the Founding Fathers could have imagined.

  Prelude to War
  Destination: New Orleans
  Old Hickory, American Hero
  The Red-Coated Rascals Versus the Dirty Shirts

  The Prince

  Niccolò Machiavelli

  The Prince is a 16th-century political treatise by the Italian diplomat and political theorist Niccolò Machiavelli. However, the printed version was not published until 1532, five years after Machiavelli's death. Although The Prince was written as if it were a traditional work in the mirrors for princes style, it is generally agreed that it was especially innovative. This is partly because it was written in the vernacular Italian rather than Latin, a practice that had become increasingly popular since the publication of Dante's Divine Comedy and other works of Renaissance literature. The Prince is sometimes claimed to be one of the first works of modern philosophy, especially modern political philosophy, in which the "effectual" truth is taken to be more important than any abstract ideal. It is also notable for being in direct conflict with the dominant Catholic and scholastic doctrines of the time, particularly those concerning politics and ethics.

  Technology and the Psychic: When...

  I’m both an Engineer and mostly enlightened clairvoyant so I feel comfortable in both the technology and spiritual worlds.  
  My career was mainly working as a software developer, software development manager, and IT project manager for large Aerospace corporations. I’ve also followed the history of AI tools and use them myself today. 
  Over the years I’ve written a number of books on the Paranormal and Spiritual topics many of which were based on my personal experiences such as my premonitions and prophecies. 
  These experiences have led me to believing that our entire world is conscious and we can tune into those consciousness frequencies through meditation and related practices. 
  A lot of people are worried about AI tools becoming conscious and taking over the world. This is often called us reaching the “Singularity”. 
  I decided to write this book to show how consciousness and technology are already working together and how they may work together even closer in the future. 
  Also, my perspective on whether Artificial Intelligence can ever become truly conscious. 
  So let us begin our fun exploration of exciting future possibilities.
