Crazy Man
Stacy thinks she is the luckiest girl in the world when she meets Allan. As he wines and dines her, it’s easy to forget her lifetime of poverty, bad times, and hard work. They fall in love and form a passionate relationship. At first, Stacy doesn’t mind when Allan calls her at work, listens to her phone calls, and wants her to check in with him. But Allan’s jealousy, possessiveness, and anger evolve into an abusive relationship, and Stacy feels trapped. She becomes a painful victim of domestic violence, which leaves her devastated. Yet Stacy finds an inner strength and she finally ends the relationship. In her journey to healing, Stacy’s story conveys real-life events of herself and other victims she meets along the way. Their struggles to leave abusive relationships leave some bruised, broken, and afraid for their lives. Some are even manipulated into thinking that being abused is a way of life. Although this book is fiction, the people and the abuse are real. Stacy’s journey gives readers a sense of hope by providing self-help information on the different types of abuse, the warning signs, and what to do in case readers, or someone they know, are abused.
Crazy Man Michael
McCadden is hotly tipped to take over the all-Ireland Murder Squad, but that's before an unholy mess lands on his own doorstep. The Irish Minister for Justice is about to re-form the Murder Squad, an elite unit with exclusive responsibility for investigating homicides throughout the Irish state. Its first investigation is expected to centre on a cluster of unsolved murders of women, and DI Carl McCadden, currently stationed at Waterford, is hotly tipped to lead the new unit. Unfortunately, in the weeks leading up to this prestigious assignment, an old acquaintance, an undercover cop named Rookie Wallace, turns up on McCadden's patch in a bad state and with a bizarre story. While on undercover work in a block of Dublin flats, Wallace and the small-time pusher he was cultivating stumbled on a body with the head stove in. Next day, Wallace saw a photograph of the dead man in the papers, along with a report that he had drowned in County Waterford, two hundred miles from where Wallace found him. The day after, Special Branch men tried to kill Wallace. It's obvious that Wallace has stumbled into some heavy stuff, particularly when the official line turns out to be that Wallace has gone rogue, and thrown his lot in with the villains he was supposed to be infiltrating. McCadden knows that the smart thing to do is stay out of it and keep his nose clean for a few weeks until he's landed the big job, especially when he realises that the Minister for Justice, his soon-to-be boss, is showing signs of misusing his privileged position. Crazy Man Michael is the fourth in Jim Lusby's complex, subtle and compulsive McCadden mysteries.

"This excellent collection of essays by some of the leading lights of anthropology provides paths from the never more pressing question 'what is to be done?'" —Catherine Lutz, University of North Caroline at Chapel Hill In this new edition of the anthropological classic Exotic No More, some of today's most respected anthropologists demonstrate the tremendous contributions that anthropological theory and ethnographic methods can make to the study of contemporary society. With chapters covering a wide variety of subjects—the economy, religion, the sciences, gender and sexuality, human rights, music and art, tourism, migration, and the internet—this volume shows how anthropologists grapple with a world that is in constant and accelerating transformation. Each contributor uses examples from their adventurous fieldwork to challenge us to rethink some of our most firmly held notions. This fully updated edition reflects the best that anthropology has to offer in the twenty-first century. The result is both an invaluable introduction to the field for students and a landmark achievement that will set the agenda for critical approaches to the study of contemporary life.
