Running to Stand Still
A work of enduring love and self-reflection, this autobiography follows a troubled Irishman and his lifelong battle with inner demons. After a life of violence--including a warring family in his youth, enrollment in the Irish Republican Army, stints in prison, and spousal abuse--the author is finally forced to recognize these patterns of aggression and reevaluate his life. Aided by his loyal and loving wife, the author tells the story of his recovery and redemption through the discovery of the roots of his violence and provocation.
Crystal Conclave - Back Issues 1+2 of the Crystal Conclave Magazine
The Crystal Conclave was an experimental project in the form of a magazine, published in 2006 and 2007 in South Africa (Mid-Rand), receiving contributions from a number of innovative and interesting writers and poets. One of the principle aims of the Crystal Conclave was to make a contribution to healing South Africa; on an economic, spiritual, psychological and medical level. Although the magazine's primary purpose was to promote the New Thought movement in Africa, the project also attracted a number of writers and poets from the Mainstream.
The 1916 Proclamation: Ireland and the Easter Rising of 1916
On Easter Monday, 24 April 1916, the tricolour flag was hoisted over the General Post Office. Shortly after noon Padraig Pearse, standing beneath the high portico, read the Proclamation publicly proclaiming Ireland a republic and a sovereign independent state. John O'Connor recounts the birth of this historic document which was to become one of the cornerstones of the new state. Why was it necessary? Who wrote it? Who secretly printed it and where? How was it distributed? How many exist? How would you know an authentic print? 'The Proclamation of the Irish Republic has been adduced in evidence against me as one of the signatories; you think it is already a dead and buried letter, but it lives, it lives.

The Sten Gun
The Sten submachine gun – officially the 'Carbine, Machine, Sten' – was developed to fulfill the pressing British need for large quantities of cheaply produced weapons after Dunkirk, when German invasion was a very real possibility. Over four million were built during World War II, and the Sten was widely used by airborne troops, tankers, and others who needed a compact weapon with substantial firepower. It proved especially popular with Resistance fighters as it was easy to conceal, deadly at close range, and could fire captured German ammunition – with a design so simple that Resistance fighters were able to produce them in bicycle shops. Featuring vivid first-hand accounts, specially commissioned full-colour artwork and close-up photographs, this is the fascinating story of the mass-produced submachine gun that provided Allied soldiers and Resistance fighters with devastating close-range firepower.
