Fifty years of countless adventures and experiences were distilled into one year of joyful writing to produce this account of travels and wanderings in off-the-beaten-track cities and towns and villages of little known Spain. In a series of articles -often irreverent and opinionated, sometimes openly critical of accepted opinion, yet humorous and well documented- the author shows a profound respect for the essential Spain: its history and culture, and, most of all, for its people. It will appeal to readers with a sense of humour who prefer to travel independently and come to their own conclusions about what they see and hear and experience.

In the early days of September, 1956, the author moved from the comfort-zone of Holy Trinity Catholic Junior School - Holy Tripe, some called it - on Garston's Banks Road, to De La Salle Grammar School, Dwerryhouse Lane, out in the wilds of distant Norris Green and Croxteth and Lord Sefton's sprawling Estate. There, his previously simple world collided with a seemingly endless stream of character-full fellow students and (in many cases) eccentric teachers. These experiences are told in an innocent, disarming, refreshingly honest manner, almost objectively at times; and whilst criticism naturally abounds, there are few occasions where the lighter side of life doesn't shine through.

Going through all twenty-seven letters of the Spanish alphabet, the author takes us from little-known Ayllón to industrial Mieres to monumental Zamora and places in between and beyond, all scattered around the four corners of this land he knows so intimately. We meet colourful characters and surprising situations, humour and irreverence, undisguised criticism and limitless praise, independent opinions and a deep respect for the essence of Spain past and present: for its history and culture and - most of all - for its people.

Family portraits and neighbourhood cameos, friends and acquaintances leaving indelible marks and memories, the good and the less good. The author turns the clock back half a century to the Garston of his childhood and youth.

In this volume a double strategy of framing television as both a prop and a body implant is used. McLuhan first saw television as a body with potential for global community. The author develops McLuhan's vision with more attention to political economy, body politics and bio-technology.

Provides an examination of two opposing viewpoints and covers a discussion of the ethical boundaries of markets, the role of private property rights in environmental protection, the nature of sustainability and the valuation of goods over time. This book is suitable for students studying courses in ecological and environmental economics.

In this study, O'Neill examines the postmodern turn in the social sciences. From a phenomenological standpoint, he challenges Lyotard's post-rationalist reading of Wittgenstein and Habermas, in order to defend commonsense reason and values that are constitutive of the everyday world.

The author draws on considerable research in this area to provide an overdue critical evaluation of the limits of the market, and future prospects for non-market socialism.

Introduces readers to environmental problems by presenting, and then challenging, two approaches to environmental decision-making, one from environmental economics, the other from environmental philosophy. This book examines the implications of this approach for policy issues such as biodiversity conservation and sustainability.

Revealing flaws in both "green" and market-based approaches to environmental policy, O'Neill develops an Aristotelian account of well-being. He examines the implications for wider issues involving markets, civil society and politics in modern society.

Five Bodies offers an introduction to some of the most urgent contemporary concerns within the sociology of the body. This new edition has been substantially revised and updated to address today's issues of the body in modern life, community and politics.

"John O'Neill's gothic short stories, set in the Canadian Rockies, are haunted by the violence inherent in nature and humans. The mountains are majestic and impassive. The characters are surprising, bent, but also empathetic. Their survival is tenuous. A two-sister team of goth tour guides offers guided excursions up switchback mountain trails; a paroled convict thumbs his way into the life of a family driving west; and an animal pathologist, while performing a necropsy on a grizzly bear, has an unusual encounter with both technology and humanity. Goth Girls of Banff is a superb collection, sharply written, with plot turns as consequence-laden as those on an iced-over mountain road."--

Arguments are drawn from political economy, psychoanalysis, and semiotics to describe the cultural functions of the media with respect to the state, the economy, the family, women and children and with regard to the problem of sustaining democratic public and civic institutions whose activities are wholly represented through the media.

Accompanied by supporting text, this book is a valuable pictorial history which will reawaken nostalgic memories for some, while offering a unique glimpse of the past for the others.
