When We Sold God's Eye: Diamonds, Murder and a Clash of Worlds in the Amazon
by Alex Cuadros'A first-class work of reporting [and] a work of compassion for Indigenous peoples everywhere' BENJAMIN MOSER, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of SONTAG'A non-fiction novel of modern conquest, capitalism and murder . . . a stunning work' GREG GRANDIN, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of FORDLANDIAGrowing up in a remote corner of the Amazon, Pio, Maria, and Oita learned to hunt wild pigs and tapirs, gathering Brazil nuts and açaí berries from centuries-old trees. Then the first highway pierced through. Loggers and prospectors invaded, and they lost their families to terrible new weapons and diseases. Pushed to assimilate, they struggled to understand their new, capitalist reality. They ended up forging an uneasy symbiosis with their white antagonists - until a seam of diamonds erupted in their territory and decades of suppressed trauma burst out in a shocking act of retribution. Based on six years of immersive reporting and research, WHEN WE SOLD GOD'S EYE tells a unique kind of adventure story, a story of survival against all odds; of the temptations of wealth and the dream of prosperity; of a vital ecosystem threatened by the hunger for natural resources; of genocide and revenge. It's a story as old as the first European encounters with Indigenous people, playing out in the present day. But most of all, it's about a few startlingly clever individuals and their power to adapt - even thrive - in the most unlikely circumstances.

Robert Barton: A Remarkable Revolutionary
by Chris LawlorThe enigmatic Robert Barton was a central figure in Irish Revolution. From an Anglo-Irish ascendancy background, he joined the British army in 1915. He was sent to Dublin to guard Republican prisoners after the 1916 Easter Rising. Within two years he underwent a political conversion and joined Sinn Féin. He was elected to the Dáil and incarcerated during the War of Independence, but was released to help negotiate the truce which ended the conflict. He was a member of both Irish delegations to London in 1921, and was one of the plenipotentiaries who reluctantly signed the Anglo-Irish treaty in December. He voted for the treaty at Cabinet and Dáil level, but when he had done so, he switched his allegiance to the anti-treaty side in the Civil War, during which he was imprisoned again. After Irish independence, he enjoyed a long life of public service and died in 1975.
The Man Who Talked to the Wind: And other Rathlin Folk Tales from the Tommy Cecil Archive (Folk Tales)
by Colin UrwinSwept by strong ocean currents and ferocious storms, Rathlin Island is mysterious and hauntingly beautiful. Lying just six miles off the north coast of County Antrim, it is the most northerly inhabited island of Ireland. It was once home to prehistoric hunter-gathers. Its inhabitants have endured Viking raids, medieval massacres, famine and emigration. They have always been farmers, fishermen and seafarers. They are resourceful, independent and proud, and they have always enjoyed a good story.Drawing on Irish and Scottish traditions, Rathlin has a rich folk heritage which may have been all but lost but for one man. Tommy Cecil, most famous for rescuing Sir Richard Branson after his hot-air balloon ditched into the dark swirling waters off Rathlin, was instrumental in saving the island’s stories. Taken from recordings held in Ulster Folk Museum, this unique book brings his stories and those of other islanders to print for the first time.
The Little History of Lancashire
by Hugh HollinghurstThe Little History of Lancashire covers the historic county which used to stretch from Coniston Water in the Lake District in the north to the River Mersey in the south. From the formation of the county’s terrain in the Ice Age and its earliest occupation by the Celts, we enter history with the Roman occupation. The Normans arrived to form the county that played a major part in the turbulent period of the civil war. The Georgian and Victorian periods saw the Industrial Revolution in Lancashire shape the future of the country and beyond. Lancashire became the most important manufacturing and exporting centre in the land. But the rise of king cotton and its fall led to a traumatic outcome and the present day. All these themes are highlighted in an easy to read, concise and entertaining narrative which helps you to understand the historical importance of the county.
