    Food for Thought is a series of thoughtful essays on books in author Michael Galvin’s library. He takes a closer look on the lessons he’s learned from volumes as diverse as Benedictus by John O’Donoghue to The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying by Sogyal Rinpoche. In the introduction, Michael Galvin says “The idea is to pay a visit to individual books of my collection and dedicate a chapter to each. I am excited at the prospect of introducing you to some of my most trusted literary companions and friends, which I must caution, include a number of surprises and perhaps, unexpected characters!”

    Celebrating 21 Years The Cork Person of the Month and Cork Person of the Year Awards scheme, was established in 1993, and covers Cork City and Cork County. Back then, like today, the media was full of doom and gloom and founder, Manus O’Callaghan, wanted to establish a vehicle to deliver the good news stories and the people behind them. The book, 21 Years of the Cork Person of the Year Awards, was written by Irish Examiner correspondent John Daly and features articles on all of the annual winners and many of the 252 people who were presented with monthly awards throughout the last 21 years. It celebrates all that is good about Cork and its people and showcases the achievements of Cork people throughout all regions and backgrounds. It features entrepreneurs, sports stars, artists and charity workers. People are inspired by people, and hopefully, by honouring achievement and celebrating success, others may be inspired to follow in the footsteps of our local heroes. The award scheme and book celebrates Cork’s greatest asset – our people [ssba]

  • Tom O'Connell

    It was in late 2015; I was in Naas Hospital on one of my many visits, which were increasingly fearful, and my father, Jim Connell, was preparing me for his upcoming demise. It did not come to pass, however. He went on to have a near-death experience, recover from illness and return to live happily at home in Loraine. Neither of us is overtly religious, so I wondered where he had got his strength and belief from. I decided to try and find out. These stories, recounted over many interviews and with several people, were an unexpected bonus. €3 from each book sale goes to the Jack and Jill Children’s Foundation.

  • Seamus Moore

    Rock Around the Clock is a highly entertaining book with Informative credentials. With a year-by-year review of over 291 Top 10 songs from three countries (USA, UK, and Ireland) the book contains a year and song index making it easy to dip into for your favourite year or song.   Seamus Moore was born in Thurles, County Tipperary in 1946. In his early twenties, at the height of the showband scene, he travelled the country playing the trombone, first with The Jack Hanley Showband from Templemore and later with the Enniskillen-based The Skyrockets. Forty years on, Seamus shared his love of music, particularly the sixties (especially the Beatles) presenting music programmes on local radio. The research required for the radio shows motivated Seamus to write his first book ‘All Together Now, We Love The Beatles’ in 2015.
