  'Courting is a wonderfully empathic and inclusive book about love and community and all the different ways people can build a good life.'―Patrick Freyne
  Looking for love – the most human quest of them all – has been transformed in recent years, with new technology removing the need to be in 'the right place at the right time'. Dating has never been more convenient, varied or disposable and we Irish have taken to it with gusto ... and not just in cities.
  Courting: Tractor Dates, Macra Babies and Swiping Right in Rural Ireland tells a variety of honest and touching stories of trying to meet The One in a rural setting, where the ingredients for successful dating – choice, proximity, free time and, for some, alcohol and anonymity – aren't always guaranteed. Liadán Hynes travels from family farms to tiny islands, village pubs to remote communities, to sit down with childhood sweethearts, long-lost loves and singles, ever hopefuls and lonely hearts, as they navigate this quest through tractor dates, Macra, dating apps and more. They candidly describe swiping for love and moving for it, hooking up and settling down, all while inheriting a 24/7 farm job or coming out, returning to the home place or joining the pandemic exodus.
  Revealing the importance of community, diversity and, above all, hope and resilience, Courting is an insightful and unique window into dating in rural Ireland today.

  The First Comprehensive Treatment of the Kennedy Assassination.  The US government lied to the American people about President Kennedy's death.  But, ironically it was the American people who solved the crime.  Over the past half century, hundreds of researchers investigated one or more parts of the murder, often using their own expertise, such as photography, computers, science, medical expertise, and analytical skills.  Taken together, their detailed work illuminated what really happened.  Author Donald T. Phillips has been following the Kennedy assassination since it happened.  This book begins at the end of World War II and concludes when the Warren Commission was formed.  Revealed along the way is the truth about the Bay of Pigs, the Cuban Missile Crisis, the ambush in Dealey Plaza, and JFK's fraudulent autopsy.  During his two years and eight months in office, President Kennedy prevented the US government from instigating a war that could have involved nuclear weapons in Vietnam, Laos, Berlin, the Soviet Union, and Cuba.  He was leading the nation away from armed conflict, ending the Cold War, and setting the stage for a lasting peace with all nations.  IN doing so, however, JFK was threatening long-established kopek structures within the government.  So on November 22, 1963, in broad daylight, they shot him in the  back and blew his brains out.  It was a pre-meditated, deliberate, willful act of murder with malice aforethought.  And they got away with it.  No one who participated in the crime was ever brought to justice.  Treason From Within answers the questions:  Who killed President Kennedy?  Why was he killed?  How was he killed?

  Newport Gardner's Anthem explores the remarkable life of Occramer Marycoo, an enslaved African who went on to become one of early America's most important Black leaders. In the mid-eighteenth century, Marycoo was taken from West Africa to Newport, Rhode Island, where he was forced into racial bondage and given a name that symbolized the power that his new city and new enslaver held over him: Newport Gardner. In this powerful book, Edward E. Andrews pieces together newspaper articles, church records, letters, and Gardner's own writings to tell the story of his life. 
  After acquiring his freedom via a winning lottery ticket in 1791, Gardner became a kind of Founding Father for Newport's free Black community. He became a popular educator to young Black Newporters, and emerged as a key religious figure, serving as a long-standing pillar of Newport's First Congregational Church and later founding an independent Black church in the 1820s. His final act was leading a group of about three dozen Black New Englanders to Liberia, in hopes that a new start in Africa would be better than the discrimination they faced in America. 
  A richly textured account, Newport Gardner's Anthem tells the story of a forgotten Black leader while exploring the new, but tragically limited, opportunities for formerly enslaved people in the post-Revolutionary world.

  SHORTLISTED FOR BEST NON-FICTION BOOK BY A PARLIAMENTARIAN AT THE PARLIAMENTARY BOOK AWARDS 2021'Read this book!' Caroline Lucas'My money's on Magid.' Thandie Newton"Thou shalt not ignore this book. Magid is magic!" - Jarvis Cocker 'A man so inspiring you will have no choice but to cast your hopeless lethargy asunder' - Rufus Hound A guide to being courageous and community-minded, and to disrupting and dismantling age-old power structures in work, life and politics, written by someone who has done exactly that. Let's be honest. Magid Magid's story seems an unlikely one. He's a Somali-born black Muslim refugee who became the youngest ever Lord Mayor of Sheffield and one of the last UK MEPs. Magid has made headlines nationally and internationally for his creative ways of campaigning while not conforming to tradition and being unapologetically himself.  Magid had no idea that the poster he dreamed up for a local music festival in 2018 would go viral. The poster contained the 10 commandments he tries to live by. He had no idea that this poster would come to represent a movement that has swept him to the heart of local and European establishment politics. Now, for the first time, he reveals the stories behind each of these 'commandments'; what drives him, the obstacles he overcame and what makes him hopeful.'His voice and representation are inspirational and a force to reckon with.' Dr Shola Mos-Shogbamimu, lawyer, activist and author'It's easy to problematise the world, but Magid has offered us answers , solutions and even the possibility of a new politics.' Jon McClure, lead singer of Reverend and The Makers'Magid's book could not be more timely. A must read for anyone who wants to change the world.' Chunky Mark, The Artist Taxi Driver
