Open Secrets: An Irish Perspective on Trafficking and Witchcraft
OPEN SECRETS grew out of a practical need to understand the human trafficking and witchcraft encountered during Cois Tine’s work with immigrants in Ireland. It provides a clear description of human trafficking, its causes, processes, effects, and of the violence and greed that lie at its heart.

An Accidental God tells how, through a series of accidents, a person who lived at the dawn of civilization became God. It tells a fictionalized but historically plausible interpretation of the story of the biblical patriarch Abraham, focusing on how coincidental events and human misperceptions lead him to believe a particular ancestor, named Yehhi, is a powerful god. An earthquake shakes the ancient Mesopotamian city of Ur; amid the devastation, Abraham sees that all the family idols have toppled over, all except for the statue of Yehhi, a revered ancestor. He is convinced that Yehhi has shown his power by remaining upright amid the collapse of the other gods, and he believes that this is Yehhi's call for his clan to abandon Ur. Abraham's young nephew Lot is swindled by a wily merchant int...

Masza, a young Jewish woman, is swept up in the terror of the Holocaust. Separated from her family and all she holds dear, she is plunged into a sordid life of imprisonment. Her only comfort is her friendship with a fellow woman prisoner. The spirit of Masza’s mother visits her in dreamlike states, assuring her that they will be reunited soon. Masza learns that the place of her imprisonment is Auschwitz, named after the nearby town of Oswiecim. Before the war Oswiecim was home to a large Jewish community. The word derives from ushpitzin, meaning “guests” in Yiddish and Aramaic. But who are the guests? The soldiers who rape Masza daily? The prophets who were awaited during the festival of Sukkot? Or is Masza merely a guest in her own life? One of the SS officers becomes obsessed wi...

The Jason Voyage: The Quest for the Golden Fleece
Legend or fact? Myth or reality? In the thirteenth century BC, the Greek mythological hero Jason set sail in a galley with a band of Heroes in search of the Golden Fleece. The boat was named Argo, after its builder, and the sailors are known as the Argonauts. But did they exist? And what was the Golden Fleece? Their journey took them from present-day Greece, across the Aegean Sea, through the Dardanelles and the Sea of Marmara, through the much feared Bosphorus into the Black Sea, and then along the entire north coast of Turkey, ending up in the state of Georgia. It was there, in ancient Colchis, that Jason found not only the Golden Fleece but also his bride, Medea, after taming the wild bulls, killing the serpent, and planting its teeth in the soil. Or so the legend has it. Ti...

The despotic rule of Robert Mugabe inspired Ramnarain Subrun to record the societal harmony and successful reconciliation that occurred in Zimbabwe during the 1980s. His anecdotes compare that idyllic life with the harsh realities of Zimbabwe today. When the opportunity to teach in Zimbabwe presented itself in 1983, Ramnarain grabbed it without hesitation, despite unfavourable publicity that was circulating about African nations. ‘Before setting foot in Zimbabwe, I had read many reports about criminals in Africa. One report explained how some Zimbabweans kidnapped and murdered three European tourists in 1982. Initially I held some uncertainty about my adventure, so I trod the African soil with trepidation. However,it proved unnecessary. Within a few weeks I started living a normal life...

Among all the famous Native American Indian chiefs, people today easily recognize names like Geronimo, Sitting Bull, Tecumseh, and Crazy Horse. However, unless you live in North Alabama or Central Tennessee, chances are you’ve never heard of Cherokee Chief Doublehead.

Here is the world's most famous master plan for seizing and holding power. Astonishing in its candor, The Prince even today remains a disturbingly realistic and prophetic work on what it takes to be a prince . . . a king . . . a president.When, in 1512, Machiavelli was removed from his post in his beloved Florence, he resolved to set down a treatise on leadership that was practical, not idealistic. In The Prince he envisioned a ruler unencumbered by ordinary ethical and moral values; his prince would be man and beast, fox and lion. Today, this small sixteenth-century masterpiece has become essential reading for every student of government, and is the ultimate book on power politics....

They Eat Horses, Don't They (Free Preview)
Truth, perhaps, is stranger than fiction... In this short early preview of THEY EAT HORSES, DON'T THEY?, Piu Marie Eatwell explores the background to, and the contemporary evidence for, the idea that the French are voracious eaters of horse meat. We know that the French ate horses in the past, but do they still do so today? The age-old, love-hate relationship between Brits and Frogs has spawned many myths. In recent years our stock of received wisdom about France - land of the sophisticated lover and the wine-fuelled lunch - has been fed by a new generation of myths: notably that French women don’t get fat and that their children don’t throw food. In the complete edition of THEY EAT HORSES, DON'T THEY?, Piu Marie Eatwell explores 45 such myths in entertaining and fascinating detail. ...

Unholy Joy: 50 Years On - A Short History of the Profumo Affair
Named after John Profumo, Secretary of State for War, the Profumo Affair was the biggest British political scandal of 1963. His affair with Christine Keeler, the reputed mistress of an alleged Soviet spy, followed by his lying in the House of Commons when he was questioned about it, forced the resignation of Profumo and damaged the reputation of Prime Minister Harold Macmillan's government. Here, John Lawton explores how the scandal evolved and the effect it had upon the population of an increasingly liberated Britain. This went on to become the basis for a novel. A Little White Death has its roots in the Profumo affair, the correspondences will be apparent to the reader... but the 'buds and leaves' are Lawton's fiction.

Raghu Karnad's "Everybody's Friend" is a poignant pilgrimage to the military grave of a great-uncle, fallen defending the obsolescent Raj against the oncoming army of imperial Japan. The most brutal fighting unfolded on the unforgiving northeast Indian border with Burma, and Karnad takes himself and the reader deep into Nagaland to find the war graves of Imphal. There he broods without heavy reproach but with stoical sorrow on the marginalisation of memory offered to Indian troops who, in the authorised epic of Indian independence, fought on the "wrong" side for their imperial masters while the much thinner ranks of the Indian National Army, Subhash Chandra Bose's fighters, have been accorded the rites and respects of freedom fighters...
