Four Night Seas
Set across liminal landscapes, this collection of fourteen stories from award-winning author Niamh Mac Cabe feature characters navigating emotional or existential thresholds—grieving, seeking meaning, or reconciling with the past. Whether it is a reclusive sculptor haunted by guilt, a lost child drawing maps in the sand, or a greyhound silently shadowing a man to a mountain lake, Mac Cabe’s lyrical prose and inventive narrative structures evoke an eerie, tender intimacy. Rich and atmospheric, exploring themes of memory, solitude, loss, and the mysterious rhythms of nature and human connection, this collection blurs the line between the internal and external world, and invites us into spaces of beauty, melancholy and subtle transformation. Four Night Seas marks the arrival of a vital new voice in Irish writing.
Wilderness of Mirrors
To satisfy his father's request that he rescue his drifting cousin, Emil - a young Creole from a wealthy background - sets aside his medical studies to move in with his working-class relatives in the unfamiliar city of Stadmutter - the mother city. Among his indifferent kin Emil is first disquieted by days of aimlessness and then diverted by his sexual and intellectual encounters with Bolling, a rich, Haitian-German autodidact with preternatural charisma. Emil begins an ambiguous relationship with Tamsin, a graduate student obsessed with Sigmund Freud's theories and with her place in a society marked by shifting cultural hierarchies.. Beneath its veneer of indolence, Stadmutter seethes. Through his relationships with Bolling and Tamsin, Emil is pulled into the orbit of Braeem Shaka - the leader of a Creole movement that is threatening the country's fragile racial progress with its demands for reparations - and ever further from the possibility of a return to his earlier life as a promising neurosurgeon.
Master and Cartographer
‘Fascinating and elegantly written, Master & Cartographer introduces a largely forgotten naval hero of Stuart England’ – N.A.M. Rodger, author of The Safeguard of the Sea, The Command of the Ocean and The Price of VictoryThis is a book about maps and map-making, about power and class, and about war, seamanship and navigation. It is a study of wealth, patronage and money, in an England riven by religious disorder and toxic politics. Greenvile Collins (1643–94) was a naval warrant officer who caught the attention of a King. His seagoing career took him from Patagonia to the Arctic, into battles against Dutch men of war and Barbary corsairs, and to the slave markets and Silk Road ports of the Mediterranean. A scientific navigator, his professional drive drew him to Shetland, the Scilly Isles and all points in between, as he undertook the most ambitious hydrographic survey of the British coastline yet attempted. Then, even as he laboured to complete his monumental sea atlas, he was summoned yet again to the service of the Crown. The Glorious Revolution was a campaign of crisis for a deeply conflicted Royal Navy, and a crucial test of loyalty for Greenvile Collins and his fellow officers. ‘Greenvile Collins emerges as a sympathetic hero, who served three kings while compiling invaluable charts and navigational data for his fellow sailors. Not since Patrick O’Brian’s Aubrey-Maturin novels have I enjoyed such rollicking armchair adventures at sea’ – Dava Sobel, author of Longitude

Offering yoga and mindfulness practices tailored to different presentations of autistic traits, this guide allows yoga therapists to provide the safe, empowering and empathetic support that their autistic clients deserve. With this multi-dimensional approach, yoga therapists will be well equipped to begin collaborating with their adult autistic clients.

The Unsinkable Titanic
In this unparalleled investigation that deconstructs the modern hindsight that has tainted Titanic’s legacy, Allen Gibson presents a comprehensive history with a refreshing argument, that Titanic represented a considerable achievement in maritime architecture. Telling the story of the ‘unsinkable’ ship against a backdrop of a tumultuous and rapidly emerging technological world, he exposes the people and the circumstances that contributed to the disaster, and the blame that went on in its aftermath.

