Ireland is an island nation, inextricably linked with and dependent upon the sea which surrounds us. From earliest times, ships from distant lands have brought goods, ideas, invaders, influencers. Our legends, and particularly the imramma or magical Otherworld voyage tales, show how deep our involvement with the ocean goes.Jo Kerrigan has discovered and retold tales from all around the Irish coast of storms, shipwrecks, pirate attacks and smuggling, as well as shipping stories, both of long distance trading and the little boats which took supplies from major harbours to smaller communities.The sea has an enduring fascination: let Jos tales and Richard Mills evocative photographs transport you to the coast to rediscover the tales gathered over the centuries by its communities.

Discover a collection of fairy tales unlike the ones youve read before . . . Once upon a time, in the middle of winter, a King sat at a window and sewed. As he sewed and gazed out onto the landscape, he pricked his finger with the needle, and three drops of blood fell onto the snow outside.People have been telling fairy tales to their children for hundreds of years. And for almost as long, people have been rewriting those fairy tales - to help their children imagine a world where they are the heroes. Karrie and Jon were reading their child these stories when they hit upon a dilemma, something previous versions of these stories were missing, and so they decided to make one vital change..They havent rewritten the stories in this book. They havent reimagined endings, or reinvented characters. What they have done is switch all the genders. It might not sound like that much of a change, but youll be dazzled by the world this swap creates - and amazed by the new characters youre about to discover.

"Compelling... This is a captivating account of Glossips fight for truth." -- Sir Richard BransonA tense mix of Dead Man Walking and Making a Murderer, Surviving Execution combines the very best in true-crime writing with a searching exploration of our most barbaric punishment. Imagine being condemned to death for murder, when even the prosecutors admit that you didnt actually kill anyone. This is what happened to Richard Glossip, a death-row inmate who was found guilty of murdering motel owner, Barry van Treese. Despite being convicted on the word of the actual self-confessed killer, the state of Oklahoma is still intent on executing him, raising international outcry and controversy. Ian Woods, a reporter for Sky News in the UK, came across the case one quiet afternoon, and has tirelessly campaigned ever since to bring the injustices Glossip has faced to the worlds attention. He even served as an invited witness to Glossips three scheduled executions - all of which were stayed at the last possible moment. This is the gripping true story of the case, and their turbulent friendship, written by a man with unparalleled first-hand knowledge and access.

In The CEO of the Sofa, P. J. tackles everything and the kitchen sink, fighting evil, injustice, and absurdity with the gloves off and the oven mitts on.New York Times best-selling author P. J. ORourke lobbed one-liners on the battlefields of the Gulf War, traded quips with communist rebels in the jungles of the Philippines, and went undercover at the Dome of the Rock Mosque as P. .J. of Arabia. Now, in his most challenging adventure, he journeys to the heart of that truly harrowing place-his living room. He waxes cynical over the election of Hillary Clinton. He waxes nostalgic over learning to drive. He waxes poetic as he adds happy endings for liberals to famous tragedies. Now if he would just wax the kitchen floor. And P. J. does still get off the couch and embark on exotic adventures-to the magical land of India, to the U. N. Millennial Summit, to a blind (drunk) wine tasting with Christopher Buckley, and, most exotical of all, to a Motel 6 where he has twenty-eight channels and a bathroom to himself.

¿Qué nos hace humanos? ¿Podemos vivir sin cultura? ¿Somos libres ante ella? ¿Para qué nos sirven las creencias, o las relaciones de parentesco? ¿Cómo la tecnología transforma nuestras culturas?Este libro plantea estas cuestiones y algunas respuestas, pero, como dice Tim Ingold, una formacion en antropologia debe hacer mas que proveer de un conocimiento sobre el mundo, los pueblos y las sociedades. Debe antes educar nuestra percepcion del mundo y abrir nuestros ojos y mentes a las posibilidades del ser.Se propone, pues, un enfoque abierto, asequible y actual que invite al lector a un acercamiento honesto al otro por medio de una reflexion critica y personal sobre nuestro mundo globalizado y diverso.Los contenidos de esta guia se abordan en dos bloques. Un primer bloque, centrado en los conceptos basicos de la antropologia y su metodologia y un segundo bloque de contenidos que se aproxima a los conflictos de lo humano.Antropologia, una guia para pensar lo humano es un texto basico de iniciacion hacia una mirada antropologica de la realidad para estudiantes universitarios y todas aquellas personas interesadas en esta area de investigacion. Facilita el intercambio de conocimiento y experiencias para impulsar los debates antropologicos en el apasionante y cambiante mundo que nos toca vivir.
