From
the arrival of the Celts to the present, "Heritage of Ireland" reveals
how history, climate, and culture have worked together to create a distinctively
Irish identity. With stunning illustrations (150 color and 50 b&w photos)
and an authoritative text that brings to life the heritage of this magical
island, this book is a celebration of both Irish life and Irish culture.
Price:
$20.97
Through
his consideration of cultural diversity, social and religious systems,
art, language, law, and oral traditions, Cunliffe is able to draw a distinction
between societies which conform to an ethnic `Celtic' model and those subjected
to `Celtization', and tease out a fascinating new picture of the identity
of the Celts. This book is intended for scholars and students of European
archaeology and prehistory.
Price:
£20.00
The
story of the Celtic people begins with their expansion throughout Europe
in the 4th century B.C. Because they left no written record, their culture
has been reconstructed entirely from archaeological finds and accounts
left by Roman historians. Includes 257 illustrations, 225 in full color.

Celtic
Warriors : The Armies of One of the First Great Peoples in Europe by
Daithi
O'Hogain Europe
seems forever to have been a vast battlefield, and never more so than in
ancient times when the Celtic peoples ranged across its hills and valleys,
plains and mountains, for about a thousand years. Even their name comes
from roots that indicate 'to strike,' 'combat,' 'fighter,' 'destroyer,'
and would have been used by themselves as a laudatory term reflecting their
success in overcoming other peoples and spreading their power.
Price:
$17.50
This
book is laid out in five sections looking at the Irish people and countryside
from ancient times. For example the first has: The Making of the Irish
Landscape in Prehistory; The Irishness of the Irish; The Countryman: From
`The Character of Ireland'. It explores the whole island of Ireland and
the influences brought about by demographic changes.
Price:
$38.95
Part
of my website is called "My Place Amongst The Stones" and indeed our history
is in our stones. There is hardly a corner of Ireland without traces of
life dating back many, many thousands of years. The circle of stones near
me is in Moytura in Cong, from which I took my company name.

The
religious ideas and practices of pre-Christian Ireland are considered through
a sensitive interpretation of the early literature of Ireland and archaeological
findings. The examination begins with the earliest known settlement in
Ireland in 7000BC and moves on to the Druid and their teachings, practices
and rituals and ultimately to the rise of Christianity.
Price:
$45.00
The
development of Irish society is traced from its origins as a postglacial
culture of hunters and gatherers through the technological and artistic
advances of its golden age in second millennium B.C.

$35.95
Drawing
from both the pre-Christian and Christian Celtic heritage, this collection
of essays by noted Irish theologians, folklorists and scholars examines
the wonder and darkness of the Celtic tradition. It assesses the impact
and popularity of Celtic spirituality and then demonstrates the value of
Celtic spirituality for today.
Logan
divides his book into several sections which deal with the vikings from
a geographical perspective, treating groups separately, e.g. the Vikings
in Ireland or the Vikings in England. This isolationist approach gives
better perspectives on the individual movements of various Viking tribes
and their accomplishments in the respective area.
Price:
$21.99
The 40 volumes of this full
set of publications act as a nineteenth-century Domesday book, and are
essential to the understanding of the cultural heritage of our communities.
The Memoirs record landscape, buildings and antiquities, land-holdings
and population, and employment and livelihood of the parishes. Only the
province of Ulster was covered by this scheme in the 1830s and now the
Institute
of Irish Studies, the Queen's University of Belfast, in association with
the Royal Irish Academy, has published the Memoirs in full to provide a
unique source for the cultural heritage of our community. The authors'
links will bring you to the full collection.