But they realise they may be out of their depth when Emma wins the contract to empty a noted local mansion, only to discover it operated for years as a high-end bordello. Will her sale of the contents reveal the secrets of half the tow? his charming tale of love and licentiousness behind a respectable façade is another pitch-perfect comedy from the author of Ms. Demeanor.
My Father and the Silver King
Ambrose Erswell ran away from home in London’s East End when he was seven years old, lived on the streets and joined a gang of child pickpockets. At nine he signed on as a “ship’s boy” on a clipper ship sailing to South America — an experience so grim he vowed never to go to sea again. In a bicycle shop, where he found a job, he saw his first automobile. It was the beginning of a lifelong passion for cars. By twelve years of age he’d become a chauffeur. When he saw The Silver King, a melodrama in which the wronged hero is redeemed after making a fortune in a silvermine in South America, he decided that his life must follow a similar trajectory. Like the hero of the play, this cockney lad, who would eventually (in his mid-fifties) become the author’s father, left England and made a fortune in an unlikely business in Australia. The author traces her attraction to the music of the Piraeus underworld and the men who sang the rembetika to her father and to the Music Hall songs she was raised on.

Unity through Particularism
Why do supposedly accountability-enhancing electoral reforms often fail in young democracies? How can legislators serve their constituents when parties control the necessary resources? Unity through Particularism sheds light on these questions and more by explaining how parties can use personal vote-seeking incentives in order to decrease intra-party dissent. Studying a unique electoral reform in Mexico, the book provides a detailed description of how institutional incentives can conflict. It draws on a variety of rich, original data sources on legislative behavior and organization in 20 Mexican states to develop a novel explanation of how electoral reforms can amplify competing institutional incentives. In settings where legislative rules and candidate selection procedures favor parties, legislators may lack the resources necessary to build voter support. If this is the case, party leaders can condition access to these resources on loyalty to the party's political agenda.

Dick AwardNicholas is a would-be poet and video-store clerk with a weeping hole in his hand - weeping not blood, but a plasma of tears... It began with Nakota and her crooked grin. She had to see the dark hole in the storage room down the hall. She had to make love to Nicholas beside it, and stare into its secretive, promising depths. Then Nakota began her experiments: First, she put an insect into the hole. Then a mouse... Now from down the hall, the black hole calls out to Nicholas every day and every night. And he will go to it. Because it has already seared his flesh, infected his soul, and started him on a journey of obsession - through its soothing, blank darkness into the blinding core of terror...

Dievčatá by mali oslavovať, ale Tella ešte necíti, že je slobodná. V zúfalosti sa dohodla s tajomným zločincom a to, čo mu dlhuje, nikto nikdy nedokázal splniť: zistiť skutočné meno majstra Caravalu Legendu. Jedinou šancou na odhalenie Legendovej identity je vyhrať Caraval, a tak sa Tella opäť vrhá do súťaže. Caraval si vždy vyžadoval odvahu, prefíkanosť a obetavosť, ale teraz chce hra ešte viac.

Dračia kaviareň
Saphira si splnila sen: v mestečku s osobitým kúzlom si otvorila kaviareň, kde sú vítaní všetci, dokonca aj dračie mláďatá. No keďže jej malí šupinatí zákazníci neustále podpaľujú zariadenie, jej podnikanie visí na vlásku.
O nezbedných dračích drobcoch vie svoje aj Aiden. Po bratovi, vychýrenom dračom jazdcovi, zdedil vajce a z neho sa vyliahol neposedný Sparky, ktorý samotárskemu majiteľovi poriadne komplikuje starostlivosť o milované rastliny. Keď Aiden vidí, ako to Saphire, odmalička túžiacej po vlastnom drakovi, so Sparkym ide, ponúkne jej dohodu. Ak mu ona vycvičí jeho neposlušné mláďa, on jej pomôže udržať kaviareň nad vodou.
Obaja vedia, že sú riešením problémov toho druhého, lenže vysmiata Saphira a mrzutý Aiden nemôžu byť rozdielnejší. Do cesty sa im stavajú temné tajomstvá dračích rodín, no aj iskry, ktoré nedbajú na triedne rozdiely. Bude aj toto nečakané vzplanutie pohromou... alebo v ich srdciach zažne viac než len vášeň?
