Talking to the Dead

A Study of Irish Funerary Traditions

By: Nina Witoszek,Pat Sheeran

Talking to the Dead is an essay on death and its tenacious hold on Irish culture. There are few traditions in which funerary motifs have been so ubiquitous in literature, popular rituals, folk representations, public rhetorics, even constructions of place. There are even fewer cultures in which funerary genres and preoccupations constitute the central thread of continuity. The Irish Theatrum Mortis is not simply an obsession of writers from the bards to Beckett and Heaney. Nor is it confined to contemporary Republican iconography. It is to be found in the pages of the local press, in acts of ritual resistance to unpopular decisions, in the way in which significant public events are narrated and framed. Though the funerary Ireland presented here may well yield to the new, positive self-image of the Celtic Tiger, it is the authors' contention that at the end of the twentieth century the funerary sign continues to define Irish identity. For good and ill, it is the centre that holds.

What Were You Arguing About Along the Way?

Gospel Reflections for Advent, Christmas, Lent and Easter

By: Pat Bennett

Approaching conflict in its various forms - personal, social, global - through the lens of the gospels, conflict, it explores the conflicted nature of Jesus’ world and how people navigated routes through it. It enables the scriptures to speak to the conflicts in our lives and reveals how they can have positive as well as negative outcomes. This volume of collected material focuses on the beginning and the end of Jesus’ human life and covers the gospels for Advent, Christmas. Lent, Holy Week and Easter.

Environmental Literacy and New Digital Audiences

By: Pat Brereton

Environmental literacy and education is not simply a top-down process of disseminating correct attitudes, values and beliefs. Rather, it is one that incorporates and facilitates a dialogue with audiences of different persuasions and at all levels of engagement, to help highlight and co-produce consensual solutions to the major eco-challenges of our time. Exploring the growing power and influence of media formats and outlets like YouTube and gaming, alongside fictional and documentary film, this book considers new modes of environmental literacy to ascertain the effectiveness of digital and filmic stimuli on an audience’s perception of environmental issues, and its specific impact on environmental action. Drawing on extensive research across a broad range of media formats, Brereton establishes how environmental narratives and meanings are created and being received by contemporary audiences. This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of environmental communication and media, eco-criticism and environmental humanities more broadly.

A Journey

By: Mary Pat Kelly

In time for Scorsese’s 80th birthday and the release of Killers of the Flower Moon, a new edition of the seminal oral history tracing Scorsese’s journey from young filmmaker to legend, featuring a foreword by Steven Spielberg Few filmmakers, if any, make the kind of impact that Martin Scorsese has made on American cinema. The winner of every prestigious film award, including the Oscar, Scorsese is a living legend. Bestselling author and award-winning filmmaker Mary Pat Kelly’s groundbreaking biography reveals how this working-class boy from Manhattan’s Little Italy became one of our most acclaimed, celebrated, and influential filmmakers. Martin Scorsese: A Journey maps Scorsese’s personal and artistic evolution though his films, from early works like student films and Mean Streets through cinematic masterpieces like Taxi Driver, Raging Bull,The King of Comedy,Goodfellas. Across interviews with Scorsese himself; stars like Robert De Niro, Paul Newman, Liza Minelli, and Nick Nolte; colleagues including screenwriters and cinematographers; as well as family and friends, it reveals the story of a man in a way that only his community and fellow artists can, giving us unprecedented, intimate access to the making of these iconic films and the extraordinary mind behind them. Brimming with insight into Scorsese’s life, values, process, humor, and inspirations, it is a remarkable account of America’s premiere director, the shepherd of countless imaginations.

101 Reasons Why Cork is Better than Dublin

By: Pat Fitzpatrick

It's time for a new take on the Cork vs Dublin rivalry. Cork is more kefir cocktails than Tanora these days; Dublin reckons it's like Berlin because it has two intersecting tram lines. This book takes a 21st century look at the two places, asking who's got the better statues, food, airport, characters, pubs, views and more, answering Cork every time. The second city gets a bit of a roasting too though. Because if there's one thing worse than a Dub, it's a Cork person who reckons he lives in paradise, boy.

