Synopsis

In "The History of Ireland," Thomas D'Arcy McGee meticulously chronicles the tumultuous past of Ireland from ancient times through the 19th century. McGee employs a vivid narrative style, blending historical fact with lyrical prose, making complex events accessible and engaging. This work emerges from a period marked by political upheaval and cultural revival, positioned within the broader context of nationalist movements across Europe, and reflects McGee's profound understanding of Ireland's socio-political fabric, enhancing its relevance in Irish historiography. Thomas D'Arcy McGee, an emigrant from Ireland to Canada, epitomizes the dual identity that inspired this work; a nationalist steeped in the struggles of his homeland, he sought to counteract prevailing British narratives. His experiences as a journalist and politician deeply informed his analysis, motivating him to advocate for Irish self-determination while celebrating its rich heritage. McGee's immersion in both the Canadian and Irish political landscapes provides a unique lens through which he addresses issues of identity, belonging, and governance. This book is essential for anyone seeking to understand the complexities of Irish identity and history. McGee's balanced approach and eloquent style render it a valuable resource for scholars and casual readers alike, encouraging a deeper appreciation of Ireland's multifaceted past.

    There are a lot of personality and intelligence tests out there designed to label you and put you in a particular box. But Dr. Caroline Leaf says there's much more to you than a personality profile can capture. In fact, you cannot be categorized! 
     
    Based on her powerful book, this study takes participants through seven steps to unlock their unique design--the brilliantly original way they think, feel, relate, and make choices--freeing them from comparison, envy, and jealousy, which destroy brain tissue. Participants learn to be aware of what's going on in their own minds and bodies, to lean in to their own experiences rather than trying to forcefully change them, and to redefine what success means to them. Released from the suffocating box of expectations, they'll embrace their true identity and develop a clear sense of divine purpose in their lives.

    On the Genealogy of Morals

    The sight of suffering does one good, the infliction of suffering does one more good - this is a hard maxim, but none the less a fundamental maxim, old, powerful, and "human, all-too-human".
     
    In this daring and insightful work, Nietzsche lays bare the hypocrisies at the foundations of our ideas of morality. Considering ideas of good and evil, guilt and conscience, and law and violence along the way, On the Genealogy of Morals takes the reader on a journey through the history of value systems in three masterful essays.
     
    His insights are sometimes uncomfortable, sometimes provocative, but always demonstrate the workings of an exceptional mind. Together, this collection of essays makes up one of the most powerful works of modern philosophy that seeks to do nothing less than unravel the mysteries of human nature.

    The days of two genders—male, female; boy, girl; blue, pink—are over, if they ever existed at all. Gender is now a global conversation, and one that is constantly evolving. More people than ever before are openly living their lives as transgender men or women, and many transgender people are coming out as neither men nor women, instead living outside of the binary. Gender is changing, and this change is gaining momentum. 
     
     
     
    We all want to do and say the right things in relation to gender diversity—whether at a job interview, at parent/teacher night, and around the table at family dinners. But where do we begin? 
     
     
     
    From the differences among gender identity, gender expression, and sex, to the use of gender-neutral pronouns like singular they/them, to thinking about your own participation in gender, Gender: Your Guide serves as "a warm, inviting guide to a complicated area" (The Globe and Mail, Toronto). Professor and gender diversity advocate Lee Airton, PhD, explains how gender works in everyday life; how to use accurate terminology to refer to transgender, non-binary, and/or gender non-conforming individuals; and how to ask when you aren't sure what to do or say. It provides the information you need to talk confidently and compassionately about gender diversity, whether simply having a conversation or going to bat as an advocate.
