In Broken Harbour, a ghost estate outside Dublin - half-built,
half-inhabited, half-abandoned - two children and their father are
dead. The mother is on her way to intensive care. Scorcher Kennedy
is given the case because he is the Murder squad's star detective.
At first he and his rookie partner, Richie, think this is a simple
one: Pat Spain was a casualty of the recession, so he killed his
children, tried to kill his wife Jenny, and finished off with
himself. But there are too many inexplicable details and the
evidence is pointing in two directions at once. Scorcher's personal
life is tugging for his attention. Seeing the case on the news has
sent his sister Dina off the rails again, and she's resurrecting
something that Scorcher thought he had tightly under control: what
happened to their family, one summer at Broken Harbour, back when
they were children. The neat compartments of his life are breaking
down, and the sudden tangle of work and family is putting both at
risk ...
Brought up by a wonderful group of animals on a hidden island
somewhere deep in the Caribbean, Jim knows no other life or who his
real parents are. He washed up on the island as a baby in a barrel
of rum and treasure, and has been helping run its special
lighthouse with the animals ever since. But now, trouble is brewing
... Someone, or something, has stolen the lighthouse bulb
filaments. If Jim, Oscar and the rest of the animals can't get the
lighthouse beams working again, the hidden island will no longer be
a secret. And with a pirate ship on the horizon, danger is about to
smash their tranquil island apart ...

Can our research create conditions for people to flourish? What
kinds of questions do we ask about the social world and how
knowledge is produced? Does our approach to research itself matter?
This edited collection explores and illustrates the nature of
research for social justice. Drawing on a diverse range of social
research projects, it examines research with and for young people,
marginalised communities and those who work to further social
justice and human rights goals. Providing key examples of the
tools, processes and outcomes of research relevant to social
justice, including where and how these frameworks can be used in
the design and execution of research, this is a much-needed
intervention to social research methodology.
This concise volume calls attention to the instruction-giving
practices of language teachers in online environments, in
particular videoconferencing, employing a Multimodal (Inter)action
Analysis approach to explore the challenges, affordances, and
pedagogical implications of teaching in these settings. The book
examines the unique competences necessary for language teachers in
multimodal synchronous online environments, which require mediating
a mix of modes, including spoken language gaze, gesture, posture,
and textual elements. Satar and Wigham’s innovative approach
draws on Sigrid Norris’s work on Multimodal (Inter)action
Analysis to examine variance in practices, combining in-depth
micro-analytic analysis of mediation with a consideration of the
modal density and complexity in the act of giving instructions. The
volume shows how studying instruction giving can offer a better
understanding of how online teachers mediate learning multimodally
in electronic environments, but also research-informed guidance for
practical implementation in the classroom. This book is a valuable
resource for scholars in applied linguistics, language education,
and language learning and teaching as well as practicing online
language teachers. Full-size versions of all Figures, Extracts, and
Tables are available in colour at

‘Bridget Jones meets menopause…sharp, funny and real’ Cecelia
Ahern Lay on couch for a brief nap. Woke up an hour later, the
witch trials book I’m reading stuck to one side of my face.
Pretending not to be menopausal is exhausting. When fifty-year-old
Agatha Doyle starts keeping a diary, all it seems to record is how
she doesn’t know who she is any more. Her glorious empty house is
full of people. And her head is full of fog. All it takes to tip
her over the edge is a pair of red velvet heels and a man who
won’t stop talking. Standing up for herself – and for midlife
women everywhere – Agatha unwittingly goes viral. But with a
distant husband and an even more distant sex life, can she also
become the heroine of her own life? ‘I laughed out loud at this
fabulous, joyful book’ Napier Courier ‘One of my absolutely
favourite authors’ Sheila O’Flanagan ‘Witty, poignant and a
complete page-turner’ Sinead Moriarty ‘Laugh-out-loud funny
with a spikily endearing heroine who runs full tilt at the
menopause with a baseball bat in her hands’ Cathy Kelly ‘So
funny and smart and warm…honestly all women will love this
book’ Anna McPartlin ‘Written in a deliciously dead-pan tone,
this hilarious, heartfelt novel will appeal to readers at any
age’ Irish Times, ‘25 Great Holiday Books’

This book provides an overview of Irish gender history from the end
of the Great Famine in 1852 until the foundation of the Irish Free
State in 1922. It builds on the work that scholars of women's
history pioneered and brings together internationally regarded
experts to offer a synthesis of the current historiography and
existing debates within the field. The authors place emphasis on
highlighting new and exciting sources, methodologies, and suggested
areas for future research. They address a variety of critical
themes such as the family, reproduction and sexuality, the medical
and prison systems, masculinities and femininities, institutions,
charity, the missions, migration, 'elite women', and the
involvement of women in the Irish nationalist/revolutionary period.
Envisioned to be both thematic and chronological, the book provides
insight into the comparative, transnational, and connected
histories of Ireland, India, and the British empire. An important
contribution to the study of Irish gender history, the volume
offers opportunities for students and researchers to learn from the
methods and historiography of Irish studies. It will be useful for
scholars and teachers of history, gender studies, colonialism,
post-colonialism, European history, Irish history, Irish studies,
and political history. The Open Access version of this book,

