The perfect gift for any
Irish-American interested in Irish heritage, this charmingly illustrated
history of the Emerald Isle shares the unique customs, sights, and sounds
of each county of Ireland.
The
twenty chapters in this book look at a wide variety of Irish Society from
the invlovement of the church, Irish theatre, the language, the arts, Ireland's
stand on neutrality from de Valera's time and many other areas.
In
their day, the Anglo-Irish were the ascendant minority--Protestant, loyalist,
privileged landholders in a recumbent, rural, and Catholic land. Their
world is vanished, but shades of the Anglo-Irish linger in the big- house
estates of Ireland and in the imaginative writings of this realm.
Covering a period from c.1450
to the present, this Companion is designed to serve the needs of readers
whose interests lie well beyond the familiar boundaries of Irish culture.
At the same time it provides fresh critical insight into those traditionally
more prominent subjects such as literature and political history.
Covers areas such as: Religion,
Ethnicity and Transgression ; Scapegoating and the Two Senses of Religion
To Die For: the Tacit Dimension of Belonging; Fables of Identity: John
Hewitt and Seamus Heaney Identity Politics: Sectarianism and the Rhetoric
of Moderation
This book looks at popular
print culture in 18th and 19t -century Ireland, and how its stories of
knights and heroes, highwaymen and cattle stealers were read and understood.
Orange ritual, the relationship between literacy, printing and languages,
and Gaelic religious songs are just some of the topics covered by the author.
This wonderful book allows
the reader to experience a place and a people now gone. For anyone who
loves Ireland and wants to understand its ways and its culture this book
is a must.
Amazon
published the first edition of 'Gaelic Titles' by the Lord of Duhallow
back in 1990. There is nothing else quite like it in the field of Irish
works. It has now been updated, and expanded with several contemporary
topics. This book is the last of the genre. We will not be reprinted again.
As its booming economy has
suddenly pushed Ireland into the ranks of the richer European countries,
O'Toole's observations--informed by an impressive appreciation of history
and the arts, and a desire for the Irish to become more tolerant of other
cultures--have never been more relevant.

TELECOMMUNICATIONS
INDUSTRY
The
telecommunications industry goes from strength to strength world wide,
especially with de-regulation opening up most countries to healthy and
cost-cutting competition. The company, for which we are Independent Consultants,
has been so successful since its European start-up in 1998 that it has
now expanded from the UK to Ireland Belgium, and the Netherlands,
with the USA opening in Feb 2002. It plans to expand even further in the
very near future - to:
Australia,
Brazil, Denmark, Germany, Japan, Mexico, and Poland.
If
you, or anyone you know, living in any of these countries would like to
start a home-based business, the opportunities are enormous as this company
is only just beginning and, as Independent Consultants, everyone will be
in at the very ground level. E-MAIL
