Synopsis

In "Celtic Mythology," T. W. Rolleston embarks on an in-depth exploration of the rich tapestry of Celtic narratives, weaving together the legends, deities, and folklore of the ancient Celtic peoples. Through a scholarly yet accessible narrative style, Rolleston delves into notable figures such as Cú Chulainn and the Tuatha Dé Danann, presenting a comprehensive overview that situates these myths within their cultural and historical contexts. The text juxtaposes the oral traditions with the written accounts, illustrating the transformative nature of myth in Celtic society while drawing parallels with other mythological traditions. T. W. Rolleston, a noted scholar of Celtic studies and mythology, draws upon his extensive knowledge and fervent interest in the ancient Celtic world to craft this seminal work. His engagement with Irish and Welsh literature, combined with his expertise in comparative mythology, allows him to illuminate aspects of Celtic identity and heritage that had long been overlooked in academic discourse. Rolleston's work is informed not only by historical linguistics but also by a deep appreciation for the artistic and spiritual dimensions of these myths. "Celtic Mythology" is an essential read for anyone fascinated by the intersection of history, literature, and mythology. Rolleston's meticulous research and nuanced storytelling make it an invaluable resource for scholars, students, and enthusiasts alike. Whether you are new to the subject or seeking to deepen your understanding, this book offers profound insights into the cultural legacy of the Celts and the enduring power of their stories.

    Disconnection has become an epidemic, and it may require a revolutionary effort to get us back together—a reconnection revolution.  
    Staying connected in this human race is the most direct route to happiness. But never have we been more disconnected. A call to simply connect isn’t enough any longer. Connection is what we’re wired for, and it can be easy: waving at your neighbour, going on that second date, buying coffee for the person behind you. The hard part comes when we are called on to reconnect, to repair or re-engage, especially after we’ve been wronged, alienated or hurt. We all desperately want to get it right, but this requires another step, which is the magic each of us so often misses: the act of seeing. As simple as it is complex, it all comes down to this truth: when we’re feeling seen, we will rise.   
    Feeling Seen is a timely work with a timeless message. Written on a blueprint of theory, with a road map of reconnection (including three simple stops) and a way back for when we get lost, it leads to a place where all of those who share the human race will truly see—in ourselves as well as one another—our differences, our sorrows and our joys.

    A large, widening gap has opened between Western democracies' international ambitions and their domestic political capacity to support them. On issues ranging from immigration and international trade to national security, new political parties on the left and the right are rejecting the core foreign policy principles that Western governments have championed for over half a century. In Geopolitics and Democracy, Peter Trubowitz and Brian Burgoon provide a powerful new explanation for the rise of anti-globalism in the West. 
     
     
     
    Trubowitz and Burgoon show that support for globalism has been receding for thirty years in Western parties and legislatures. They trace the anti-globalist backlash to foreign policy decisions that mainstream parties and party elites made after the end of the Cold War. These decisions sought to globalize markets and pool sovereignty at the supranational level while applying neoliberal reforms to social protections and guarantees at home. 
     
     
     
    Geopolitics and Democracy reveals how domestic support for international engagement during the long East-West geopolitical contest was contingent upon social protections within Western democracies. In the absence of a renewed commitment to those social purposes, Western democracies will struggle to find a collective grand strategy that their domestic publics will support.

Gibran’s book follows the final hours of the prophet Almustafa as he prepares to depart the city of Orphalese, offering distilled reflections on the fundamental forces of human existence—love, work, joy, sorrow, freedom, self-knowledge, and death. Each teaching arises from direct insight rather than doctrine, presenting life as an interwoven field of opposites whose tensions refine the soul. The text unfolds as a sequence of poetic addresses that cut through sentiment and moralism, pointing the reader toward inward clarity and responsibility.

    The tireless resistance of local communities fighting for ownership of America's third largest water system 
     
     
      
    Toxic Water, Toxic System exposes the consequences of a seemingly anonymous authoritarian state willing to maintain white supremacy at any cost—including poisoning an entire city and shutting off water to thousands of people. Weaving together narratives of frontline activists along with archival data, Michael Mascarenhas provides a powerful exploration of the political alliances and bureaucratic mechanisms that uphold inequality. 
     
     
      
    Drawing from three years of ethnographic fieldwork in Flint and Detroit, this book amplifies the voices of marginalized communities, particularly African American women, whose perspectives and labor have been consistently overlooked. Toxic Water, Toxic System offers a fresh perspective on the ties between urban austerity policies, environmental harm, and the advancement of white supremacist agendas in predominantly Black and brown cities.