Austerity and Irish Women's Writing and Culture, 1980-2020 focuses
on the under-represented relationship between austerity and Irish
women's writing across the last four decades. Taking a wide focus
across cultural mediums, this collection of essays from leading
scholars in Irish studies considers how economic policies impacted
on and are represented in Irish women's writing during critical
junctures in recent Irish history. Through an investigation of
cultural production north and south of the border, this collection
analyses women's writing using a multimedium approach through four
distinct lenses: austerity, feminism, and conflict; arts and
austerity; race and austerity; and spaces of austerity. This
collection asks two questions: what sort of cultural output does
austerity produce? And if the effects of austerity are gendered,
then what are the gender-specific responses to financial
insecurity, both national and domestic? By investigating how
austerity is treated in women's writing and culture from 1980 to
2020, this collection provides a much-needed analysis of the
gendered experience of economic crisis and specifically of
Ireland's consistent relationship with cycles of boom and bust.
Thirteen chapters, which focus on fiction, drama, poetry, women's
life writing, and women's cultural contributions, examine these
questions. This volume takes the reader on a journey across decades
and forms as a means of interrogating the growth of the economic
divide between the rich and the poor since the 1980s through the
voices of Irish women.
This book examines the relationship between moments of significant
social change on the island of Ireland and performance practice
during the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. It examines how
moments of significant change influence not only the content of
performance practice but also the form and function of theatre
production and reception. This book investigates how the Troubles
and subsequent Peace Process, Second-Wave Feminism, the Celtic
Tiger and neoliberalism, social revolution, and the COVID-19
pandemic impacts the form and function of performance practice
across the island of Ireland. Although these forms of theatre and
performance making refer to varied and distinct lineages of
practice internationally, there are key parallels that compel a
study of their inter-relationality in a specific Irish context.
This book explores how the performance of Ireland illuminates
histories and stories that are on the margins, illuminating the
lived realities of everyday life through the presentation of
moments of violence, oppression, and trauma as something that is as
important as the larger narratives often ascribed to nationhood.
This book asks how performance practice engages with and informs
moments of major social change on the island of Ireland through the
distinct yet intersecting lenses of place, performance form, and
social context over the course of almost a century of Irish theatre
and performance practice.
When Aideen agrees to help ambitious class swot Maebh Kowalska deal with her crazy workload, she doesn’t expect to end up reluctantly pushing Maebh down the stairs. With this, Aideen becomes the school ‘fixer’: any problem a student has, Aideen will sort it out, from stealing confiscated mobiles to breaking into parties. All she asks for is a favour in return. But Aideen’s own life is a mess – her mam’s drinking again, her BFF Holly is avoiding her and she’s skipping school. Spending more time with the uptight (but annoyingly cute) Maebh and chatterbox Kavi, Aideen starts to wonder: can every problem be solved?

Foreword by Ciara In this breakthrough book, the author of Wall
Street Journal bestseller It Takes What It Takes provides
life-changing, step-by-step guidance on how to successfully
navigate adversity and defeat negativity by downshifting to neutral
thinking. It's easy to be positive when everything is coming up
roses. But what happens when life goes sideways? Many of us lapse
into a self-defeating negative spiral that makes it hard to
accomplish anything. Getting to Neutral is a step-by-step guide
that shows readers how to use mental conditioning coach Trevor
Moawad's innovative motivational system to defeat negativity and
thrive. Neutral thinking is a judgment-free, process-oriented
approach that helps us coolly assess situations in high-pressure
moments. Moawad walks readers through how to downshift to neutral
no matter how dire the situation. He shows us how to behave our way
to success, how to determine and practice our values in a neutral
framework, and how to surround ourselves with a team that helps us
to stay neutral. Filled with raw, inspiring stories of how Trevor
navigated health challenges with neutral thinking as well as
insights drawn from some of the world's best athletes, coaches, and
leaders, Getting to Neutral will help readers learn to handle even
the most complex and turbulent situations with calm, clarity, and
resolve.
Forty-two-year-old Vinnie knows lots of things. He knows new books
and school shoes are expensive. He knows his teenage daughter keeps
getting into trouble and he knows his eight-year-old has wet the
bed every night for the past year and a half. What Vinnie doesn't
know is where his wife is, or how he will ever get better at single
fatherhood. Ellen knows how much it costs to take a taxi to the
physio. She knows she's too scared to get behind the wheel of a car
ever again and she knows that what happened in the accident was all
her fault. What Ellen doesn't know is that Vinnie is about to need
her to face her fears. And neither of them knows they're going to
change the other's life forever.
