Paperback. Condition: Very Good. The Bumper Book of Kerryman Jokes contains hundreds of jokes, riddles, one-liners, stories and inventions to thrill even the most politically-correct among us. Why do Kerry dogs have flat faces? From chasing parked cars. First Kerryman: 'What's Mick's other name?' Second Kerryman: 'Mick who?' Have you heard about the Kerryman who bought a black and white dog? He figured the licence would be cheaper than for a coloured one. Two Corkmen and a Kerryman were about to be shot by firing squad so they decided to try and divert their executioners and escape in the resulting confusion. 'Air-raid!' shouted the first Corkman, and made his escape as the guards took cover. 'Avalanche!' shouted the second Corkman and he too got away. 'Fire!' shouted the Kerryman. …

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. This was the third volume in Des MacHale's best-selling Wit series, the best collection of witty remarks ever published. This volume was previously published as Yet More Wit but under that title it languished; it looked like an also ran, yet it was every bit as good as the original Wit. It joins Wit, Wit - the Last Laugh and Wit Rides Again in this magnificent compendium of short, sharp quips. The wonderful Des MacHale, Mathematics Professor at University College, Cork, and lifetime collector of funny remarks and devastating repartee, is the star performer at humour conferences round the world, and is the author of a multitude of books. The volume is organised by theme, so all the quotations on medicine and doctors, for example, are together, as are quotes relating to media and films, sports, politics, love and marriage, sex, food, education and many other subjects. As well as brilliant quotes from classic humorists such as Oscar Wilde and Woody Allen, we have Noel Coward, Winston Churchill, Lenny Bruce, Rita Rudner, Groucho Marx, WC Fields, Spike Milligan etc, etc. "Marriage - "I was married by a judge, but should have asked for a jury." Groucho Marx; Places - "I went to Naples to see Vesuvius and do you know what? The bloody fools had let it go out." Spike Milligan".…

Hardback. Condition: Very Good. Choosing to Run takes readers through both the triumphs and greatest challenges of Des Linden's career, including the day that, despite freezing rain and gusting winds, she experienced her career-defining win at the 2018 Boston Marathon. She discusses her unique journey, and how she got there despite being the underdog who wasn't born with golden sneakers. After her historic win, Des became a cult fan and media favorite - she is regularly covered in the New York Times (one feature followed her unique take on the NYC Marathon during COVID), she appears as a marathon analyst on NBC Sports, and reaches hundreds of thousands of fans on social media. She has a full racing schedule through 2024, and she continues to be sponsored by her partner of 15 years, Brooks Running, which reaches 3.4M+ across social media and email. Friends who are excited to share the book include Des's close friend Shalane Flanagan (see comps below), Angela Duckworth, David Epstein, Rich Roll, Tedy Bruschi, and Ben Gibbard.…

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Why are the fields of science and technology still considered to be predominantly male professions? The Madame Curie Complex moves beyond the most common explanations--limited access to professional training, lack of resources, exclusion from social networks of men--to give historical context and unexpected revelations about women's contributions to the sciences. Exploring the lives of Jane Goodall, Rosalind Franklin, Rosalyn Yalow, Barbara McClintock, Rachel Carson, and the women of the Manhattan Project, Julie Des Jardins considers their personal and professional stories in relation to their male counterparts--Albert Einstein, Robert Oppenheimer, Enrico Fermi--to demonstrate how the gendered culture of science molds the methods, structure, and experience of the work. With lively anecdotes and vivid detail, The Madame Curie Complex reveals how women scientists have often asked different questions, used different methods, come up with different explanations for phenomena in the natural world, and how they have forever transformed a scientist's role.…
