Memoirs of a Horse Lover
ISBN: 9781844018871 / Angielski / Miękka / 156 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In the Republic of Ireland, 1966, a woman had a youth arrested for obstruction. For this, she claims, she was subjected to a vendetta by the boy's family who were corrupt members of the Irish Garda. Her account tells how, since that fateful arrest forty years ago, she has been stalked, followed, assaulted and illegally interned in a mental hospital, then forced to undergo debilitating injections. These robbed her not only of her capacity to function, but also of her ability to partake in the horse riding she loved so much, a passion detailed in this book alongside the less savoury aspects of...

As notions of sex, religion, and politics are radically reworked in an Ireland being re-imagined in ways inconceivable just a... --Where and what is Ireland?--What are the identities of the people of Ireland?--How has European Union policy shaped Irish people's lives and inte... |

ISBN: 9781846311086 / Angielski / Miękka / 364 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Covering the tumultuous period from the Act of Union to the supposed "final settlement" between Britain and Ireland, this richly illustrated... Liverpool in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries was the mirror of Ellis Island: it acted as the great cultural melting pot and processing po...

The Williamite Wars in Ireland
ISBN: 9781852855734 / Angielski / Twarda / 466 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The comprehensive defeat of the Jacobite Irish in the Williamite conflict, a component within the pan-European Nine Years' War, prevented the exiled James II from regaining his English throne, ended realistic prospects of a Stuart restoration and partially secured the new regime of King William III and Queen Mary created by the Glorious Revolution. The principal events - the Siege of Londonderry, the Battles of the Boyne and Aughrim, and the two Sieges and Treaty of Limerick - have subsequently become totems around which opposing constructions of Irish history have been erected. John Childs,...

The Irish Wars 1485-1603
ISBN: 9781855322806 / Angielski / Miękka / 48 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Reformation in England further distanced the Irish, as the majority of Irishmen adhered stubbornly to their Catholicism. Eventually, in Elizabeth's reign, both sides resorted to the use of force on a large scale in a series of bloody wars and rebellions that were to culminate in the Earl of Tyrone's "Great Rebellion" of 1595-1603. This text by Ian Heath looks at the history, organization and tactics of the armies of the Irish Wars (1485-1603), armies which included such troops as the fearsome Irish Galloglasses, who bore a deadly axe six feet long with a blade that was one foot broad

Before the Revolution: Nationalism, Social Change and Ireland's Catholic Elite, 1879-1922
ISBN: 9781859182277 / Angielski / Miękka / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Although much has been written about the impact of developing separatist thought on early twentieth century Irish politics, little is known about Ireland's last Home Rule generation whose expectations were shattered by the revolutionary events of 1916-22. Before the Revolution seeks to redress this imbalance by looking at the influence of education, employment, constitutional politics and wider political associations on the evolution of a new Catholic elite. Gender and class are two important focuses of the study. The experience of employment, membership of political and cultural...

The War on Crime: Notes from the Irish Front
ISBN: 9781859182741 / Angielski / Miękka / 80 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Public and political interest in issues of crime and punishment in Ireland has grown substantially in recent years. However, the debate tends to be poorly informed and rarely rises above the level of hollow rhetoric. This is an area where important decisions are made in a vacuum. Rhetoric and reaction, rather than reason and principle, are the primary forces shaping criminal justice policy.
Over the past five years the official crime rate has declined sharply. This has been offered as support for the politics of zero tolerance. However there is a range of alternative...
