Reclusive Shea Willow has never been able to forget Ian McDowell. One evening spent with the handsome Irishman while on a European tour in college sparked a deep connection that she was unable to forget even when he vanished without a trace. A decade later, Shea, now a successful novelist, travels to Germany to research her new book and is confronted at the airport by the ghost from her past. The moment she sees Ian, the bitterness and resentment she struggled for years to overcome resurface. But, she is forced to set aside those feelings because Ian is in trouble and he needs her help. As a member of Britains MI6, Ian has infiltrated the counterfeit ring responsible for his brothers death. But, things have turned sour, and now Ian is on the run. The agency thinks hes gone rogue, and the ruthless leader of the organization wants him dead. Shea is the only one he can trust. Putting aside the past, the two plunge into a dangerous world of espionage and violence. But as their quest takes a deadly turn, the lines of love and justice begin to blur.
Many of the brothel madams were kind hearted. For instance, Madame Pauline, on hearing of a desperate family in dire straits, provided them a house and a job for the father. In the west, the bawdy house girls filled an obvious need or they wouldn't have survived. Many girls left the trade as soon as they could, usually by marriage. Others became hooked on drugs or committed suicide.
An international all-star cast of thinkers, artists, and policy makers joins forces for a transparent, united, democratic Europe. This 2020 Edition features contributions by Kate Aronoff, Bill McKibben, Evgeny Morozov, Jerome Roos, and more. The European Union was an exceptional achievement. It brought together and in peace peoples speaking different languages and submersed in different cultures, proving that it was possible to create a shared framework of human rights across a continent that was not long ago tormented by murderous chauvinism, racism, and barbarity. It could have been the proverbial Beacon on the Hill, showing the world how peace and solidarity may be snatched from the jaws ...
Rethinking the open city Planners, privatisation, and police surveillance are laying siege to urban public spaces. The streets are becoming ever more regimented as life and character are sapped from our cities. What is to be done? Is it possible to maintain the public realm as a flexible space that adapts over time? Can disorder be designed? Fifty years ago, Richard Sennett wrote his groundbreaking work The Uses of Disorder, arguing that the ideal of a planned and ordered city was flawed, likely to produce a fragile, restrictive urban environment. The need for the Open City, the alternative, is now more urgent that ever. In this provocative essay, Pablo Sendra and Richard Sennett propose a reorganisation of how we think and plan the life of our cities. What the authors call 'infrastructures for disorder' combine architecture, politics, urban planning and activism in order to develop places that nurture rather than stifle, bring together rather than divide, remain open to change rather than rapidly stagnate. Designing Disorder is a radical and transformative manifesto for the future of twenty-first-century cities.

Most people have heard the song: Tis Irish I am and 'tis proud I am of it. But, what does it mean to be Irish? When the Irish first came to Savannah, it meant they were either lace curtain or old fort. Lace curtain inferred that the family was prosperous, usually Protestant, and had come to Savannah with letters of introduction, money, and a plan. Old fort meant that the family had come to America in desperation and to Savannah with little but the clothes on their back, the desire to work, and hope for a better future. Old fort Irish were generally Catholic, attending Catholic schools and depending on the Church for far more than just Sunday worship. Today, the Irish have spread all over Savannah like shamrocks, making these designations a thing of the past. The Irish are involved in every facet of Savannah life, from politics, to business, to education. Catholicism remains the predominant religion and churches abound, as do Catholic schools. When the Season of St. Patrick begins, the Savannah Irish begin celebrating.
