    'she is no small town, and this is no small story . . .'
    BASED ON THE POPULAR DUBLIN HISTORY PODCAST
    
    
    A companion to the hugely successful podcast of the same name by Donal Fallon, THREE CASTLES BURNING is an enjoyable wander through some of Dublin's less obvious but more interesting streets and roads such as Henrietta Street, Watling Street, Fownes Street and Kildare Road.
    On the Dublin streets we walk every day, there are hidden reminders of the lesser-known heroes and events that have contributed to the evolving story of our capital. The city's motto, 'the obedience of the citizens produces a happy city', may feel outdated and loaded today but the three burning castles of its ancient coat of arms have come to represent the indomitable spirit, creativity and vision that define this big town. Inspired by the No. 1 podcast, Three Castles Burning: A History of Dublin in Twelve Streets champions the activists, workers, architects, poets, migrants, artists and merchants who have made and remade the city we know and love by going beneath the many layers of twelve key streets where they lived and worked. Because, in the city Joyce called the 'Hibernian Metropolis', the disobedience of its citizens is the cornerstone of its past, present and future.
    This combination of social, cultural, industrial and commercial, and political history, through the prism of the places where revolutions great and small were sparked, offers the reader a fresh and unexpected take on Ireland's capital city.

    Simulated Lives: Are We Already Living in a Matrix? 
    Have you ever felt that reality is not quite what it seems? What if everything around you—your experiences, your beliefs, your very existence—is an intricate illusion, a sophisticated simulation crafted to keep you unaware and controlled? "Simulated Lives: Are We Already Living in a Matrix?" takes you on a deep, provocative journey into the possibility that our world is nothing more than a digital construct. This groundbreaking book is not just an exploration of the Simulation Hypothesis; it is a call to awaken from the slumber of the mind and reclaim your reality. 
    Drawing from cutting-edge scientific theories, philosophical insights, and the latest technological advancements, this book challenges the very fabric of our existence. Are we mere code in a cosmic program run by advanced civilizations, future humans, or artificial superintelligence? Are phenomena like déjà vu, the Mandela Effect, and quantum entanglement the glitches in a sophisticated digital system? Are AI, virtual reality, and augmented reality the first steps toward a deeper digital imprisonment? 
    With a compelling narrative, "Simulated Lives" leads you through the implications of living in a simulated reality, the battle for consciousness, and the ultimate revolution of awareness. This is not just a book; it is a manifesto for those who dare to question the nature of their existence, who seek to break free from the illusion, and who are ready to choose between freedom and control. 
    Are you prepared to take the red pill and see how deep the rabbit hole goes? Discover the truth and join the awakening.

    Up to 90% of adults in the US will experience one or more traumatic events in their lifetimes, including interpersonal violence, traffic collisions, and sexual assault. While most who suffer a trauma naturally recover over time, for others difficulties continue, and may lead to full-blown depression, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), substance use, anxiety disorders, and other problems that interfere with healthy daily functioning. 
     
     
     
    Making Meaning of Difficult Experiences is a self-guided mental health resource for people who have had potentially traumatic experiences and who wish to work through them independently, outside of a formal therapeutic setting. Based on psychological treatments with strong scientific support, this book introduces listeners to several useful tools that will help them to emotionally process difficult experiences, with the goal of moving on from the event and building future resilience. The program takes the listener step-by-step through four skill sets to facilitate emotional processing of difficult experiences: Memory Exposure and Processing, Behavioral Activation, Social Connection, and Self-Care. Listeners use this self-evaluation to determine what is working or not working for them, enabling them to focus more on certain skills, or to complete the full program based on their needs.

    **Wage-Labour and Capital & Value, Price, and Profit** by Karl Marx is a compelling introduction to Marxist economic theory, combining two of his most influential works. In *Wage-Labour and Capital*, Marx explores the relationship between labor and capital, illuminating how the commodification of labor under capitalism generates profit for capitalists at the expense of workers. In *Value, Price, and Profit*, Marx delves deeper into the mechanisms of capitalist economies, discussing the labor theory of value, the creation of surplus value, and the inherent exploitation of wage labor. Together, these texts offer a powerful critique of capitalism's structure and dynamics, providing readers with foundational insights into Marxist economics and the social implications of labor exploitation. This edition is an essential resource for anyone seeking to understand the theories that have shaped modern political and economic thought.
