By: Joe McGowan

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

For the devotee of Irish heritage, mythology or folklore, County Sligo has everything. From the Curlew mountains in the south, where Aodh Ruadh Ó Domhnaill defeated an English army under Sir Conyers Clifford, to Benbulben’s slopes in the north, where St Colmcille battled the High King of Ireland, every hill and valley is linked by the gossamer threads of myth, folklore and legend. These stories, some age-old legends and fantastical myths, some amusing anecdotes and cautionary tales, are a heady mix of the bloodthirsty, funny and passionate and a selection of the best are retold here by professional storyteller Joe McGowan. In these pages you will find little-known anecdotes of the traditional rural ways of Sligo’s residents, their customs and superstitions; you will find stories of epic battles and heroic deeds; and you will also hear the fantastical accounts of mythical creatures, faeries, witches and the ghosts of Connacht itself.

Feeling Tired All the Time – A Comprehensive Guide to the Common Causes of Fatigue and How to Treat Them

Overcome Your Chronic Tiredness

By: Joe Fitzgibbon

Do you ever feel utterly exhausted? Perhaps you feel like falling asleep on your feet right now? If so, you are not alone! One in four people complains of feeling tired all the time, and finds it hard to maintain a normal lifestyle as a result. 'Doctor, I feel tired all the time' is the single most common complaint presented by patients to their doctors. In studies in the UK and the USA, up to twenty per cent of men, and thirty per cent of women identified themselves as having the complaint. Unfortunately, because fatigue is such a common problem and is sometimes caused by psychological factors, the complaint may not be taken seriously and the patient seeking help may be too easily dismissed. Feeling Tired All the Time has been written for the layperson. In it, Dr Fitzgibbon explains the common and treatable causes of fatigue. Using the most up-to-date research and information available, he aims primarily to help people identify the cause of their tiredness, and specifically to help them distinguish between 'ME' (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome) and other possible causes. Dr Fitzgibbon strongly refutes the notion that nothing can be done to help the fatigued. Each section in the book provides checklists which help the reader to recognise the conditions that might apply to them, together with a sensible and practical approach to treatment. The text is generously complemented by real-life case histories taken from the author's personal experience. A directory of support organisations is also included. Feeling Tired All the Time: Table of Contents Introduction SECTION 1. Putting Fatigue in Context - The Complex Problem of Fatigue - Normal Energy Levels SECTION 2. The Most Common Causes of Fatigue I. Psychological and Psychiatric Explanations of Fatigue - Social Attitudes to Psychological Distress - Stress - Depression - Anxiety Panic and Phobia - Hysteria and Hypochondriasis II. Physical Explanations of Fatigue - Fatigue as a Symptom of Physical Disease SECTION 3. Forgotten Causes of Fatigue I.

Fatigue and Diet - Diet, Mood and Energy - Overweight and Obesity - Nutritional Deficiency - Food Allergy and Intolerance - Caffeine - Hypoglycaemia – Low Blood Sugar III.

Going the Distance

The Making of a World-Class Endurance Cyclist

By: Joe Barr

In 2012, Joe Barr almost died from altitude sickness on the 11,000-ft Wolf Creek Pass in a Race Across America attempt. The infamous 3,200-mile race is non-stop ultracycling at its most extreme. In 2014, Joe returned and received the coveted Finisher's medal, and in 2019, at the age of 60, he went back again and won his category. This story of extreme perseverance begins on a yellow Raleigh Chopper on the streets of Co. Derry, where Joe, trying to escape the harsh everyday reality of the Troubles as a young Catholic boy in an all- Protestant school, went on long bicycle rides into the countryside, dreaming of one day taking part in cycling's grand tours. When his baby son was diagnosed with cancer, Joe got on the bike with a different purpose and won his first 1,300-mile endurance race. This is a story of unimaginable grit, and of what it takes to keep going when failure seems inevitable.

British Journey

By: Joe Hayman

Joe Hayman travels across the UK in the wake of the Brexit vote, speaking to Leave and Remain voters about the attitudes and experiences which made them vote the way they did and using those views to explore the political economy of post-referendum Britain. From Sunderland to Belfast, from Aberystwyth to Glasgow, Hayman uses sixteen chapters of interviews and analysis to knit together a picture of a nation where divisions of class, culture and faith bubble dangerously close to the surface. Pulling no punches and refusing to ignore divisions, Hayman’s book explores some of the major fault-lines in British society, from identity, immigration and integration to Britain’s complex relationship with its past, and calls for urgent efforts to build a new political economy for the UK, with a stronger sense of social solidarity, shared identity and common values at its heart. The book is based on conversations with members of the public all around the country and gets deep under the skin of British society, exploring tough attitudes and cultural divisions which can be swept under the carpet no longer.

