Saint and Sinner
Alex Murphy has always been hard to ignore - in a glittering rugby league career spanning four decades, fame and controversy have always been present. Murphy's row with Wigan chairman and one-time friend Maurice Lindsay, when he was accused of trying to strangle him with his own telephone cord; the time Syd Hines headbutted him at Wembley, believing Murphy had deliberately taken a dive to get him sent off; his two tours, including the 1958 Battle of Brisbane, and how he spat the dummy, costing himself a third tour... All this and more are given the unique Murphy treatment in this no-holds-barred autobiography.
First Love
Being a fiercely determined young lady who has always taken care of herself, Billie Jo was extremely surprised to find herself the victim of target practice for this insanely arrogant, completely revolting individual, who is obviously somewhat removed from reality if his current actions are any indication. Never in a million years would she have believed she would have let her guard down long enough to find herself here in this place with this person, fighting for her life, but unable to speak at all due to the duct tape and the gag he’d stuffed into her mouth. He’d already kicked her so hard, so many times, she was sure she’d lost the baby. Alex would never forgive her for allowing this man to kill their child. She prayed he would finish the job and end her suffering, but she knew in her heart that he wanted her to suffer further. After all, she hadn’t chosen him. In fact, she was completely repelled by him, always had been.
Irish Stereotype in American Cinema
Discussing the role of violence in the Irish stereotype, this book is a fascinating story of the changing perception of the Irish in America as told by American cinema. From Levi and Cohen, Irish Comedians (1903) to The Irishman (2019), some of the productions analyzed here are timeless classics; others have almost been forgotten. What they have in common is the presence of violence as the key ingredient in the construction of Irish characters. In his insightful study, Piotr Szczypa employs imagological perspective to investigate the evolution of their portrayal in American films, showing not only how the Irish have adjusted to America but also how America has embraced Irishness.
Marriage of Minds
Oscar Skelton (1878-1941) was a prominent early-twentieth century scholar who became a civil servant and political advisor to prime ministers Mackenzie King and R.B. Bennett. He wrote a number of important books and one, Socialism: A Critical Analysis, was highly praised by Vladimir Lenin. His wife, Isabel Skelton (1877-1956), wrote extensively about literature and history; she was the first historian to treat women from the country's past individually in their own right rather than as a generalized category. Both husband and wife promoted the idea that Canada was an independent nation that no longer needed Britain's tutelage. Terry Crowley has written a unique double biography that examines...
The Ten Worst People in New York
Perfect for fans of The Collective and We Begin at the End, this psychological thriller will make you question the nature of justice… and revenge. The ten worst people in New York are dying, one after the other. A late-night TV chat show feature, The Ten Worst People in New York, is the talk of the town.

But Alex and Jacob are on a collision course, and when Jacob becomes a suspect, the two find themselves in a race to unravel the mystery before even more people die. Both Alex and Jacob must confront their worst fears and put their lives on the line as they try to find the answer to two key questions: Why are the killers targeting the ten worst list? And who will be next to die?
Values at the End of Life
This insightful study examines the deeply personal and heart-wrenching tensions among financial considerations, emotional attachments, and moral arguments that motivate end-of-life decisions. America’s health care system was built on the principle that life should be prolonged whenever possible, regardless of the costs. This commitment has often meant that patients spend their last days suffering from heroic interventions that extend their life by only weeks or months. Increasingly, this approach to end-of-life care is coming under scrutiny, from a moral as well as a financial perspective. Sociologist Roi Livne documents the rise and effectiveness of hospice and palliative care, and growin...
SCARY ROBOTS
Technophobia causes us to reflect, to stop and ask “what for?” Why are we doing this and could there be negative consequences to our actions. Technophobia is not anti-technology if we are honest no one is really anti-technology that would be a rejection of life itself. But neither does technophobia give the green light to all things technical. An altogether too common position these days is to accept technology as manna from heaven as if just the very use of it will inherently lead us in the right direction. All use is good use. Technophobia does not allow us such an easy conscience.
