Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Living with Murder also provides readers with an in-depth analysis of murder from a Forensic Psychology perspective. Where does the urge to kill come from? Is it genetic, hormonal, biological, or cultural conditioning? Do killers, rapists, kidnappers and predators have any control over their desires? What sets them apart? The author has spoken to the families of: � Anthony Campbell - an innocent plumber who was killed for being in the wrong place at the wrong time. � Donna Cleary, a mother of one, killed by a gang refused entry to a house party. � Edward Ward, an innocent victim of a gangland hit on Brian Downes. � Jeffrey Hannan, killed with a blunt weapon in Limerick, seemingly without motive. � Emer O'Loughlin, burned to death in a caravan in Co Clare � Sheola Keeney, strangled by her boyfriend � Adrian Dunne, who killed his family and himself in Wexford. � Brian Stack, the only prison officer ever assassinated in the Republic of Ireland.

Stolen: Escape from Syria

By: Louise Monaghan,Yvonne Kinsella

In the vein of Not Without My Daughter, Stolen: Escape from Syria is a memoir recounting a mother's crusade to rescue her kidnapped daughter from her abusive ex-husband during the tumultuous days of the Arab Spring In the middle of one of the worst civil wars in Syria's history, Louise Monaghan walked across a heavily guarded border to save her six-year-old child from the father who had callously snatched her from her home in Cyprus. Fearing for her daughter's future under the oppressive Sharia law, the Irish mother returned to her ex-husband, Mostafa Assad, to bide her time until she could escape with her daughter. Once in his homeland, she too was held captive, locked inside a run-down house with little food and no hope of deliverance. Severely beaten by Mostafa —she was even left unconscious on the ground in front of their child—she and her little girl miraculously escaped. This suspenseful account will pull at your heartstrings, enveloping you in harrowing events that no mother would dare imagine and culminating with the triumphal feats this mother achieved. Smuggled across a heavily patrolled mountain range in the dead of night through bomb attacks and sniper fire, Monaghan and her daughter speak to the transcendent bond between mother and child.

Ted Hughes: Environmentalist and Ecopoet

By: Yvonne Reddick

This book is the first book devoted entirely to Hughes as an environmental activist and writer. Drawing on the rapidly-growing interest in poetry and the environment, the book deploys insights from ecopoetics, ecocriticism and Anthropocene studies to analyse how Hughes’s poetry reflects his environmental awareness. Hughes’s understanding of environmental issues is placed within the context of twentieth-century developments in ‘green’ ideology and politics, challenging earlier scholars who have seen his work as apolitical. The unique strengths of this book lie in its combination of cutting-edge insights on ecocriticism with extensive work on the British Library’s new Ted Hughes archive. It will appeal to readers who enjoy Hughes’s work, as well as students and academics.

Anthropocene Poetry

Place, Environment, and Planet

By: Yvonne Reddick

Anthropocene Poetry: Place, Environment and Planet argues that the idea of the Anthropocene is inspiring new possibilities for poetry. It can also change the way we read and interpret poems. If environmental poetry was once viewed as linked to place, this book shows how poets are now grappling with environmental issues from the local to the planetary: climate change and the extinction crisis, nuclear weapons and waste, plastic pollution and the petroleum industry. This book intervenes in debates about culture and science, traditional poetic form and experimental ecopoetics, to show how poets are collaborating with environmental scientists and joining environmental activist movements to respond to this time of crisis. From the canonical work of Ted Hughes and Seamus Heaney, to award-winning poets Alice Oswald, Pascale Petit, Kei Miller, and Karen McCarthy Woolf, this book explores major figures from the past alongside acclaimed contemporary voices. It reveals Seamus Heaney’s support for conservation causes and Ted Hughes’s astonishingly forward-thinking research on climate change; it discusses how Pascale Petit has given poetry to Extinction Rebellion and how Karen McCarthy Woolf set sail with scientists to write about plastic pollution. This book deploys research on five poetry archives in the UK, USA and Ireland, and the author’s insider insights into the commissioning processes and collaborative methods that shaped important contemporary poetry publications. Anthropocene Poetry finds that environmental poetry is flourishing in the face of ecological devastation. Such poetry speaks of the anxieties and dilemmas of our age, and searches for paths towards resilience and resistance.

Jeneba’s Gift

By: Leslie Yvonne Gage

Jeneba’s gift is the story of an orphan who ran away from her devilish aunt and changed her name. She was rescued by a Muslim alhaji who had to convert to Christianity in order to bring the child up in the Christian faith. Jeneba’s life is affected by the experiences of those she meets, and she also touches other people’s lives by her clairvoyance and her quick understanding. Though ignorant of her inborn gifts, she learns quickly to make good use of them, and through the influence of a Pentecostal couple and their grandson, she gets introduced to the world of spiritual gifts. With her gifts and the combined efforts of both heavenly and earthly angels as well as people, she ends up saving Freetown from an evil spiritual plot by the demon Duro left by her great-grandfather as an occult heritage.

