The richness of the Irish language is closely tied to the natural landscape and offers a more magical way of seeing the world. Most people associate Britain and Ireland with the English language, a vast, sprawling linguistic tree with roots in Latin, French, and German. But the inhabitants of these islands originally spoke another tongue. Look closely enough and English contains traces of the Celtic soil from which it sprung, found in words like bog, loch, cairn, and crag. Today, this heritage can be found nowhere more powerfully than in modern-day Gaelic. In Thirty-Two Words for Field, bestselling Irish author Manchán Magan explores how Gaelic, a three-thousand-year-old lexicon, has imbued the natural world with meaning and magic, evoking a time-honored way of life from its thirty-two separate words for a field to terms like bróis (whiskey for a horseman at a wedding), iarmhaireacht (the loneliness you feel when you are the only person awake at dawn), and bladhmann (steam rising from a fermented haystack or idle boasting). Manchán urges readers to consider the sublime beauty and profound oddness of this ancient tongue that has been spoken in close connection to the land for thousands of years. Told through stories collected from his own life and travels, Thirty-Two Words for Field is an enthralling celebration of Irish words and a testament to the indelible relationship between landscape, culture, and language"-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://georgina.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S192C5483048</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://georgina.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S192C5483048</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Magan, Manchán]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://georgina.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/5483048192</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Lost Words of the Irish Landscape</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781645023760/MC.GIF&amp;client=ontlibconbib&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[I Am Not your Enemy]]></title><description><![CDATA[The memoir of a patriot. Reality Winner was a twenty-five-year-old translator for the NSA when she read a classified document revealing what she assumed would make headlines during a time of unprecedented leaking: After blatant lies by the Trump administration and public silence by the NSA, there had in fact been foreign interference in the 2016 US election. In a breach of NSA protocol, she impulsively printed it, smuggled it out of the building, and mailed it to The Intercept, which published it and then promptly informed the NSA. For her crime, she received the longest prison sentence ever imposed on a government-affiliated employee convicted of a single count of leaking classified information and spent more than four years in federal prison. Now, for the first time, Winner tells her own story: her unusual childhood in South Texas, with a brilliant but unstable father whose obsession with politics, ancient history, philosophy, and religion sparked her own interests in ancient civilizations and the study of foreign languages, including Latin, Arabic, Farsi, Dari, and Pashto; her patriotism, after 9/11, which led her to enlist in the Air Force and join the NSA, where the work she did in the hope of protecting American security was part of the US campaign in Afghanistan; and, most movingly, her life in the American prison system and how it nearly broke her. I Am Not Your Enemy is Winner's bold, brave examination of the moral choices that compel us to act, as well as an account of the risks one young woman took to protect her country and the price she paid for it. It is also a powerful argument for standing up for what you believe in during uncertain times--an inspiring message as relevant now as it was when she made her fateful decision.]]></description><link>https://georgina.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S192C5462092</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://georgina.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S192C5462092</guid><category><![CDATA[PLAYAWAY_AUDIOBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Winner, Reality]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://georgina.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/5462092192</comments><format>PLAYAWAY_AUDIOBOOK</format><subtitle>A Memoir</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9798331711344/MC.GIF&amp;client=ontlibconbib&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Chinese Conversations for Beginners]]></title><description><![CDATA[Are you a Beginner Mandarin Learner looking to improve your spoken Chinese in the most effective way possible?
