    This book is an extended study, in the Post-Reformation period, of the impact of the Gaels in the west of Scotland and the north of Ireland on each other’s religious heritage. Beginning half a century before the plantation of Ulster, Missions to the Gaels illuminates the origins of the sectarian divisions in Northern Ireland. The research deals with both Protestants and Catholics, rather than treating only one denomination in isolation. The author explores the intriguing situation whereby Scottish Gaelic-speaking ministers laid the foundations of the embryonic Protestant Church in Ireland, while at the same time Irish-speaking priests were almost exclusively responsible for the reintroduction of Catholicism to the Highlands and Islands of Scotland.  The range of this book extends beyond narrow ecclesiastical issues: it reveals the broader political and cultural forces that determined the Gaels’ choice of religious alignment and traces the effects of these over two centuries of turbulent change in Gaelic society.

    Olmec Civilization - The First...

    The Olmec civilization, often regarded as the "Mother Culture" of Mesoamerica, emerged around 1200 BCE in the tropical lowlands of present-day southern Mexico, specifically in the Gulf Coast region. This area, rich in natural resources, served as the cradle for one of the earliest and most influential cultures in the Americas. The Olmec are best known for their monumental stone heads, intricate artwork, and the development of many foundational aspects of Mesoamerican civilization. 
The origins of the Olmec civilization can be traced back to a combination of environmental factors, agricultural innovations, and the development of social structures. The region’s fertile lands provided an abundant supply of food, particularly maize, which became the cornerstone of Olmec agriculture. The availability of other crops, such as beans, squash, and cassava, further supported the growth of a settled society. The Olmec were skilled farmers, and their ability to adapt to the challenging conditions of the tropical lowlands allowed them to create surplus food, leading to population growth and the emergence of more complex social and political systems. 
One of the defining features of the Olmec civilization was the rise of their urban centers, most notably San Lorenzo, La Venta, and Tres Zapotes. These cities became hubs of political and religious activity, with powerful rulers who controlled vast territories. The creation of these urban centers marked a shift from small, scattered villages to larger, more centralized societies. The Olmec rulers established authority through both political power and religious influence, often associating themselves with divine figures and acting as intermediaries between the gods and the people. This centralization of power allowed for the coordination of large-scale construction projects, such as the creation of the colossal stone heads and other monumental sculptures.
