Musings of S.M.
S.M.-Siobhan Murphy was brought up in a loving family environment by her parents-Peter and Molly. She realized her childhood dream of becoming a doctor having graduated from McKenna Medical College. Her romance with Patrick Piasso culminated in her marriage with him. Soon after, she faced a daunting task of balancing her professional endeavors with her family life. Patrick found it difficult to resist the overtures of another attractive woman during this turbulent period in their young married life. With each patient encounter, Siobhan learned the lessons of actual art of practicing medicine which she could never have acquired in the class rooms of her medical school. She realized that 'one-size-fits-all' approach did not work when she was confronting patients with different background and diverse mental make-up. She would have to modify her healing potion depending on each individual patient's preferences and prejudices. With every interaction, she strove to become a better physician. Then one day, she got news of advanced cancer of Molly. Did she fall apart? "MUSINGS OF S.M." describes her struggle to handle this devastating blow which befell her soon after Patrick has left her.
Notes for the Next Time
Addled mother-of-three finds her identity buried under layers of clutter in her unkempt home. Dealing with the unrelenting demands of children, the ever-growing pile of laundry, dishes and post, she finds herself having to admit she's no longer able to cope. Enter her very own 'listening angel' - a supposed good Samaritan from the local charity set up to give support to 'Mums' under pressure. So why can't she get a word in edgeways? And why is her husband's mood suddenly so elevated - when a certain angel is hovering nearby? Thus unfolds a dark and hilarious journey into the wilds of suburbia, where unforgettable characters dwell and the unexpected is never far away. Told through diary-style musings, Notes for the Next Time explores the murky depths beneath the smooth surface of life in a hilarious, surprising and genuinely moving read. And what looks to be the final nail in the coffin of our mum-on-the-edge's ebbing sanity may actually provide the much-needed catalyst for change.
Critical Discourse Analysis
This book provides a comprehensive account of the discipline of Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) and demonstrates multiple linguistic methods through which it exposes and demystifies ideologies that are present in institutional discourse. The book enables readers to critique the complexities of the relationship between language and power to expose the ideological operation of discourse. Proceeding from a theoretical grounding for CDA in contemporary society, the book comprises analysis of a wide range of discourse examples, including the news media, political speeches, public service leaflets and social media. Readers are guided through a diverse range of models in CDA in order to scrutinise and assess the role of language in society and to consider and challenge the principles of powerful networks, institutions and organisations.
