Here, in one complete volume, is the depth and breadth of the great island nation and its people represented in an easily browsed, friendly format. From the Abbey Theatre to the Dublin storyteller Zozimus; from the origin of the Troubles to the origin of the limerick; from the stunning beauty of Connemara to the shattering tragedy of Bloody Sunday; from the greatest writers of the English language to the "confrontational television” of Gay Byrne's The Late Late Show-every aspect of Irish culture, geography, and history is collected and annotated in more than 900 entries from A to Z. Readers will encounter heroes and terrorists, poets and politicians, all of Ireland's counties, ancient myths, and pivotal events-all expertly and succinctly described and explained. With entries written by some of the world's leading authorities on Ireland, Everything Irish is perfect for everyone, from the inquiring reader to the serious student. You can spend a few minutes learning about the much-maligned Travelers and then move on to the equally contentious (in its time) medieval tithe. Visit the majestic Cliffs of Moher and then delve into an analysis of paramilitary groups like the Irish Republican Army and the Ulster Volunteer Force. Explore the ruins of a Romanesque castle or experience the piercing light of the winter solstice inside prehistoric Newgrange, a passage grave older than the pyramids.Across centuries and across counties, the rich landscape of Irish life and heritage springs to life in these pages. An indispensable source of fascinating information and captivating anecdote, this is one book that will never be far from the hands of those with curious minds or an adventurous spirit.

Malachy the Irishman's 14th century text On Poison has been obscure in latter centuries, but in the later Middle Ages, his was a book widely known, including to Holcot and Langland. Following a lengthy introduction, the volume presents an annotated text and translation; it ends with three indexes, designed to open the text.

Dispossession has a long and tortuous history in Ireland, from the Victorian era when evictions were a major social, cultural, and political event; to their dramatic decline after the mid-1850s; and their zenith of media attention and political import in the 1880s, when the Irish National Land League was founded. Drawing on memoirs, ballads, poems, folklore, and novels as well as providing numerous illustrations of contemporary prints and photographs, Curtis provides the first book-length study of rural evictions over a period of sixty years. L. Perry Curtis, Jr, whose books include Coercion and Conciliation in Ireland (1963), retired in 2001 from the Departments of History, Modern Culture, and Media at Brown University. He now lives in Vermont.

This book concerns the significance of the English Channel in British and French literature from the 1780s onwards: a timely subject given the intense debates in progress about the actual and desired relationships between Britain and mainland Europe. The book addresses contemporary authors who use the Channel as a focus for cultural comment, comparing their approaches to those of earlier writers, from Charlotte Smith and Chateaubriand through Hugo and Dickens to historians and travel writers of the 1950s and 1980s.

From the first prehistoric inhabitants of the island to the St Andrews Agreement and decommissioning of IRA weapons, this uniquely concise account of Ireland and its people reveals how differing interpretations of history, ancient and modern, have influenced modern Irish society. Combining factual information with a critical approach, Coohill covers all the key events, including the Great Famine, Home Rule, and the Good Friday Agreement. Updated with two new chapters expanding the discussion of pre-modern Ireland, as well as developments in the 21st century, this highly accessible and balanced account will continue to provide a valuable resource to all those wishing to acquaint themselves further with the complex identity of the Irish people.

"Medieval manuscripts are our shared inheritance, and today they are more accessible than ever thanks to digital copies online. Yet for all that widespread digitization has fundamentally transformed how we connect with the medieval past, we understand very little about what these digital objects really are. We rarely consider how they are made or who makes them. This case-study rich book demystifies digitization, revealing what it's like to remake medieval books online and connecting modern digital manuscripts to their much longer media history, from print, to photography, to the rise of the internet. Examining classic late-1990s projects like "Digital Scriptorium 1.0" alongside late-2010s initiatives like "Bibliotheca Philadelphiensis," and world-famous projects created by the British Library, Corpus Christi College Cambridge, Stanford University, and the Walters Art Museum against in-house digitizations performed in lesser-studied libraries, Whearty tells never-before-published narratives about globally important digital manuscript archives. Drawing together medieval literature, manuscript studies, digital humanities, and imaging sciences, Whearty shines a spotlight on the hidden expert labor responsible for today's revolutionary digital access to medieval culture. Ultimately, this book argues that centering the modern labor and laborers at the heart of digital cultural heritage fosters a more just and more rigorous future for medieval, manuscript, and media studies"--

Si sostiene che l'ASEAN (Associazione delle Nazioni del Sud-Est Asiatico), con un mandato formale debole, sia stata più efficace nel rafforzare la sicurezza e l'ordine regionale e lo sviluppo economico rispetto ad altri organi regionali in Asia. In quanto organizzazione regionale, il modo in cui l'ASEAN ha ripetutamente superato i conflitti non è riuscito a risolverli. Le minacce di terrorismo, la competizione per le armi nucleari e i missili balistici e una disputa irrisolta sulla terraferma sono alcune delle principali aree di tensione tra questi Paesi.

Es wird argumentiert, dass der ASEAN (Verband Südostasiatischer Nationen) trotz seines schwachen formalen Mandats bei der Förderung der regionalen Sicherheit und Ordnung sowie der wirtschaftlichen Entwicklung effektiver war als andere regionale Organisationen in Asien. Als regionale Organisation ist die ASEAN wiederholt daran gescheitert, solche Konflikte zu lösen. Die Bedrohung durch den Terrorismus, die Konkurrenz um Atomwaffen und ballistische Raketen sowie ein ungelöster Streit um Land gehören zu den wichtigsten Spannungsfeldern zwischen diesen Ländern.

Argumenta-se que a ASEAN (Associação das Nações do Sudeste Asiático), com um mandato formal fraco, tem sido mais eficaz no reforço da segurança e da ordem regionais, bem como no desenvolvimento económico, do que outros órgãos regionais na Ásia. Enquanto organização regional, a forma como a ASEAN tem repetidamente superado os seus problemas não tem conseguido resolver esses conflitos. Ameaças de terrorismo, competição por armas nucleares e mísseis balísticos, e uma disputa não resolvida por terras constituem algumas das principais áreas de tensão entre estes países.

Written over a period of eight years, the poems in Shale Bings amble across adolescent landscapes, hazy spectres of West Lothian and the (queer) loves within, playful in their encounters with creatures and flora otherwise disregarded. Through these poems Ian Macartney attempts desire paths towards 'posthuman joy' - poems that ask to come play in the soil, to jump in the canal, to pretend to be a lovely dog, then follow through on what such shared futures might look/smell/taste/sound/vibe like.
