From her early beginnings – a colourful childhood in India brought to an abrupt end by independence and partition, then a return to dreary post-war England and on to a finishing school in Paris with daughters of presidents and princes – ordinary didn''t seem to be her fate. When, as a ten-year-old, she overheard her mother describe her as ‘desperately plain’, she decided then and there that she had to rely on something different: glamour, eccentricity, character, a career – anything, so as not to end up at the bottom of the pile. And in classic Brigid style, she somehow ended up with them all.Fate often gave Brigid a helping hand – in the late fifties, in her teens, she landed a job as an assistant at the Daily Express in London, and by the tender age ...

Oliver Keenan brings the medieval philosophy of Thomas Aquinas to life.Thomas Aquinas is more than a medieval curiosity. He was a reluctant revolutionary, a scholar, poet and saint whose work unleashed an epoch-defining explosion of philosophical creativity in the thirteenth century. Writing at a time of war, injustice, poverty and alienation, Aquinas’ thought reaches across the ages and speaks to us today.As Oliver Keenan argues, Aquinas matters now not because he was right about everything but because he can teach us a new way of looking at the world. A powerful voice for community, justice, friendship and peace, Aquinas’ profoundly non-violent philosophy shows us how to be human in a deeply dehumanizing world. The era that he knew was defined by conflict and divisive politics, much like our own – his unfailing belief in the power of communication to overcome alienation and despair is an important lesson for us all.This book brings Aquinas’ challenging but deeply rewarding philosophy to life for readers new to his work, as well as those already familiar. Oliver Keenan has spent his working life researching and engaging with Thomas Aquinas, culminating in this moving and original account of why he matters now – perhaps more ...

A media history of how the UK and US governments have surveilled citizens by intercepting their private communications.It may not be Big Brother (yet), but the state is watching you—watching all of us, in fact, systematically intercepting our private communications and putting them to work in its own interests. In Interception, a media genealogy of the surveillance state at its most intimate, Bernard Keenan investigates the emergence of this practice as a governmental power, and the secret role it has played in the development of communication systems and law. His book exposes the complex, largely obscure history of a covert and fundamental connection between the secret powers of the state and the means by which we communicate our everyday lives. Keenan analyzes key moments in this history, from the formation of the postal system to cable networks, satellites, and the internet, with particular attention to the role that media play in determining the political and legal conditions of the power of interception in governmental affairs. While chiefly focused on Britain, the Empire, and the post-1945 UK-USA signal intelligence alliance, the book’s analysis has international reach across networks and jurisdictions, connecting Edward Snowden’s disclosures, and post-2013 developments, to a longer media ...

Baggage has gotten a bad rap. We think it''s all bad. We think it makes us less likely to have good, healthy relationships today. But baggage isn''t just the bad stuff that happened to us in the past. It''s the lessons we''ve taken from the pain we carry. It''s how what we''ve been through has actually made us stronger and more capable than we imagine. And it''s how we''re going to make our current relationships work.Far from minimizing past pain, pastor Ike Miller shows you how to go through the baggage you carry from a difficult childhood and pull out the good stuff. The intentionality you''ve developed. The empathy you''ve gained. The trust you value so highly. Miller shares from his own past in a dysfunctional family impacted by alcoholism and divorce, and his present as part of a healthy and loving family, to illustrate how to stop letting your past sabotage your present. You''ll find no platitudes or pat answers here. Rather, you''ll discover untapped riches of experience and knowledge you already have that can make your relationships thrive and change the course of your life and legacy.

Rozsáhlá sága začíná v polovině 19. století na moravském venkově a pokračuje ve Vídni přes bezhlavý útěk před nacisty až po těžce vydobytou novou existenci v Americe. Výraznou roli přisoudila autorka prastrýci Ottovi Flatterovi, malíři, který v roce 1932 vyřezal a omaloval lepenkové figurky znázorňující některé členy rodiny. Jeho loutkové divadlo přečkalo dramata exilu a zachovalo se dodnes. Paměti předků Brigid Graumanové představují pozoruhodný dar z minulosti, zároveň neodolatelnou pozvánku k objevování světa, do něhož rodina patřila. "Být Židem nebylo nikdy lehké, nejen kvůli předsudkům ostatních lidí, ale i Židů samotných," píše Brigid Graumanová a předkládá příběh vlastní rodiny v průběhu dvou století. Rodinnou historii mapuje prostřednictvím sedmi předků, ztělesňujících rozličné formy židovství, kteří po sobě zanechali memoáry. Přestože každý z těchto memoárů je jiný svým charakterem a zaměřením, autory kromě krve spojuje ještě jedno - všichni byli běženci, cizinci v zemích, kde se nikdy necítili doma.

Americans often worry about political corruption-not only about specific officials misusing their powers, but also more broadly about political, cultural, moral decay or deterioration. Underneath our talk about corruption lie deeper claims and concerns about how we organize our common life. American Corruption Talk presents a study of corruption and corruption talk that seeks to understand those deeper claims and concerns. Robert Boatright and Molly Brigid McGrath focus on the role corruption talk plays in American political discourse. They distinguish between two ways people speak about corruption-corruption talk in the style of a purifier, who wishes to expunge the evil forces or drain the swamp, and corruption talk in the style of the mender, who thinks of managing, replacing, or repairing. Â American Corruption Talk begins by tracing how the concept of political corruption was developed by philosophers and political thinkers, leading up to its use in the American context, especially in the Progressive Era. It also compares modes of contemporary corruption talk in different areas of public life. In doing so, the authors hope to resolve confusion and partisan disagreements about what corruption is and to discourage the tendency to label actions, events, and ideas that we merely disagree ...
