SUMMARY:Book Launch: Living with Lynx by Jonny Hanson
DESCRIPTION:Join us at No Alibis Bookstore for the paperback launch of Dr Jonny Hanson’s Living with Lynx: Sharing Landscapes with Big Cats\, Wolves and Bears\, published by Pelagic Publishing. \nReserve your free place here! \nThis book investigates a vital and controversial question for conservation and rewilding in Britain and Ireland: could and should we learn to live with lynx\, wolves and bears again? We travel back in time\, around the world and into the future to explore this contested topic. The author delves deep into the human psyche\, considering not only his own mixed feelings about large carnivore reintroductions but also why people have such polarised perspectives on top predators. He brings his unique combination of expertise on snow leopards – and their relationship with humans – along with his experience as a farmer to illustrate the discussion. \nAlong the way\, we meet a cast of characters from across society\, including farmers\, rewilders and everyone in between. It becomes clear that coexisting with large carnivores is as much about sharing landscapes with each other as it is about sharing them with wildlife. The first book to tackle this subject in detail\, based on more than 50 interviews from seven countries\, Living with Lynx will be of relevance to anyone with an interest in the future of nature\, farming and the countryside. \nPersonal\, detailed\, unflinching and engaging\, it adds a great deal to this rapidly evolving debate.

SUMMARY:Book Launch: Sheila Armstrong - The Red Mouth
DESCRIPTION:Join us at No Alibis to celebrate the launch of The Red Mouth by Sheila Armstrong\, published by Bloomsbury. \nBook your free ticket here! \nPre-order your copy of the book here! \nWhen a dog finds a strange\, alien antler in a restored bog\, the owner’s first thought is to keep it for himself. But when he realises the value of his find\, he is drawn back to the rich peat to keep searching. It is not one stag skeleton that is buried there\, but dozens – an ancient dying ground of the Great Irish Elk. \nOther things have surfaced from the bog: prehistoric settlements\, bronze cauldrons\, ancient butter\, iron weapons – and the mutilated body of a two-thousand-year-old female. Fifty years ago\, a young archaeologist named her Belroe Woman\, and dedicated his life to telling the story of her sacrificial death. While state and public treat the bog body as a national treasure\, others must reckon with its otherworldly influence over their lives: the peat-cutter who first unearthed her and carries this discovery like a curse; the archaeologist’s daughter who grows up in the shadow of the bog’s strange magnetism; and the young environmental scientist whose work draws her back to where it all began. \nHaunting and lyrical\, The Red Mouth – an béal rua – is the story of two discoveries and the four strangers who become intertwined in their wake. The deep time of the bog is both mystical and sinister: those bound to it must decide what to bury – and what to unearth.

SUMMARY:BOOK LAUNCH - CTRL: Essays on Video Games
DESCRIPTION:Join us in the bookshop to celebrate the launch of CTRL\, a collection of essays on video games edited by Dean Fee and published by Lilliput Press. Dean and Stephen Sexton\, a contributor to the collection\, will be in conversation with local writer Dara McWade. \n***BOOK YOUR FREE TICKET HERE*** \n \nIn CTRL\, writers turn their focus to one of the most influential – and persistently misunderstood – art forms of the modern era. Through memoir\, criticism\, and narrative exploration\, these essays chart the ways video games intersect with memory\, identity\, imagination\, and the complicated business of being human.\nHere\, games become ciphers for joy and escape\, but also for pain\, addiction\, burnout and longing. They emerge as places where we grow up\, fall apart\, find solace\, test our limits\, and rewrite ourselves. The essays in this collection explore how virtual landscapes imprint on real ones\, how play becomes a way of thinking and how game worlds both mirror and distort the worlds we inhabit.\nRanging from pixelated nostalgia to sprawling open worlds\, CTRL interrogates gaming’s contradictions – its artistry and excesses\, its transformative potential and its shadows. Alongside these personal narratives lie broader questions: Where does this medium go next? Can it retain its creative integrity amid rapid technological shifts and the pressures of capital? What does it mean to call games art when they so often outgrow the boundaries we try to place around them?\nInsightful\, intimate\, and alive with curiosity\, CTRL captures the emotional and cultural force of video games\, and the stories we carry with us when we put the controller down. \nFeaturing Essays By:\nSheila Armstrong\nRob Doyle\nJoe Dunthorne\nDonal Fullam\nÚna-Minh Kavanagh\nRóisín Kiberd\nAnna Loughran\nDarragh McCausland\nLisa McInerney\nJohn Patrick McHugh\nChandrika Narayanan-Mohan\nBrenda Romero\nStephen Sexton\nPaul Whyte \nGames featured include:\nFinal Fantasy IX\nFallout: New Vegas\nPokémon\nDoom\nTomb Raider\nDisco Elysium\nThe Stanley Parable\nWanderstop\nUrban Chaos\nThe Elder Scrolls\nThe Witcher\nLemmings\nStar Wars\nGrim Fandango\nMonkey Island 2\nDiscworld\nBioshock\nHotline Miami\nRed Dead Redemption
