This is the story of an Irish woman and her 790-kilometre walk across northern Spain along the ancient pilgrim route, the Camino de Santiago. In 2012 Mary Murphy set out from the French town of Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port in the Pyrenees, with only her journal for accompaniment, in the belief that if she committed herself fully to the power of the Camino it would be a transformative experience. At times comfortless and gruelling, living in simple pilgrim hostels and trekking across mountains, hills and valleys, it proved to be not at all what she had expected. With everything stripped away she encountered a vulnerability within herself that was difficult to bear. Would she do it all again? Absolutely.

The riveting true account of the 2001 murder of Bonny Lee Bakley, starring Robert Blake—the Hollywood icon accused of killing his wife in cold blood In May 2001 Bonny Lee Bakley was shot to death in a car parked on a dark Hollywood side street. Eleven months later Robert Blake—her husband, the father of her child, and the star of the classic film In Cold Blood and the popular 1970s TV detective series Baretta—was arrested for murder, conspiracy, and solicitation. Did Blake kill his wife? Did he hire someone to do the job for him? Award-winning journalist Dennis McDougal and entertainment-media expert Mary Murphy recount a real-life crime story more shocking and bizarre than any movie, chronicling the parallel worlds of Blake and Bakley, from their troubled youths to their sham of a marriage. By the late 1990s Blake was coasting on his past success. Bakley was a con artist who concocted online sex scams and victimized unsuspecting men, netting big money and dangerous enemies. In true noir style, McDougal and Murphy lay bare the stories of two violent people whose lives collided in a tragic tangle of abuse, betrayal, and love gone horribly wrong.

Animals are sentient beings. This means that they are just as much capable-if not more capable-than humans are of feeling pain, sadness and other emotions. We teach our children to be kind and loving towards all creatures, then turn around and feed them these same animals.Children and animals share a common innocence; it is devastating that we lose this innocence as we grow older, trading it for ignorance-ignoring the inhumanity and injustices of how we treat animals across the country and throughout the world. While we are ignorant to their pain, it is no secret how these animals receive their pain. Gandhi once said, "The greatness of a nation can be judged by the way its animals are treated." Our nations'' animals are not just treated poorly, but their basic rights are taken away. This collection of poetry was written to make people more aware of what is going on in our world-we are killing the animals, hurting the environment, and ultimately ruining our health, the health of our children, and jeopardizing the future of humankind.

This book tells a story that nobody knows because at the time the story happened, nobody cared. The individual lives of the labouring Irish were unrecorded, irrelevant. The Hungry Grass weaves the threads of daily routine, annual cycles, religious faith, fairy belief, communal practice, and political reality to show as clear a picture as possible of the very complex life among tenant families in the nineteenth-century. The poet begins with the little she knows of her Murphy ancestors: the names and birthdates of the six who survived to emigrate, and the name of the parish where they lived. I also knew from my triple-great-grandfathers obituary that two children did not survive. This volume is one continuous poem that unfolds over the course of fifteen years. It never falters in evoking its theme, or in being focused and concise, with impeccable word choices, and unfailing, echoing rhythm. When employed, the rhyming is subtle and musical. The shape of thought, which is a consistent seven-syllable line with occasional variation of one or two syllables, is masterful in its execution of sound and sense. This is poetry that will show anyone who doubts it the continuing and necessary love of this craft, this art.

Since its original publication in 1987, Like a Family has become a classic in the study of American labor history. Basing their research on a series of extraordinary interviews, letters, and articles from the trade press, the authors uncover the voices and experiences of workers in the Southern cotton mill industry during the 1920s and 1930s. Now with a new afterword, this edition stands as an invaluable contribution to American social history. “The genius of Like a Family lies in its effortless integration of the history of the family — particularly women — into the history of the cotton-mill world.” — Ira Berlin, New York Times Book Review “Like a Family is history, folklore, and storytelling all rolled into one. It is a living, revelatory chronicle of life rarely observed by the academe. A powerhouse.” — Studs Terkel “Here is labor history in intensely human terms. Neither great impersonal forces nor deadening statistics are allowed to get in the way of people. If students of the New South want both the dimensions and the feel of life and labor in the textile industry, this book will be immensely satisfying.” — CHOICE

Arthur Rothstein, Russell Lee, John Vachon, and Marion Post Wolcott became some of the United States'' best-known photographers through their pictures of Depression-era America. Their assignment, as one of their associates described it, was to have "a long look at the whole vast, complicated rural U.S. landscape with all that was built on it and all those who built and wrecked and worked in it and bore kids and dragged them up and played games and paraded and picnicked and suffered and died and were buried in it." In Montana the four photographers traveled to forty of the state''s fifty-six counties, creating a rich record of the many facets of the Depression and recovery: rural and urban, agricultural and industrial, work and play, hard times and the promise of a brighter future. The photographers captured the dignity of Montanans as they struggled to scratch out livings from dried-up fields, nurture families in the shadows of Butte head frames, and foster communities on the vast expanses of the northern plains. Hope in Hard Times, features over 140 Farm Security Administration photographs to illustrate the story of the Great Depression in Montana and the experiences of the photographers who documented it. Today these striking images, from cities like Butte to small towns like Terry, present an unforgettable portrait of a little-studied period in the history of Montana. Selected from the Farm Security Administration Collection at the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C., the photographs in Hope in Hard Times offer viewers an unparalleled look at life in Montana in the years preceding the United States'' entry into World War II.
