Hart E: The Sirens

The Sirens

A Novel

A ground-breaking look at the science of love and connection - and an urgent corrective to some of our most fundamental assumptions about attraction. 'In a world saturated with cynical advice about dating and gender, this book is a revelation.' DANIEL H. PINK, author of Drive and The Power of Regret 'One of the most joyfully uplifting antidotes to 21st-century gloom.' THE TIMES --------------------- We're told that what men and women desire from relationship is different - he's looking for novelty, she's looking for commitment; he's concerned with looks, she's concerned with status. We're told that we live in a hierarchy of romantic inequality - where some are 10s and others are 2s; where some people are marriage material and others are wired for promiscuity. But this narrative is unscientific. Such ideas have their roots in a branch of science called evolutionary psychology, and over the past few decades its ideas have permeated our culture and fuelled a narrative that inspires despair and anxiety - and, in its most extreme form, these ideas have been hijacked in the service of misogyny and violence. But the truth about human attraction - and the way evolution plays out in our romantic lives - is much more interesting and optimistic. Bonded by Evolution offers a radical new picture of the roots of enduring chemistry. Distilling evolutionary biology, anthropology and psychology and informed by his pathbreaking research and original experiments at the Attraction and Relationships Research Laboratory in California, psychology professor Paul Eastwick reveals how attraction is best depicted as a process of finding - and, often, creating - a compatible relationship. Once we understand how ancestral humans sought compatible partners in small networks, we can build a clearer - and brighter - picture of how attraction, sex and relationships really work. --------------------- More praise for Bonded by Evolution: 'Profound and pragmatic, suggesting an entirely different approach to the study - and pursuit - of love.' ERIC KLINENBERG, co-author of Modern Romance 'Rarely have scientific rigor and exuberant optimism been such congenial companions . . . Bonded by Evolution presents an optimistic new paradigm, one that provides clear guidance for romantic success.' ELI FINKEL, author of The All or Nothing Marriage

What We’ve Got Wrong About Love and Connection

Bonded by Evolution

...by any standard, a remarkable magnum opus ... No serious lawyer, accountant or corporate entrepreneur can do without this work. The 2014 Act and this volume, taken together, are the corner-stone and keystone respectively of the bridge to understanding the corporate law of this State. Michael McDowell, The Sunday Business Post The most comprehensive commentary on Irish company law and the recognised authority in this jurisdiction, Law of Companies is an unparalleled statement of the law applicable to the formation, administration and management of companies. This new edition: - reviews the amending legislation enacted since 2015; - completely reviews the law relating to one of the most fundamental principles of company law, lifting the veil, - expands and improves the chapters on the law on corporate criminal liability and the criminal liability of directors, - redevelops the chapter on directors' fiduciary and other duties by reference to both Irish and UK developments, - provides coverage of the significant changes to company general meetings introduced following Covid, - analyses the new rescue process for small and micro companies that was introduced in 2021, and &gt; Fully updated to take account of the hundreds of judgments from the Irish and UK courts delivered since the previous edition, as well as the new statutory provisions, the fifth edition of The Law of Companies is a 'must have' for all practitioners and students of Irish company law. This title is included in Bloomsbury Professional's Irish Company and Commercial Law online service.

The Law of Companies

This book celebrates the life and legacy of one of Ireland's greatest ever jurists - Gerard Hogan. Across his career as an academic, Advocate General at the Court of Justice of the European Union, and judge of the High Court, Court of Appeal, and Supreme Court of Ireland, Gerard Hogan has had a profound influence on public law. He is widely regarded as Ireland's leading legal scholar, particularly in constitutional law, administrative law, and EU law. The volume in his honour focuses on the central role of courts in public law. It examines how courts shape constitutional systems, interpret legislation, hold public authorities accountable, and protect rights, while maintaining the balance between the executive, legislature, and citizens. Drawing on themes developed in his scholarship, opinions, and judgments, the book addresses issues such as judicial review, constitutional oversight, the rule of law, and the relationship between judicial independence, public confidence, democracy, and accountability. It also considers comparative and global perspectives on how courts perform these functions across different jurisdictions. Reflecting on Gerard Hogan's enduring contributions to debates on judicial review, separation of powers, fundamental rights, and judicial decision-making, the book serves as both a tribute and a lasting scholarly resource. At a time of ongoing constitutional challenges in Ireland and across Europe, it offers a timely reflection on the principles of public law that Gerard Hogan has shaped over several decades, both on and off the bench.

