Louis de Paor is one of Ireland's leading Irish-language poets, and
was a key figure in the Irish language poetry renaissance of the
1980s and 90s. His dual-language selection The Brindled Cat and the
Nightingale's Tongue was published in 2014, following his selected
poems, Rogha Danta (2012), voted one of the top ten collections in
Irish since the turn of the millennium. This new dual-language
selection is mainly drawn from two other collections, Cupla Siamach
an Ama/The Siamese Twins of Time and Gra fiar/Crooked Love, with
translations made by Louis de Paor with Kevin Anderson and Biddy
Jenkinson. It shows a paring back of language and a greater
flexibility of form in his poetry, as well as a preoccupation with
the passage of time and its implications for both familial and
sexual love. His narrative skill and inventiveness come together in
the sequence 'La da raibh/One day', which follows a day in the life
of an imaginary village in the west of Ireland where the living and
the dead, the real and the unreal, collide. This was adapted for a
dual-language radio feature with music by Dana Lyn broadcast on RTE
Lyric FM and Raidio na Gaeltachta in 2021.

Published in 1995, the essays in this book are papers presented to
the second conference of the Interdisciplinary Research Network on
the Environment and Society (IRNES) held in Sheffield in September
1993. It follows "Perspectives on the Environment" (ed. Holder et
al, 1993, Avebury) to continue the dissemination of the work of
IRNES members to a wider audience. Part I explores the social
dimensions of environmental technology in the form of an
examination of the construction of global climate models, a
critical analysis of the discourses associated with agricultural
biotechnologies and the environmental implications of building
technologies. Part II explores national and international politics
of the environment in Britain, the Ukraine and Burma, Thailand and
Indonesia. Part III deals with planning for sustainability in Japan
and Britain. Part IV examines theories of democracy and the state
both nationally and in the form of the European Union's principle
of subsidiary.

It is generally accepted - the US administration excepted - that
the emissions reduction targets agreed in the Kyoto Protocol are
only the beginning of what needs to be achieved in international
climate negotiations. While studies suggest that major emission
reductions by industrialized countries can be achieved at low
economic cost, both these and early reductions by developing
countries are inevitably a major political challenge. This book
focuses on European policy toward climate change, specifically its
ramifications for the aviation industry. With air travel predicted
to grow enormously in the coming years, the issue of climate change
is hugely topical for this important industry. Accessible to
students, academics and practioners, this book is useful reading
for all those with an interest in climate change, the aviation
industry, or both.

Louis de Paor is one of Ireland's leading Irish-language poets, and
was a key figure in the Irish language literary renaissance of the
1970s and 80s. At that time he didn't want his poetry to be
translated into English, believing it should be judged solely on
his own original words and 'not critically assessed through the
distorting prism of English' (Pat Cotter). But living in Australia
for ten years gave him a different perspective, and he began
publishing his work in bilingual editions. Since his return to
Ireland in 1996, he has worked closely with poets Kevin Anderson,
Biddy Jenkinson and Mary O'Donoghue on English translations of his
poetry, with his co-translators fully engaging with the original
poem in Irish, but never publishing bilingually 'until the poems
have reached their first audience among Irish speakers'. This new
bilingual selection of his poetry takes its title from Gerry
Murphy's haiku 'Translation and its discontents', a reminder of the
more destructive aspects of translation: Stark moonlit silence the
brindled cat is chewing the nightingale's tongue. Here 'the
translator appropriates material from another language to sustain
the appetite of his own, devouring the original in the process. The
danger of suffocation has led to some unease among Irish language
poets.' Keenly aware of that ever-present danger and related
anxieties, he and his trio of translators have eschewed the modern
fashion for so-called "versions", producing English translations
which are as close as possible to the original Irish poems without
sacrificing their tone, energy, clarity and lightness of touch.
In a wild and battle-scarred galaxy, assassins, pirates, smugglers, and cutthroats of every description roam at will, fearing only the professional bounty hunters-amoral adventurers who track down the scum of the universe...for a fee. When Darth Vader seeks to strike at the heart of the Rebellion by targeting Han Solo and the Millennium Falcon, he calls upon six of the most successful-and feared-hunters, including the merciless Boba Fett. They all have two things in common: lust for profit and contempt for life... Featuring original stories by Kevin J. Anderson, M. Shayne Bell, Daniel Keys Moran, Kathy Tyers and Dave Wolverton.
Suspended helplessly between life and death, Luke Skywalker lies in state at the Jedi academy. But on the spirit plane, Luke fights desperately for survival, reaching out physically to the Jedi twins. At the same time, Leia is on a life-and-death mission of her own, a race against Imperial agents hoping to destroy a third Jedi child -- Leia and Han's baby Anakin -- hidden on the planet Anoth. Meanwhile, Luke's former protÚgÚ Kyp Durron has pirated the deadly Sun Crusher on an apocalyptic mission of mass destruction, convinced he is fighting for a just cause. Hunting down the rogue warrior, Han must persuade Kyp to renounce his dark crusade and regain his lost honor. To do it, Kyp must take the Sun Crusher on a suicide mission against the awesome Death Star prototype -- a battle Han knows they may be unable to win... even with Luke Skywalker at their side!
As the New Republic takes devastating losses in the ongoingwar with the scattered remnants of the Empire, the galaxy's future depends on three small children -- among them the Jedi twins -- born to incredible powers and perils, as an extraordinary new saga unfolds...
While the New Republic struggles to decide what to do with the deadly Sun Crusher -- a new doomsday weapon stolen from the Empire by Han Solo -- the renegade Imperial Admiral Daala uses her fleet of Star Destroyers to conduct guerrilla warfare on peaceful planets. And now she threatens the watery homeworld of Admiral Ackbar. But as the battle for a planet rages, an even greater danger emerges at Luke Skywalker's Jedi academy. A brilliant student delves dangerously into the dark side of the Force and unleashes the spirit of an ancient master of the evil order that warped Darth Vader himself. Working together, they may become an enemy greater than the New Republic has ever fought... more powerful than even a Jedi Master can face.
