Daily Wisdom - Leann an Lae: Irish Proverbs and Sayings for Each Day of the Year by John Quinn (Paperback) ✓ In Stock

On New Year’s Day 2026, the author and broadcaster John Quinn passed away. He was celebrated for his ‘idea-centred works of art, crafted with precision’, such as his interview series The Open Mind, radio documentaries like This Place Speaks to Me, and books including Letters to Olive, Walking on the Pastures of Wonder and The Passing Year. In September 2021, his collection of seanfhocail, Daily Wisdom - Léann an Lae: Irish Proverbs and Sayings for Each Day of the Year, was published and quickly sold out. Now, to honour John Quinn’s legacy, Red Stripe Press has republished, in paperback format, Daily Wisdom - Léann an Lae, in agreement with his children. Proverbs from the Irish language – seanfhocail – hark back to a time when Ireland and its people were predominantly agricultural, poor and Catholic. Though centuries old, they are integral to our sense of culture and are rich in wisdom that remains relevant to this day. Daily Wisdom - Léann an Lae, which includes a seanfhocal for each day of the year alongside commentary and practical exercises for improving vocabulary, covers such wide-ranging topics as farming life, nature and weather, food and drink, wealth and poverty, health and happiness, the power of God, and pastimes and pleasures. Ideal for seasoned Irish speakers, as well as those coming to the language for the first time, Daily Wisdom - Léann an Lae is a perfect introduction to the untold riches of the Irish proverb tradition.

Reading Between the Lines : What your handwriting says about you by Emma Bache ✓ In Stock

Handwriting is something of a dying art nowadays, as we tap messages to each other day after day. But handwriting analysis can divulge everything from a person's timidity to their ambition, from their desire to please to their need to control. In fact, so revealing is your writing that in Japan all CVs are still written by hand. Written by the UK's leading handwriting expert, Reading Between the Lines will show you how to judge someone's handwriting as a whole and how to examine it in detail. Because every aspect of penmanship - the height of an 'h', the curliness of a 'g', the pressure of the pen on the paper - is a collection of signals that we are giving out without meaning to. The way we write can tell the world a huge amount; sometimes more than the things we write about. Our handwriting exposes how we interact with the world and the people around us, and also how we cope with stress and express emotions. It can help us make choices for our future, showing us what our desires are, and even what jobs and partners may suit us best. Using real-life examples, including celebrity samples, you will be challenged to put your new-found knowledge to the test. By the end of the book you will have amassed a wealth of knowledge that will help you understand human nature - including your own - in all its colours. ISBN 9781787470569
