From the author of A Ghost in the Throat, an unforgettable book - both history and ghost story - that will leave you gasping by its final page.In the city of Cork, a derelict Victorian mental hospital is being converted into modern apartments. One passerby has always flinched as she passes the place. Had she lived in another time, she too might have found herself held within those walls.Now, she notices a sign: FOR SALE.It is the first of many signs. Guided by an irresistible impulse, she follows them. Soon, she is trespassing, stealing, absconding from the routine of mother, spouse, daughter, as she uncovers a chorus of startling voices: those of the women who knew the hospital best. They murmur from archives and old records. They haunt from stairwells and walls. In them - and in one figure in particular -- she may find meaning and solace, righteous anger, salvation even. Or her final vanishing?A work of sublime intensity and tenderness, Said the Dead breaks the boundaries between worlds -- past and present, imagined and real, fact and fiction -- to make something new and lasting: an experience full of danger, full of love and full of truth.Praise for the work of Doireann Ni GhriofaThe effect is electric, like seeing a ghost returned to life.New Statesman Obliterates every clear definition of genre and form . . .

Heaven: Why It Matters Here and Now Have we forgotten heaven? Bestselling author and pastor Brian Zahnd invites us to remember heaven, to experience and embrace the divine mystery of the spiritual realm in this lifetime. This slow and steady progression of a deeper Christian faith that draws us nearer to Goda "pilgrimage of the soul"fosters in us a love for both the heavenly and the earthly. For too long, the conversation about heaven has been caught between two extremes. On one hand, there is the shallow "escapist" theology that reduces salvation to a reservation for the afterlife, unconcerned with Gods good earth or issues of justice in the world. On the other hand, manyof us have overcorrected, hyperfocusing on the here and now and losing sight of the spiritual reality beyonda fatal mistake if our Christianity is to have a compelling message in the twenty-first century. Our faith must once again speak confidentlyand humbly about the reality of the spiritual worldthe reality of unseen existences. In Unseen Existences, youll find a fresh way of looking at heaven that pushes back against extremes, a vision for life as a pilgrimage to our true home in heaven and union with God, and encouragement to persevere through the injustices of this world with hope. Unseen Existences will help you renew your faith, expandyour perspective, and re-embrace the divine mystery of heaven. Though life can be uncertain and unjust, our pilgrimage is preparing us for the world to come, where we will see Christ face-to-face. With the company of our Helper, Advocate, and Comforter, we press on, trusting he will lead us home.

In traditional interaction research, the nuclear family has been the common starting point, and primarily the interaction in the mother-child dyad has been studied. Child Focus in Family Systems: Communication Strategies and Analysis highlights a paradigm shift where research and clinical practice have evolved into a broader and more complex, systemic family perspective. In this, the triad is central, meaning the interaction between the child and at least two adults in a coparenting relationship. The book shows how important coordination between the adults is for the childs well-being. What does parenting look like in conflict or in moments of harmony and joy? How does this affect the child? And what influence does the child have on family dynamics?In the early chapters of the book, the meanings of attachment, interaction, and synchrony in the interaction are described. The complexity of communication is highlighted, as well as how the childs brain develops and how this affects the interaction. In the later chapters, the family system and the significance of the triadic interaction for the childs development are described. Here, it is shown how the couple and parental relationship affect the child and vice versa. The importance of coordinated coparenting is emphasised, but also how the child, from a very early age, is an active participant, influencing the parents interaction and communication. A number of case vignettes beautifully illustrate the importance of the theory in childparent interaction. This important and sensitively written book is a must-read for students and professionals in social services, child psychiatry, and healthcare involved in family support and parenting work.

From the rainsoaked pavements where young couples make silent pacts, to the humid rooms where a boy guards a bowl of rainwater, to the quiet resolve of a midlife partnership sparked in a community centerthese narratives are bound by a single, unbreakable thread: the conviction that wealth is not merely financial, but foundational. It is built on integrity, nurtured by resilience, and measured by legacy.I have woven these tales not as blueprints to be copied, but as compasses to inspire. Each story explores a different facet of the same truth: that true prosperity is an alignment of purpose, partnership, and principle. It is not inherited; it is constructedday by day, decision by decision, with hands that are not afraid to get dirty and hearts that refuse to be hardened.

Nietzsche e Wagner em Bayreuth traz o texto "Richard Wagner em Bayreuth", de Nietzsche, acompanhado de um extenso ensaio do tradutor Henry Burnett sobre a relaço entre Nietzsche e Richard Wagner, o lugar do compositor na modernidade e os desdobramentos de sua obra na cultura dos seculos XX e XXI.Escrito no contexto do primeiro Festival de Bayreuth, em 1876, o texto de Nietzsche e, simultaneamente, uma homenagem entusiasmada a Wagner e o prenuncio da ruptura que viria poucos anos depois. Nietzsche ve no compositor uma figura excepcional, capaz de reunir musica, teatro, filosofia, mito e historia em um mesmo projeto de renovaço cultural. Ao mesmo tempo, porem, ja se insinuam as fissuras que mais tarde se tornariam irreconciliaveis.Mais do que contextualizar a traduço, o ensaio de Burnett acompanha o processo gradual de distanciamento entre os dois, mostrando como a admiraço pelo compositor se transforma, aos poucos, em uma critica ao monumentalismo, ao nacionalismo, ao cristianismo e a relaço entre arte e massas. Em vez de tratar Wagner apenas como compositor ou Nietzsche apenas como filosofo, Burnett investiga o modo como ambos se tornaram simbolos de um impasse que ainda atravessa o presente: o conflito entre arte, tecnica, poder e seduço coletiva.
