Pauline Persuasion
This is a book about the use of classical rhetoric in reading Paul. It begins with a useful review of the various strategies, and, in the light of the issues that emerge, it describes a rhetorical method which is then tested on 2 Corinthians 8-9. Here, the advice of the classical rhetorical manuals for constructing a text is used-in reverse order-so as to uncover the persuasive strategy being used by Paul in this case. This technique leads to a quite new reading of the two chapters, which O'Mahony then proceeds to test against the standard work in the field by Hans Dieter Betz.

All In
During a golden era of success for Irish rugby, Peter O'Mahony stood out as the player who most fully embodied the traditional values of the game. Now, in his autobiography, Peter gives us a brilliantly detailed and searching account of the forces that made him who he is: his parents, his beloved Granny Conroy, his club, his school, and the magnificent rugby pedigree of his province. And he traces his evolution as a player, leader and human being across a decade and a half at the highest levels of the game, under coaches including Declan Kidney, Anthony Foley, Rassie Erasmus, Joe Schmidt and Andy Farrell.As an international, Peter was central to Ireland’s greatest ever era. His account of the management methods of Schmidt and Farrell provides remarkable insight into how and why rugby teams succeed or fail. Peter writes about how the Munster teams he played in struggled to live up to the standard set by the group that won two Heineken Cups, and his account of the few months in which he went from feeling unwanted by Munster to being named captain of Ireland is extraordinarily dramatic and revealing.All In is everything that Peter was as a player: frank, combative, self-critical, wholehearted and first-rate.---'A proper player that needs to be mentioned in the same breath as some of the greats' Will Greenwood'Squeezes every bit of his ability into his game, empties himself every time for the cause, always shows up when it gets tough' Ryle Nugent'One of the best I’ve ever seen at making the dressing room feel all right' Andy Farrell'He's the life and soul of the dressing room' Johnny Sexton

'Compelling' Irish TimesAidan O'Mahony was at peak physical fitness and making his mark on the Kerry Senior Football team when he made the devastating choice to walk away from it all.Now, in his powerfully honest memoir, Aidan looks at the events leading up to this moment: the extreme discipline and pressure involved in striving for maximum physical strength, struggling with the asthma that had plagued him since childhood; the on-pitch altercation that took a toll on his mental health; the controversy over a failed drug test and the intense media scrutiny he found himself facing.He also tells of how, in the weeks that followed him quitting the game, he made a decision which would ultimately change everything.'Aidan was one of the most dedicated and resilient players I've ever played with. A true warrior' Colm Cooper

Hailed as one of the leading Israeli poets, Benarroch's poetry has been published in a dozen languages, including Urdu and Chinese. Julia Uceda considers that Benarroch's holds the memory of the world in his poetry, while Jose Luis Garcia Martin thinks that his poems are more than poetry, they are a document. A witness of his time, Benarroch started writing poetry when he was 15, in English, and has always written in his mother tongue Spanish. This is a new edition of "The Immigrant's Lament", and it includes Benarroch's most celebrated poem, which gives the title to this collection. In this book Mois Benarroch (b. 1959, Morocco) describes his immigration and the art of living between two worlds, and never being part. Mois Benarroch has published ten books of poetry in Hebrew, Spanish and English, and five novels. "Destino" in Spain publishes his last novel "On The Gates Of Tangier" (En las puertas de Tanger) in 2008.
