					<description><![CDATA[<span class="a-text-bold">A legend is stirring.</span>

Stories of Queen Maeve have lingered across Connacht and the Atlantic coast since her death two thousand years ago. A Sligo surfer has heard whispers on the tide that this ancient Irish warrior is waking from her slumber. From the mysterious passage tombs of Knocknarea and Carrowmore to the enormous swells that break at Mullaghmore, <span class="a-text-italic">Waking Maeve</span> carries readers on a rolling wave from Stone Age to the era of rock ’n’ roll, tracking the myths, landscapes and people that shaped Ireland’s northwest.

Along the way, you’ll meet kings and queens, saints and Vikings, poets and rebels, shipwrecks, surfers and dreamers who left their mark on one of Ireland’s most extraordinary landscapes.

Guided by the enduring spirit of the Neolithic people of the northwest, Queen Maeve and the poet WB Yeats, Seamus Mc Goldrick reveals the deep connections between past and present, inviting readers to discover why Sligo continues to captivate, inspire and surprise.

<span class="a-text-italic">“An evocative journey through myth, memory and marine identity</span>, Waking Maeve<span class="a-text-italic"> reconnects us with the ancient relationship between people, place and sea. Seamus Mc Goldrick brings Ireland’s northwest vividly to life through story, landscape and the enduring power of the feminine. Here, Queen Maeve emerges as both wave-rider and warrior of the sea, stirring as if from an ancient slumber beneath the Atlantic tide.” Easkey Britton, author of Saltwater in the Blood</span>

					<description><![CDATA[<em><strong>Poetry To StarDust</strong></em>, <em><strong>or PTSD,</strong></em> <em>When twin flames burn to the ground,</em> is my memoir written in poetic verse. Through poetry, I trace the arc of trauma: a love story that turned into something far darker. Across nine parts, the book takes the reader through a journey of love, illusion, survival, pain, and ultimately, healing.

My story begins with falling deeply in love, not with a person as they truly were, but with the version they presented to the world: someone who seemed to embody everything I had ever dreamed of. What felt like a perfect love slowly revealed itself to be something far darker, as the dream fractured into a nightmare of emotional and domestic abuse.

Alone in Ireland, far from my family and without a support system, I found myself navigating a reality I never imagined I would face.

Through each part of this memoir, I explore the aftermath of domestic violence, the invisible wounds, the lingering trauma, and the weight of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Yet within that darkness, there is movement toward healing. Through poetry, I began to reclaim my voice, transforming pain into something that reaches beyond survival.
<div class="preformatted-block" data-component-name="PreformattedTextBlockToDOM">
<pre class="text"><em>Poetry To StarDust</em> is both my testimony and my offering. I share my truth in the hope that the cycle of domestic violence may be interrupted, that others may find recognition, strength, and a way out, or, at the <em>very least, <strong>feel seen.</strong></em></pre>
<pre class="text">Sometimes, 
                   being seen 
                   can be everything.</pre>

					<description><![CDATA[<div dir="auto">"In Famine: Voices of a Lost Generation, author, historian and story-teller Joe McGowan brings into focus one of the most poignant chapters in Irish history. Through eyewitness accounts, official records, family memory, and folklore, he reconstructs a vivid, deeply human story of hunger, eviction, disease, and exile, in a journey from the poorest cabin to the 'big house' and on to the ill-fated coffin ships.</div>
<div dir="auto"></div>
<div dir="auto">As chairman and founding member of the County Sligo Famine Commemoration Committee, McGowan is uniquely placed to write about the devastating impact of An Gorta Mór, The Great Hunger. Bringing together the authority of the historian and the sensitivity of the seanchaí, he traces its human consequences and enduring legacy, offering a compassionate account of loss, resilience, and remembrance."</div>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[<div class="strike">Description</div>
<div class="productDescription">From the creators of the internationally bestselling, award-winning, multi-adapted phenomenon The Lost Words: a dazzling celebration of birdlife in Britain, re-imagining the classic field guide for a new generation of nature loversA great thinning of the skies is underway. Around 50% of bird species are in decline worldwide. Our dawns and springs are quieter each year than the last.

An almost unimaginable abundance has been lost. It does not have to be this way –– but we will not save what we do not love. The Book of Birds is a compendium of forty-nine bird species, from Avocet to Yellowhammer, all of which are declining or endangered in Britain.

Inspired by the classic bird-books with which the authors grew up, this is a field guide with a difference. It asks not ‘What is that bird?’, but ‘Who is that bird?’ It shows its readers how to identify birds, but also how to identify with them. With lyrical precision and playfulness, Robert Macfarlane evokes each bird’s habits and habitats –– their patterns of flight and of song, how they hunt and gather, how they nest and raise their young, the stories and myths which attend them, the threats which shadow them, and how their wild lives intersect with our own.</div>]]></description>