Don Winslow’s acclaimed fiction collection, featuring “Crime 101,” soon to be a major motion picture starring Chris Hemsworth, Halle Berry, Mark Ruffalo, Barry Keoghan, and Monica Barbaro.No matter how you come into this world, you come out broken . . .&nbsp;Hailed as “one of America’s greatest storytellers” (Stephen King), #1 international bestseller Don Winslow presents&nbsp;six intense short novels with characters—some familiar, some new—&nbsp;connected by the themes of crime, vengeance, guilt, and redemption. It includes:<ul><li>Crime 101: A string of high-level jewel heists up and down the Pacific Coast Highway has gone unsolved for years, mostly because the perpetrator has lived by a strict code he calls “Crime 101.”&nbsp;Police attribute the thefts to the Colombian cartels.&nbsp;But Detective Lou Lubesnick’s gut says it’s the work of just one man.&nbsp;Now the lone-wolf jewel thief is looking for that fabled final last score.&nbsp;And Lou breaks all the rules of Crime 101…</li><li>Broken: Police dispatcher Eva McNabb takes the call on a police officer’s brutal murder by a vicious drug gang.&nbsp;It’s her own kid, Danny.&nbsp;Then Eva makes her own call.&nbsp;Summoning her elder son, Jimmy, also a cop, Eva commands: Avenge your brother.&nbsp;I want you to kill them all.</li><li>The Last Ride: To former soldier and cowboy-turned-Border Patrol agent Cal Strickland, the illegals who try to jump his stretch of the Texas-Mexico border are a nameless, faceless group who need to be sent back to their side of the line. That is, until he sees the little girl in the cage. And Cal knows that the time has come to make a stand and help her escape.</li></ul>With his trademark blend of insight, humanity, humor, action, and the highest level of literary craftsmanship, Winslow delivers a collection of tales that have become classics of crime fiction.“While Winslow is in widely fluent in many different prose techniques&nbsp;— from the twisty punchline felonies of Elmore Leonard and Robert B. Parker to the&nbsp;rebop riffs of James Ellroy to mega-works of dark literature a la Cormac McCarthy and James Lee Burke&nbsp;— he's not 'copying' anyone. He's writing his OWN masterpieces and just happens to do so in the fashion appropriate to the work. . . . Every piece in&nbsp;Broken&nbsp;is a winner and compellingly different.”&nbsp;—&nbsp;The Day&nbsp;(CT)“Broken&nbsp;will make you laugh and cry, but in the end will explain why&nbsp;The New York Times&nbsp;thinks Winslow is simply ‘the greatest.’ . . . He crafts every sentence until it beats to a rhythm of its own. . . .&nbsp;Broken&nbsp;is devastating and brilliant.” —&nbsp;Sydney Morning Herald

Acclaimed international correspondent Sally Hayden has spent her career covering some of the darkest moments of our time, and yet even in the face of unimaginable adversity, she's witnessed the love and care of everyday people.Hayden introduces us to a couple separated by the Russian invasion of Ukraine and a mother in northeast Nigeria who risks everything to save her daughter from forced marriage to Boko Haram militants.

Would it become harder to dehumanise those who seem different to us? This is Also a Love Story dares us to recognise how love can be found in even the most difficult of times, and to question what might be needed to create a better world.'Moving ...

The Rule of Law in Context

This book investigates core legal-political cultural myths of the Australian nation by canvassing, challenging and recasting some of the well-understood debates around, and invocations of, 'the rule of law' in Australia. It foregrounds one of the most enduring and prominent manifestations of these debates: claims to state sovereignty and rule of law in a system that has an incoherent legal foundation in its intentional ignorance of, and arbitrary violence perpetrated against, First Nations, their people, their sovereignty and their law. It examines the claims and celebrations of colonial rule of law achievements; constitutional rule of law protections; and the rule of law as tool to delineate and circumscribe the role of judges in the State. It presents a survey of the constitutional and legal principles and institutions and explores the socio-political aspects of rule of law in the country and how rule of law is experienced. With a focus on the legacy of the treatment of First Nations people, the book looks at how the Australia's rule of law institutions and machinery continue to exclude and fail vulnerable, marginalised and publicly reviled groups. Exploring these arguments through historical and contemporary case studies, including native title negotiations, anti-terrorism regimes, the government's response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the push for constitutional enshrinement of a First Nations Voice, and the Royal Commission into the government's 'Robodebt' inquiry, this book shows the inescapable messiness of rule of law in Australia as a legal and political concept, instrumentalised and weaponised across its history.
