        Corporate and white-collar crime in Ireland

        A new architecture of regulatory enforcement

        by Joe McGrath, Rob Kitchin

        This book explores the emergence of a new architecture of corporate enforcement in Ireland. It is demonstrated that the State has transitioned from one contradictory model of corporate enforcement to another. Traditionally, the State invoked its most powerful weapon of state censure, the criminal law, but was remarkably lenient in practice because the law was not enforced. The contemporary model is much more reliant on cooperative measures and civil orders, but also contains remarkably punitive and instrumental measures to surmount the difficulties of proving guilt in criminal cases. Though corporate and financial regulation has become an area of significant interest for academics, researchers and those with an interest in corporate affairs, this sudden surge of interest lacks a tradition of scholarship or any deep empirical and contextual analysis in Ireland. This book provides that foundation. It is likely to stimulate an extensive conversation on corporate regulation and governance in Ireland. It is also likely to provide a platform for researchers further afield with an interest in comparative study with Ireland. ;

        PAYSAGES D’ISRAEL

        by Moshe Kaufman

        PAYSAGES D’ISRAEL par Moshe Kaufman Ces trente-trois dessins par Moshe Kaufman, choisis parmi des centaines de dessins, sont le fruit des excursions entreprises par lui pour dessiner les paysages historiques et pittoresques de la Terre Sainte. Ils reflètent l'admiration de l'artiste à la vue des paysages majestueux qu'il a pu decouvrir en visitant les différentes régions du pays. Les années pendant lesquelles Kaufman s’est formé ont été passées à Jérusalem, où il a tout d’abord absorbé les paysages urbains de la ville sainte. En tant que jeune étudiant en architecture à Haïfa, il s’est livré de nombreuses randonnées dans les monts du Carmel et de la Galilée. Au cours des années suivantes, lorsqu’il participait à la planification de la ville d'Eilat, il a eu l'occasion d'être en contact étroit avec les vues du désert montagneux du Néguev et de la Arava. Moshe Kaufman est un peintre et architecte à la retraite. Ses paysages, en noir et blanc ou en couleurs, ont été exposés dans plusieurs one-man-shows en Israël, en Floride, et New York lui valant autant de succès. « ... Moshe Kaufman, seulement avec plume et encre sur papier, il peint de simples scènes de campagne et l'intensité, avec laquelle il les fait ressentir, les fait se lever de la feuille du dessin comme d’une page de l'Ancien Testament. Un simple arbre du désert, déchiqueté, avec quelques buissons, et une colline derrière eux, c’est avec cela que Moshe Kaufman est capable de réaliser de la magie. »                           Bruno Pulmer Poroner                          « ARTSPEAK » New York  « ... Kaufman ne copie pas la nature dans un style réaliste. Il adopte plutôt la nuance impressionniste avec une touche personnelle. Ses dessins se composent de mysticisme et d'imagination combinés avec le réalisme. Ses paysages expressifs révèlent une force cachée de l'artiste, ainsi que la vérité intérieure qui le caractérise. »                     « WORLD OF ART » Tel Aviv

        Soft Sweet and Gentle

        by Barbara Cartland

        Lady Georgina Lang returns to The Castle from her father’s funeral to wonder what the future holds for her. Because her father had always longed for a son to succeed him, he had brought her up and educated her exactly as if she was a boy. She dressed as a boy and, although she had been christened Georgina, he liked calling her George. She was completely alone in the huge castle, which was now inherited by the new Earl of Langfield, a distant cousin who had been difficult to trace. Alister, however, had never, in his wildest dreams, expected to become the eleventh Earl of Langfield. He had left England in a fury because, having been pressed into marrying a very suitable young woman chosen by his family, he had run away to be free of her. When she died, he had sworn that he would never marry again as he disliked all women especially those who argued and were determined to have their own way. He finds his cousin Georgina at The Castle and she shows him the vast estate, the farms, the villages and The Castle itself, all of which now belongs to him. He also learns that, as he is the Head of the Family, traditionally they rely on him entirely for financial support. Georgina has already been warned by her aunt that on no account is she to wear men’s clothes in front of Alister and always to be soft, sweet and gentle in his company. And she has to persuade him as a weak woman to realise his position as the Earl of Langfield. How a newspaper article describing The Castle and its valuable contents brings a tiresome neighbour to the Castle. How the Earl, because she is un-chaperoned makes Georgina go to the Dower House. How the article attracts some ferocious burglars to The Castle. How Georgina saves the Earl’s life and unexpectedly finds love and happiness is all told is this unusual story by BARBARA CARTLAND.

        A Primer of Pastoral Spanish

        by Michael J. McGrath

        A Primer of Pastoral Spanish is designed to provide clergy, religious and laity alike with the tools to be pastoral among Spanish-speaking people. This primer is modeled after Madrigal’s Magic Key to Spanish (1953), whose author, Margarita Madrigal, bases her methodology on creating with the language instead of memorizing it. Previous knowledge of Spanish is not necessary, although, as you will discover, you already know thousands of words in Spanish. The vocabulary you know in English is the foundation on which you can build your knowledge of Spanish vocabulary. There are thousands of English words that become Spanish words if you can recognize the slight change that takes place from one language to the other. For example, you will learn how to conjugate a verb in Spanish to the first-person singular of the past tense by dropping a letter from its translation in English and adding an accent. There are 40 units in this primer. If you were to study each unit 30 minutes a day throughout Lent, for example, think about how far you could progress. Each unit consists of four sections: Vocabulary, Prayer or Culture, Cornerstones, and Vocabulary Review. There are four Check Your Progress units. These present more Challenges based on the grammar, vocabulary, and culture you learned in the previous units. The answers to the Challenges are at the end of these units.
