Patrick Reginald Chalmers (1872-1942) was an Irish writer and banker.. His work covered many different areas, including horse racing, hunting, and field sports. Although he is not often credited with it, Chalmers coined the phrase "Roundabouts and Swings," which has become a common phrase in the English language. His most notable works include: "Green Days and Blue Days" (1912) and "A Peck of Malt (1915)." "Pancakes" is a charming and moving poem that is not to be missed by fans of Chalmers work and poetry lovers in general. Contents include: "The Return," "The Little Young Lambs," "The Undefeated Dryad," "Nausicaa Speaks," "Fancy Dress," "Chiron," "Pott or Pan," "The White Boy," "Hyacinthus," "Helen," "The Idle Shepherdess," "The Sandals," "Pegasus," "A Fallen Star," and "The Faun." Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern edition complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.
With riots and demonstrations on the streets and protest camps in dozens of cities around the world, political systems everywhere are in the spotlight. For Western representative democracies, that means people waking up to the illusion of influence in occasional votes versus their lack of any real power. They are finding how money acts via corporations, financial markets and a minority elite to occupy the vacuum. Fraudcast News, the confessions of an ex-Reuters reporter, dissects media's failure to highlight people's powerlessness. It shows how journalism, far from acting as a popular watchdog, suffers just the same problems of capture as governments themselves. Yet this book is a work of optimism and promise. Its conclusions lay out how ordinary citizens can revolutionise their democracies by revolutionising journalism, building from the grassroots upwards.
