Only there do the stars twinkle and shine for grandchildren, children,  and everyone else who misses the deceased.

        Policing the peace in Northern Ireland

        Politics, crime and security after the Belfast Agreement

        by Jon Moran

        This timely and controversial book shows how crime, and the authorities' response to crime, became central to the peace process in Northern Ireland. At times, paramilitary activity threatened to destabilise the peace in Northern Ireland after 1998, but crime was central to maintaining capacity should the groups return to war. Over time, the reduction of crime was central to these groups' own attempts to reform and official judgements as to whether they were genuinely demobilising. The state's response to crime added controversy. Police reform produced the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) and the new Organised Crime Task Force signalled the importance of crime control, but the Assets Recovery Agency, supposedly the 'magic bullet' for organised crime, misfired. Law enforcement was also deeply affected by the British state's response to paramilitary crime. By 2007, peace was apparently secure and paramilitaries were 'de-criminalising', but this often chaotic process was marked with questions about the British state's adherence to the rule of law. Incorporating first-hand research in the PSNI, the book will be of interest to general readers and scholars of Irish Studies, criminology, and British and comparative politics. ;

        Greta Thunberg

        Climate Change Activist

        by Jon Sterngass

        In August 2018, 15-year-old Swedish student Greta Thunberg decided not to go to school in order to protest the climate crisis, and demand government action to prevent global warming. Her school strike sparked a global movement, inspiring millions of students to strike. Before she was 18 years old, Greta had participated in protests in Europe and North America, created a TED talk viewed more than 10 million times, and addressed the United Nations, the U.S. Congress, the British Parliament, and the World Economic Forum. In 2019, she was named Time magazine's person of the year, the youngest person ever to receive this recognition. This is her story.

        Fight back

        Punk, politics and resistance

        by Subcultures Network

        Fight back examines the different ways punk - as a youth/subculture - may provide space for political expression and action. Bringing together scholars from a range of academic disciplines (history, sociology, cultural studies, politics, English, music), it showcases innovative research into the diverse ways in which punk may be used and interpreted. The essays are concerned with three main themes: identity, locality and communication. These, in turn, cover subjects relating to questions of class, age and gender; the relationship between punk, locality and socio-political context; and the ways in which punk's meaning has been expressed from within the subculture and reflected by the media. Jon Savage, the foremost commentator and curator of punk's cultural legacy, provides an afterword on punk's impact and dissemination from the 1970s to the present day.