Ocean Rimmed World

Ocean Rimmed World

By: R.N. Joe D’Cruz

Redolent of the briny air of the sea and the lore of the seashore, Ocean Rimmed World captures the struggles and changing fortunes of the Parathavars of the Tuticorin coast—a community of seafarers and fisherfolk renowned for their courage, relentless toil, and tempestuous nature. Interspersed with this is the story of three fishermen lost at sea with only a log as their means of survival. A gripping novel of breathtaking scale and intricate detail, it is at once a celebration of the myriad faces of the sea and an eloquent tribute to the human spirit that is repeatedly battered but never vanquished. A certain melancholy overlies the innate wisdom and grit of the fisherfolk as they contend with the various changes that threaten to wash over them. The mixed dialects of the Parathavars, the myths they live by, and their deep, abiding love for the sea—their mother—makes this novel a truly memorable read.

With the growing popularity of salt water fly-fishing today, we easily forget that this sport was only begun in the 1930s-1950s. Brooks was one of the earliest pioneers of salt water techniques and salt water flies—both of which still catch fish today. His book, originally published in 1950, remains one of the best overall guides to the sport.

SOG Kontum

Top Secret Missions in Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia, 1968–1969

By: Joe Parnar,Robert Dumont

....[a] powerful sense of sacrifice permeates the book and makes it profound and unique—especially when one considers the void of secrecy in which SOG existed." —Vietnam Magazine The Military Assistance Command, Vietnam Studies and Observations Group (MACV-SOG) was a highly classified, multi-service United States Special Forces unit which conducted covert unconventional warfare operations prior to and during the Vietnam War. The unit conducted strategic reconnaissance missions in South Vietnam, North Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia; carried out the capture of enemy prisoners, rescued downed pilots, and conducted rescue operations to retrieve allied prisoners of war throughout Southeast Asia; and conducted clandestine agent team activities and psychological operations. This book tells the story of the Teams operating out of FOB2 Kontum, near the tri-border area, in 1968–69. From recon missions over the fence to the heroic, and sometimes fatal efforts undertaken to try and rescue missing SOG members, the events are told through the words of the men themselves, supported by previously unreleased official documents.

Lived Economies of Default

Lived Economies of Default

Consumer Credit, Debt Collection and the Capture of Affect

By: Joe Deville

Consumer credit borrowing – using credit cards, store cards and personal loans – is an important and routine part of many of our lives. But what happens when these everyday forms of borrowing go ‘bad’, when people start to default on their loans and when they cannot, or will not, repay? It is this poorly understood, controversial, but central part of both the consumer credit industry and the lived experiences of an increasing number of people that this book explores. Drawing on research from the interior of the debt collections industry, as well as debtors' own accounts and historical research into technologies of lending and collection, it examines precisely how this ever more sophisticated, globally connected market functions. It focuses on the highly intimate techniques used to try and recoup defaulting debts from borrowers, as well as on the collection industry’s relationship with lenders. Joe Deville follows a journey of default, from debtors’ borrowing practices, to the intrusion of collections technologies into their homes and everyday lives, to the collections organisation, to attempts by debtors to seek outside help. In the process he shows how to understand this particular market, we need to understand the central role played within it by emotion and affect. By opening up for scrutiny an area of the economy which is often hidden from view, this book makes a major contribution both to understanding the relationship between emotion and calculation in markets and the role of consumer credit in our societies and economies. This book will be of interest to students, teachers and researchers in a range of fields, including sociology, anthropology, cultural studies, economics and social psychology.

Sea and Smoke

Flavors from the Untamed Pacific Northwest

By: Blaine Wetzel,Joe Ray

Part culinary adventure, part serious cookbook, Sea and Smoke chronicles the plucky ambition of a young chef to establish a world-class dining destination in an unlikely place. A native of the Pacific Northwest, two-time James Beard winning chef Blaine Wetzel saw Lummi Island, a rugged place with fewer than 1,000 residents off the coast of Seattle, as the ideal venue for his unique brand of hyperlocalism. Sea and Smoke is a culinary celebration of what is good, flavorful, and nearby, with recipes like Herring Roe on Kelp with Charred Dandelions and Smoked Mussels creating an intimate relationship between the food and landscape of the Pacific Northwest. The smokehouse, the fisherman, and the farmer yield the ingredients for unforgettable meals at The Willows Inn, a reflection of Wetzel's commitment both to locally-sourced ingredients and the sights, smells, and tastes of the foggy, coastal environment of Lummi Island. Award-winning journalist Joe Ray tells the tale of the Inn's rise to stardom, documenting how all the pieces came together to make a reservation at Wetzel's remote restaurant one of the most sought-after in the world.

The British journalist explores self-healing in wild waters across the UK—from Yorkshire to Jura and Wales—in this “genuine and refreshing nature memoir” (Kirkus Reviews). Following the example of naturalist Roger Deakin in his classic memoir Waterlog, journalist Joe Minihane becomes obsessed with wild swimming and its restorative qualities. Putting one arm over the other, sometimes resting on his back, he begins to confront his personal demons while rekindling old friendships and forging new ones. Through Minihane’s thoughtful description, the act of swimming becomes both strange and beautiful as the wild water puts him in touch with nature and himself. From Hampstead to Yorkshire, from Dorset to Jura, from the Isles of Scilly to Wales, Floating is a love letter to different wild stretches of water. But it also captures Minihane’s struggle to understand his life and move forward. Steeped in the anti-authoritarian and naturalistic spirit of Roger Deakin, Minihane celebrates the joy of taking time out to feel better.
