<p>Can Ireland return to prosperity and full employment? How do we make the Irish political system more effective and less prone to the sort of catastrophic errors that led to the misery of the 1950s, 1980s and today? Are the nations of Europe being dissolved into an EU super state? Is the rise of Asia and the eclipse of the West imminent and inevitable? In a volume of extraordinary analytical breadth and depth, Dan O'Brien gives answers to these questions and many more of pressing relevance to the rapidly changing world in which we live. Along with much new material focusing on the unprecedented developments of this final year of the decade, Ireland, Europe and the World brings together articles and essays published in the Irish and international media over the past ten years. This informed, thoughtful and elegantly written book by one of Ireland's most respected and original thinkers provides many insights into the future direction of Ireland and the wider world.</p>

For over two decades, Rain City Projects has been proud to be a member of a community that embraces the risky endeavor of new theater work. In the Pacific Northwest, it is possible for a playwright to create a piece, pull together a reading or two, take advantage of a community workshop, and then to present their work on their own dime or under the umbrella of one of our many new works theaters. The bold failures become a learning ground for everyone involved. And the successes? What of the successes? One hopes that a success in our community will go on to other productions, in other places, and will help develop playwrights on a national level. But that doesn t always happen. In 2006, Rain City Projects decided to sing the praises of our successes, of our playwrights who are talented and bold and risky and funny, artists who are being shaped in the Northwest. The goal is to expose them to a wider audience and encourage the world to take notice. So, we launched the Manifesto Series. We begin with an endorser, a playwright with roots in the Pacific Northwest who has a national voice and presence. We ask them to write a manifesto of what theater is, what it should be. Then we let them choose scripts by Northwest playwrights which fulfill that manifesto. And then we publish the collection in an anthology and widely disperse the anthology with a thumbs-up. With this, our fourth collection, we are certain we are on the right track. We are delighted with Chay Yew s manifesto and in awe of the quality of scripts in the collection he chose. Read them with our blessings. Love them with the knowledge that we do, too. Becky Bruhn Rain City Projects

The decade of the 1980s seemed like a "return to Camelot" for our nation's capital-at least for pro football fans. Following the 1982 NFL season, the Washington Redskins returned to the Super Bowl for the first time in a decade. Their victory in Super Bowl XVII returned the NFL championship to Washington for the first time in 40 years. Over the next 10 years, the Redskins earned three more trips to the Super Bowl and brought two more Lombardi trophies as the champions of pro football. Reaganomics might have rescued the country from an economic recession, but it was Riggo-nomics that fueled the Redskin Nation. Smack dab in the middle of it all was Mark May. The Redskins' top pick in the 1981 draft, "May Day" was an All-American and Outland Trophy winner from the University of Pittsburgh but just "just a kid" from Oneonata, New York. In Mark May's Tales from the Washington Redskins, May takes you onto the playing field and inside the huddle. You'll hear behindthe-scenes stories from outside the field of play, from the locker room to the team play. You'll also get May's first-person account of the Redskins' extra curricular activities. Mark May's Tales from the Washington Redskins also includes May's person reflections on the people behind the Redskins' success-Jack Kent Cooke, Joe Gibbs, Bobby Beathard, Joe Theismann, John Riggins, Bobby Beathard, The Hogs, and the Washington Redskins' loyal and devoted followers, the "greatest fans in the National Football League."

<p>On Common Ground is an exciting multidisciplinary, multimodal project and partnership between the arts and sciences. This convergence of writers, naturalists, artists, and various -ologists took place in the fall of 2021 in the northern Loess Hills. These hills form a narrow band along the eastern edge of the Missouri River floodplain for approximately 200 miles, stretching much of the Iowa border. Sculpted from the deepest deposits of wind-borne glacial silt in the United States, these Hills remain home to a significant collection, both in size and number, of Iowa’s remnant prairies.</p>