Conspiring with the Enemy

The Ethic of Cooperation in Warfare

By: Yvonne Chiu

Conspiring with the Enemy

The Ethic of Cooperation in Warfare

By: Yvonne Chiu

Despite the strong influence of just war theory in military law and practice, warfare is commonly considered devoid of morality. Yet even in the most horrific of human activities, there is frequent communication and cooperation between enemies. One remarkable example is the Christmas truce—unofficial ceasefires between German and English trenches in December 1914 in which soldiers even mingled in No Man’s Land. In Conspiring with the Enemy, Yvonne Chiu offers a new understanding of why and how enemies work together to constrain violence in warfare. Chiu argues that what she calls an ethic of cooperation is found in modern warfare to such an extent that it is often taken for granted. The importance of cooperation becomes especially clear when wartime ethics reach a gray area: To whom should the laws of war apply? Who qualifies as a combatant? Should guerrillas or terrorists receive protections? Fundamentally, Chiu shows, the norms of war rely on consensus on the existence and content of the laws of war. In a wide-ranging consideration of pivotal instances of cooperation, Chiu examines weapons bans, treatment of prisoners of war, and the Geneva Conventions, as well as the tensions between the ethic of cooperation and the pillars of just war theory. An original exploration of a crucial but overlooked phenomenon, Conspiring with the Enemy is a significant contribution to military ethics and political philosophy.

Attached to the World

On the Anchoring and Strategy of Dutch Foreign Policy

By: Gera Arts,Yvonne Kleistra,Martijn Klem,Marijke Rem

Few other countries are so interrelated with the World around us in political, economic, and social respects as the Netherlands. This means that the Dutch government needs to be alert in its response to the risks and opportunities presented by a rapidly changing world. Addressing this issue, The Scientific Council for Government Policy (WRR) is offering some reflections in this report, guided by the question how the Netherlands can develop a foreign policy strategy that matches the changing power relations in the world and the radically changed character of international relations. The answer.

Witness to Evil

My Father's Murder. My Mother's Guilt. My Struggle for Justice in a House of Tyranny

By: Veronica Mcgrath,Yvonne Kinsella

It was six long years before I alerted the authorities to what had happened. During that time, I lived each day in fear of my mother, and of what would happen if I told. I became a shadow of my former self...my mental health suffered so badly that I even lost my own children. The day I told the truth was the second most frightening day of my life. But I did it. This is my story.' Witness to Evil tells the story of how an innocent young girl had her life turned upside down by a tyrannical and abusive mother, who planned and executed the murder of her husband without emotion and with no regrets. Here Veronica McGrath speaks out for the first time about growing up in the home run under the strict control of Vera McGrath, and about the horrendous night when she witnessed the brutal killing of her father by her mother and her own fianc Colin Pinder. She tells of how her mother made her swear never to reveal the dark family secret, threatening to sign her into a psychiatric unit if she even thought of alerting the police. Veronica also describes her life with her beloved dad, Bernard, whose loss in her life was the end of the only stability she knew. And she gives a detailed account of the court case in 2010, where she was chief prosecution witness, that led to her mother being sentenced to life imprisonment for murder, and her former partner being convicted of manslaughter. Witness to Evil is Veronica's brave account of a fraught yet extraordinary personal journey and a hard-won fight to win justice for her father.

Confessions

The Secret Life of a Lapdancer

By: Billiegean,Yvonne Kinsella

`I`ve been called a slapper, a freak and a bimbo. But there`s more to me than that. Yes, I`ve had threesomes, snorted coke, and made having fun my priority, but I`ve also suffered for my lifestyle and seen my life fall apart around me. Do I regret it? Well...yes and no. `I`ve done things that I`m not proud of, but I can`t apologise for everything. This is my journey. Every step I`ve taken has led me towards the person I was destined to become. For better or for worse, I am a lap dancer. I`ve done it all - I`ve lived the high life and partied with celebrities. I`ve performed lesbian acts for clients and had threesomes simply because I was curious. I`ve snorted so much cocaine that I thought my nose would fall off. `But more than that, somewhere along my journey, I lost a little bit of myself. It happened so gradually that I didn`t notice. It was only when I started to reflect a little, when i started to write this story, that I could see me for who I was; who I am. It`s all here - the good times, the bad times and the downright ugly times. This is my story; these are my confessions.`
