Pick up your copy today!What others are saying about it: Extremely interesting plot and theme. Loads of detail about various places, and objects plus the workings of the Russian mind. Makes good reading with a lot of interesting and informative detail. I like that in stories and I think there are a lot of readers who like to learn something new when reading a novel. John Fisher, author of Fatal CaminoAs a reader who has preferred reading extended science fiction/fantasy and thrillers with characters we follow over many books, such as Robert Jordan, [Tom] Clancy's Jack Ryan, etc., I found reading "The Eye of the Beholder" making me wish for more stories of Gwendolyn. Luckily, I discovered that there would be a sequel coming. Thank you!>Eye of the Beholder is a fast-paced cross continental adventure that is much more than the standard light fluff the genre is known for. It does what books are supposed to do, not just entertain, but educate as well. I came away with a deeper understanding not only of art, but of other cultures as well. Especially with Covid-19 restricting travel, books like this are a much needed voyage into cultures different than our own. Written by someone who has obviously lived in other cultures and can relate the differences and similarities between them, it is a gateway drug into that intoxicating state of wanting to know more. I found myself perusing my library checking out books on topics brought up by reading Eye of the Beholder.Tog

This book presents a political understanding of socio-economic rights by contextualising constitution-makers' and judges' decision-making in terms of Ireland's rich history of people's struggles for justice 'from below' between 1848 and the present. Its theoretical framework incorporates critical legal studies and world-systems analysis. It performs a critical discourse analysis of constitution-making processes in 1922 and 1937 as well as subsequent property, trade union, family and welfare rights case law. It traces the marginalisation of socio-economic rights in Ireland from specific, local and institutional factors to the contested balance of core-peripheral and social relations in the world-system. The book demonstrates the endurance of ideological understandings of state constitutionalism as inherently neutral between interests. Unemployed marches, housing protestors and striking workers, however, provided important challenges and oppositional discourses. Recognising these enduring forms of power and ideology is vital if we are to assess critically the possibilities and limits of contesting socio-economic rights today.

Part three contains a linguistic analysis of the terminology and illustrates how the language of sadomasochism is related both to the English language as a whole and to the sadomasochists who use the specialized language.
