"Modernity and Postmodern Culture" critically assesses claims made about the ’postmodernization’ of culture and society and explores the complex interplay between the modern and the postmodern in an increasingly ’globalized world’.

A true story of a mother’s spiritual journey to find if her son’s spirit had survived the death of his physical body. The ghost stories told in Joanne’s childhood by her grandmother and the legends remembered from her Irish ancestry of the Tuatha De Danaan (Gaelic for Children/People of the Goddess Danu) helped decipher the signs along the way. This book will hold a special fascination for readers interested in Celtic Irish history and mythology. Dreams, water scrying, druids, spirit companion animals and the photographs at the cemetery are all part of this mystical journey.
