John Brennan My Name is Jhon
Venditore: Ibs.it Prezzo: 14.24 € (+2.70 €)As a child, John Brennan wasn’t an obvious candidate for success. School was a difficult, upsetting place and he was always at the bottom of the class. His battle with dyslexia meant that he felt stigmatised by a society that didn’t understand him. Yet his determination to not be defined by his dyslexia created an ambition that has been matched by his business acumen.\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nNow in his mid-fifties, John’s optimism is still flowing. It is a measure of his character that, on being diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, the first thing he did was to buy a very uncared for Dromquinna Manor on a waterfront estate on 46 acres of overgrown grounds. Ten years later, in the midst of a world pandemic that saw hotels closed all over the world, John again bought a new hotel.\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nThis is a fascinating account of a man with the vision to create his own life against the odds that will inspire people everywhere to find their own way too.\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n‘A great book for parents and young people who are coping with dyslexia that shows them there are a lot of other ways in life.’ Sue Nunn, KCLR FM

Dylan Brennan Let The Dead
Venditore: Ibs.it Prezzo: 10.68 € (+2.70 €)Deeply attuned to those things that make and unmake us, Dylan Brennan's Let The Dead concerns itself with life's alchemical processes. A couple breathe life into a doomed poppet, a photographer immortalises a corpse, Joyce and Breton rub shoulders on the streets of the poet's adopted Mexico, where life is a tapestry of 'delicate anthers' and 'disembodied tongues'. These dark meditations are set against poems which consider love, miscarriage, childbirth and the daily miracle of family life. Beautiful and disturbing by turns, these reflections on Ireland and Mexico's shared colonial past invoke topographies both real and imagined, where 'things in the ground have a tendency to grow.' Let the Dead reminds us of the power of art to shape our perception of history, and of the artist's responsibility in a time of violence.

Jason Brennan Why It's OK to Want to Be Rich
Venditore: Ibs.it Prezzo: 23.74 € (+2.70 €)Finger-wagging moralizers say the love of money is the root of all evil. They assume that making a lot of money requires exploiting others, and that the best way to wash off the resulting stain is to give a lot of it away.\n\nIn Why It’s OK to Want to Be Rich, Jason Brennan shows that the moralizers have it backwards. He argues that, in general, the more money you make, the more you already do for others, and that even an average wage earner is productively “giving back” to society just by doing her job. In addition, wealth liberates us to have the best chance of leading a life that’s authentically our own.\n\nBrennan also demonstrates how money-based societies create nicer, more trustworthy, and more cooperative citizens. And in another chapter that takes on the new historians of capitalism, Brennan argues that wealthy nations became wealthy because of their healthy institutions, not from their horrific histories of slavery or colonialism.\n\nWhile writing that the more money one has, the more one should help others, Brennan also notes that we weren’t born into a perpetual debt to society. It’s OK to get rich and it’s OK to enjoy being rich, too.\n\n---\n\n Key Features\n\n\n\n \n\n \nShows how the desire to become wealthy in an open and fair market helps maximize cooperation and lessens the chance of violence and war\n \n\n \nArgues that it is much easier for the average for-profit business to add value to the world than it is for the average non-profit\n \n\n \nDemonstrates that the kinds of virtues (e.g., conscientiousness, thoughtfulness, hard work) that lead to desirable personal and civic states (e.g., happy marriages, stable families, engaged citizens) also make people richer\n \n\n \nArgues that living in small clans for most of their history has given humans a negative attitude towards anyone acquiring more than her \"fair share,\" an attitude that’s ill-suited for our market-driven, globally connected world\n \n\n \nIn a final, provocative chapter, maintains that ideal economic growth is infinite.

Summer Brennan High Heel
Venditore: Ibs.it Prezzo: 11.87 € (+2.70 €)Best Fifteen Books of March 2019, Refinery29\nBest Nonfiction Books of 2019, Paste Magazine\n\nObject Lessons is a series of short, beautifully designed books about the hidden lives of ordinary things. \n\nFetishized, demonized, celebrated, and outlawed, the high heel is central to the iconography of modern womanhood. But are high heels good? Are they feminist? What does it mean for a woman (or, for that matter, a man) to choose to wear them?\n\nMeditating on the labyrinthine nature of sexual identity and the performance of gender, High Heel moves from film to fairytale, from foot binding to feminism, and from the golden ratio to glam rock. Summer Brennan considers this most provocative of fashion accessories as a nexus of desire and struggle, sex and society, violence and self expression, setting out to understand what it means to be a woman by walking a few hundred years in her shoes.\n\nObject Lessons is published in partnership with an essay series in The Atlantic.

Archie Brennan;Brenda Osborn Archie Brennan: Tapestry as Modern Art
Venditore: Ibs.it Prezzo: 67.72 €\"I have been weaving tapestries for more than half a century. It is as much a part of my everyday as eating, sleeping—or dreaming.

Maeve Brennan The Long-Winded Lady
Venditore: Ibs.it Prezzo: 15.43 € (+2.70 €)In these delightful, melancholy prose sketches Maeve Brennan goes in pursuit of the ordinary, taking us on a tour of the cheap hotels, unassuming restaurants, and crowded streets of New York City. \n\nBrennan presents herself as the long-winded lady, solitary wanderer and wry observer of the human comedy. Whether she is riding the subway, failing to eat broccoli in a deserted restaurant, or watching lovers quarrel in Washington Square, Brennan manages to capture the wavering spectacle of the metropolis with an uncanny precision that makes these slight essays at once hallucinatory and hyperreal. \n\nOriginally written for The New Yorker between 1954 and 1981 and presented here in full with a new introduction by Sinéad Gleeson, these pieces reveal Maeve Brennan to be one of the twentieth century’s most accomplished documentarians of city life, and one of its finest essayists.

Don't try to smuggle a phone or any other piece of technology over the wall that marks the Border - unless you enjoy a fireworks display in your backpack. (Ballpoint pens are okay.) There are elves, harpies, and - best of all as far as Elliot is concerned - mermaids.\n\n\"What's your name?\"\n\n\"Serene.\"\n\n\"Serena?\" Elliot asked.\n\n\"Serene,\" said Serene. \"My full name is Serene-Heart-in-the-Chaos-of-Battle.\"\n\nElliot's mouth fell open. \"That is badass.\"\n\nElliot? Who's Elliot? Elliot is thirteen years old. He's smart and just a tiny bit obnoxious. Sometimes more than a tiny bit. When his class goes on a field trip and he can see a wall that no one else can see, he is given the chance to go to school in the Borderlands.\n\nIt turns out that on the other side of the wall, classes involve a lot more weaponry and fitness training and fewer mermaids than he expected. On the other hand, there's Serene-Heart-in-the-Chaos-of-Battle, an elven warrior who is more beautiful than anyone Elliot has ever seen, and then there's her human friend Luke: sunny, blond, and annoyingly likeable. There are lots of interesting books. There's even the chance Elliot might be able to change the world.
