Mickey Slabdabber, a Limerick Odyssey
ISBN: 9781411668874 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 552 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Set in the period 1935-1953, Mickey Slabdabber is another amazing slice of Irish life adding balance to the Limerick of "Angela's Ashes." Michael Quinlan's hometown is not as bleak as Frank McCourt's, although there is still hardship aplenty. Linguistic flair & Celtic originality, intriguing anecdotes and the drama of an unseen IRA distorting the life of a growing child all help flesh out our understanding of the Ireland of the day. Yet there is also art & enchantment, music, theatre & humour in this true story of the childhood and youth of a Vize's Field lane boy who wants to be a painter.

The book reflects the author's experience across more than forty years in assessing and forming policy about nuclear weapons, mostly at senior levels close to the centre both of British governmental decision-making and of NATO's development of plans and deployments, with much interaction also with comparable levels of United States activity in the Pentagon and the State department.

Rescuing the American Dream: Governing in a Century of Scarcity and Decline
ISBN: 9781466473850 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 170 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. What happened to the American Dream? Yesterday's age of abundance and prosperity has given way to today's scarcity and decline. Too many voters, uninformed about the issues or discouraged by polarized politics, have withdrawn from the discussion entirely, believing that there's nothing they can do to create change. Michael J. Quinlan, international business executive, former U.S. Navy officer, and life-long student of history, counters this with his own refreshingly non-partisan perspective. In plain language, he examines the major factors that helped take America to the top of the world in...

However, science threatens the human species with warfare not across one planet, but on a solar system-wide scale.
