This timely book examines crucial developments in the field of
privacy law, efforts by legal systems to impose their data
protection standards beyond their borders and claims by states to
assert sovereignty over data. By bringing together renowned
international privacy experts from the EU and the US, the book
provides an accurate analysis of key trends and prospects in the
transatlantic context, including spaces of tensions and cooperation
between the EU and the US in the field of data protection law. The
chapters explore recent legal and policy developments both in the
private and law enforcement sectors, including recent rulings by
the Court of Justice of the EU dealing with Google and Facebook,
recent legislative initiatives in the EU and the US such as the
CLOUD Act and the e-evidence proposal, as well as ongoing efforts
to strike a transatlantic deal in the field of data sharing. All of
the topics are thoroughly examined and presented in an accessible
way that will appeal to scholars in the fields of law, political
science and international relations, as well as to a wider and
non-specialist audience. The book is an essential guide to
understanding contemporary challenges to data protection across the
Atlantic.
Beginning. It offers a large enough canvas: the beginning of
wisdom, of love, of learning, of memory; the seed of an idea; the
foundation of a career; the root of a dream; choices made; roads
taken – and not taken; and lessons learned. A Book of Beginnings
explores the theme of commencement through encounters with an array
of intriguing people. Maeve Binchy shares a typically warm and
good-humoured account of a first date. We hear of a profound
life-changing experience from the writer and social philosopher
Charles Handy. Henry Ford’s dream of ‘a motor car for the great
multitude’ and Martin Luther King’s dream of freedom and
justice for his people are pondered as the reader is taken on a
journey of threshold moments that invigorate and inspire.

John Quinn met his wife Olive in Blanchardstown sanatorium. The
shy, young teacher and the confident beauty fell in love - letters
flew between them and diary entries recorded heady times. In June
2001, they went for a trip to Rosslare to celebrate Olive's
recovery from a recent illness. Olive went for a swim in the sea as
John watched fondly from the shore - it was the last time he would
see her alive. Since her death, John has tried to make sense of his
devastating loss by weaving together a selection of letters, some
written during their courtship, some written by John after Olive's
death, diary entries, anecdotes and poems to illuminate his account
of their life together. This book includes John's first book about
Olive, Sea of Love, Sea of Loss, and John's recollections about and
letters to Olive in the ten years since her death.

Moments: in innocent incidents and everday occurrences; in the
words we use; in letters, text messages; in natural phenomena; in
lines of poetry, anecdotes; in chance meetings; in the comings and
goings of everyday life ... Writer and broadcaster John Quinn's new
anthology, Moments, is a personal collection of words, events and
observations that console, cheer, nourish, heal. Moments that are
brief and often fleeting but, once caught and held, offer meaning
to our lives and bear significance in their very simplicity,
opening the door into what Yeats called 'the rag and bone shop of
the heart ...' The 'moments' contained within are drawn from John's
personal and professional life and, as a collection, they offer the
reader opportunities to pause and reflect - little oases in our
busy modern lives.
To commemorate the centenary of Francis Ledwidge's death in the
Battle of Passchendaele, John Quinn has compiled a selection of
writings, both by Ledwidge and those closest to him. These poems,
diary entries and letters follow Ledwidge's life from budding poet
in County Meath to soldier facing the horrors of the battle on the
western front. We discover, through Ledwidge's colourful verse, his
reactions to the world around him, life as an Irish soldier in the
British Army during the First World War, and his response to the
execution of close friend Thomas McDonagh in the Easter Rising of
1916. Featuring an assessment by Seamus Heaney, this book will make
a fine addition to any poetry and history lover's collection.
When I go out on these frosty nights and see the pattern of the
stars across the sky I ask myself how did all that happen. Micheal
O Muircheartaigh When I sit down now to pray it's more of a
conversation. If you meet someone you know fairly well, you are
hardly going to be sing-songing a set number of words at him. Alice
Taylor In 2013, former RTE broadcaster John Quinn travelled around
Ireland to meet a range of well-known personalities. He asked them
questions about the God they believe in and why they believe; the
origins of their belief; doubts they have encountered dealing with
mystery; how central belief is to their life and work; prayer-life;
the afterlife; faith mentors and much more. The answers he received
were spontaneous, honest and rich in diversity. A fascinating
insight into belief and its practice, Credo includes contributions
from former Meath football manager Sean Boylan, Benedictine nun and
international leader for peace and justice Joan Chittister, actor
Frank Kelly, politician David Norris, writer Alice Taylor, GAA
commentator Micheal O Muircheartaigh and many more.
John Quinn presents a comprehensive selection of entertaining,
thought-provoking and insightful programmes taken from many of his
RTE radio series, spanning a twenty-five-year period. Writers,
philosophers, entertainers, educationists, activists, politicians,
business people, John has interviewed some of the most interesting
personalities. Seamus Heaney, Spike Milligan, Maeve Binchy, Peter
Ustinov, Bernadette Greevy and many, many others have offered up
personal anecdotes in conversation with John, with a plethora of
topics ranging from childhood, to education, to economics, to place
and landscape. Also included are excerpts from a number of
documentaries on topics ranging from Eskimoes to All-Ireland Final
Day. Every short essay a perfect story in itself, this surely is a
gem of a book.