Take My Hand

How to be hopeful in a time of grief

By: Kerry Fisher,Pat Sowa

‘Everyone should read it… it may just save a life.’ Susan Elliot Wright, bestselling author of The Things We Never Said Friends for over thirty years, Kerry and Pat’s worlds came crashing down when their teenage sons were both diagnosed with life-threatening illnesses within weeks of each other. They quickly discovered that there was no handbook on coping when your child is seriously ill but took solace in their friendship – texting at all hours and finding glimmers of dark humour on difficult days. Together these two ordinary mothers found a way to navigate their new normal and wanted to share what they’d learnt. With heartfelt honesty, they offer practical, sanity-saving strategies that allow you to keep putting one foot in front of the other when your family is in crisis, including how to: - Tame raging mother guilt. It’s often the elephant in the room. Could I have prevented this happening? Is it all my fault? Kerry and Pat share all the reasons why you shouldn’t blame yourself. - Ask for what you need from the people who want to help but don’t know how – forget the flowers but please fix the hoover, walk the dog and pick my other child up from school. Knowing someone else is dealing with everyday chores is a great comfort when you’re already spread too thinly. - Look after yourself (even when you don’t care about yourself). When keeping someone you love alive consumes every scrap of energy, looking after yourself is at the bottom of the priority list. But serious illness can quickly deplete everyone’s resources: Kerry and Pat list all the ways they found to replenish their energy. - Be hopeful in the aftershock of tragedy. Kerry and Pat show you how to move forwards alongside the grief, and still take the joy where you find it rather than waiting for the grief ‘to be over’ to start living again. Like a wise companion offering comfort and hope, Take My Hand is a lifeline both to those overwhelmed by heartbreak and for friends and family who don’t know how to help. Most of all, it’s a powerful reminder that no matter how difficult life gets, you are not alone. Take My Hand is helping so many people: ‘Took my breath away.’ Julia Saunders ‘Had me crying from the outset.’ Maxine Walton ‘I absolutely loved this book. It was so honest, raw, and moving… I urge anyone suffering loss to pick this up.’ Goodreads Reviewer, 5 stars ‘This book had me in tears multiple times…both heartrending and uplifting…’ Sean’s Book Reviews, 5 stars ‘I loved this memoir so much… heart-breaking, honest, inspiring.’ Goodreads Reviewer, 5 stars ‘Heart-breaking and uplifting in equal measure… It made me want to hold my family tightly… this book will give you a perspective and understanding that I think everyone should have.’ Emma Boughton ‘Knowing that I am not the only parent to be facing the difficulties of caring for a child with mental health issues has made such a difference to my personal journey.’ Goodreads Reviewer, 5 stars ‘An absolute must read… heart-breaking and equally heart-warming.’ NetGalley Reviewer, 5 stars ‘A gripping and heart-wrenching read.’ Gill Paul ‘One of the best books I have ever read about the experience of a family member with mental illness and with cancer.’ Dr Jayne Puttman ‘Generous and brave… a book for anyone who has a friend or family member going through something like this.’ Susan Lynes ‘I also have experienced loss to mental illness in my childhood and took much healing from Pat’s compassion and sharing of her grief… I read your book in one sitting.’ Reader Review 'Should be given to everyone as part of a manual for life.’ Beth Miller ‘This book is amazing!!!’ Carole Valente, Support Worker in a children's cancer unit ‘Brave, heartfelt and moving.’ Chat ‘A must-read… filled with helpful advice, quotes, tips and an in-depth understanding of what support was useful.’ Goodreads Reviewer, 5 stars

On the Blanket

The H-Block Story

By: Tim Pat Coogan

The H Block protest is one of the strangest and most controversial issues in the tragic history of Northern Ireland. Republican prisoners, convicted of grave crimes through special courts and ruthless interrogation procedures, campaigned for political status by refusing to wear prison clothes and daubing their cell with excrement. Were they properly convicted criminals, or martyrs to political injustice? In this masterpiece of investigative journalism, Coogan provides us with the only first-hand account of the protest. His investigation led deep into the social, cultural, and economic maze of Northern Ireland's history to give readers an unmatched analysis of a troubled place and its sorrowful history.
