Wondering what life might be like married to a farmer?Is a farmer a good catch?How do you find a great farmer to marry?Does the prospect of marrying a farmer scare you?How do farmers today compare to their predecessors?Lorna Sixsmith's book 'Would You Marry A Farmer?' is a witty guide for anyone considering marrying or already married to a farmer. From a comparison of the farmer today to his predecessor, with complete instructions on how to find a good farmer, what you need to know when you start dating your farmer to tips on how to stay married to that farmer, it provides a realistic yet very funny look at life in farming. The first section explores how the mid-twentieth century Irish farmer was represented in literature, newspapers and political debates. Were they a good catch? You'll find it was a contentious issue with the bachelor farmer being of much concern within society. The other four sections provide a realistic look at rural life, providing advice on finding the right farmer to marry, tips for successful dating, and as you'll be marrying his family as well as him, how to do it all with aplomb. Described as a 'beautifully produced book' by Ryan Tubridy, and a 'rich story' by Rich Rennicks of A Trip To Ireland, this is more than a hilarious look at Irish farming.Dee Sewell of Greenside Up described it as 'capturing so much of what makes Ireland unique in a no-nonsense, honest to goodness fashion. If you're looking to marry into the farming way of life or are just plain curious about what farmers do all day, you'll be under no romantic illusions about this hard-working way of life once you've read the book.'Des Kenny of Kenny's Bookshop said Whereas the book] is couched in apparently satiric terms, it does give an insight into the realities of a woman's life in rural Ireland in a significant and meaningful way and can equally be categorised under the headings of Sociology, Rural Studies and Gender Studies.Commissioner: It is an overview and portrayal of Irish farm life in historic times and in the current day, written from the perspective of a farmer's spouse. While couched in a humorous and accessible tone, it contains no small amount of research and scholarship and conveys serious information and insight into the realities and challenges of farming life.

While presented in a light-hearted and accessible manner, the information contained therein is serious, relevant and thought-provoking, and constitutes a worthwhile piece of sociology.…

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Stories of businesses demonstrating their positive role and the possibility of being agents of transformative change. The Economy of Communion involves a worldwide network of solidarity among some 800 firms that together constitute a vibrant business community based upon the values of sharing, caring and justice. Drawing on the experiences of an international sample of business and community leaders, particularly from the United States and Brazil, Lorna Gold explains the historical and philosophical origins of this fascinating global community. Gold examines the origins and substance of a promising alternative to the current globalized economy. During a 1991 trip to Brazil, Chiara Lubich challenged Focolare members to launch businesses that could create jobs and opportunities. Almost twenty years later, Benedict XVI cited the Economy of Communion in Caritas in Veritate as a promising form of intermediate activity between for-profit business and classic non-profit institutions. John L. Allen Jr. What Gold has provided . is a theologically grounded understanding of a robust culture that has the capacity to engage the whole human person as a unity to overcome the divisive effects of a fragmented and divided self in economic life. It not only tells the story of the Economy of Communion, but it provides a model for entrepreneurs and managers who are interested in building communities of work and not merely nexuses of exchange. It is a book that should be widely read in the U.S., especially in the academy, which too often lacks such integrative and interdisciplinary analysis between theoretical visions and practical experience. Michael J. Naughton, Moss Chair of Catholic Social Thought, University of St. Thomas, MN Rather than merely describing, praising, or criticizing, it sets out to answer questions such as, Is the EOC a new model of the firm? Is it a workable model? Can it guide us in the current debate on how to overcome the models based on self-interest? New Financial Horizons is a very readable book that will interest many educated readers, even those who have no specialized knowledge of economics, theology, or business ethics. All the information they need in order to understand the history and messages of the EOC is provided. Antonio Argando a, IESE Business School, University of Navarra, Spain in Journal of Markets & Morality, Vol 14, No.1 (2011) Download Read full review Gold describes] the challenges faced by the world at the dawn of our new millennium as a nexus of crises: economic recession, social inequality, environmental threat, and political instability . Gold traces their problems to the assumption that a human being is best described as homo oeconomicus. This positing of rational economic man at the core of human existence marks a definitional exclusion of trust and relationality, making it difficult to imagine an alternative reality . Gold reclaims ways of imagining human existence that do not assume self-interested rational choice at their core, taking Focolare and its EoC networks - launched in Brazil in 1991 but now spread around the world - as her primary example . One need not subscribe to the movement's social trinitarianism in order to see such work as vitally important. Brett McCarty, The Living Church.…
