Synopsis

Irish Migration explores the far-reaching story of Irish emigration, examining why millions left Ireland and how they reshaped societies globally. It highlights the Great Famine as a pivotal moment, driving mass exodus, but also delves into other factors like economic hardship, political upheaval, and social pressures that fueled this diaspora. The book uniquely emphasizes the resilience and adaptability of Irish migrants, challenging narratives of victimhood and showcasing their cultural contributions to host countries. This comprehensive study traces Irish migration from early seasonal patterns through the post-World War II era, providing historical context and analyzing the motivations behind each wave. It examines the experiences of migrants in various destinations, including Britain, the United States, Canada, and Australia, highlighting their challenges and contributions. By drawing on diverse sources like census data, letters, and oral histories, Irish Migration offers a nuanced understanding of identity formation and cultural exchange within the Irish diaspora.

 
The book progresses by first establishing the historical and economic conditions that spurred Irish emigration. Subsequent chapters delve into specific periods, such as the Great Famine, and analyze the experiences of Irish migrants in different regions. The conclusion emphasizes the lasting impact of Irish migration on global culture.

    This is a compendium of theories of the shape of the Earth, along with a great deal of 'Earth Mystery' lore. Richly illustrated, the Book of Earths includes many unusual theories, including Columbus' idea that the Earth is literally pear-shaped, modern theories that the Earth was originally tetrahedral, and so on. Kenton also covers many traditional theories including the ancient Babylonians and Egyptians, Hindu and Buddhist cosmology, and those of the Peruvians, Aztecs and Mongols. She also discusses modern alternative theories such as that of Reed and Koresh. Strangely enough, she misses or ignores the modern flat earth theory of Rowbotham. This is the only apparent omission in this definitive study. Kenton has no apparent axe to grind: this is simply a very readable survey of the literature if you have any interest in 'Earth mysteries"

    Watford Forever - How Graham...

    The unforgettable story of Watford Football Club’s seemingly impossible rise from the Fourth to the First Division, led by the unlikely duo of Hornet’s manager Graham Taylor and rock star–turned-owner, Elton John. 
     
    Long before English soccer became an American passion, Watford Football Club—a team located in a working-class industrial town that time and prosperity had passed by—languished at the bottom of the English Football League. Despite their pitiful record, the club enthralled a local boy by the name of Reginald Dwight, who began attending games with his father, an avid fan, in 1953. 
     
    More than twenty years later, having shed his given name, Elton John had become the most successful rock star in the world. With his six-inch platforms, spangled jumpsuits, and peroxide-colored hair, Elton was glamorous, gay, and seemingly a universe away from the village where he had supported Watford FC, yet his boyhood love of Watford and its dogged players remained. When tempted to buy the sputtering team in 1976, everyone begged Elton not to invest, but they were his team, as they were his father’s, and he refused to believe that Watford was beyond redemption. 
     
    Watford Forever, then, is the remarkable account of Elton John’s ownership of Watford FC, and its transformational journey to the top of the First Division under iconic manager Graham Taylor, who was, in the words of award-winning journalist John Preston, “as traditional as Elton was unconventional.” Inspiring, funny, and ultimately heartrending, this is a tribute to soccer’s unlikeliest duo as Elton and Taylor—a straight-talking former fullback with literally no interest in rock music—both beat the odds and their personal demons to save a club and a community. 
     
    Immersed in the grit of Seventies Britain, Watford Forever tells the story of this “indissoluble bond,” revealing how the power of sports and respect for the “other” brought about a reclamation whose reverberations can be felt to this day.
