Elegance in Science
The idea of elegance in science is not necessarily a familiar one, but it is an important one. The use of the term is perhaps most clear-cut in mathematics - the elegant proof - and this is where Ian Glynn begins his exploration. Scientists often share a sense of admiration and excitement on hearing of an elegant solution to a problem, an elegant theory, or an elegant experiment. The idea of elegance may seem strange in a field of endeavour that prides itself in its objectivity, but only if science is regarded as a dull, dry activity of counting and measuring.

Refolding the Calyx
Is this our fate for a periodic shaking of the mat, to stir the dust and see where it settles? Only to draw a line in the dust and start anew? Set in the near future, the climate is increasingly erratic, causing mass upheaval. Morgana travels from her secluded farm to the prison where her grandson is incarcerated. Was it just old age, this emotional turmoil, inducing her to want to help, even fix, Evander? Was her mission to help him or help her? Mylo and Amaya’s island-life is thrown into turmoil, and they must wrangle over the possibilities of a future for their family. Lilith and Maxen’s careers in media are exposed. They need stories. Refolding the Calyx is a tale of finding connection and one another in the uncertainty. Their journeys take them to the floating village, a staging point, between the islands and the mainland. Within the confines of the isolated village clinging to an atoll, stories unfold where they must break with the patterns of the past. As stories are revealed, walls, carefully constructed, come tumbling down. Choices become limited. Refolding the Calyx is a story about stories: those we tell ourselves, those given and those we leave unspoken.

Winterland
The worlds of business, politics and crime collide in contemporary Dublin when two men with the same name, from the same family, die on the same night - one death is a gangland murder, the other, apparently, a road accident. Was it a coincidence? That's the official version of events. But when a family member, Gina Rafferty, starts asking questions, this notion quickly unravels. Devastated by her loss, Gina's grief is tempered, and increasingly fuelled, by anger - because the more she hears that it was all a coincidence, that gangland violence is commonplace, that people die on our roads every day of the week, the less she's prepared to accept it. Told repeatedly that she should stop asking questions, Gina becomes more determined than ever to find out the truth, to establish a connection between the two deaths - but in doing so she embarks on a path that will push certain powerful people to their limits...
